Modified fertilizer materials are produced, comprising a) at least one fertilizer granule coated with a dispersant to form at least one fertilizer granule-dispersant particle, b) a dispersant, which comprises at least one agrochemical blended with at least one powder, and c) an overcoating material that is applied to the at least one fertilizer granule-dispersant particle. According to the information processing apparatus thus configured, when one communication party points a subject displayed on a screen in a videophone etc. A controller is responsive to the change in capacitance sensed by the detection circuit to selectively adjust an operation mode of the passenger conveyor. A difference in these two measurements indicates the presence of stratified flow. The lead includes an electrode to be positioned in or proximate to the heart to deliver the baroreflex signal to a baroreceptor region in or proximate to the heart. The power supply module comprises a means for detecting the discharge current supplied by the capacitor-input filter following a short-circuit in the power supply module.
