A burner device for supplying a mixture of a fuel gas and a combustion-supporting gas into a combustion region includes: a mixing path configured to inject the mixture from a downstream end portion of the mixing path into the combustion region; a fuel gas injection nozzle configured to inject the fuel gas into the mixing path toward the combustion region; and a combustion-supporting gas supply swirler configured to inject the combustion-supporting gas such that at least a part of the combustion-supporting gas collides directly with the fuel gas injected from the fuel gas injection nozzle, in a direction of a tangent line that is tangent to a fuel injection hole of the fuel gas injection nozzle on a cross-section.

The present invention describes inhibitors of extracellular Hsp90. The inhibition of extracellular Hsp90 leads to a reduction of the invasiveness of the tumor cells. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of molecules inhibiting extracellular Hsp90 function for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prevention of invasion and/or metastatic potential of cancer cells.

A gas turbine combustor includes inner and outer liners that are concentric and cylindrical, and an end liner closing between upstream ends thereof and forming a hollow cylindrical combustion chamber therein, and a swirling air flow forming device introducing combustion air about the end liner from outside and forming a swirling air flow, a fuel ejector ejecting fuel in the swirling direction to form a premixed swirling flow, and an igniter igniting the premixed swirling flow to form a tubular flame surface. The combustion chamber includes a primary combustion chamber, a secondary combustion chamber disposed downstream of the primary combustion chamber, and an annular restrictor reducing the outer diameter of the primary combustion chamber and disposed therebetween. A diluting air hole, supplying diluting air along a flow of the combustion gas passing through the restrictor, is disposed downstream of the restrictor in the inner liner.

A method and device achieves identification on whether a colony on a cultivation container is differentiated or undifferentiated on an occasion of cultivation of multipotent stem cell, and a method and device achieves a rapid culture of undifferentiated multipotent stem cells. Undifferentiated colony containing only undifferentiated multipotent stem cells is identified from other types of colonies by means of the circularity C of the colony in an image-processed taken image of the inside of cultivation container of a multipotent stem cell. More specifically, when a first threshold of the circularity of the colony is C, and a second predetermined threshold is C(C&#x3c;C), a colony satisfying C&#x2266;C is determined as the undifferentiated colony, a colony satisfying C&#x2266;C&#x3c;Cis determined as an undefined colony, and a colony satisfying C&#x3c;Cis determined as the differentiated colony.

An object of the present invention is to provide an atmosphere heat treatment apparatus that is operable without relying on experiences and/or intuitions of an operator, and a method of operating the same. The atmosphere heat treatment apparatus includes an entrance side exhaust path () for exhausting an inside atmosphere from an entrance side of a carburizing chamber () to which a transforming gas is supplied, an exit side exhaust path () for exhausting the inside atmosphere from an exit side of the heat treatment chamber, and an opening degree adjusting lid () attached for adjusting an opening degree of the entrance side exhaust path (), in which a part or whole of the exit side exhaust path () is constituted of a pipe () having a predetermined inside diameter. It is checked in advance a relationship of a supplying amount A of the transforming gas with a ratio B:C of an exhaust amount B from the exit side exhaust path () and an exhaust amount C from the entrance side exhaust path () when a pressure in the carburizing chamber () is adjusted to a predetermined furnace pressure by adjusting an opening degree of the entrance side exhaust path () with the opening degree adjusting lid (), and when treating a work (W), the supplying amount A of the transforming gas and a furnace pressure are adjusted so as to control the ratio B:C of the exhaust amount B from the exit side exhaust path () and the exhaust amount C from the entrance side exhaust path () to be within a predetermined range.

There are provided a ceramic electronic component and a method for producing the ceramic electronic component, where a ground electrode layer can be directly coated with lead-free solder without lowering reliabilities. Terminal electrodeis provided with a ground electrode layerof Cu having been formed by firing, a solder layerformed of a lead-free solder based on five elements of Sn&#x2014;Ag&#x2014;Cu&#x2014;Ni&#x2014;Ge, and a diffusion layerhaving been formed by the diffusion of Ni between the ground electrode layerand the solder layer. Because the diffusion layerof Ni is formed between the ground electrode layerand the solder layer, the diffusion layer, which functions as a barrier layer, suppresses the solder leach of Cu from the ground electrode layer. The diffusion layerof Ni can also suppress the growth of fragile intermetallic compounds of Sn&#x2014;Cu. Therefore, a decrease in the bonding strength between the ground electrode layerand the solder layercan be prevented.

A plating apparatus performs a plating process while placing a work in a pod disposed in a plating bath storing a plating solution. The pod has a pair of meshes that allow the plating solution to pass but substantially inhibit the work from passing. The plating apparatus is provided with a solution flowing mechanism for flowing the plating solution out of the pod through one of the pair of meshes.
