摘要:
The present invention provides a novel yeast strain capable of producing ethanol through fermentation with a high degree of efficiency at a temperature of 37° C. or higher, preferably a temperature ranging from 40 to 49° C. or higher, and also a method for producing ethanol by utilizing the yeast strain, and further, ethanol produced by the method. Therefore, in the present invention, an yeast strain (Deposit No. NITE BP-283, etc) belonging to species Kluyveromyces marxianus isolated by a screening step using a culture medium containing sugar in a high concentration and ethanol, is cultured in a culture solution supplemented with 10 to 100 mM of sorbitol at 40 to 49° C.

An optically active compound which itself generally exhibits no antiferroelectric liquid crystal phase, but which can be added to an antiferroelectric liquid crystal or composition thereof having a high threshold voltage to reduce the threshold voltage of the resulting composition. Also disclosed is an antiferroelectric liquid crystal composition containing the optically active compound, a process for reducing the threshold voltage of an antiferroelectric liquid crystal composition, a process for producing the optically active compound, and a process for producing an optically active carboxylic acid as an intermediate.

An object of the present invention is to provide a very thin heat exchanging fin, having collars with tough flanges that are not deformed when the heat exchanging tubes are integrated therewith. The heat exchanging fin includes: a plate section having a plurality of through-holes through which a heat exchanging tube will be pierced; and a plurality of collars having a prescribed height, each of the collars extending from an edge of each of the through-holes and having a flange at a front end, characterized in: that an inner face of each collar is formed perpendicular to the plate section; and that thickness of a base end part of each of the collars, which is connected to the plate section, is thicker than that of a middle part thereof. With this structure, the strength of the base end part of the collars can be greater even if the collars are made higher and thinner. The deformation of the collars can be prevented when the heat exchanging tubes are pierced and integrated with the collars.
摘要:
A method of doing medical treatment to a patient includes applying high-frequency wave current to a reactive electro-permeable point of a patient for a predtermined time and is implemented such that one of two electrodes is contacted with an acupuncture needle inserted at a reactive electro-permeable point while the other electrode is attached on a portion of the patient relatively near the one electrode, and high-frequency wave current is then flowed between the electrodes. The method further includes searching objective reactive electro-permeable points.
摘要:
An optically active compound represented by formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents an alkyl group having from 3 to 9 carbon atoms; R.sup.2 represents an alkyl group having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms; m and n each represent 1 or 2 provided that they do not simultaneously represent 1; and C.sup.*1 and C.sup.*2, both represent an optically active carbon atom, and a liquid crystal composition containing the same are disclosed. The compound exhibits chiral nematic and smectic phases and are excellent as a chiral dopant for ferroelectric liquid crystal compositions or nematic liquid crystal compositions.
摘要:
An oxidation-resistant sialon material and an oxidation-resistant silicon carbide material each containing a phase of closely packed crystals in the surface region are produced by coating a sialon substrate and a silicon carbide substrate with a layer of an alkali metal compound and a layer of a mixture of an alkali metal compound and a carbonaceous substance respectively, firing the resultant coated substrate at a temperature in the range of 800.degree. to 1,300.degree. C. thereby forming an alkali metal-containing vitreous coating layer on each substrate, and thereafter removing the each coating layer.
摘要:
Waste synthetic high polymer, especially those containing polyvinyl chloride and the like chlorine-containing synthetic resins are heated at 200.degree.-500.degree.C to thereby form a hot molten bath of fusible materials contained in the waste resin mixture and the chlorine-containing resins are effectively decomposed in the molten bath kept at the temperature of 200.degree.-500.degree.C with the generation of hydrogen chloride gas which can be recovered as hydrochloric acid.
