Abstract: A contact lens package includes a silicone hydrogel contact lens, a packaging container composed of a polypropylene, and a packaging solution containing a nonionic surfactant, the nonionic surfactant including a linear alkyl moiety having 12 or more carbon atoms and an oxyethylene moiety, the average addition mole number of oxyethylene being 30 or more per mole of the nonionic surfactant.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a biomarker capable of determining the onset risk or the stage of diabetic nephropathy (early-stage diabetic nephropathy in particular). Diabetic nephropathy is determined by measuring or quantitatively determining a concentration of phenyl sulfate or a salt thereof (a phenyl sulfate) contained in a biological sample, preferably plasma or urine, collected from a test subject to detect a phenyl sulfate. The present invention exhibits excellent effects particularly for stage determination for stage 1 (pre-nephropathy stage) to stage 3 (overt nephropathy stage), or for determination of onset risk of diabetic nephropathy (diabetic nephropathy at pre-nephropathy stage).

Abstract: As a technique for attaining a reduction in power consumption, there is a technique for reducing power consumption using a spin wave. No specific proposal concerning spin wave generation, spin wave detection, and a latch technique for information has been made. A device applies an electric field to a first electrode of a nonmagnetic material using a thin line-shaped stacked body including a first ferromagnetic layer and a nonmagnetic layer to thereby generate a spin wave in the first ferromagnetic layer, and detects a phase or amplitude of the spin wave propagated in the first ferromagnetic layer using a second electrode of a ferromagnetic material with a magnetoresistance effect.
