Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of directing the evolution of an organism by modifying the mutation rate of an organism. The increase in genetic diversity may be used to facilitate the selection of a desired hereditary trait in an organism.

Abstract: To find a triphenylbenzene derivative suitable for a wide-gap material which allows blue luminescence excellent in color purity, and provide an organic EL element using the same. The organic EL element having one or a plurality of organic layers including a light emitting layer between a pair of electrodes is arranged such that at least one layer of the above-mentioned organic layers contains a compound as expressed by the following general formula (1) independently or as a mixture, where R1-R21 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an alkoxy group, a cycloalkoxy group, an aryloxy group, and an alkylsilyl group. Each of Ar1-Ar3 is A or B independently, and at least one of them is A. X indicates a bond part with respect to a central benzene ring and is bonded in a meta position with respect to the central benzene ring.

Abstract: A diamond scriber is ground at an angle from a tip face toward a ridgeline. Because of this, chipping is less liable to occur, even during high-load scribing of sapphire substrates of 100 ?m or greater thickness, or of substrates that have been chemically polished; further, a cutting edge of the diamond scriber has superior resistance to wear out. Accordingly, there can be provided the diamond scriber suited to substrates that must be inscribed at a high load, such as sapphire substrates of 100 ?m thickness or more or sapphire substrates chemically polished.

Abstract: A system includes a computer main body, and an expansion unit detachably connected to the computer main body, for supplying a power to the computer main body and expanding a function of the computer. A power in the expansion unit is consumed in the expansion unit prior to power supply to the computer main body so as to stably supply a power to circuit components of the expansion unit. The expansion unit includes an expansion connector to which at least one expansion board is arbitrarily detachably connected, a power supply for supplying the power to the circuit components including the expansion circuit boards and to the computer main body, and a switch for detecting a power supplied from the power supply to the circuit components and stopping power supply to the computer main body by the power supply when the power exceeds a predetermined value.
