Abstract: Selon l'invention, des fragments d'ADN linéaires en double brin contenant un promoteur, une séquence de nucléotides, telle qu'un transgène, de préférence non viral, et une région 3' non traduite, sont administrés au tissu d'un animal par injection directe accompagnée d'électroporation. L'expression à long terme du transgène se traduit par une disponibilité prolongée de protéines, d'hormones ou d'enzymes pouvant manquer chez le mammifère.

Abstract: The invention addresses the field of mobile communications. It relates to a method, network node and computer program for management of cached information within a hierarchical structure. The basic approach is to provide an intelligent mechanism for more dynamic management of the cached contents. In particular it provides a solution for a more efficient utilisation of the storage resources in a caching architecture by caching a single cached copy of the same content on each path from a client to the original source in the hierarchical architecture. This basically means that the cached information is placed as high up the hierarchy as necessary, but that the mechanism is enhanced with the capability to also move the cached information down the hierarchy in case the content is mainly used on a regular base by hosts connected to a part of the hierarchical architecture. The dynamics of the proposed solution foresees also to replicate a cached content to more then one part of the hierarchical architecture. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Chez Caenorhabditis elegans, lin-4 et let-7 codent pour des molécules d'ARN comportant respectivement 22 et 21 nucléotides et servant de régulateurs clés de la synchronisation du développement. Dans la mesure où l'apparence de ces petites molécules d'ARN est régulée au cours du développement, elles sont également désignées par le terme « petits ARN temporaires » (stRNA). Selon la présente invention, il existe beaucoup d'autres molécules d'ARN comportant 21 et 22 nucléotides, appelées micro-ARN (miRNA), chez les invertébrés et les vertébrés, et certaines de ces nouvelles molécules d'ARN, qui sont analogues au petit ARN temporaire codé par let-7, sont très conservées. Ceci implique que les mécanismes de régulation post-transcriptionnels et à spécificité de séquence, dont la médiation est assurée par de petites molécules d'ARN, sont plus communs qu'on ne le pensait.

Abstract: A symmetrically loaded, shallow suspension speaker with stiff diaphragm (404) having a minimum dimension that is greater than the diameter of the magnet (406) that drives the diaphragm (404) thus allowing the suspension (418) of the diaphragm to extend nearly to the bottom of the speaker basket (402) on the maximum inward excursion of the voice coil (412) and diaphragm (404) such that the suspension operational depth is not the limiting factor of the overall height of the speaker. The elements of the suspension system are designed to maximize the spacing between the inner and outer portions of the suspension, thus minimizing the possibility of wobble in the speaker. The speaker design maximizes air movement in a given mounting depth with a configuration that optimizes the operation of the moving parts that complements the fixed mechanical structural configuration of the non-moving parts in either an overhung or underhung configuration. The design also accommodates user replacement of the voice coil (412) or cone.
