Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a novel catalyst having high mechanical strength and capable of obtaining an unsaturated aldehyde or an unsaturated carboxylic acid in a high yield and a method for producing the same, and a method for producing an unsaturated aldehyde and/or an unsaturated carboxylic acid using the catalyst. By containing silane-treated glass fibers in a catalytic active component composed of molybdenum and bismuth as essential components, high mechanical strength is revealed, and it is possible to obtain an unsaturated aldehyde or an unsaturated carboxylic acid in a high yield.

Abstract: A catalyst and a catalyst packing schedule are designed so that a relation between the raw material conversion rate at which the yield of the objective product becomes maximum and the raw material conversion rate at which a high and low correlation between maximum temperature of the catalyst layer present closest to a reaction gas inlet side Zin and maximum temperature of the catalyst layer present closest to a reaction gas outlet side Zout is reversed satisfies a specific condition of 0.5?Cmax?Ccrs?5, in which Cmax: a raw material conversion rate at which yield of the objective products becomes maximum; and Ccrs: a raw material conversion rate at which, when maximum temperature of the catalyst layer Zin is regarded as Tin, maximum temperature of the catalyst layer Zout is regarded as Tout, and the raw material conversion rate is changed, a high and low correlation between Tin and Tout is reversed.

Abstract: A bag body of an airbag includes a recessed area that is sunken forward and extends vertically generally at the center in a left and right direction of the passenger side wall. The airbag internally includes a vertical tether that pulls the front end of the recessed area forward at airbag deployment. The airbag further includes two horizontal tethers; an upper horizontal tether and a lower horizontal tether, which connect the left side wall and right side wall of the bag body, respectively, and are deployable generally in a left and right direction in order to limit the clearance between the left side wall and right side wall. The upper horizontal tether is located in an area above the vertical tether and the lower horizontal tether is located in an area below the vertical tether.

Abstract: There is provided a process for producing aerolein, acrylic acid, methacrolein, methacrylic acid in a safe and steady manner and in high yields, which avoids a phenomenon of occurrence of an abnormal reaction attributable to the fact that the temperature at a raw material gas outlet side becomes considerably higher than the temperature at a raw material gas inlet side, with regard to the temperature of a catalyst packed in a reaction tube at vapor-phase catalytic oxidation of propylene, isobutylene, or the like.

Abstract: A side airbag apparatus 1 is provided between tops 8 of seat backs 2b, 3b. When supplied with inflation gas from an inflator 1c, an airbag 20 is projected from a storage portion 1b. At this time, the airbag 20 is first inflated and deployed upward and forward at the height of an occupant, so as to be capable of restricting the movement of the occupant's head toward the inside of the vehicle at an early stage of a side collision.

Abstract: A present invention relates to a method for quantitatively determining sugar-alcohols characterized by passing test samples containing sugar-alcohols, proteins, and saccharides through a column filled with basic anion-exchange resins which have a protein-removing ability and a saccharide-removing ability, and then quantitaing the sugar-alcohols in the effluent out of the column, a column filled with said resins and an aqueous solution of boric acid, and a kit. Sugar-alcohols such as 1,5-anhydroglucitol and the like have been calling attention as markers for diabetes mellitus recently.

Abstract: Pre-foamed particles of an uncrosslinked, linear low-density polyethylene have a crystalline structure characterized in that two endothermic peaks appear on a DSC curve obtained by differential scanning calorimetry of the pre-foamed particles (said DSC curve having been obtained by heating 1-5 mg of the pre-foamed particles to 220.degree. C. at a rate of 10.degree. C./min by a differential scanning calorimeter) and the energy at the endothermic peak on the higher-temperature side is 5 J/g or more. A process for the production of the pre-foamed particles of the uncrosslinked, linear low-density polyethylene is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of quantitative assay for 1,5-anhydroglucitol which comprises oxidizing 1,5-anhydroglucitol in an aqueous solution of a specimen in the presence of an electron acceptor to produce a compound represented by formula (1) below or a hydrate thereof represented by formula (2) below and quantitatively determining 1,5-anhydroglucitol from a consumption amount of said electron acceptor in said aqueous solution of a specimen or from a production amount of the reduction product of said electron acceptor produced or from an amount of oxidized product of 1,5-AG represented by formula (1) or formula (2).
