20080241719FULL COLOR IMAGE FORMING PROCESS - A process for forming a full-color image, wherein the 4 color toners each have an apparent viscosity at 105° C. of 50,000 to 300,000 Pa·s and an apparent viscosity at 130° C. of 3,000 to 30,000 Pa·s, and as a color toner arranged at the outermost layer on a transfer medium among the 4 color toners, a toner, in which a maximum peak or a shoulder peak is present between 105° C. and 130° C. in a temperature-logarithmic melt viscosity graph, is used, and as the other color toners arranged at lower layers than the outermost layer, toners, in which neither the maximum peak nor the shoulder peak is present between 105° C. and 130° C., are used.10-02-2008
20080241188Turkey herpesvirus vectored recombinant containing avian influenza genes - The present invention provides a recombinant turkey herpesvirus modified by the presence of the cDNA encoding the hemagglutinin protein of avian influenza virus under a promoter. A poultry vaccine comprising the recombinant turkey herpesvirus described in the present invention can induce serological responses that may be easily detected by the hemagglutination inhibition assay but not by commercially available diagnostic ELISA kits; thus enabling easy differentiation between vaccination and field infection.10-02-2008
20080233146Promoter gene, recombinant turkey herpesvirus having the novel promoter gene, and poultry vaccine including the recombinant herpes virus of turkey - Promoter genes that are derived from Marek's disease virus (MDV). These promoter genes can express two foreign genes when inserted in a recombinant turkey herpesvirus (HVT). A recombinant HVT having said novel promoter gene between two foreign genes. The poultry vaccine consisting of the recombinant turkey herpesvirus described in the present invention.09-25-2008
20080217617Thin Film Transistor, Wiring Board and Methods of Manufacturing the Same - A gate electrode or a gate wiring of a thin-film transistor has a four-layer structure including an adhesive base layer, a catalyst layer, a wiring metal layer, and a wiring metal anti-diffusion layer which are laminated in this order. With this structure, adhesion and flatness are improved. In this case, the adhesive base layer is formed by a resin having a structure capable of coordinating to a metal. Hence, adhesion with an insulating substrate can be improved. Further, the wiring metal anti-diffusion layer is formed on the wiring metal layer, so that diffusion of a wiring metal can be inhibited. Thus, characteristics of the thin-film transistor can be improved.09-11-2008
