Abstract: Provided are a resin additive composition which is excellent in fluidity and can impart excellent physical properties to a thermoplastic resin, a thermoplastic resin composition, and a molded article thereof. A resin additive composition is composed of a phosphoric acid ester compound (A) represented by the following general formula (1): (in the formula (1), R1 to R4 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 9 carbon atoms, and R5 represents an alkylidene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms) and a fatty acid sodium salt (B) represented by the following general formula (2): (in the formula (2), R6 represents a group introduced from an aliphatic organic acid having 7 to 30 carbon atoms), and the mass ratio of (B)/(A) is 0.55 to 2.0.

Abstract: A game is provided that enables a game element to be raised through an intuitive operation input. A game device includes components collectively configured to: execute processing related to the raising game; display the game element; accept an operation input related to raising of the game element; manage the raising phases of the game element; and determine, when a condition for changing from a first raising phase to a second raising phase in the raising game is satisfied, one of branched growing states of the game element related to the second raising phase, in accordance with an operation input related to the raising performed prior to satisfaction of the change condition. The operation input related to the raising includes a first operation input not involving selection of a selection item related to the raising.

Abstract: There is provided a game device for providing a play experience of a first game in which a first-type game element appears, the game device including a performing unit, an operation unit, a communication unit, and a control unit. The performing unit performs a process concerning the first game. The operation unit accepts an input operation for an operation target game element that is the first-type game element appearing in the first game. The communication unit is configured so as to be capable of transmitting and receiving information concerning the operation target game element between the game device and a same-type game device and between the game device and a first communication terminal capable of providing a play experience of a second game using the first-type game element. The control unit controls the communication unit.

Abstract: A process for producing a pyrophosphate, particularly melamine pyrophosphate useful as a flame retardant, efficiently in high yield is provided. The process includes firing an orthophosphate, preferably melamine orthophosphate, in the presence of a silicone oil, preferably methylphenyl silicone oil preferably at 120° to 350° C. Examples of useful firing equipment include a hot air dryer, a kneader, a Henschel mixture, a fluidized bed dryer, a rotary kiln, a paddle dryer, an extruder, a vibrating dryer, a far-infrared conveyor furnace, and a microwave firing furnace.

Abstract: Disclosed is a flame retardant composition that has excellent heat resistance and in which the risk of corroding processing machines at the time of compounding resin is reduced. The flame retardant composition includes 20 to 50 parts by mass of component (A) described below, 50 to 80 parts by mass of component (B) described below (the total of the component (A) and the component (B) is 100 parts by mass), and 0.01 to 5 parts by mass of component (C) described below: component (A): at least one type of melamine salt selected from melamine orthophosphate, melamine pyrophosphate, melamine polyphosphate, or a mixture including two or more types of the melamine salts; component (B): at least one type of piperazine salt selected from piperazine orthophosphate, piperazine pyrophosphate, piperazine polyphosphate, or a mixture including two or more types of the piperazine salts; and component (C): a hydrotalcite compound.
