Title: Phagocytic activity as a marker of synucleinopathic disease
Inventor: GARDAI SHYRA
IPC: G01N33/48
Filed: 2011-11-23
Abstract: The invention provides methods of screening for agents useful in treating or prophylaxis of synucleinopathic disease, methods of diagnosis or prognosis of the same and methods of treatment and prophylaxis. The invention is based in part on the result that cells with phagocytic activity from subjects with synucleinopathic disease have increased levels of alpha synuclein and reduced phagocytic activity and that these processes can be reversed (i.e., synuclein levels decreased and phagocytic levels increased) by treatment with IL-4 among other agents. The increase in phagocytic activity is readily amenable to detection and provides a basis for a screening assay in which an agent is contacted with phagocytic cells and the effect of the agent on phagocytic activity is detected, which is an indicator that the agent has the ability to reduce alpha synuclein levels.

Title: High pressure fossil fuel oxy-combustion system with carbon dioxide capture for interface with an energy conversion system
Inventor: ZANGANEH KOUROSH ETEMADI
IPC: F23J15/00
Filed: 2011-05-24
Abstract: A combustion system for operational connection to an energy conversion system and a method of providing thermal energy to the energy conversion system. The system comprises a combustor to be oxy-fired at above atmospheric pressure, using solid, liquid or gaseous fuels, with a supply of oxygen and supercritical carbon dioxide. The combustion gases from the combustor are delivered to a heat exchanger which interfaces with the energy conversion system. Temperatures in the combustor, and the delivery temperature to the heat exchanger, are controlled by selective recirculation of at least part of the combustion gases to the combustor, and by modulating the supply of oxygen and fuel to the combustor. Any combustion gases which are not recirculated are processed to separate carbon dioxide for use or sequestration. The system and method substantially eliminate emissions of carbon dioxide, while providing a highly efficient supply of thermal energy to the energy conversion system.
