Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating neoplastic conditions by viral-based therapy are provided. Mutant virus lacking viral proteins which bind and/or inactivate p53 or RB are administered to a patient having a neoplasm which comprises cells lacking p53 and/or RB function. The mutant virus is able to substantially produce a replication phenotype in neoplastic cells but is substantially unable to produce a replication phenotype in non-replicating, non-neoplastic cells having essentially normal p53 and/or RB function. The preferential generation of replication phenotype in neoplastic cells results in a preferential killing of the neoplastic cells, either directly or by expression of a cytotoxic gene in cells expressing a viral replication phenotype.

Abstract: On améliore des réactions de distillation catalytique du fait de la présence dans la réaction d'un constituant condensateur inerte qui bout et se condense dans la réaction, ce qui lave le catalyseur dans le système et, en cas de réactifs gazeux, qui enferme une partie des réactifs pour faciliter la réaction sans pressions indûment élevées. Le constituant condensateur inerte bout aux conditions internes du réacteur et est pris comme produit de tête pour la condensation et le retour en tant que reflux. Ledit constituant peut enfermer les réactifs gazeux, ce qui permet un meilleur contact avec le catalyseur et fournit l'avantage d'une réaction et d'une distillation concomitantes, par exemple la réaction de CO et de H2 sur un catalyseur de cuivre pour produire du méthanol à l'aide de propane en tant que constituant condensateur inerte.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for obtaining optimal cultivation of a parcel of land. A soil working machine with drivable working members, such as a rotary harrow, is provided with soil working members which rotate about approximately vertically orientated axes, and cooperates with a geographic positioning system such as DGPS, GPS, Lorean or a dead reckoning system to determine on a continual basis the actual position of the soil working machine on a parcel of land. Simultaneously, the condition or the composition or both of the underlying soil is determined and data of same is transmitted to a processing unit which maps the parcel of land into subareas wherein the states of the soil are the same. A control unit applies this mapping for controlling the soil working members during the soil working machine's operations so that each subarea of the same soil state is optimally cultivated. Variations in the cultivation are obtained by controlling the soil working members' rpm's or their working depths or both and also, optionally independently or in combination with other variations, controlling the soil working machine's speed as it transverses different subareas to optimize cultivation in each subarea. These variations in cultivation can occur during the mapping process or subsequently the mapping can be used for further cultivation operations of the same parcel of land.

Abstract: The invention relates to a thin-layer chromatography apparatus (1) having a plurality of optical light guides to inject light from a light source (2) onto a thin-layer plate (4) and to feed light from the thin-layer plate to an optical examining device (6). To obtain a robust, compact thin-layer chromatography apparatus having a high spectral and spatial resolution, with which there are only minimal disturbances, if any, caused by ambient light and which is nonetheless economical to produce, the invention provides for the emitted-light guides (3) and or received-light guides (5) to be positioned in a regular geometrical pattern in relation to each other either towards or away from the plate, as represented by the rows (11 and 14). The light spots emitted by the emitted-light guides and the field of vision of the received-light guide overlap in an adjustable manner (linear movements 12b, pivoting movements 12a), as regards spatial resolution and light yield. A thin-layer plate (4) which is oriented in a planar manner by reference measurement and has a chromatography path (10) is displaced by a control unit (7) in relation to the light guides (8) which are at a distance of a few 100 mum and is examined (6) and evaluated (7) by spectroscopy for fluorescence, reflectance and/or absorption.

Abstract: Reactive Dye compound having formula (I), wherein D is a chromophore group; L is a linking moiety; Q is a quaternized nitrogen derivative; X and Y are independently selected from chlorine, bromine fluorine or hydrogen; A is selected from halogen, preferably chlorine or fluorine; provided that at least one of X and Y is fluorine; and the salts and esters thereof. The reactive dye compounds of the invention exhibit high Exhaustion Values, high Fixation Values, particularly on cellulosic substrates such as cotton, and show significant improvements in terms of reducing spent dyestuff in effluent, increasing dye affinity to the substrate, increasing the dye-substrate covalent bonding, increasing the ability to dye substrates at room temperature, decreasing the amount of dye that is removed during the post dyeing "soaping off process" and therefore simplifying the post dyeing "soaping off process" traditionally associated with dyeing cotton with fibre reactive dyes and reduction of staining of adjacent white fabrics. In addition, the compounds prepared above provide more intense dyeings and require less levels of salt for dyeing cotton substrates.

Abstract: A polyketide synthase ("PKS") of Type I is a complex multienzyme including a loading domain linked to a multiplicity of extension domains. The first extension module receives an acyl starter unit from the loading domain and each extension module adds a further ketide unit which may undergo processing (e.g. reduction). We have found that the Ksq domain possessed by some PKS's has decarboxylating activity, e.g. generating (substituted) acyl from (substituted) malonyl. The CLF domain of type II PKS's has similar activity. By inserting loading modules including such domains into PKS's not normally possessing them it is possible to control the starter units used.

Abstract: A lockable pill container is disclosed including a main body with a plurality of individual compartments for receiving pills. Each compartment has a lid member connected to the main body by a hinge permitting it to be moved between open and closed positions. Each lid member has a downwardly projecting hook member that projects through an opening in the main body when the lid is closed. An elongated locking member is laterally inserted into the main body and transversely moveable relative to the hook members between first and second positions. In the first position, the elongated locking member engages the hook members of those lid members that are closed to lock them in the closed position. In the second position, the elongated locking member does not engage the hook members which may be opened and closed without the locking function. The elongated locking member is normally biased into the locking position by a transverse member that includes a downwardly projecting, externally accessible transverse member. The transverse member is formed from resilient material, which normally biases the elongated locking member to its first or locking position. The user may press the transverse member and thus move the elongated locking member against the bias to the second or nonlocking position. The elongated locking member may be selectively removed from the pill container to render the locking feature inoperative if the pill container is used in an environment where locking is not necessary.
