Abstract: Disclosed is an Environmentally Limited Viability System (ELVS) for microorganisms based on temperature differences between permissive and non-permissive environments. Viability of the microorganisms are limited to the permissive environment by specifically expressing one or more essential genes only in the permissive environment, or expressing one or more lethal genes only in the non-permissive environment. Environmentally Limited Viability Systems are also disclosed involving coordinate expression of a combination of required genes and lethal genes. Microorganisms containing an Environmentally Limited Viability System are useful for release into a permissive environment. Temperature regulated Environmentally Limited Viability Systems are particularly suited for use with recombinant avirulent Salmonella vaccines by limiting their growth to the warmer environment inside the host. Such vaccines can be administered to protect humans or warm-blooded animals against bacterial, viral, mycotic and parasitic pathogens, especially those that colonize on or invade through mucosal surfaces. This antigen delivery system can also be used for expression of gamete-specific antigens to induce immune responses to block fertilization, or to induce immune responses to tumor antigens. In the event that an individual sheds live vaccine into the environment, the presence of the ELVS prevents survival of the vaccine. When environmentally regulated lethal genes are present on an extrachromosomal element and are regulated by chromosomal genes, transfer of the extrachromosomal element to other microorganisms will be limited by unregulated expression of the lethal genes in the recipient microorganism.

Abstract: The invention is a method and device for the combined treatment of sewage an/or waste water and biodegradable garbage. The treatment method for the liquid phase of the waste is mechanical treatment (rake, sand, trap, etc.), including fat and grease removal, primary aerobic treatment (BOD5 and COD removal and nitrification), secondary anaerobic treatment (Denitrification, Phosphorus removal) (8) and tertiary treatment before sterilisation. The treatment method for the biodegradable garbage from which the wooden compounds have been removed together with the different sludges (raw sewage sludge or primary sludge, secondary sludge from the primary treatment, tertiary sludge from the secondary treatment) is primary treated anaerobically in a hydrolysis device (9), secondary together with the fats and grease ananerobically in a methane fermenting device (11), tertiary aerobically in draining and/or drying device (13) and at least aerobically composted with the shredded wooden compounds in a composting device. The locally available natural energies (solar thermal energy, gravity) as well as the energy produced by the method and device itself (gassing pressure, aerobic catabolic excess heat) are used for the functions of the plant to avoid costly machinery. The plant is preferably designed as a compact tower, using the fucntional principle of fixed dome plants for ananerobic fermentation.

Abstract: A method of treating a tumor (in particular osteosarcoma or Ewing's sarcoma) in a host by administering to a host or to the tumor cells an agent which inhibits cyclin G1 protein in an amount effective to inhibit cyclin G1 protein in tumor cells of the host. The agent may be an antisense polynucleotide which is complementary to at least a portion of a polynucleotide encoding cyclin G1 protein, or an antibody or fragment or derivative thereof which recognizes cyclin G1 protein. Also contemplated within the scope of the present invention are (i) the immortalization of cell lines by transducing cells with a polynucleotide encoding cyclin G1 protein; (ii) increasing the receptiveness of cells to retroviral infection by transducing cells with a polynucleotide encoding cyclin G1 protein; and (iii) the detection of cancer by detecting cyclin G1 protein or a polynucleotide encoding cyclin G1 protein in cells. In addition, the present invention provides expression vehicles, such as, for example, retroviral vectors and adenoviral vectors, which include polynucleotides which encode agents which inhibit cyclin G1 protein, and expression vehicles which include a polynucleotide encoding cyclin G1 protein.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a liquid jet recording head includes a first process of forming an ink flow passage pattern on a substrate by a resin layer; a second process of forming a covering resin layer to cover a resin layer on the resin layer; a third process of forming an ink discharging port pattern by a material having resistance to an oxygen plasma on the surface of the covering resin layer; a fourth process of forming ink discharging ports by dry etching the resin layer by the application of the oxygen plasma with the ink discharging port pattern as a mask; and a fifth process of eluting the resin layer. This method enables the ink discharging ports to be formed without cutting the substrate and at the same time, the distance between the ink discharging pressure generating elements and the orifices to be controlled rigidly; hence making it possible to manufacture a liquid jet recording head having a stabilized discharging characteristic. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a constituent or a condition in a medium. Living muscle cells are immersed in the medium. The muscle cells are sensitive to the constituent or condition and respond to exposure to the constituent or condition by physical movement. An optical measuring device measures the physical movement of the muscle cells and correlates the physical movement to a level of or a change in the level of the constituent or condition in the medium. The medium may be human tissue, with the muscle cells subcutaneously implanted therein. In one embodiment, a light source transmits a light beam toward the muscle cells. A reflector mounted to the muscle cells reflects the light beam, with the reflection angle varying with the physical movement of the muscle cells. A detector detects a change in the reflection angle and a processor correlates the change in the reflection angle to a change in the level of the constituent or condition in the medium. In an alternative embodiment, a photodetector detects the amount of light transmitted through and/or around the muscle cells. Electrodes may be attached to the muscle cells for stimulating the physical movement of the muscle cells. The muscle cells may be enclosed within a capsule. The capsule includes a portion that is transparent to light so as to enable movement of the cells to be monitored.
