A porous coordinatively unsaturated metal complex comprises metal complex units. Each metal complex unit includes a first metal and an organic ligand. The metal complex units are connected one another through a second metal (a connecting metal). The porous coordinatively unsaturated metal complex has voids formed by the connection. Voids have a size of 10 &#x212b; or more. The first metal is rendered to a coordinatively unsaturated state in the metal complex unit.

An emulation apparatus is connected to a host computer and a target system for verifying the operation of a program written for the target system. A microcomputer in the emulation apparatus executes the program written for the target system. In an undo mode, the execution of a program is halted at the end of the execution of each instruction. At that time, information on relative bus cycles is stored in a relative-bus cycle area of a memory. The contents of data and control registers in a target system are acquired and stored in data-register and control-register areas.

A method of refining and manufacturing a fat and oil containing polyunsaturated fatty acids which prevents production of peculiar fishy smells when such a fat and oil is added to food materials and while it is stored by preventing oxidation of PUFA's and restraining conversion of odor-emanating precursors into odor-emanating substances. A fat and oil, such as a marine animal oil, containing polyunsaturated fatty acids with 18 or more carbon atoms and three or more double bonds such as EPA and DHA is alkali refined and bleached. The thus alkali refined and bleached fat and oil is refined by bringing 100 parts by weight of it into contact for 10 minutes or more at 5.degree.-80.degree. C. with not less than 0.1 part by weight of powdered or granulated diatomaceous earth formed by calcining with a flux added such as sodium carbonate or sodium chloride. The fat and oil thus obtained is filtered and deodorized by steam distillation under vacuum.

A process of producing hydroxyalkanal comprises a step of hydrating a raw material, namely, an unsaturated aldehyde, in an aqueous solution in the presence of a lead-carrying heterogeneous acid catalyst promoting the hydration reaction. According to the above method, the lead-carrying heterogeneous acid catalyst curbs the consecutive reaction of the reaction product, namely, hydroxyalkanal. Thus, hydroxyalkanal can be produced with high selectivity at high yield out of a high-concentration unsaturated aldehyde solution. Moreover, the catalyst can be used repetitively for a considerable period of continuous use in a stable manner, thereby further improving the yield of hydroxyalkanal.

In a process of producing hydroxyalkanal, a raw material, namely, an unsaturated aldehyde, is hydrated with a solution in the presence of a catalyst, and alcohol is added to the solution. A adding amount of the alcohol with respect to the unsaturated aldehyde is preferably in a range between 0.001 percent by weight and 10 percent by weight. According to this process, a consecutive reaction (side reaction) of a reaction product, namely, hydroxyalkanal, is curbed by the alcohol added to the solution, thereby making it possible to produce hydroxyalkanal at high selectivity out of a high-density unsaturated aldehyde solution. Therefore, the above process can trigger a reaction of an industrially advantageous unsaturated aldehyde solution, and thus improves the yield of hydroxyalkanal.

A non-invasive blood analyzer includes a light application device for applying light to a detection region of vessels contained in part of the living body, an imaging device for imaging the detection region to which light is applied, a fixing device for relatively fixing the imaging device and the part of the living body; a stabilizing device for stabilizing a focus of the imaging device with respect to the detection region; and an analyzer for analyzing the morphology and/or number of blood cells contained in the detection region by processing images captured with the imaging device, the light application device and the imaging device forming one image with a light application and capturing process during an interval of one ten thousandth to one billionth of a second.
