Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé pour tester une plante ou une partie de plante pour la présentation d'une altération de couleur de surface induite par une lésion réduite ou absente par comparaison avec une plante témoin ou une partie de plante témoin. Ce procédé comprend les opérations consistant à : se procurer une plante ou une partie de plante obtenue à partir d'une population de plantes qui présente une variation génétique, en particulier une banque de gènes; facultativement créer une surface de lésion sur la plante ou la partie de plante; faire incuber la plante ou la partie de plante ou des surfaces de lésion créées sur celle-ci pour permettre à une altération de couleur de se produire dans celle-ci ou sur celle-ci; observer l'altération de couleur dans ou sur les plantes ou les parties de plantes; comparer l'altération de couleur observée avec l'altération de couleur qui est observée dans la plante témoin ou la partie de plante témoin pour évaluer si la plante ou la partie de plante ne présente pas d'altération de couleur ou présente une altération de couleur qui est réduite par comparaison avec la plante témoin ou la partie de plante témoin; et identifier une plante ou une partie de plante qui ne présente pas d'altération de couleur ou présente une altération de couleur qui est réduite par comparaison avec la plante témoin ou la partie de plante témoin en tant que plante qui renferme le caractère réduit d'altération de couleur de surface induite par une lésion.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a beverage. Provision of a beverage precursor liquid may be enabled based on initiating closure of a brew chamber that is arranged to at least partially enclose a beverage cartridge. A lid control mechanism may lock a reservoir lid in a position to block access to a reservoir and release the lid to allow access to the reservoir in response to closure of the brew chamber. A reservoir lid may be opened simultaneously and automatically with opening of the brew chamber. The reservoir lid may pneumatically seal the reservoir, e.g., to allow the reservoir to be pressurized to force water to the brew chamber. Water in the reservoir may be provided to the brew chamber in response to detection that the water has been sufficiently heated, e.g., based on a thermal cut off switch opening that cuts power to the heater.

Abstract: A controller for an electric vehicle capable of sensing an idle running/slipping phenomenon during high-speed running in particular, to appropriately control the idle running/slipping. An idle running control unit (1) is equipped with a first tackiness index generation part and a second tackiness index generation part.  For a normal idling state when acceleration instantaneously changes, torque control takes place by a first tackiness index generated by the first tackiness index generation part based on acceleration deviation and velocity deviation. Since the acceleration deviation and the velocity deviation are small for the idle running during the high-speed running, torque control takes place by a second tackiness index consisting of the first tackiness index multiplied by a gain of 1 or smaller generated by the second tackiness index generation part.

Abstract: A method of making a polymer-binder composite, and the composite thus created.  The method employs a high shear device that mixes together polymer with binder, and optionally with additive.  The mixing is accomplished in less than one hour, less than 30 minutes or less than 3 minutes, and done at high shear rates. The shear conditions are defined by scalar shear quantity greater than 250, 1,000 or 1,500, resident time of greater than 0.05, 0.10 or 0.20 seconds, and energy utilized per unit mass of greater than 0.05, 0.10 or 0.20 kW/kg. The composite thus produced can be made with a high percentage of polymers. It can be cooled and cut into pellets that are dry and stable at normal temperatures and which can be stored or transported without heating to secondary mixing locations. The composite pellets are quickly soluble in the additional binder.

Abstract: There is disclosed a molecular composition(s) of a novel tissue protective erythropoietin (EPO) binding receptor protein complex, termed NEPOR. Presence of NEPOR components on a tumour allows EPO to impinge on the survival of associated cells thereby enhancing tumour progression and negatively effecting patient survival. There is disclosed that presence of NEPOR represents a prognostic biomarker for poorer patient outcome. Thus, the method disclosed is for stratifying patients having a tumour as suitable (i.e. NEPOR not present) or non-suitable (i.e., NEPOR present) for EPO treatment, comprising: (a) isolating a tissue sample from an individual who is receiving or is a candidate for receiving erythropoietin, (b) determining the level of expression of the NEPOR gene(s) (mRNA) and/or the presence of the NEPOR gene product (protein) from the isolated tissue, and (c) correlating the presence of an NEPOR gene expression product or the presence of NEPOR protein to a physiological response to the treatment with erythropoietin. Furthermore, by disclosing the molecular compositions of NEPOR species, there are disclosed methods for rationally identifying/designing NEPOR modulating therapeutics. Thus, the present disclosure provides methods for treating neurological insults such as stroke (via enhancement of NEPOR activity) and cancer (via down-regulation of cyto-protective signaling from NEPOR).

Abstract: A system and process for gasifying carbona-ceous feedstock with staged slurry addition in order to prevent the formation of tar that causes deposition problems. Dry solid carbonaceous material is partially combusted, then pyrolysed along with a first slurry stream comprising carbonaceous ma-terial in two separate reactor sections, thereby producing mix-ture products comprising synthesis gas. The second slurry stream comprising particulate carbonaceous material is fed to a drying unit downstream of a heat recovery zone along with the mixture product exiting the heat recovery zone. The result-ing final temperature of the second stage mixture products and dried particulate carbonaceous material is between 450° and 550°F, a temperature range that is typically not conducive to the emission of heavy molecular-weight tar species.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a desalination plant that operates with a sea water or brackish water feed and produces a concentrated and selectively improved salt reject stream and a pure water permeate stream from a first treatment section that is arranged to produce primarily water at high recovery using membrane desalination processes. The reject stream from the first treatment line has a component distribution that is substantially reduced in native di- and polyvalent scaling ions, essentially depleted of sulfate, has substantially higher total dissolved solids than a traditional sea water reverse osmosis reject, yet is suitable for thermal treatment processes. The system may be enhanced by monovalent salt components. The unit may be integrated with a second treatment section, in which the first reject stream is further concentrated, purified, and processed to produce a high purity salt product.
