Abstract: Amphipathic lytic peptides are ideally suited to use in a ligand/cytotoxin combination to specifically inhibit cells that are driven by or are dependent upon a specific ligand interaction; for example, to induce sterility or long-term contraception, or to attack tumor cells, or to selectively lyse virally-infected cells, or to attack lymphocytes responsible for autoimmune diseases. The peptides act directly on cell membranes, and need not be internalized. Administering a combination of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) (or a GnRH agonist) and a membrane-active lytic peptide produces long-term contraception or sterilization in animals in vivo. Administering in vivo a combination of a ligand and a membrane-active lytic peptide kills cells with a receptor for the ligand. The compounds are relatively small, and are not antigenic. Lysis of gonadotropes has been observed to be very rapid (on the order of ten minutes). Lysis of tumor cells is rapid. The two components -the ligand and the lytic peptide- may optionally be administered as a fusion peptide, or they may be administered separately, with the ligand administered slightly before the lytic peptide, to activate cells with receptors for the ligand, and thereby make those cells susceptible to lysis by the lytic peptide. The compounds may be used in gene therapy to treat malignant or non-malignant tumors, and other diseases caused by clones or populations of "normal" host cells bearing specific receptors (such as lymphocytes), because genes encoding a lytic peptide or encoding a lytic peptide/peptide hormone fusion may readily be inserted into hematopoietic stem cells or myeloid precursor cells.

Abstract: An improved cobalt-base braze alloy composition and method for diffusion brazing are provided for use in repairing superalloy articles. The improved cobalt-base braze alloy composition includes nickel; at least one element selected from the group of rhenium, palladium, and platinum; at least one element selected from the group of boron and silicon; and the remaining balance consists of cobalt. This composition may also include aluminum, and the composition may be combined with one or more base metal superally compositions to form an improved diffusion braze alloy mixture. In the improved method for repairing superalloy articles, the foregoing mixture is applied to a region of the superalloy article to be repaired, heated to melt the cobalt-base braze alloy and join the base metal superalloy particles together and the entire mixture to the region being repaired, and subjected to a diffusion braze heat treatment cycle in order to break down undesirable phases and to diffuse the melting point depressants into the mixture. After cooling, an environmental coating is applied to the final repair composite, which composite significantly improves the cyclic oxidation resistance of the coating compared to the properties of the superalloy base metal.

Abstract: A "pivot" operation rotates the data items in a relational database table so that certain data values in the table become column names of the pivoted table, and the data items of a specified value column appear in corresponding rows in the new columns of the pivoted table. A pivot list specifies that only certain values of the pivot column data items participate in the operation. Additional columns of the input table appear as columns in the output table; the rows of the output table are grouped by equal data-item values in these grouping columns. An "unpivot" operation provides the inverse of the pivot operation. Both operations may be nested in an SQL user query at the algebraic level. The operations occur in the search engine of a relational database management system, and may also be invoked as part of an optimization of another query.
