Abstract: Provided herein are methods for promoting biostasis or preservation of a cell, tissue or organ during cancer treatment or for transplantation comprising contacting the cell, tissue or organ with an agonist of the ?-opioid receptor, SNC-80, an or Donepezil. Further provided herein is a method of treating a hematological neoplastic disease.

Abstract: A vehicle display device provided in a vehicle includes a display 33 and a controller. The controller displays a video showing a side view and a rear view from a vehicle 1 on the display 33 when a passenger gets out of the vehicle 1 while the vehicle 1 is stopped.

Abstract: A system capable of automatically generating an answer in response to a query or an instruction such as a letter writing instruction input to the system in the form of a natural language. The system understands the goal of the natural language input and retrieves information from knowledge bases to formulate a plan and an action for achieving the goal.

Abstract: p-Toluic acid and alkylene oxide are produced simultaneously in high yields by epoxidizing a lower olefin such as ethylene or propylene with per-p-toluic acid in the presence of 10 to 1,000 ppm by weight, preferably 50 to 500 ppm by weight of at least one of 8-hydroxyquinoline, dipicolinic acid, and pyridine-2,6-dimethanol, as a stabilizer for peracid at a reaction temperature of 30.degree. to 120.degree. C., preferably 40.degree. to 100.degree. C. Per-p-toluic acid is in the form of a solution containing 10 to 50% by weight of per-p-toluic acid.

Abstract: P-Tolualdehyde freed from reaction-inhibiting substances is autooxidized by a gas containing molecular oxygen in an aliphatic ketone or fatty acid ester solvent under pressure in the absence of catalyst to produce per-p-toluic acid. The resulting per-p-toluic acid is brought into contact with a lower olefin in the absence of catalyst to produce p-toluic acid and an alkylene oxide at the same time, or said per-p-toluic acid is reacted with allyl alcohol to produce glycidol and p-toluic acid at the same time, and further the resulting glycidol is hydrolyzed to produce glycerin, or said per-p-toluic acid is reacted with methanol in the presence of an esterification catalyst to produce hydrogen peroxide and methyl p-toluate at the same time. The foregoing reactions can be carried out easily and safely in simple processes in high yields.
