Abstract: A vehicle control device that controls a vehicle is configured to execute rotation speed control when the vehicle is in series traveling, in which a rotation speed of the internal combustion engine is increased to a first rotation speed in accordance with an increase in a speed of the vehicle, and when the rotation speed of the internal combustion engine reaches the first rotation speed, the rotation speed of the internal combustion engine is decreased to a second rotation speed lower than the first rotation speed; and restrict execution of the rotation speed control when receiving a predetermined operation.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for diagnosing cancer comprising a step of detecting active protein kinase C? in urine.

Abstract: Provided is a means for predicting a therapeutic effect of BCG intravesical infusion therapy in treating bladder cancer, in particular, resistance to BCG intravesical infusion therapy in treating bladder cancer and/or possibility of relapse after BCG intravesical infusion therapy in treating bladder cancer. The method for predicting a therapeutic effect of BCG intravesical infusion therapy in treating bladder cancer comprises: a step of detecting presence or absence of two or more single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), wherein the method comprises predicting resistance to BCG intravesical infusion therapy in treating bladder cancer and/or predicting possibility of relapse after BCG intravesical infusion therapy in treating bladder cancer.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an improved Fe—Ni alloy consisting of 33-37% Ni; 0.001-0.1% Mn; optionally, 0.01-2% Co; and at least one of (1) 0.01-0.8% Nb; (2) 0.01-0.8% Ta; and/or (3) 0.01-0.8% Hf, with the total of Nb, Ta and Hf being in the range of 0.01-0.8% and the remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities. The method comprises subjecting the alloy to a hot rolling process wherein the rate of distortion during each pass of hot rolling is below 70/second resulting in the alloy having a reduced rate of crack formation during the hot rolling process, and high drop-shock resistance and low thermal expansion after the hot rolling process.
