Abstract: A device, for continuously or semicontinuously casting of metal in a casting mould, for braking and splitting up a primary flow of hot melt supplied to a casting mould, and controlling the flow of melt in the non-solidified portions of a cast strand which is formed in the casting mould. The device comprises a plurality of water box beams which support and cool the casting mould and supply a coolant to the casting mould, and a magnetic brake. The magnetic brake is adapted to generate at least one static or periodic low-frequency magnetic field to act in the path of the inflowing melt and comprises at least one magnet to generate the magnetic field, at least one core to transmit the magnetic field to the casting mould and a cast strand, and at least one magnetic return path to close the magnetic circuit. The water box beam is completely or partially arranged in a magnetically conducting material. A magnetic brake comprises at least one magnetic circuit which comprises the casting mould and the cast strand into a magnetic circuit. The magnet is arranged in a recess in a water box beam. The magnet and the magnetic return path are integrated so that the magnet and the magnetic return path are arranged inside the rear wall of the water box beam.

Abstract: A process for synthesizing disulfides and sulfhydryl compounds which are useful pharmaceuticals. The process includes a two step, single pot process for preparing disulfides from an alkenyl sulfonate salt. The disulfides are useful as toxicity mitigating agents of chemotherapeutic drugs, such as certain platinum complexes, and as use therapeutic drugs for a variety of conditions in mammals. The two step process involves first the conversion of the starting reagent to a mercaptane sulfonate, then an oxidation to the desired disulfide.

Abstract: A method for coating of a fibrous web, e.g. a paper according to which a coating colour with pigments is applied to the surface of the web and dried in order to form a coated web. The invention comprises using a coating colour which contains pigments having a steep particle size distribution, a maximum of 35 % of the pigment particles being smaller than 0.5  mu m. The coating colour is spread on the surface of the web with a coating speed of at least 1450 m/min, preferably over 1600 m/min. The coating pigment having a steep particle size distribution gives rise to a coating colour which solidifies at much lower dry substance than conventional coating colours. In this way coating can be controlled at high speed without runnability and quality problems. The coating colours according to the invention can be used for single coating or as so called pre-coat and surface-coat colours. Preferably the material is double-coated, first with a precoating and then with a surface coating, whereby both coating colours contain pigments having a steep particle size distribution.

Abstract: Fluorescent indicators including a binding protein moiety, a donor fluorescent protein moiety, and an acceptor fluorescent protein moiety are described. The binding protein moiety has an analyte-binding region which binds an analyte and causes the indicator to change conformation upon exposure to the analyte. The donor moiety and the acceptor moiety change position relative to each other when the analyte binds to the analyte-binding region. The donor moiety and the acceptor moiety exhibit fluorescence resonance energy transfer when the donor moiety is excited and the distance between the donor moiety and the acceptor moiety is small. The indicators can be used to measure analyte concentrations is samples, such as calcium ion concentrations in cells.
