Abstract: Described is a method for providing improved liquid-solid separation performance in liquid particulate dispersion systems. The method comprises adding to a liquid system containing a plurality of finely divided particles (i) from about 22.7g to about 4.54kg per 907kg (about 0.05 to about 10 pounds per ton), based upon the dry weight of the particles, of an ionic, organic cross linked polymeric microbead preferably with a diameter of less than about 500 nm, and (ii) from about 22.7g to about 9.07kg per 907kg (about 0.05 to about 20 pounds per ton), same basis, of a polymeric material selected from the group consisting of polyethylenimines, modified polyethylenimines and mixtures thereof. Described are further compositions comprising the components mentioned above. Additives, such as organic ionic polysaccarides (eg a starch), may also be combined with the liquid system to facilitate separation of the particulate material therefrom. The compositions are especially useful in a process for making paper.

Abstract: Chemiluminescent bioassays for the presence or concentration of an analyte in a sample use 1,2-dioxetanes as substrates for the enzyme of an enzyme complex that bind to the analyte. The chemiluminescence obtained from the decomposition of the dioxetane triggered by the enzyme through the formation of the corresponding 1,2-dioxetane oxyanion of the enzyme complex is enhanced by the addition of TBQ as an enhancement agent. Other polymeric quaternary onium salts can be used as enhancement agents in conjunction with enhancement additives which improve the ability of the enhancement agent to form hydrophobic regions in the aqueous sample, in which regions the 1,2-dioxetane oxyanion and its chemiluminescent decomposition products can be sequestered. A kit for performing such assays is also provided.

Abstract: A speech compression system called "Transform Predictive Coding", or TPC, provides for encoding 7 kHz wideband speech (16 kHz sampling) at a target bit-rate range of 16 to 32 kb/s (1 to 2 bits/sample). The system uses short-term and long-term prediction to remove the redundancy in speech. A prediction residual is transformed and coded in the frequency domain to take advantage of knowledge in human auditory perception. The TPC coder uses only open-loop quantization and therefore has a fairly low complexity. The speech quality of TPC is essentially transparent at 32 kb/s, very good at 24 kb/s, and acceptable at 16 kb/s. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A plurality of materials are rolled in an upstream stand (10). While transfer speed of a succeeding material and the front end position thereof are detected, the transfer speed and the rear end position of a preceding material are detected by a measuring roll (28). The transfer speed of the succeeding material is controlled by adjusting at least the drive speed of the pinch rolls (27) so as the front end of the succeeding material to contact with the rear end of the preceding material at a specified position in a travelling welder (24). The rear end of the preceding material is joined with the front end of the succeeding material by flash-butt welding using the travelling welder (24) to form a continuous material while letting the travelling welder (24) move at a speed synchronous with the transfer speed of the continuous material. The welded portion on the continuous material is ground and/or cut to remove burr therefrom. After removing the burr, the continuous material is continuously rolled by a down-stream stand (11), and apparatus for carrying out the above-described method. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Embodiments of a remediation reactor and mixer/contactor blade for the reactor are shown and described, the reactor being for containing a liquid slurry, suspension or settled bed of solid particles containing microorganisms. Inside the vessel is a supply conduit and at least one generally horizontal stirrer blade in fluid connection with the supply conduit. The stirrer blade is a mixer/contactor which has a leading side having openings through which fluid may pass. The stirrer blade rotates in the vessel, and this rotation is made easier by the hydraulic forces of fluid flowing out from the stirrer blade. The flowing fluid creates a fluidization zone in the slurry, suspension or settled bed at or near the leading edge of the stirrer blade. The fluidization zone is less dense than the rest of the sediment bed, and the stirrer blade tends to rotate into the fluidization zone. This way, controlled rotation of the stirrer blade may be created near the bottom of the vessel, enhancing mixing of the microorganisms with the slurry, suspension or settled bed in the vessel, without unnecessarily damaging the microorganisms, especially when the flowing fluid contains contaminants which are nutrients for the microorganisms. Also, shown and described is a vessel which incorporates a mixing blade through which a gas and/or a liquid is recirculated. The mixing blade is rotated through a sand layer or other settled bed of solid particles, which acts as a medium supporting microbial growth and/or as a filter to remove particulate matter from the vessel effluent which is drawn off from below the settled bed layer. Fluid recirculation aids in the fluidization of the filter medium and allows for intermittent operation with a significant reduction in energy and operating costs. The vessel may be operated as an aerobic bioreactor by recirculating air or as an anaerobic bioreactor by recirculating an inert gas.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to mechanisms of gene expression in plants and more specifically to regulation of expression of genes in plants in a "tissue-preferred" manner. A method for isolation of transcriptional regulatory elements that contribute to tissue-preferred gene expression is disclosed. Transcriptional regulatory elements isolated using the methods of this invention are demonstrated to direct tissue-preferred gene expression of genes within certain tissues of a plant. DNA molecules representing tissue-preferred transcriptional regulatory elements, vectors comprising said DNA molecules and transgenic plants comprising said vectors are demonstrated. These transcriptional regulatory units are utilized to drive tissue-preferred expression of a gene that confers a selective advantage upon a plant.
