A biological rhythm is adjusted based on a time difference as well while individually dealing with moving subjects that move in accordance with moving schedules. In step S, information including the moving schedule and biological information on the moving subject is input. In step S, a sleeping schedule is set based on the information obtained in step S. Step Sis roughly divided into two steps. In the first step, parameters for setting the sleeping schedule are set based on the moving schedule and the biological information. In the next step, the sleeping schedule is set with the parameters obtained in the first step.

A hazardous substance () is removed by using a hazardous substance removing material () in which a support () supports an antibody (). Humidity of the ambient atmosphere of the antibody () is controlled so that the antibody () becomes active.

An apparatus for detecting, identifying and measuring infectious disease causing microorganisms is described. The apparatus utilizes a plural medium arrangement in which a test liquid containing a microorganism is simultaneously introduced. Different media are utilized for the plural medium arrangement and at least one of the media can contain a respiration inhibiting material and/or other reagents such as antibiotics. Dissolved oxygen measurements of the media are taken as a measurement of microorganism respiration. Oxygen electrode signals within different media are compared and differential respiration variation rates are determined and identification signals produced. The identification signal resulting from the multiple respiration rate determinations is compared with known values to identify and measure the microorganism. The drug sensitivity of a microorganism is also judged when at least one of the media contains a drug for which the sensitivity of microorganism is to be determined.

Method for testing infectious disease causing microorganisms

A test solution including bacteria is added to a liquid sample in which antibacterial drug exists and to a liquid sample in which no antibacterial drug exists, and existence or non-existence of drug sensitivity is judged based upon whether or not the dissolved oxygen concentration in both liquid samples are essentially different from one another.
