Abstract:
In a state where food ingredients, degradative enzymes, and liquid seasonings are housed and sealed in a hard vessel, it has become possible to develop food products packaged in the hard vessel for normal temperature distribution or chilled distribution by a method of carrying out all of the steps inside the hard vessel, which method comprises carrying out an enzyme impregnation step and an enzymatic reaction step by heating and carrying out an enzyme deactivation step and sterilization step by continuous heating; or by a method of carrying out, after introducing the degradative enzyme into the food ingredient, some steps of enzymatic reaction step, enzyme deactivation step, and sterilization step inside the hard vessel.
Abstract:
A thrips control agent in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention is used for plants belonging to family Brassicaceae, family Solanaceae, family Rosaceae, family Cucurbitaceae, family Fabaceae, or family Asteraceae. The thrips control agent contains prohydrojasmon as an active ingredient, so that a negative impact of the thrips control agent on plant growth is suppressed.

Abstract:
A physiological information processing device includes one or more processors, and one or more memories for storing computer-readable commands. When the computer-readable commands are executed by the processors, the physiological information processing device executes processing of acquiring attribute information associated with an attribution of an infant, acquiring state information related to a state of the infant before a start of a pain event that causes pain in the infant, acquiring physiological information data of the infant, acquiring facial expression information associated with infant's facial expression after the start of the pain event, calculating a pain assessment index for assessing the pain of the infant in the pain event based on the attribute information, the state information, the physiological information data, and the facial expression information, and outputting the calculated pain assessment index.
Abstract:
THE PRESENT INVENTION PROVIDES A PLANT ILLUMINATION AND CULTIVATION METHOD, THAT IS A CULTIVATION METHOD OF ILLUMINATING PLANTS IN A LIGHT OR LIGHTLESS ENVIRONMENT, WHEREIN REGARDING THE ILLUMINATION, EMITTED LIGHT HAS AN EMISSION PEAK WAVELENGTH IN THE GREEN TO RED REGION, AND FLASHES WITH A PREDETERMINED FLASHING PATTERN OF A LIGHT PERIOD DURATION AND A DARK PERIOD DURATION, AND REGARDING THE FLASHING, A DUTY REPRESENTED BY THE FOLLOWING FORMULA (1) IS 50% OR LESS: DUTY (%) = LIGHT PERIOD DURATION/(LIGHT PERIOD DURATION + DARK PERIOD DURATION) X 100 (1). ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT INVENTION, IT IS POSSIBLE TO PROVIDE A CULTIVATION METHOD THAT HAS AN INSECT PROOFING EFFECT SUCH AS A MOTH PROOFING EFFECT WHILE CONTROLLING FLOWERING INHIBITION OF SHORT-DAY PLANTS SUCH AS CHRYSANTHEMUM. (FIG. 8)
Abstract:
TO PROVIDE A PLANT CULTIVATION MANAGEMENT METHOD AND A LIGHTING DEVICE CAPABLE OF OBTAINING AN INSECT-REPELLING EFFECT WHILE AVOIDING DELAY IN FLOWERING OR CONTROLLING FLOWERING REACTION OF SHORT-DAY PLANTS SUCH AS CHRYSANTHEMUM. THE PRESENT INVENTION IS A PLANT CULTIVATION METHOD USING ILLUMINATION, WHEREIN THE ILLUMINATION IS CONDUCTED USING A PLURALITY OF LIGHT SOURCES THAT EMIT LIGHT HAVING AN EMISSION PEAK WAVELENGTH IN GREEN TO RED REGIONS, EACH LIGHT SOURCE OF THE PLURAL LIGHT SOURCES EMITS LIGHT HAVING AN INTENSITY THAT VARIES SYNCHRONOUSLY IN A FLASHING PATTERN INCLUDING A PREDETERMINED LIGHT PERIOD DURATION AND A DARK PERIOD DURATION HAVING A SMALLER TIME AVERAGE BRIGHTNESS THAN THE LIGHT PERIOD DURATION AS ONE CYCLE, IN THE PATTERN, A DUTY REPRESENTED BY THE FOLLOWING FORMULA (1) IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 50%, DUTY (%) = LIGHT PERIOD DURATION/(LIGHT PERIOD DURATION + DARK PERIOD DURATION) X 100 (1), AND AT LEAST PART OF THE REGION ILLUMINATED BY THE PLURAL LIGHT SOURCES HAS AN INSECT-REPELLING EFFECT BY BEING ILLUMINATED BY COMBINATION OF ILLUMINATION PATTERNS FROM THE PLURAL LIGHT SOURCES.

Abstract:
The present invention retains the original shape, color, taste, flavor and texture, suppresses liquating out nutritional contents, can easily adjust the hardness of a food to the desired hardness, does not require extreme care for deformation even though it is soft, is easy to handle during the manufacturing process, transportation and distribution process, can efficiently manufacture a processed food which uses a wide variety of food materials, can preserve by suppressing microbial deterioration due to its hygienic manufacture, particularly aims to promote appetite for the elderly and the like in oligotrophic conditions, and can laconically, easily and inexpensively manufacture a processed food in a short period of time, wherein the food is capable of supplying nutritious substance according to need. The method of manufacturing a food of the present invention including bringing either one or both of a thickener in a non-solvated state and microorganism which generates a viscous material into contact with the surface of a food material, and performing a pressure treatment, such that the food retains the shape of the food material and uniformly includes either one or both of a thickener in a non-solvated state and microorganism which generates a viscous material inside.
Abstract:
To provide a method for manufacturing a multi-layered near net shape for a mold product with improved yields of material, strength and rigidity. Prepreg tapes 1 of composite material comprised of thermoplastic resin and reinforced fibers are used to manufacture the near net shape, wherein the prepreg tapes 1 in a same layer are disposed in different directions based on the directions of fibers contained the prepreg tapes 1 and an outer force to be applied to the mold product, and wherein each prepreg tape 1 is placed and stitched by a suitable stitching method.
