Abstract: A processing condition selecting apparatus, a processing condition selecting method, and a storage medium storing a program therein serve to evaluate the production aptitude of a print under a signal processing condition, based on image forming information with respect to the print and prescribed evaluation criteria, to thereby generate a display image visually representing the production aptitude of the print that has been evaluated.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to: a conductive sheet, a touch panel, a display device, a method for producing the conductive sheet, and a recording medium. In the present invention, the relative refractive index of a substrate with respect to a first protective layer, and/or the relative refractive index of the substrate with respect to a second protective layer is 0.86-1.15. The relative refractive index of a first substrate with respect to the first protective layer, and/or the relative refractive index of a second substrate with respect to the second protective layer is 0.86-1.15.

Abstract: There is provided a medium for plant cultivation comprising an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer chip. An ethylene content of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer included in the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer chip is preferably 20 to 60 mol %. In addition, a water content in the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer chip is preferably 20 to 300 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer. As a result, it is possible to provide a medium for plant cultivation, which is capable of being used instead of the soil or rock wools, and with which it is possible to sufficiently grow crop plants, to have excellent recyclability, to facilitate a process for disposal the medium, and to have a small environmental burden.

Abstract: The method of manufacturing a conductive sheet of the present invention is provided with: a creation step for creating image data that indicates a meshed pattern; and an outputting step for outputting and forming wire materials on a base body on the basis of the created image data, and manufacturing a conductive sheet having the meshed pattern. The image data has, in convolution integration of a power spectrum of the image data and standard vision responsiveness of human beings, a characteristic of having each of the integration values at a spatial frequency band that is not less than 1/4 and not more than 1/2 of a Nyquist frequency corresponding to the image data to be greater than integration values at a null-space frequency.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a conductive film in which a mesh pattern comprising a wire material is provided on a base material. Also disclosed are a conductive film and a recording medium. Image data representing a mesh pattern is created on the basis of a plurality of selected positions. On the basis of said image data, an evaluation value which quantifies noise characteristics of the mesh pattern is computed. On the basis of the computed evaluation value and prescribed evaluation conditions, one image datum is chosen as an output image datum.

Abstract: The present invention provides an ethylene-vinyl alcohol based copolymer (EVOH) having fundamentally improved thermal stability. The EVOH is characterized in that the proportion of ethylene units (III) is from 20 to 60 mole % with respect to the total (III+IV+V) of ethylene units (III), vinyl alcohol units (IV), and vinyl ester units (V), and the proportion of the total (I+II) of carboxylic acids units (I) and lactone ring units (II) in copolymer terminals with respect to the total (III+IV+V) is 0.12 mole % or less. The EVOH can be obtained by, for example, contacting a reducing agent with an ethylene-vinyl ester based copolymer before saponification and/or EVOH after saponification.
