Abstract: An indirectly prestressed concrete roof-ceiling construction is a prefabricated element for constructing large-span industrial buildings. The construction includes a distinctly wide and thin concrete soffit plate and an upper concrete girder of an inverse "V"-shaped cross section, interconnected by slender steel pipe-rods that are used to stabilize the upper girder against lateral buckling and to prevent the plate and the girder from getting closer or further away from each other. Prestressing of the soffit plate causes compression in the upper girder which passively (indirectly) pushes the ends of the construction, acting on some eccentricity over the center of gravity of the cross section, causing rotation of its ends, bending in that way the soffit plate upwards. There are two efficient methods of prestressing these constructions.

Abstract: The invention relates to enzymes from the specific groups of calpain proteases, which take part in a plurality of metabolic processes, e.g. by acting on the apoptosis, for certain cancerous diseases and during cell migration. The invention also relates to enzymes from the group of metalloproteases which develop, e.g. activities during fertilisation, and take part in blood pressure regulation as ACEs and as collagenases in collagen metabolism. A potential need of such enzymes is mainly covered today by plant and animal sources. Known organisms in which such proteases naturally occur exclusively come from warmer regions, such that a costly heat supply necessitating complex apparatus is required during the production thereof. Organisms comprising enzymes adapted to the cold are known however. The invention thus also relates to nucleic acid sequences coding for a calpain 7 protease and a zinc metalloprotease, which originate from the marine diatoms Fragilariopsis cylindrus adapted to the cold and correspond to SEQ ID No.1, SEQ ID No.2 or functional variants or fragments having at least 8 nucleotides thereof.
