An operation method of a recipe control process in which multiple processing targets are processed continuously in a processing apparatus using recipes that specify a set of control parameters specifying the processing conditions of processing targets. Optionally, the data can be used to quantify a carbon dioxide concentration increase at the first location that is attributable to escape of carbon dioxide from the source and to calculate a rate of escape of carbon dioxide from the source by executing a model of gas-phase transport using at least the first carbon dioxide concentration increase. A DFT unit of a receiver includes first through third N-point DFT units, a channel predictor and interpolator, and a channel compensator, and performs DFT on the signal received from the transmitter twice. The angled sections may be angled rearwardly in a leeward direction andor radially and may be angled from 1 to 20 degrees with respect to vertical. The invention also provides methods of producing transgenic plants that have altered levels of prenyl protease polynucleotides and polypeptides, and transgenic plants that have increased tolerance to an environmental stress as compared to a wild type plant. The cooling system also includes an ion exchanger for removing ions from the coolant with the use of ion exchange resin, and a supply control means for controlling coolant to be supplied to the ion exchanger.
