The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a separation film that consists primarily of a cellulose ester and has a high membrane strength and a high elongation degree; and a production method therefor. Provided is a separation film which has a structure comprising a cellulose ester phase and pores, wherein the average pore diameter R is 0.001-6 μm, the value obtained from the expression: breaking strength (MPa)÷(100−porosity (%))×100 is 40 or greater, and the elongation degree is 10% or greater.

An object of the present invention is to provide cellulose acetate that has excellent compatibility with a resin, can reinforce a resin, and has excellent thermal stability. An embodiment of the present invention is cellulose acetate having a cellulose triacetate I crystal structure, wherein a temperature at which a weight loss relative to weight at 100° C. reaches 5% is 200° C. or higher when the cellulose acetate is heated at a heating rate of 10° C./min under a nitrogen atmosphere.

A system and method of automated downtime scheduling and control is disclosed. A failure of at least one component of at least one bare-metal server associated with a client is detected and a first notification is transmitted to a client system associated with the client. The notification includes a request to schedule downtime. A response including a selected downtime is received from the client system and the at least one bare-metal server is transitioned to an offline state at the selected downtime. A ticket is generated in a ticketing system for repair of the bare-metal server. The ticket identifies the at least one component.

A composite fiber sponge containing sulforaphane is produced by the step of subjecting a composite liquid to a molding treatment and a crosslinking treatment. The composite liquid contains a composite fiber including an extract of a Brassicaceae plant, a polysaccharide, and a carboxymethyl cellulose fiber. The extract of the Brassicaceae plant contains the sulforaphane. A composite fiber material containing sulforaphane is also disclosed.
