Abstract: La présente invention a pour objet un procédé et un appareil pour le traitement des eaux usées mettant en jeu une floculation par encapsulation et une réaction biologique accélérée sous aération par micro-piégeage. L'appareil est constitué d'un séparateur d'huile (optionnel), d'un réservoir anoxique, d'un système de pulsation de la boue, d'un réacteur sous aération pour réaction biologique accélérée par micro-piégeage (réacteur de micro-piégeage biologique, RMB), un réacteur de floculation par encapsulation et de polycomplexation (RFEP), un séparateur de boue (filtre, réservoir de décantage ou dispositif similaire) et un dispositif de désinfection par UV (optionnel). Une partie de la boue séparée (boue encapsulée) dans le séparateur de boue est renvoyée vers le RMB en y ajoutant des additifs de micro-piégeage (accélérateurs de MP) pour modifier les paramètres et les propriétés du fluide et augmenter la fréquence de collision et la durée de contact entre la biomasse de la boue et les particules de contaminant présentes dans les eaux usées, ce qui améliore la DBO dans la section aération jusqu'à 8 ~ 15 kg/m3 par jour. Une autre partie de la boue est renvoyée pour être mélangée avec un coagulant utilisé et ajouté dans le RFEP. Le restant de la boue est acheminé vers le réservoir anoxique. L'eau traitée aprés désinfection sous UV (optionnelle) ou après passage dans le RMB est partiellement redirigée et mélangée avec l'influent dans le cas d'eaux usées à BDO et DCO élevées. Dans le RFEP, on ajoute des composés chimiques d'encapsulation (ou encapsulants) et un coagulant pour induire la floculation par encapsulation afin de piéger les particules de contaminant présentes dans les eaux usées. La présente invention peut être utilisée pour le traitement d'eaux usées domestiques et des eaux usées à forte concentration organique provenant de certaines industries. Une partie de la présente invention comprenant le RFEP avec la floculation par encapsulation et le séparateur de boue peut permettre le traitement d'eaux usées industrielles ayant un faible rapport DBO/DCO.

Abstract: Each of an image coding apparatus and an image decoding apparatus uses a motion compensated prediction using virtual samples so as to detect a motion vector for each of regions of each frame of an input signal. Accuracy of virtual samples is locally determined while the accuracy of virtual samples is associated with the size of each region which is a motion vector detection unit in which a motion vector is detected. Virtual samples having half-pixel accuracy are used for motion vector detection unit regions having a smaller size 8×8 MC, such as blocks of 8×4 size, blocks of 4×8 size, and blocks of 4×4 size, and virtual samples having 1/4-pixel accuracy are used for motion vector detection unit regions that are equal to or larger than 8×8 MC in size. As a result, in each of 8×4, 4×8, and 4×4 MC modes, the memory bandwidth required for generating virtual samples can be reduced and both the image coding apparatus and the image decoding apparatus can be simplified.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to compositions and methods for plasmid-mediated supplementation. The compositions and method are useful for retarding the growth of the tumor, and retarding cachexia, wasting, anemia and other effects that are commonly associated in cancer bearing animals. Overall, the embodiments of the invention can be accomplished by delivering an effective amount of a nucleic acid expression construct that encodes a GHRH or functional biological equivalent thereof into a tissue of an animal and allowing expression of the encoded gene in the animal. For example, when such a nucleic acid sequence is delivered into the specific cells of the animal tissue specific constitutive expression is achieved. Furthermore, external regulation of the GHRH or functional biological equivalent thereof gene can be accomplished by utilizing inducible promoters that are regulated by molecular switch molecules, which are given to the animal. The preferred method to deliver the constitutive or inducible nucleic acid encoding sequences of GHRH or the functional biological equivalents thereof is directly into the cells of the animal by the process of in vivo electroporation. In addition, a treatment for retarding the growth of the tumor, and retarding cachexia or the wasting effects that are commonly associated with tumors is achieved by the delivery of recombinant GHRH or biological equivalent into the animal.

Title: 2-o-(.beta.-d-glucopyranosyl) ascorbic acid, process for its production, and foods and cosmetics containing compositons comprising it
Inventor: MAEDA MITSURU
IPC: A23L33/15

Granted: 2011-03-29
Abstract: The present invention provides a novel ascorbic acid derivative as a provitamin C with improved stability in the body and prolonged life in the body compared to conventionally known 2-O-(.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl)ascorbic acid. The composition comprising the novel compound 2-O-(.beta.-D-glucopyranosyl)ascorbic acid has been extracted from plants such as from Ningxia Lycium barbarum L. and/or Lycium chinense Mill. The compositions comprising 2-O-(.beta.-D-glucopyranosyl)ascorbic acid may be enzymatically synthesized using .beta.-D-glucosyltransferase. Pure 2-O-(.beta.-D-glucopyranosyl)ascorbic acid may be produced from such compositions. Alternatively, 2-O-(.beta.-D-glucopyranosyl)ascorbic acid may be produced by chemical synthesis. The 2-O-(.beta.-D-glucopyranosyl)ascorbic acid results in higher stability and a prolonged life of vitamin C when ingested in the body compared to the corresponding .alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl derivative, and is therefore highly suitable as a provitamin C to be used in cosmetics and foods.

Abstract: Disclosed are aqueous conditioning shampoo compositions which comprise an anionic detersive surfactant component; from about 0.025% to about 5% by weight of an water soluble or dispersible, cationic, non crosslinked, deposition or conditioning polymer; the conditioning shampoo may additionally comprise dispersed, liquid, droplets of a water insoluble, hair conditioning agent having a volume average particle diameter of from about 5 microns to about 125 microns. A homopolymer has a cationic charge density from about from about 2 meq/gm to about 4 meq/gm or a cationic charge density of from about 5 meq/gm to about 10 meq/gm; or an average molecular weight of at least 500,000.  A copolymer is formed from one or more cationic monomer units and one or more nonionic monomer units or monomer units bearing a negative charge wherein the subsequent charge of the copolymer is positive. The cationic polymer, in combination with anionic detersive surfactant component and other essential components, provides improved deposition of the conditioning agent on hair or skin, even when the dispersed conditioning agent particles have a volume average particle size of up to about 125 microns. The composition may be applied to skin or hair, and provides improved conditioning performance even without the use of the dispersed hair conditioning agent particles.
