Operational metadata is comprised of ETL information; ETL task execution statuses, run number, definitions, control flow, and execution schedules. More preferably, image formation based on the bitmap image data having undergone halftone processing by the image processing unit is performed by electrophotography, and the image processing unit performs halftone processing by using as the predetermined direction a scanning direction in forming a latent image with a light beam.

The present invention relates to antibodies specifically binding to native proBNP, a method for specific detection of native proBNP, a method of correlating the level of native proBNP to the diagnosis of heart failure, a kit for detection of native proBNP and to a hybridoma cell line producing an antibody to native proBNP. The p+ impurity region defines a high-potential island region, a low-potential island region and a slit region in the n\u2212 semiconductor layer. The bottom surface forms a surface where, of the light reflected from the work piece, light following a direct reflection direction is reflected in a direction moving away from the incidence region, from a position where light emitted from the emitting region is emitted at the work piece.
