Abstract: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a major problem in the pork industry worldwide.  The inclusion of markers in vaccines will allow for diagnostic differentiation of vaccinated animals from those naturally infected with wild-type virus. Using a cDNA infectious clone of North American Type 1 PRRSV, a recombinant green fluorescent protein (GFP) tagged PRRSV has been made, containing deletion of an immunogenic epitope, ES4, in the nsp2 region. GFP and ES4 epitope-based ELISAs compliment the marker identification.

Abstract: Radar ranging data are collected from a down hole tool at various depths in a fractured well bore, and analyzed to provide a profile of the length of each wing of the fracture as a function of depth. The height of the fracture is determined from the vertical positions where the fracture is just observed or no longer observed as the tool is raised or lowered. For consecutive depths along the fracture (and for selected elevations from each depth for the case of a switchable antenna beam), reflection intensity as a function of range is measured. Simulated radar data are computed from a fracture model having the height of the fracture begin measured. The fracture model is varied and the resulting simulated data are correlated with the survey data until a match of minimal error is determined.

Abstract: The invention relates to a force-transmitting element (2, 2') for non-detachable workpiece connections, having a flange portion (16) and having a transmitting portion (18), wherein the transmitting portion (18) has a substantially cylindrical inner peripheral surface and wherein the wall thickness of the transmitting portion (18) tapers at least in sections from the end close to the flange portion (16) to the end remote from the flange portion (16). The present invention is based on the technical problem of specifying a force-transmitting element by means of which an operationally reliable non-detachable workpiece connection can be obtained despite relatively small dimensions of the force-transmitting element. The technical problem is solved in that the end of the transmitting portion (18) which is close to the flange portion (16) has at least one latching depression (26) on the outer peripheral surface.  The invention also relates to a sliding sleeve (4) for non--detachable workpiece connections, to an arrangement and to a method for producing a non-detachable workpiece connection.

Abstract: A connector comprises a sleeve element and a piston element with a head portion and a shaft portion that is guided by the sleeve element. At least one of the piston element and the sleeve element comprises a thermoplastic material. The connector is anchored in a lightweight building element, having a first and a second building layer, by providing a through hole in the first building layer and inserting the connector through the through hole until at least one of the sleeve element and the piston element rests against the second building layer. Mechanical oscillations are coupled into the piston element while the piston element is pressed towards the second building layer. The mechanical oscillations liquefy portions of the thermoplastic material at an interface portion between the sleeve element and the piston element. The liquefied material flows radially outward, forming a positive-fit connection with the first building layer after re-solidification.
