Abstract: The object is to provide a method for inducing pili formation in bacterium of genus Bifidobacterium and a method for promoting intestinal colonization of the bacterium. 3-Phenylpropionic acid and/or 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid are an active ingredient of a composition for inducing the pili formation in the bacterium of genus Bifidobacterium and a composition for promoting the intestinal colonization of the bacterium.

Abstract: A catalyst fibrous structure having a catalyst metal carried on a fibrous structure, wherein (a) a Log differential micropore volume distribution curve thereof obtained by measurement using a mercury intrusion technique has a peak having a maximum micropore diameter in the range of from 0.1 ?m to 100 ?m: (b) a Log, differential micropore volume at the peak is 0.5 mL/g or more; and (c) an amount of a catalyst metal compound and a binder carried per unit volume is 0.05 g/mL or more. Also, a production method for producing a catalyst fibrous structure.

Abstract: An electronic device includes first to third terminals and a clip. The clip includes first to third joint portions and a connection portion. The first to third joint portions correspond to and are bonded to the first to third terminals, respectively. The connection portion connects the first to third joint portions. One terminal in the first to third terminals has a depressed portion depressed to one side in a predetermined direction to store a conductive bonding material. A variation in positions of the first to third terminals in the predetermined direction is absorbed by deformation of the conductive bonding material when one joint portion in the first to third joint portions corresponding to the one terminal is bonded to the one terminal through the conductive bonding material.

Abstract: A method for producing a fatty acid ester through desulfurization of sulfur from a fatty acid ester using a catalyst, wherein the catalyst carries a catalyst metal on a support, (a) the catalyst contains as the catalyst metal one or more elements selected from the elements of group 9, group 10 and group 11 of the periodic table, (b) the total pore volume of the catalyst is 0.05 mL/g or more, and (c) the volume of pores with a pore size of 0.1 ?m or more and 500 ?m or less is 50% or more of the total pore volume of the catalyst. A desulfurization method using the desulfurization and a method for producing an alcohol through hydrogenation of the fatty acid ester obtained through the desulfurization are also provided.

Abstract: A process for treating ammonia-containing waste water which comprises subjecting the ammonia-containing waste water to wet oxidation with an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst while maintaining the waste water at a temperature of 100 to 370.degree. C. and at pressure permitting the waste water to remain in the liquid phase, the catalyst comprising at least one of iron, cobalt, nickel, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, iridium, platinum, copper, gold, tungsten and water-insoluble compounds thereof.

Abstract: An apparatus for cooling goods by contacting the goods with low temperature gas while transferring intermittently the goods. The low temperature gas is circulated forcedly in a section while being flowed in a direction reverse to the direction of transferring goods.
