Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a log storing unit that stores a log of each of plural object items that are set in advance, and a setting unit that, when an error occurs, selects predetermined one or more object items from the plural object items on the basis of a type of the error, and makes a setting such that logs of the selected one or more object items are stored in the log storing unit.

Abstract: Pulp bleaching method using SKB-1152 strain which is a lignin-degrading strain having high lignin degrading activity and pulp bleaching activity, or the culture produced using the SKB-1152. When the SKB-1152 strain of this invention or the culture produced using the same is to bleach pulp, the same bio-bleaching method as in the prior report may be used and there is no need for any special culture conditions. The SKB-1152 strain of the invention can be collected from decolorized areas formed in a culture rue medium which contains, lignin and/or pulp containing residual lignin, and being inoculated with a isolating source sample and cultured.

Abstract: A silver halide photosensitive material for a color filter comprising at least three silver halide emulsion layers having different spectral sensitivities and each silver halide emulsion layer contains couplers which form blue, green and red by coupling reaction with the oxidation product of a developer, wherein the amount of the couplers in a red coloring layer is adjusted so that each transmission density of the yellow and magenta dye components measured when all the couplers in the red coloring layer are subjected to color development is 1.5 or more, and a black matrix part becomes substantially black of transmission density of 2.5 or more when all the couplers on a support are subjected to reaction.

Abstract: An antiviral medicinal composition having spent liquor from kraft pulping and/or processed products thereof (kraft lignin, sulfomethylated and/or sulfopropylated kraft lignin) as major constituents, are effective agents in therapeutic and/or preventive methods against AIDS.

Abstract: Compositions for anti-AIDS virus and other antivirus medicines are disclosed. Included are one having the ingredients other than glycyrrhizin contained in licorice, specifically flavonoids contained in licorice and more specifically not less than one kind of substance selected from a group consisting of liquiritigenin, i-liquiritigenin, liquiritin and i-liquiritin and glycyrrhizin produces allowed to contain not less than 3% of flavonoids contained in licorice based on glycyrrhizin as major constituting elements. Method of preparing said compositions having the filtrate obtained through the ultrafiltration of aqueous extract from licorice using ultrafiltration membrane with a fractionatable molecular weight of 10,000 to 100,000 as an effective ingredient and drugs for the pevention from infection and onset and for the therapy against AIDS used said compositions are also claimed.

Abstract: A composition for anti-AIDS viral and other antiviral medicines having spent liquor from pulping and/or processed products thereof as major constituents and preventive and/or therapeutic method(s) against AIDS viral and other viral infections are presented.
