Abstract: A wooden decorative panel has rough texture and non-glossy look of veneer. A wooden decorative panel manufacturing method enables manufacture of the wooden decorative panel with a small material loss. The wooden decorative panel includes a veneer made from natural wood and having a plurality of surface irregularities due to vessels of the wood, and a transfer layer transferred from a transfer film and bonded to a surface of the veneer. The transfer layer has surface irregularities that are similar in shape to the plurality of surface irregularities. The wooden decorative panel has the feel and the appearance of natural veneer due to the irregularities formed by the vessels, and the durability sufficient for use as an industrial product.

Abstract: An object the present invention is to analyze human chromosomes in terms of the presence of a duplication or deletion so as to determine the cause of a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome accompanying mental retardation, to thereby provide a method for determining whether or not a human subject has the syndrome. The present invention includes detecting a hemizygote deletion in the region 10q24.31-10q25.1 of a human chromosome of a human subject, to thereby determine whether or not the subject has a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome accompanying mental retardation. The detection is preferably carried out by hybridizing a reference nucleic acid fragment including a part of the 10q24.31-10q25.1 region with a nucleic acid fragment of a specimen, and detecting a signal attributed to the hemizygote deletion of the 10q24.31-10q25.1 region.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to find a cancer-associated gene to be used as an index for detecting canceration of cells and degree of malignancy of cancer, so as to provide a method for detecting cancer using the cancer-associated gene as an index and provide a method of suppressing/treating cancer using the cancer-associated gene as essential part. According to the present invention, specific genes which are amplified or deleted in gastric carcinoma as compared with normal cell have been collectively found, and a method for detecting cancer using amplification or deletion of these cancer-associated genes as an index is provided. Further, cancer can be suppressed by introducing a gene which is deleted in cancer cells among these cancer-associated genes into cancer and inhibiting the transcription product of the gene amplified.

Abstract: In order to provide a pressure-swing-adsorption oxygen production process which can maintain the product recovery at a high level while enhancing the oxygen productivity and reducing the unit power consumption, a pressure recovery step is carried out in which communication is provided between an outlet end of an adsorption column which has completed an adsorption step and an outlet end of an adsorption column which has completed a regeneration step, and in which gas remaining in the adsorption column which has completed the adsorption step is collected within the adsorption column which has completed the regeneration step; and simultaneously with the pressure recovery step, a gas mixture which has approximately the same composition as feed gas mixture is introduced into at least one of the adsorption column which has completed the adsorption step and the adsorption column which has completed the regeneration step through the inlet end thereof.

Abstract: A pressure swing adsorption process which includes switching a plurality of adsorption columns packed with an adsorbent successively to an adsorption step, a pressure equalization step, an evacuation step, a vacuum purge step, a pressure equalization step and a repressurization step to allow a more strongly adsorbable component gas contained in a gaseous mixture to be adsorbed on the adsorbent and to separate a less strongly adsorbable component gas. The process further includes compressing the thus separated less strongly adsorbable component gas by a product gas compressor to supply it as a product gas.
