An RE-containing alloy, which is represented by a compositional formula of RrTtAa and having an alloy microstructure containing an NaZn13-type crystal structure in an amount of at least 85 mass % and \u03b1-Fe in an amount of 5-15 mass % inclusive. The complete nucleotide sequence of the genome of porcine adenovirus type 3, providing the characterization of the PAV3 E1 region, is described herein. The probe drive module is preferably mounted to the linear translation unit so as to be moveable between a condition whereby longitudinal shifting of the transducer subassembly can be conducted either manually or automatically. , polysilicon and silicon germanide. The pH-control layer is made of an electrically conductive material capable of moderating changes in the hydrogen-ion concentration in the medicament matrix during iontophoretic current flow.
