Abstract: Au cours des 50 dernières années, la classe d'antibiotiques des tétracyclines a joué un rôle majeur dans le traitement des maladies infectieuses. Cependant, l'utilisation accrue des tétracyclines chez l'homme et en médecine vétérinaire a fait apparaître une résistance dans de nombreux organismes auparavant sensibles aux antibiotiques à base de tétracyclines. La synthèse modulaire de tétracyclines et d'analogues de tétracyclines de l'invention permet d'obtenir une voie efficace et énantiosélective pour la synthèse d'une pluralité d'analogues de tétracyclines et de polycyclines impossibles à obtenir avec les synthèses de tétracyclines et les méthodes semi-synthétiques antérieures. Ces analogues peuvent être utilisés comme agents antimicrobiens ou comme agents anti-prolifératifs dans le traitement de maladies humaines ou animales.

Abstract: Utilization of resources used to provide a service, and/or costs associated with providing system resources for a service, are tracked in a system where the available resources vary depending on a variety of conditions including resource utilization by other users. The methods are well suited for systems such as mobile communications systems, where the amount of resources and/or costs to a system of providing a service are dynamic and can change on a relatively rapid time scale. Resource unitization is tracked on a per subscriber basis. Service charges can be determined as a function of both the amount of resources consumed and the amount of data delivered, with the amount of resources being used to deliver a fixed amount of data units varying as a function of environmental and/or other conditions. Service charges are sometimes determined as a function of the impact of providing the service to a first user on other system users.

IPC: A23L19/00
Filed: 2007-04-03
Abstract: A method of producing a liquid fermentation product using a natural protein concentrate from a non-cereal grain source in place of protein derived from malted grains is provided.  The natural protein concentrate can be directly used, in addition with a carbohydrate source, to produce a wort suitable for fermentation, thus avoiding the malting and mash mixing steps in traditional brewing methods. The wort requires less yeast to initiate the fermentation process than in similar alcohol fermentations, and does not require the addition of yeast nutrients. The resulting fermentation product can be processed for bottling without the need for an intervening storage period. The protein concentrate used in the method can be derived from non-cereal sources such as peas, soy, rice potatoes and other sources of natural protein. Using non-cereal sources also permits the simplified production of a gluten-free fermentation product that can be used in preparing beverages consumable by persons suffering from gluten intolerance.

Abstract: An underlayment sheet (10, 10~) is applied in overlapping courses to a roof deck (36) for establishing a weather-resistant membrane for use as a final exposed surface or below a roof covering (50). The underlayment sheet (10, 10~) has a bottom surface (16, 16~) to which a pressure sensitive adhesive section (22, 22~) is applied generally continuously along its length. A non-adhesive section (24, 24~) also extends the length of the bottom surface (16, 16') adjacent its upper long edge (18, 18~) for providing a contact surface with the roof deck (36) which is devoid of any adhesive material. The non-adhesive section (24, 24~) is attached to the roof deck (36) using tin tags (44, 44~) or other mechanical fastening components. When subsequent underlayment sheets (10, 10~) are applied in overlapping courses, the adhesive sections (22, 22~) bond over the preceding underlayment sheet (10, 10~) to establish a water tight seal. The top surface (14) of the underlayment sheet (10) may include a supplemental bonding strip (30) which adheres directly to the adhesive section (22) of an overlying underlayment sheet (10) to establish a tenacious seal. The top surface (14~) may also be impregnated with a course granular material (52) to serve as a final, exposed surface for the roof in lieu of shingles or the like. If a future re-roofing operation is required, the subject underlayment system can be removed from the roof deck (36) without damaging or delaminating the roof deck (36) material.
