A method for identifying a quantitative trait loci for a complex trait that is exhibited by a plurality of organisms in a population. The population is divided into a plurality of sub-populations using a classification scheme. Depending on what is known about the population, either a supervised or unsupervised classification is used. The classification scheme is derived from a plurality of cellular constituent measurements obtained from each organism in the population. For each sub-population in the plurality of sub-populations, a quantitative genetic analysis is performed on the sub-population in order to identify one or more quantitative trait loci for the complex trait.

The quality of an image read from a degraded image of an original document can be improved. Hence, a specific pixel of an image is selected, and additional information to be added to the image is generated from the position information and color information of the selected pixel. The image of an original document is read, position information and color information added to the original document are extracted, and the color information of a pixel corresponding to the position information is acquired from the read image. The color of the read image is corrected based on the extracted color information and the acquired color information.

A spread illuminating apparatus is provided that includes two light conductive plates. Each light conductive plate has point light sources having respective different emission wavelengths and disposed at one side surface thereof. Since a light exiting mechanism is formed at a region in one major surface of the light conductive plate located apart from the light sources, lights emitted from the light sources into the light conductive plate are adapted to exit out mostly from a region in the other major surface located apart from the light sources. The lights are allowed to be well mixed with one another before exiting out the light conductive plate, thus preventing the color heterogeneity and coloration problem. When the two light conductive plates are stacked together such that their respective one side surfaces are oppositely located apart from each other, white light is achieved entirely across the light conductive plate.

An optical information medium comprises a supporting substrate, an information recording surface 4 on the supporting substrate and a light-transmitting layer of resin on the information recording surface. Recording light and / or reproducing light are incident on the information recording surface through the light-transmitting layer. The light-transmitting layer is obtained by curing a resin layer containing an ultraviolet-curing cationic resin. If the light-transmitting layer is formed by repeating the cycle of resin coating and curing or drying a plurality of times, the uniformity of thickness of the light-transmitting layer can be much more improved and the amount of warpage can be much more reduced. Repetition of the cycle of resin coating and curing or drying is also effective for resins other than the ultraviolet-curing cationic resin.
