Abstract: Provided is a method for reducing the amount of calculation time required for parameter determination, and for reducing the amount of calculation time required for parameter determination in satisfaction with a desired accuracy. The method includes preferentially selecting analysis objects, which are capable of providing parameter determination within a high degree of certainty, and controlling a calculation order of the selected analysis objects using a calculation order list.

Abstract: A metal particle having an organic substance coated thereon, dispersibility that is the same as that of a known metal particle having an organic substance coated thereon, and an improved low temperature connectability. A method for forming interconnect between materials by using the interconnect materials that include a metal particle on which an organic substance is coated, which includes the steps of coating the interconnect materials on subject interconnect materials, and heating the materials at a temperature in the range of 50 to 400° C. for 1 sec to 10 min to form a sintered body made of metal between the subject interconnect materials. The organic substance is a secondary amine having a molecular weight of 250 or less, and the metal particle is made of a unit of silver, copper, or gold, which has a mean diameter of 100 nm or less, or a mixture thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides target proteins and target genes for bioactive substances such as drugs, and means that enable the development of novel bioactive substances using the same. More specifically, the present invention provides target proteins and target genes for bioactive substances; screening methods for substances capable of regulating bioactivities; bioactivity regulators; a bioactive substance derivative production method; a complex comprising a bioactive substance and a target protein, and a method of producing the complex; and kits comprising a bioactive substance or a salt thereof; determination methods for the onset or risk of onset of a specified disease or condition, determination methods for susceptibility to a bioactive substance, and determination kits used for the determination methods, and the like.
