摘要:
An object of the present invention is to develop a biomarker for discriminating dementia, particularly, Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment which can progress to Alzheimer's disease, from other central nervous system diseases, or capable of determining a pathological condition of dementia, and provide a method for diagnosing dementia early and a method for determining a pathological condition of dementia, using the biomarker. A transferrin glycoprotein containing a glycan having at least one mannose at a non-reducing end or a transferrin fragment containing the glycan is used as a diagnostic marker for Alzheimer's disease.

An electric double layer capacitor 200 is configured such that a positive electrode 206, a separator 205, and a negative electrode 207 stacked in this order are contained in a container, and a portion between the positive electrode 206 and the negative electrode 207 is filled with an electrolytic solution. A polar plate of one or each of the positive electrode 206 and the negative electrode 207 includes a current collector 201, 203 and a plurality of electrically-conductive fine fibers 202, 204 formed and standing on a surface of the current collector such that one end of each of the fine fibers is electrically connected to the surface of the current collector. A surface of the polar plate is covered with the separator 205, the surface corresponding to the surface of the current collector. The polar plate and the separator 205 are pressure bonded to be integrated with each other. In the electric double layer capacitor using the electrically-conductive fine fiber, such as a carbon nanotube, as an active material, energy density can be increased by densely compressing the active material.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method of starting and stopping a gas turbine and a start-and-stop control device, which are capable of solving a problem of a failure in normally igniting a fuel gas due to a purge gas (nitrogen gas) remaining in a fuel gas pipe and thereby igniting the fuel gas stably. For this purpose, the start-and-stop control device performs control at the time of starting the gas turbine by sequentially performing: first exhaust gas duct purge for pushing out a fuel gas remaining in an exhaust gas duct with compressed air from a compressor; fuel gas pipe purge for pushing out nitrogen gas remaining in a fuel gas pipe between a fuel gas shutoff valve and a combustor at the time of stopping the gas turbine by the fuel gas by opening a fuel gas shutoff valve; and second exhaust gas duct purge for pushing out the fuel gas remaining in the exhaust gas duct at the time of the fuel gas pipe purge by the compressed air from the compressor, and then the fuel gas is supplied to the combustor by opening the fuel gas shutoff valve again and ignited.

Provided are a substrate on which carbon nanotubes each having one end connected to the substrate can be formed at a high synthetic rate and from which the carbon nanotubes are less likely to be peeled off. The substrate is a substrate for forming the carbon nanotubes and includes a buffer layer 13 formed on at least one of surfaces of a substrate main body 14 and containing aluminum atoms and fluorine atoms. The carbon nanotube complex includes the substrate and a plurality of carbon nanotubes 11 each having one end connected to a surface of the buffer layer 13.

Introduction service is supported, in order to activate and facilitate community activities. A community management center 1 searches for offered-service information that matches at least partly with an application designated by a coordinator terminal 2, and selects participants specified by detected offered-service information, as introduction candidates. Then, an introduction candidate list that describes private information, desired terms, and possessed value of ticket for each of the selected introduction candidates is displayed on a coordinator terminal 2. When the coordinator terminal 2 selects a participant to be introduced to the applicant, out of the introduction candidates described in the introduction candidate list, then, the private information and the desired terms of selected participant is displayed on a participant terminal 3 of the applicant.

摘要:
An integrated circuit includes a trimming signal creating section, disposed downstream of a trimming circuit in which a number of fuses are arranged in alignment, creating a trimming signal corresponding to the trimming value on the basis of a signal output from said trimming circuit and arranges blown object fuses such that every two of the blown object fuses are interposed at least one un-blown fuses in the trimming circuit. An efficient arrangement of blowing points in addition to the above arrangement of blown object fuses can reduce the area occupied by the trimming circuit.
