Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés destinés à réduire, à prévenir ou à retarder le développement de tolérance à certains médicaments qui ciblent les récepteurs couplés à la protéine G (GPCR). Ces procédés sont, en général, mis en oeuvre par co-administration avec le médicament d'un agoniste du GPCR cible du médicament qui favorise l'endocytose du récepteur ciblé. Ils sont particulièrement utiles pour des médicaments qui ciblent les récepteurs opioïdes, par exemple la morphine. Cette invention concerne également des compositions comprenant un médicament et un agoniste qui permettent de prévenir de façon avantageuse le développement de tolérance au médicament que peut développer un médicament lorsqu'il est administré seul.

Abstract: A method of performing a formation rate analysis from pressure and formation flow rate data. Pressure and flow rate data are measured as fluid is withdrawn from a formation. Variable system volume is accounted for. The pressure and flow rate data are correlated using a multiple linear regression technique. Time derivative terms related to pressure and flow rate are smoothed using a summation technique, thereby providing better correlations than using the time derivatives directly. Formation parameters comprising formation permeability, formation pressure, and fluid compressibility may be determined from the correlation.

Abstract: An enhanced, diploid pollenizer watermelon plant and method used to maximize the yield of triploid seedless watermelons per area. The enhanced pollenizer watermelon plant of the invention is either a hybrid variety, an open-pollinated variety or a synthetic variety, that exhibits the characteristics of small leaves and fruit with a brittle rind that splits when the fruit is overripe or breaks when relatively small physical forces are applied. The watermelon plant of the invention is also preferably characterized by extended flowering duration, thereby increasing the number of triploid watermelon flowers that are pollinated and set fruit. The method for producing a seedless watermelon fruit, includes the steps of providing a pollenizer diploid watermelon plant, extending the duration of flowering of the pollenizer plant while reducing the number of such plants needed to pollenize the same number of triploid watermelon plants, and maximizing dispersal of the pollenizer watermelon plant throughout the field of triploid watermelon plants.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for cooling material flows or for carefully heating heat-sensitive material flows, especially slurry. The material flow transported through a heat exchanging installation is brought into contact with heat-exchanging surfaces in the heat-exchanging installation. The aim of the invention is to enable a rapid heat exchange without large differences in temperature, using one such method. To this end, the heat-exchanging surfaces are located on the surfaces of auxiliary material bodies transported in the circulation by means of the heat-exchanging installation. Said bodies are introduced into the heat-exchanging installation in a cooled state or a heated state. They are then mixed with the material flow to be treated, separated from the same, regenerated and redirected back into the circulation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for maintaining
synchronous return and forward communications links between user
terminals and earth stations communicating via a common satellite
in a satellite based telecommunications system. Each user terminal
maintains a closed synchronization loop with its associated earth
station based on timing and frequency error offset signals received
by the user terminals. The user terminals update their internal
timing and frequency generators based on the received error offset
signals. In an earth station sharing embodiment, one of the earth
stations is designated as a master earth station while the
remaining stations are designated as slave earth stations with
respect to a common satellite. The slave earth stations monitor a
return link between at least one user terminal and the master earth
station. The slave earth stations update their internal reference
timing and frequency signal generators, in order to remain
synchronous with the return link between the monitored user
terminal and the master earth station. The slave earth stations
maintained synchronous forward links by requesting synchronization
update information from the monitored user terminal. Upon
receiving a request, the monitored user terminal calculates a
difference in timing and frequency between frames received from the
requesting slave and associated master earth stations. The user
terminal transmits the difference in timing and frequency along its
return link. The slave earth station updates its forward link
timing and frequency reference signal generators to remain
synchronous with the master earth station.
