Abstract: Disclosed are methods and compositions for the preparation of steroid 5 alpha -reductases by recombinant means, as well as for the use of these enzymes in screening assays for the identification of compounds which have the ability to inhibit or otherwise alter the enzymatic function of these enzymes. Biochemical and pharmacological evidence is presented to demonstrate the existence of more than one human steroid 5 alpha -reductase. The DNA sequence encoding steroid 5 alpha -reductase 2, the major active isozyme of human genital tissue, is disclosed herein, in addition to methods and compositions for its preparation and pharmacological analysis. The sequences disclosed herein may be used directly in the preparation of genetic constructs, or may be employed in the preparation of hybridization probes for the selection of enzyme-encoding sequences from other sources. These sequences may prove useful in an analysis of normal and abnormal sexual differentiation, benign prostatic hyperplasia, male pattern baldness, acne, hirsutism, endometriosis, and cancer of the prostate.

Abstract: A heat exchanger for cooling hot crude gas containing aggressive components and for heating the pure gas obtained from the crude gas has a housing (1) formed by two lateral walls (2, 3) and upper and lower tubular bottoms (4, 5) . Partitions (8, 9) are linked to the lateral walls (2, 3) in order to form an inner cavity. In the upper and lower tubular bottoms (4, 5) are inserted the ends of a plurality of mutually parallel exchanger tubes (10) that extend parallel to the lateral walls. The hot crude gas flows through the exchanger tubes (10) and the pure gas flows through the housing (1) transversely to the exchanger tubes (10). The invention should ensure that the lateral walls of the heat exchangers are better protected against corrosion. For this purpose, an underpressure is applied to the cavities (6) formed between the lateral walls and the partitions, and the noxious gases of the pure gas that diffuse through the partitions into the cavities are fed by a duct into the stream of pure gas. Alternatively, an overpressure can be applied in the cavities formed between the lateral walls and the partitions.

Abstract: Procédé en deux étapes de fabrication d'aérogels transparents ayant une masse volumique inférieure à 0,003 g/cm3 et pouvant dépasser à 0,8 g/cm3, selon un procédé sol/gel par extraction surcritique. On peut diluer un produit intermédiaire d'oxyde de métal condensé obtenu à l'aide de réactif purifié afin de produire des aérogels stables d'une masse volumique inférieure à 0,02 g/cm3, y compris des masses volumiques inférieures à 0,003 g/cm3. L'extraction surcritique directe à haute température des alcogels dilués produit des aérogels hydrophobes stables dans des conditions d'humidité atmosphérique. Les aérogels en silice homogène monolithique de faible masse volumique présentent une capacité élevée d'isolation thermique, une résistance mécanique améliorée et une bonne transparence optique.

Abstract: An apparatus for slicing objects, such as potatoes, with a rotatably mounted knife assembly (21). Objects (such as potatoes) (2,3) to be sliced are conveyed downward toward the knife assembly (21) between a gripper chain (7) and a feed chain (5). A pair of springs provide a biasing force which urges the chains together, thereby ensuring that the conveyed potatoes are fed positively and uniformly toward the knife assembly (21). Preferably, two feed rolls (27) having teeth are mounted between the lower ends of the chains and the knife assembly (each feed roll at the end of a rotating, slidable shaft (23,25)). The teeth of the rotating feed rolls (27) grip each potato conveyed against them by the chains, and force each such potato downward against the rotating knife assembly (21). Preferably, a support and retaining plate (81) is fixedly mounted to the feed mechanism to constrain vertical movement of the feed rolls (27) as they rotate with a potato gripped between them. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and a device are provided to cool an oxide superconductor material using liquid nitrogen to a temperature lower than its boiling point. There are two kinds of cooling, i.e., cooling under reduced pressure and cooling under ordinary pressure. The reduced-pressure cooling device has a coil-accommodating chamber which is a reduced-pressure vessel. The pressure in the coil-accommodating chamber is reduced by a pressure-reducing pump, whereby the liquid nitrogen assumes a temperature of the triple point. The ordinary-pressure cooling device has a cooling portion of the refrigerator in the coil-accommodating chamber, and in which the liquid nitrogen is cooled down to its melting point.

Abstract: An invertor (4) which is connected to a DC source (3) supplies a discharge lamp (11) via an inductor (17) which is connected in series with the discharge lamp (11). A first capacitor (18) is arranged in parallel with the discharge lamp (11). A second capacitor (19), which is connected via a diode (20) to a neutral line (0), is furthermore connected in parallel with the parallel circuit formed by the discharge lamp (11) and the capacitor (18). When a positive current is flowing, a positive voltage is produced from the diode (20), which voltage is stored via a further diode (22) in a storage capacitor (23) which is connected to a control circuit for the invertor (4). Once the voltage on the storage capacitor (23) has reached a desired value, a zener diode 33 and two transistors (29, 30) short-circuit the diode (20) which is connected to the neutral line (0). When a negative current is flowing, the current passes via this diode (20) directly to the neutral line (0). In consequence, unnecessary losses are avoided. <IMAGE>

The triol acid and its lactone form are both inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase and thus useful as anti-hypercholesterolemic agents, and may also serve as intermediates for preparation of other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. Also, in the synthesis of simvastatin by direct methylation of lovastatin, selective hydrolysis of residual lovastatin salt by treatment with Clonostachys compactiuscula ATCC 38009 or ATCC 74178 or mutants thereof or a cell-free extract derived therefrom, or a hydrolase derived therefrom yields the "triol" salt which can be easily separated from simvastatin.
