Abstract: Gamma rays obtained from radioisotope administered to an examinee are detected by a gamma ray information-detecting unit so that a first tomographic image obtained therefrom is formed on a CRT. Further, a second tomographic image of the examinee detected by using an ultrasonic wave information-detecting unit juxtaposed with respect to the gamma ray information-detecting unit is formed while making the second tomographic image overlap on the first tomographic image. Thus, it is possible to obtain a tomographic image in which relative positional relationship of tissue is clear.

Abstract: A small-size gamma camera is capable of reliably and quickly detecting the accumulated position of a radiation source in an examinee. When the examinee is scanned with the gamma camera which has an area sensor comprising 256 (16×16) semiconductor detecting elements, display elements of a display unit on a rear panel of the gamma camera are turned on to display a pattern indicative of the accumulated position of the radiation source. According to the displayed pattern on the display elements, the operator of the gamma camera moves the gamma camera to detect the accumulated position of the radiation source reliably within a short period of time.

Abstract: A process for producing a 2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy) propionate derivative represented by the formula: ##STR1## where Alk is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkyl group, which comprises reacting a phenoxy propionate derivative represented by the formula: ##STR2## where Alk is as defined above, with a peroxide to obtain a formate derivative represented by the formula: ##STR3## where Alk is as defined above, and hydrolyzing the formate of the formula III.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved process for preparing di-lower alkyl naphthalenedisulfonyl by employing a naphthalenedisulfonate chloride and a stoichiometrically excess amount of an aliphatic alcohol and allowing them to react in the presence of an aqueous solution of an alkali. The improved process comprises treating the reaction product from said process with an alkali metal alcoholate and then washing the thus treated reaction product with water to obtain a highly pure product. Also disclosed is a process of limiting the formation of undesirable impurities arising from the reaction of said naphthalenedisulfonyl chloride and said aliphatic alcohol.

Abstract: Linalool is produced by a hydrogenation of O-linalyl-N,N-dimethyl hydroxylamine having the formula ##STR1## wherein Me represents methyl group and the reference numerals 1 to 10 represent 1 to 10 carbon positions under a hydrogen partial pressure of lower than 30 Kg/cm.sup.2 in the presence of a catalyst of a combination of Ni or Co component with a modifying component selected from the group consisting of Al, Ge, Sn, As, Sb, S, Se and Cr.

Abstract: 3,7-Dimethyl-2,6-octadienylamine derivatives are produced by reacting isoprene with a secondary amine in the presence of a catalyst prepared by reacting a secondary amine, a conjugated diene and/or a polycyclic aromatic compound, a lithium salt and sodium and/or potassium metal.

Abstract: A chain terpene alcohol having the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are the same or different and respectively represent hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group is produced by oxidizing a chain unsaturated amine having the formula ##STR2## wherein R.sup.3 represents an alkyl group and heating the product for a thermal rearrangement to form a chain unsaturated hydroxylamine having the formula ##STR3## and then reducing the chain unsaturated hydroxylamine with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst selected from the group consisting of iron family elements, copper family elements, oxides thereof and copper chromite.

Abstract: Myrcene is produced in a process comprising dimerizing isoprene in a solvent of a cyclic ether, N-alkylmorpholine or mixtures thereof, with 0.5 - 20 mole% of an alkali metal catalyst and 1 - 20 mole% of a primary or secondary amine having branched-chain hydrocarbon residual groups, wherein the mole percentages are based on the amount of isoprene.
