A gas pressure vessel capable of performing processing of removing wrinkles on an inner surface of a dome part and preventing cracking starting from a root of a thread of a neck part is provided. In a gas pressure vessel according to one embodiment, a dome part () has an opening whose diameter is 90 mm or greater, and the innermost root of the thread in a female thread part () into which a lid () is screwed is provided inside an imaginary plane (B) formed by extending an outer surface of the dome part () toward an opening.

Gas pressure vessel

The present invention relates to a method for simply diagnosing the progress of disease condition of a Parkinson's disease patient. Provided are a method for determining Parkinson's disease using the number of one or more intestinal bacteria selected from the group consisting ofgroup,, andsubgroup and/or the total number of intestinal bacteria as a marker, and a method for determining Parkinson's disease using the blood LPS level and/or the blood LBP level of a Parkinson's disease patient as an indicator.

Marker and method for determination of Parkinson's disease

A marker for determining a mental disease is provided. The marker can be used in an objective diagnosis of such a mental disease. The marker contains one or more enterobacteria ofsubgroup,subgroup,cluster,group,group,subgroup,, and

Biomarker for mental disease

A pressure vessel () is provided with: a cylinder part () that defines a pressure chamber (); a screwing part () that is disposed inside at least one of the two ends of the cylinder part; a lid () that has a pressure-receiving surface (A) facing the pressure chamber and that is disposed at a position closer to the pressure chamber than is the screwing part; and a reinforcing ring () that is fitted to the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder part. The reinforcing ring covers, along the axial direction of the cylinder part, a part on an outer circumferential surface (F) corresponding to a portion or the entirety of the engaging portion () between the cylinder part and the screwing part.

Pressure vessel

The present invention enables quick cooling of steam-treated objects and thus reduces the manufacturing time of steam-treated products such as black coated steel sheets. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing steam-treated products, which involves a steam treatment step that introduces steam into a closed container () containing a treatment object () and brings the treatment object () into contact with the steam, and a treated object cooling step that cools the object () treated with steam in the steam treatment step, wherein said treated object cooling step introduces coolant gas into said closed container (), brings said treated object () into contact with the coolant gas, and discharges the introduced coolant gas from said closed container ().

Method and device for manufacturing steam-treated products

An accumulator vessel () includes a screwable portion () and a lid portion () that is positioned at an axially inner side of the screwable portion and an axially inner surface configures a pressure bearing plane. The lid portion includes a protruding portion () extending axially outward on an inner circumferential side, and the protruding portion configured to abut against an axially inner end side of the screwable portion to separate an axially inner surface of the screwable portion on an outer circumferential side thereof apart from an axially outer surface of the lid portion on an outer circumferential side thereof.

Pressure accumulation container

Disclosed herein is a method for determining whether a test subject has equol-producing ability or not. The method involves measuring equol-producing ability of a test subject, wherein an equol converting enzyme gene derived from enteric bacteria of the test subject is detected using three types of primer sets described herein as the primer sets a) to c).

Method for measuring equol-producing ability

An object of the present invention is to provide a method of quantitating or detecting a microorganism, capable of detecting a live microorganism at high sensitivity and more precisely. A method of quantitating a microorganism of interest, using as an index the amount of rRNA of the microorganism of interest is provided.

Method of quantitatively analyzing microorganism targeting rRNA

An object of the invention is to provide a medical drug, a food and drink having a role in regulating the concentration of equol in vivo and being capable of taking for a long time with high safety and provide a selective medium for a microorganism having conversion ability to equol and a method of detecting the same. Provided are an equol concentration-raising or reducing agent containing a carbohydrate as an active ingredient; use of a carbohydrate for producing the equol concentration-raising or reducing agent; a method of raising or reducing the concentration of equol by administrating a carbohydrate in an effective dose; a selective medium containing a carbohydrate for a microorganism having conversion ability to equol; and a method of detecting a microorganism having conversion ability to equol by use of the selective medium.

Equol level regulator

The present invention is directed to a microorganism having an ability of converting daidzein to equol in 24 hours of 50% or higher; a food/beverage or pharmaceutical composition containing the microorganism; an equol production method employing the microorganism; and a nucleic acid fragment which can specifically detect the microorganism.

Equol-producing bacterium and use thereof

The present invention provides a bacterium belonging to the genus, which can exhibit a high viability in the storage under agitation and can produce a fermented food containing a large number of viable bacterial count. The present invention further provides a fermented food, which contains the bacterium belonging to the genusand exhibits various physiological effects such as inhibitory action against harmful intestinal bacteria and intestinal function controlling effects. The present invention further provides a bacterium belonging to the genushaving a rate of viability of 30% or more, when the bacterium is stored in the aerobic condition under agitation at 10&#xb0; C. for 14 days after culturing in a medium containing milk as a main ingredient until obtaining a viable count of 1&#xd7;10cfu/ml or more, and fermented food using the same.

[object Object]

Athat is resistant to acid and bile and which retains at least 20% viability after acid and bile treatment. Foods and drinks containing an acid- and bile-resistant. Methods for providing viableto the intestine after ingestion of a food or drink containing an acid- and bile-resistant

Method of evaluating the extent of reaching the intestine of bifidobacterium in fermented milk food or drink

A telephone apparatus includes a display unit and a storage unit for storing a plurality of registration data sets randomly registered. Each of the plurality of registration data sets includes a destination name and a phone number of the destination. A grouping section groups the plurality of registration data sets into blocks. Also, a display control section controls the display unit such that at least a part of each of the plurality of registration data sets is displayed in units of blocks in a display mode.
