Abstract: A non-destructive inspection device includes a neutron generation portion, a neutron shield portion, a gamma ray detector, and a gamma ray shield portion. The neutron generation portion emits neutrons spontaneously, or emits neutrons by DD nuclear fusion reaction or DT nuclear fusion reaction. The neutron shield portion is covers the neutron generation portion from at least an area around the neutron generation portion and thereby shields the neutrons at the area, and allows the neutrons to be emitted to a front side of the neutron generation portion. The gamma ray detector detects gamma rays generated in an inspection object on a front side of the neutron generation portion. The gamma rays are generated by the neutrons incident on the inspection object. The neutron shield portion, the gamma ray shield portion, and the gamma ray detector are arranged in this order in alignment with each other in a lateral direction.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide, for example, a more practical wound healing accelerator that more effectively accelerates wound healing. More specifically, a feature of the present invention is to provide, for example, a more practical wound healing accelerator that is easily obtained in a larger amount than that of peripheral blood platelet and has a better wound healing effect than that of peripheral blood platelet. The present invention employs a platelet-like cell population coexpressing one or more platelet surface markers and one or more mesenchymal cell surface markers. A wound healing accelerator containing the platelet-like cell population is a more practical wound healing accelerator that more effectively accelerates wound healing. The platelet-like cell population is easily obtained in a larger amount than that of peripheral blood platelet and has a better wound healing effect than that of peripheral blood platelet.

Abstract: A method for producing a mesenchymal cell line derived from a vertebrate adipose tissue, and a mesenchymal cell line derived from a vertebrate adipose tissue produced by the method. Advantageously, a method for producing a mesenchymal cell line derived from a vertebrate adipose tissue is achieved more simply, in a shorter period of time, and more efficiently. Also, a mesenchymal cell line is derived from a vertebrate adipose tissue produced by the production method. The method for producing a mesenchymal cell line derived from a vertebrate adipose tissue comprises: (A) inducing differentiation of one or more cells selected from a stromal vascular fraction comprising a mesenchymal stem cell, an adipose progenitor cell, and a stromal cell of a vertebrate adipose tissue into a mature adipocyte; and (B) inducing dedifferentiation of the mature adipocyte obtained in step (A) to obtain a mesenchymal cell line derived from the vertebrate adipose tissue.

Abstract: An oscillator and a semiconductor integrated circuit device with an internal oscillator capable of compensating the temperature characteristics even when there is a large parasitic capacitance too large to ignore directly between the output terminals of the oscillator. In an oscillator containing an inductance element L, and a capacitive element C, and an amplifier each coupled in parallel across a first and second terminal, the amplifier amplifies the resonance generated by the inductance element and capacitive element and issues an output from the first terminal and the second terminal, and in which a first resistance element with a larger resistance value than the parasitic resistance of the inductance element between the first terminal and the second terminal, is coupled in serial with the capacitive element between the first terminal and the second terminal.
