Abstract: Avian cDNA nucleotide sequences for use as hybridization probes are provided. Probes derived from the sequences find use in defining the sex of a bird, usually by producing hybridization patterns that are sex-specific for most avian species. For a given avian species the probes may hybridize to both Z and W chromosomes so as to differentiate between the two chromosomes on the basis of restriction fragment length polymorphisms. Alternatively, the probes may hybridize exclusively to one of the two sex chromosomes in some species. The hybridization probes taught are also useful for the isolation of other nucleotide sequences that may be used to generate sex-specific hybridization patterns.

Abstract: Procédé de détermination de petites quantités d'oxyde de carbone et d'oxydes nitriques dans des mélanges gazeux contenant de l'oxygène, à l'aide d'un capteur dont la résistance électrique se modifie à température élevée en fonction de la concentration d'oxyde de carbone et d'oxydes nitriques. Ledit procédé est fondé sur le principe que si on utilise les capteurs appropriés, la courbe température-résistance électrique de l'un des gaz à analyser diffère sensiblement sur une large plage de températures de la courbe du mélange de référence (mélange gazeux ne comportant aucun des deux gaz à analyser), et que les courbes température-résistance électrique des deux gaz à analyser soient proches l'une de l'autre dans une partie de cette plage de températures, ou qu'elles coïncident, et qu'elles marquent un écart certain dans une autre partie de ladite plage.

Abstract: Twin axle drive or connection of two twin axle drives which save on overall height and mass in the short powerflux of the perpendicular loading and ensure, when travelling in a tight bend in the track, the necessary rotation angle with an acceptable rotation resistance and ensure transverse play better than a link suspension. According to the invention, the object is achieved in that the leaf springs (10) are coupled at their ends to the wagon stays to the side of the lateral members (3). A support pendulum (14) is supported on the spring collar (11) of the leaf springs (10) and rolls with the necessary resistance in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle without restoring force and thus brings about the necessary restriction on rotation. In the transverse direction, the restoring force and transverse restriction required for transverse play is produced by the design of the crowned rolling segment of the support pendulum (14). In the connection of two twin axle units, steering is effected by a Beugniot lever. Both axle units are connected to a transverse coupling. The invention is preferably suitable for use with low-level wagons (1) with a continuous floor height and small wheels. <IMAGE>
