Abstract: The present invention provides a method of screening genes based on expression information differing from gene expression information obtainable by DNA chip/DNA microarray techniques. The method of screening genes comprises performing in situ hybridization in respect of a tissue or cell sample from an organism using a probe which specifically hybridizes with mRNA and/or expression sequence tag being a product of gene expression, and examining localization of the mRNA and/or expression sequence tag in the tissue or cell.

Abstract: A photo-curable resin composition comprising (A) an organosiloxane-bearing polymer comprising recurring units of formula (1): wherein R1 to R4 are monovalent C1-C8 hydrocarbon, n is an integer of 1-1,000, and X is and having a Mw of 500-200,000, (B) a formalin-modified or formalin-alcohol-modified amino condensate, a phenol compound having on the average at least two methylol or alkoxymethylol radicals, or an epoxy compound having on the average at least two epoxy radicals, (C) a photoacid generator, and (D) a silicon compound of the formula: (R11)mSi(OR12)4?m wherein R11 is monovalent C1-C9 hydrocarbon, R12 is C1-C4 alkyl, m is 0-2, forms cured pattern films having dry etch resistance and improved adhesion to substrates.

Abstract: An organosiloxane polymer comprising recurring units of the general formula (1) and having a weight average molecular weight of 1,000-500,000 is novel. R1 to R4 are monovalent hydrocarbon groups, n is an integer of 1-2,000, X has a structure of the formula: and R5 is an acrylic functional organic group of the formula: wherein R? is H or methyl and R? is a divalent hydrocarbon group. A photo-curable resin composition comprising the organosiloxane polymer and a sensitizer can be cured with a wide wavelength range of light.

Abstract: The present invention provides an adhesive sheet which exhibits bonding strength without formation of lifting even in a curved section and excels in heat resistance. The multi-layered adhesive sheet includes a metal sheet and at least two thermosetting resin layers having different functions on at least one side of the metal sheet.

Abstract: A novel organosiloxane polymer is obtained by addition reaction of an organohydrogenpolysiloxane, an alkenyl-containing organopolysiloxane and an unsaturated compound of formula (3) or (4). Using the organosiloxane polymer, a photo-curable resin composition is prepared which can be exposed to radiation having a wide range of wavelength and developed to form a pattern.

Abstract: The invention discloses a novel method for dry cleaning of a fabric material characterized by the use of a unique dry cleaning solvent which is a tris(trimethylsiloxy) silane compound represented by the general formula of RSi(—O—SiMe3)3, in which Me is a methyl group and R is a monovalent hydrocarbon group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms or, preferably, a methyl group, or a mixture thereof with a petroleum-based hydrocarbon solvent in a limited proportion. In addition to the excellent effect of dry cleaning equivalent to that of conventional dry cleaning solvents and little unpleasant smell remaining on the fabric material, the solvent used in the inventive method is little liable for the problems of environmental pollution against public and workers' health and the problem of ozone layer destruction in the aerosphere due to emission of vapors of halogenated hydrocarbon solvents can be solved by the inventive method.

Abstract: An epoxy resin composition comprising (i) a compound having at least two epoxy groups in a molecule as a main component, (ii) a fluorene skeleton-bearing, silicone-modified phenolic resin as a curing agent, and (iii) an organophosphorus compound, amine compound or imidazole compound as a cure accelerator cures into an elastomeric product having a low elasticity, toughness and low dielectric properties.
