Abstract: To provide a mixture, a dissolving solution and a pharmaceutical agent, which contain a thermophilic microorganism to make it possible to regulate a mucous membrane immune system gene cluster and metabolism-related gene clusters of the intestines and the liver. Each of them is prepared by fermentation of an organic material containing a thermophilic microorganism at a temperature of 50° C. or more and 90° C. or less. By being administered to the animal, it regulates at least one of a mucous membrane immune system gene cluster, a metabolism-related gene cluster in the intestines, and a metabolism-related gene cluster in the liver of the animal. The microorganism includes at least one species of the genus Bacillus, Oceanobacillus, Paenibacillus, Anoxybacillus, Lysinibacillus, Methanopyrus, Geogemma, Pyrolobus, Pyrodictium, Hyperthermus, Pyrococcus, Pyrobaculum, Thermococcus, Aeropyrum, Aquifex, Thermotoga, Thermodesulfobacterium, Thermus, Geobacillus, and Thermomyces.

Abstract: An oxide superconducting tape comprised of a substrate on which a GdBa2Cu3O7-? (?=0 to 1) superconductor layer is formed, characterized in that, inside of said superconductor layer, columnar or rod-shaped BaZrO3 crystals are dispersed such that they are inclined from c-axis of the superconducting crystals and that BaZrO3 crystals adjacent in longitudinal directions are in a skew position.

Abstract: A low-loss oxide superconducting wire using a reversible phenomenon is disclosed. The oxide superconducting wire is formed with a metal-coated multi-filamentary superconductor having a plurality of superconducting filaments in a matrix, in which d≦2 &mgr;m  (1), and d/(2&lgr;0′)≦1  (2), where d represents the size of the superconducting filament, and &lgr;0′ represents penetration depth of Campbell's a.c. magnetic field.

Abstract: A roll-changing apparatus for use with a rolling machine including a roll-changing truck, a roll-exchanging truck, a roll-setting truck and a roll rack facility which are used to transport sets of rolls in conjunction with one or more racks having vertically spaced-apart sets of rails for supporting and transferring the rolls. The rolls can be transferred by sliding them between individual racks mounted on each of the roll-changing truck, the roll-exchanging truck and the roll rack facility or a single rack can be rolled from the roll rack facility to the roll-exchanging truck and then to the roll-changing truck for transferring the rolls to and from the rolling machine. The roll-setting truck includes a set of vertically movable rails for aligning with a respective set of rails of a rack mounted on the roll rack facility. The roll rack facility includes a plurality of racks, each of which holds a set of used or reconditioned rolls.
