The present invention is drawn to methods and compositions for suppressing cell death in plants. Each pixel circuit of another type includes an amplifying transistor, a floating diffusion, a reset transistor and the like and is commonly provided for pixels of respective rows and arranged outside pixel rows. The first sheet is provided with removable portions and a permanent adhesive on its second major surface. The plurality of second wiring patterns are connected to the plurality of first wiring patterns, and the second contact probe is formed separately from the first contact probe. Since fast axes of birefringence are distributed in a concentric fashion, a titania-doped quartz glass substrate having a high flatness is obtainable which is suited for use in the EUV lithography.
