Abstract: A spray generator is provided that generates a spray of droplets by the interaction of opposed jets of fluid. The generator comprises a rigid central member defining a central axis, and fluid passageways formed in a block of material leading to two or more pairs of opposed fluid outlets. The outlets of each pair are separated from each other and arranged to generate opposed jets of fluid along an axis parallel to the central axis. Further, the pairs are equi-angularly spaced about the central axis. The outlets of each pair are maintained in axial alignment with each other and at a predetermined axial spacing from each other by a rigid connection between the central member and the block of material.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method, computer program product and system for adjusting roles in a computer system (100) that launch application services (301-307) by a first user who is assigned to at least one role. A first role (110) calls a second role (150) by reference (111). Both roles comprise representations of applications services (101, 102, 103) and (104, 105). When representations in the second role are modified, for example, application services are added (106, 107), a delta list (112) for the first reference is automatically created to conditionally prevent the first role (110) from referencing to at least some of the modified representations of the second role (150). This is achieved by using a rule database (118) containing rules about application services that are mutually exclusive and checking for conflicts between the representations of the first role and modified, second role. A second user, e.g. a system administrator, can accept or reject automatically created delta entries (114) in the delta list (112). <IMAGE>

Abstract: We have discovered that by using a recombinant viral vector, preferably a pox virus vector having at least one insertion site containing a DNA segment encoding prostate-specific antigen (PSA), operably linked to a promoter capable of expression in the host, a specific humoral and cellular immune response to PSA can be generated. The method preferably comprises introducing a sufficient amount of the recombinant pox virus vector into a host to stimulate the immune response, and contacting the host with additional PSA at periodic intervals thereafter. The additional PSA may be added by using a second pox virus vector from a different pox genus. In another embodiment, additional PSA can be added by contacting the host with PSA by a variety of other methods, including in one preferred embodiment adding PSA. The PSA may be formulated with an adjuvant or in a liposomal formulation.
