Abstract: Disclosed is a molding material for extrusion foam molding from which woody molded foam of high quality can be obtained. From the molding material, woody molded foam of high quality with no defects is efficiently produced. Constituent materials comprising woodmeal and a thermoplastic resin as major components and containing 1-5 wt % alkane having a molecular weight of 300-1,000 g/mol are melt-kneaded until the components come into an evenly dispersed state, and the resultant mixture is molded into pellets having a given diameter to obtain a molding material. Subsequently, this molding material is extrusion-molded into a given shape together with a blowing agent by means of an extrusion molding device, thereby obtaining woody molded foam.

Abstract: Provided is an inorganic-particle-dispersed sputtering target in which inorganic particles are dispersed in a Co base material, wherein the inorganic particles have an electric resistivity of 1×101 ?·m or less and the volume ratio of the inorganic particles in the target is 50% or less.

Abstract: A resin cultivating base serves as seedling beds for vegetation which are planted and are partially immersed in a river, lake, marsh, pond or waterway. The resin cultivating base is a three-dimensional structure constituted by long and short filaments of thermoplastic resin. The long and short filaments are curled or looped at random, and contacted, entwined and gathered, thereby forming a low density portion and a high density portion. Vegetables planted on the low density portion of the resin cultivating base suck nutritious salt such as phosphor and nitride. Microorganisms living in the resin cultivating base decompose organisms in the water, thereby purifying the water.

Abstract: In a step S1, when the user executes a tuning operation (a service-number input operation) on an input section, the information is output to a control section. In a step S3, the control section determines whether the service number selected in the step S1 corresponds to a promotion channel. When it is determined that the service number corresponds to a promotion channel, the procedure proceeds to a step S11. In the step S11, the control section displays on the monitor a message indicating that the selected service number is not found.
