Abstract: This invention provides a method of inhibiting HCV infection of a cell susceptible to HCV infection which comprises contacting the cell with an amount of a compound effective to inhibit binding of an HCV envelope glycoprotein to a DC-SIGN protein present on the surface of the cell, so as to thereby inhibit HCV infection of the cell susceptible to HCV infection. This infection provides a method of inhibiting HCV infection of a cell susceptible to HCV infection which comprises contacting the cell with an amount of a compound effective to inhibit binding of an HCV envelope glycoprotein to a DC-SIGNR protein present on the surface of the cell, so as to thereby inhibit HCV infection of the cell susceptible to HCV infection. Compounds of the present invention inhibit HCV infection of cells susceptible to HCV infection. The compounds of the present invention preferably have specificity for preventing or inhibiting infection by HCV and do not inhibit infection by other viruses, such as HIV, that may utilize DC-SIGN or DC-SIGNR for infection. Moreover the compounds of the present invention preferably do not interfere or inhibit members of the immunoglobulin superfamily, in particular, the compounds do not interfere with ICAM-2 or ICAM-3 or with ICAM-2-ilke, or ICAM-3-like molecules.

Abstract: An obstacle advisory system determines the likely trajectory 16 of a vehicle and possible waypoints 17, 18 and 19 at predetermined intervals  DELTA  chi  along the trajectory 16. The system determines if the trajectory 16 is straight or curved and dependent on this determination uses an associated equation to determine the distance  DELTA  chi  between waypoints 17, 18 and 19 along the likely trajectory 16. <??>For a straight trajectory the interval  DELTA  chi  between waypoints 17, 18 and 19 is calculated by: <DF> DELTA x = 2<SQRT>R<2> - y<2></SQRT> </DF> where R is the radius of a spherical region 20, 21 or 22 around the vehicle and y is the radius of a notional minimum sphere that encloses the vehicle. <??>Then analysis determines whether or not a region 20, 21 or 22 centred around its respective possible waypoint 17, 18 and 19 includes an obstacle. If the region 20, 21 and 22 does not include a obstacle then the system can disregard the volume enclosed by the region 20, 21 or 22 from further analysis thereby saving processing. Alternatively, the system subdivides the region into smaller regions for further analysis and determination as to whether or not the region still includes the obstacle. <??>The results are displayed to an operator of the vehicle. Calculation of waypoints for a likely curved trajectory is also disclosed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Adenovirus types 11p and 4p show a higher binding affinity and infectivity than type 5 for endothelial and carcinoma cell lines. Adenovirus type 11p shows a stronger binding to cells for neural origin, such as glioblastoma, neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma. The fact that adenovirus type 11 has a comparatively low prevalence in society, together with its high affinity and infectivity, makes it very suitable for use in gene therapy.

Abstract: There is described a method of determining the amount of particulate accumulated in a particulate filter (9), based on determining possible variations in the spatial distribution and/or physical-chemical properties of the particulate as a function of engine operating conditions and past particulate accumulation in the particulate filter. More specifically, to begin with, there are determined and memorized in map form a number of reference values ( beta MAP) of a parameter ( beta ) defining a relationship between the amount of particulate (mS) accumulated in the particulate filter (9) and the pressure drop ( DELTA PDPF) across the particulate filter (9), each of the reference values ( beta MAP) relating to a respective steady engine operating condition in which particulate is accumulated in the particulate filter (9). In a given engine operating condition, an operating value ( beta MOD) of the parameter ( beta ) is then determined as a function of the reference value ( beta MAP) of the parameter ( beta ) relative to the same steady engine operating condition, and of past particulate accumulation in the particulate filter (9). And the operating value ( beta MOD) of the parameter ( beta ) is used to calculate the amount of particulate (mS) accumulated in the particulate filter (9). A final corrected value mS_CORR of particulate accumulated in the filter, calculated taking into account the effects of partial regenerations (e.g. NOx-based spontaneous regeneration) and prolonged vehicle disuse ("parking" effect), is used to activate regeneration of the filter. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a facilitated transport membrane for separation of alkene hydrocarbons from hydrocarbon mixtures, comprising a porous supported membrane and a solid polymer electrolyte layer consisting of a transition metal salt and a polymer having double carbon bonds. The facilitated transport membrane according to the present invention is prepared by forming a solid polymer electrolyte layer on a porous supported membrane, in which the solid polymer electrolyte consists of a transition metal salt and a polymer having double carbon bonds capable of selectively and reversibly forming a complex with alkene hydrocarbons. In particular, the polymer matrix allows the transition metal salt to be well dissociated because it contains carbon double bonds capable of forming a complex with an ion of a transition metal. The facilitated transport membrane thus prepared is characterized in that its permeance and selectivity to alkene hydrocarbons is high and in that the complex of a metal and polymer ligand in the solid polymer electrolyte sustains its activity as a carrier for alkene hydrocarbons even under long-term dry operating conditions.
