Abstract: The method for detection of danger from stray currents arising from railway lines with a direct current supply and an earth return rail. According to the method the voltage between the rails of the railway line, which act as the electricity return path, and earth is measured at a number of points along the railway line and transferred to a central evaluation point, where the measured values are compared with a reference value. An independent claim is made for a second method for detecting stray currents in which a short circuit switch is used to generate a second parallel path for return of the supply current. The current amplitude in the parallel path is measured and if it differs from a reference value a stray current is indicated and corresponding increased danger.

Abstract: This invention provides methods whereby taxol, baccatin III, and other taxol-like
compounds, or taxanes, can be produced in very high yield from all known  Taxus 
species, e.g.  brevifolia, canadensis, cuspidata, baccata, globosa, floridana,
wallichiana, media  and  chinensis.  Particular modifications of culture conditions
(i.e. media composition and operating modes) have been discovered to enhance the
yield of various taxanes from cell culture of all species of  Taxus.  Particularly
preferred enhancement agents include silver ion or complex, jasmonic acid (especially
the methyl ester), auxin-related growth regulators, and inhibitors of the
phenylpropanoid pathway, such as 3,4-methylenedioxy-6-nitrocinnamic acid. These
enhancement agents may be used alone or in combination with one another or other
yield-enhancing conditions. While the yield of taxanes from plant cell culture of
 T. chinensis  is particularly enhanced by use of one or more of these conditions, yield
of taxanes for all  Taxus  species has been found to benefit from use of these
conditions.
