20120121618Predicting And Treating Prostate Cancer - The disclosure features methods and compositions for determining whether a male subject has, or is at an increased risk of developing, an aggressive form of prostate cancer. The disclosure also features methods for adjusting a treatment regimen (e.g., discontinuing a therapy comprising an antioxidant) or administering a therapy that does not contain an antioxidant for a male subject in view of one or both of an MnSOD2 genotype status and an elevated level of an antioxidant in a biological sample obtained from the male subject. Also featured are methods for reducing superoxide levels in a subject based on one or both of an MnSOD2 genotype status and an elevated level of an antioxidant in a biological sample obtained from the male subject.05-17-2012

20100009853PARASITIC PLANT CONTROL AGENT AND USE THEREOF - Parasitic plants parasitizing on crops can be controlled effectively, by providing an agent for controlling parasitic plants, which comprises tiadinil or the like as the active ingredient and a method for using an agent for controlling parasitic plants, which comprises treating a parasitized plant or soil with an effective amount of agent for controlling parasitic plants. As a result, the yield of crops can be recovered to the level of parasitism-free crops. Additionally, by inhibiting parasitism of parasitic plants strongly, development of the next generation can be inhibited so that the level of pollution with parasitic plants on agricultural land can be lowered with cultivating sensitive crops.01-14-2010

20080199329Device for reducing pulsation in a variable displacement compressor - The present invention is directed to provide a device for reducing pulsation in a variable displacement compressor. The compressor is connected to an external refrigerant circuit. The device for reducing pulsation includes a flow passage and a control valve. The control valve includes a valve housing, a spool valve and a damper chamber. The spool valve has formed therethrough a flow hole. The damper chamber communicates with the flow passage adjacent to the external refrigerant circuit through the flow hole. Effective cross-sectional area and effective length of the flow hole are determined based on frequency of a specific pulsation of the refrigerant gas and volume of the damper chamber at the time of the development of the specific pulsation in such a manner that the specific pulsation is developed, resonance effect of a Helmholtz resonator takes place in the damper chamber.08-21-2008

20120125368LIQUID PROCESSING METHOD, LIQUID PROCESSING APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM FOR PERFORMING LIQUID PROCESSING METHOD - There are provided a liquid processing method and a liquid processing apparatus capable of removing a resist film without removing an underlying film when removing the resist film from a substrate on which the underlying film and the resist film are formed in sequence from the bottom and into which ions have been previously implanted. In the liquid processing method capable of processing a substrate by a processing solution, the method includes removing the resist film from the substrate by supplying the processing solution at a temperature of about 120° C. or higher to the substrate. The processing solution includes a sulfuric acid and a nitric acid at a preset ratio, and the substrate has thereon the underlying film and the resist film formed on the underlying film, and ions have been previously implanted into the substrate.05-24-2012

20110065197DIAGNOSTIC KIT FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE, DIAGNOSTIC MARKER, AND DETECTION METHOD FOR INDICATOR OF PATHOLOGICAL STATE THEREOF - [Problems] The differential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease as distinguished from other type of dementia and the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease at such an early stage where neural cell death has not proceeded yet are important for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. On the other hand, it is difficult to differentially diagnose Alzheimer's disease at an earlier stage by a diagnosis mainly made by questioning by a doctor or a diagnostic technique using phosphorylated tau or amyloid-β protein as an indicator. Thus, the development of a novel diagnostic technique has been demanded.03-17-2011

20120021570METHOD FOR FORMING MICROCRYSTALLINE SEMICONDUCTOR FILM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A seed crystal including mixed phase grains having high crystallinity with a low grain density is formed under a first condition, and a microcrystalline semiconductor film is formed over the seed crystal under a second condition which allows the mixed phase grains in the seed crystal to grow to fill a space between the mixed phase grains. In the first condition, the flow rate of hydrogen is 50 times or greater and 1000 times or less that of a deposition gas containing silicon or germanium, and the pressure in a process chamber is greater than 1333 Pa and 13332 Pa or less. In the second condition, the flow rate of hydrogen is 100 times or greater and 2000 times or less that of a deposition gas containing silicon or germanium, and the pressure in the process chamber is 1333 Pa or greater and 13332 Pa or less.01-26-2012

20100327281THIN FILM TRANSISTOR AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - An object is to provide a thin film transistor with small off current, large on current, and high field-effect mobility. A silicon nitride layer and a silicon oxide layer which is formed by oxidizing the silicon nitride layer are stacked as a gate insulating layer, and crystals grow from an interface of the silicon oxide layer of the gate insulating layer to form a microcrystalline semiconductor layer; thus, an inverted staggered thin film transistor is manufactured. Since crystals grow from the gate insulating layer, the thin film transistor can have a high crystallinity, large on current, and high field-effect mobility. In addition, a buffer layer is provided to reduce off current.12-30-2010

20090031441Regulatory Genes for Plant Differentiation and Growth, and Use of the Same - An objective of the present invention is to provide gibberellin-binding proteins, genes encoding such proteins, and applications therefor. The proteins of the present invention function as cytoplasmic receptors for gibberellin and mediate gibberellin response in plants. Plants overexpressing such genes exhibited gibberellin-hypersensitive phenotypes, such as increased plant height. In contrast, plants in which the genes were mutated exhibited gibberellin-insensitive phenotypes, and thus became dwarfed. Accordingly, plant differentiation and growth can be regulated by introducing the gibberellin-binding genes of the present invention or by suppressing the expression of same.01-29-2009
