Abstract: This invention relates to a catalyst for oxygenate synthesis to use for synthesizing an oxygenate from mixed gas containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide, the catalyst comprising, an (A) component: rhodium, a (B) component: manganese, a (C) component: an alkali metal, and a (Z) component: magnesium oxide.

Abstract: The present invention provides a resin composition which can be molded easily and from which can be obtained synthetic resin molded articles superior in mechanical strength such as modulus of tensile elasticity, appearance such as surface smoothness, and dimensional stability. Since the resin composition of the present invention is characterized by containing a synthetic resin and a flaked graphite that is a laminate of graphene sheets the number of which is 150 or less and that has an aspect ratio of 20 or more, it is superior in moldability and synthetic resin molded articles with desired shapes can be produced therefrom by a widely used molding method.

Abstract: A laminate for a laminated glass which is used as a head-up display (HUD) and is not deteriorated even if exposed to light, and with which a laminated glass having excellent impact resistance can be prepared, wherein an interlayer film for a laminated glass and a retardation element sandwiched between adhesive layers are laminated, the interlayer film for a laminated glass contains a thermoplastic resin and an ultraviolet absorber, the interlayer film for a laminated glass contains, as the ultraviolet absorber, a benzotriazole compound or a benzophenone compound, and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a malonic ester compound, an oxanilide compound and a triazine compound.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile pipe lining apparatus for installing strip lining material into a host pipe. The apparatus comprises a lining machine for receiving a feed of strip lining material and placing it in a host pipe to form a new pipe lining, a carriage attached to the lining machine such that the full weight of the lining machine is borne by the carriage, and adjusting means for adjusting a position of the lining machine relative to the carriage.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide an allergen suppressor exerting an effect of suppressing an allergen under humidities normally used, and an allergen-suppression processed fiber, which can suppress an allergen adhering to fibers automatically without applying an allergen-suppression process and a method of producing the same. That is, the present invention is an allergen suppressor, which contains a hydrophilic polymer and a component suppressing an allergen.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to a method whereby a humoral immune response is induced more efficiently in producing an antibody against an antigen protein by gene immunization. A fusion gene composed of a gene encoding the full-length of a part of the antigen protein or a gene encoding a chaperonin subunit or a chaperonin subunit linkage linked thereto is administered to express the fusion gene in the animal, thereby inducing a humoral immune response to an antigen protein by administering. An example of the chaperonin includes Escherichia coli GroEL. There is also provided with a composition for immunization, a method for producing an antibody, a method for producing a hybridoma, and a method for producing a monoclonal antibody.

Abstract: A layer of a first fluid and a layer of a second fluid are provided on a first area of a support plate of an electrowetting device, the first fluid and the second fluid being immiscible and the first area having a higher wettability for the first fluid than for the second fluid. The method includes providing an emulsion of dispersed first fluid and continuous second fluid; bringing the first area and the emulsion in contact; the dispersed first fluid coalescing to form the layer of the first fluid on the first area. Also described are an emulsion for manufacturing an electrowetting device, a method for manufacturing an emulsion, a device, a non-ionic surfactant and a use of a non-ionic surfactant.
