Abstract: The invention relates to a method for finding nucleotide synthesis inhibitors which have a better therapeutic window. An efficacious dose of a nucleotide synthesis inhibitor is administered to a mammal. The concentration of the nucleotide synthesis inhibitor in the blood of the mammal is observed and it is determined whether the nucleotide synthesis inhibitor has a half-life which is shorter than that of N-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-cyano-3-hydroxycrotonamide. The invention also relates to a method of using nucleotide synthesis inhibitors in the treatment of immunological diseases.

Abstract: Process and reactor for the preparation of ammonia at elevated
pressure and temperature in an ammonia reactor,
wherein a process stream of ammonia synthesis gas is successively
passed through at least three catalyst beds with
intermediate cooling of partially reacted synthesis gas
leaving the catalyst beds by heat exchange in heat exchangers
arranged between each catalyst bed. The process stream
is obtained by combining prior to introduction into a first
catalyst bed, a first feed stream of synthesis gas having
been preheated through indirect heat exchange during the
intermediate cooling of the partially converted synthesis
gas and a second feed stream of synthesis gas for adjustment
of temperature of the process stream. The first feed
stream is passed successively through the interbed heat exchangers
for cooling the partially converted synthesis gas
and space velocity of the synthesis gas is adjusted to be
substantially in the same range in all catalyst beds.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for selecting a destination in a vehicle
navigation system are described. The vehicle navigation system includes
a display and a selection control. A first destination is selected from a
primary list of destinations in response to a selection signal generated by the
selection control. The first destination is placed on a secondary list of
destinations in response to its selection. The secondary list includes
previously selected destinations from the primary list. For subsequent
destination selections, the primary and secondary lists are presented on the
display thereby facilitating selection of destinations from both the primary
and secondary lists. A feature by which the system may search for a
destination across categories is also described.

Abstract: An adsorption/desorption unit includes a hollow enclosure containing one or more elongate hollow elements of activated carbon fiber cloth (ACFC) of appropriate length to cross sectional area to provide suitable electrical resistance for heating. The elements conduct electrical current to heat to a temperature that permits selective adsorption of a gas stream constituent and subsequent desorption to recover sorbate. An enclosure houses the ACFC elements and is arranged to direct gas stream flow through the elements and into and out of the enclosure via gas ports. The ability to heat the elements to a desired temperature by electrical current flow allows for straightforward implementation of selective adsorption. After an adsorption step, altering the temperature of the element or elements enables desorption. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the enclosure with the element also includes a liquid condensate outlet and liquid sorbate is directly recovered as liquid from the same unit used for adsorption and desorption.
