Abstract: A method and strand guide for supporting, guiding and cooling casting strands (1) made of steel, especially preliminary sections (2) for girders, which are cooled by injected water (29) and are drawn, serve to prevent cracks, especially surface cracks, from appearing in the microstructure by adapting the cooling conditions of the surface of the strand in the region of the secondary cooling, and serve to prevent undercooling of the strand shell, wherein in order to avoid an undesirable solidification structure on the upper flange edges or in other cross-sectional areas, the cooling and support of the beam blank format are so adapted to the solidification range that cooling and support are provided exclusively where a crater is formed. To this end, the casting strand (1) is cooled, by guiding the temperature in a specific manner in upper supporting segments (5, 6, 7), by means of spray-water jets the width of which at least matches the length of the supporting rollers on longitudinal and transversal sides (13, 14) of the cross section (la) of the casting strand, and is decreasingly supported in an analogous manner with respect to the length of the casting path and the cooling state in core areas (15) of the cross section (la) of the casting strand on the transversal sides (14) of said casting strand cross-section (1a) so that cooling occurs exclusively by means of water jets (8) which are oriented towards said core areas (15).

Le liquide provenant de la boue traverse le conteneur de géotextile tandis que ce dernier retient les déchets solides. Il est possible d'utiliser divers conteneurs de géotextile pour filtrer et nettoyer ensuite le liquide. Ce liquide sortant du conteneur de géotextile s'écoule dans un réservoir de liquide, à partir duquel le liquide peut être attiré en vue de son utilisation dans d'autres applications. Pendant ce procédé, les déchets solides sont piégés dans le conteneur de géotextile, où ils sont digérés et se transforment en compost qui peut ensuite servir d'engrais ou d'autres sels nutritifs.

Abstract: The invention relates to the obtention of genetically-engineered antibodies from the P3 (AcM P3) murine monoclonal antibody, which is produced by the hybridoma deposited under number ECACC 94113026 in accordance with the Budapest treaty, and from the 1E10 (AcMai 1E10) anti-idiotype thereof, which is produced by hybridoma ECACC 97112901, with the purpose of obtaining antibodies which have the same recognition properties as the originals but which are less immunogenic. The chimaeric antibodies contain the variable domains of murine immunoglobulin and the constant regions of human immunoglobulin. The humanised antibodies, in addition to containing the constant regions of human immunoglobulin, are modified in the murine frameworks (FRs) region and, in particular, in those areas that can be converted into a T-cell antigenic site, as a result of which some FRS  positions are human. Said antibodies can be used for the diagnosis and therapy of different types of tumours.
