Abstract: The rapamycin gene cluster is an example of a gene cluster which includes a gene (rapL) leading to the formation of a precursor compound (pipecolic acid, in this case) which is required for inclusion in the larger product (rapamycin) produced by the enzymes encoded by the cluster. We have produced a mutant strain containing a rapamycin gene cluster in which the rapL gene is disabled. The strain does not naturally produce rapamycin but does so if fed with pipecolic acid. By feeding with alternative carboxylic acids we have produced variants of rapamycins. Tests have shown biological activity.

Abstract: Flexible, semi-rigid, and rigid vinyl chloride polymer compositions comprising a latent mercaptan-containing heat stabilizer are substantially free from the offensive odour typically associated with mercaptans and are protected during processing by the degradation products of the latent (i.e., blocked) mercaptan which include a free mercaptan. The free mercaptan thus released enhances the activity of metallic-based heat stabilizers such as zinc carboxylates and organotin carboxylates and mercaptides in the polymer composition. Other products of the degradation are believed to include carbocations of the blocking moiety which are stabilized by a molecular structure in which the electron deficiency is shared by several groups. The latent mercaptan is selected from a 2-S-(tetrahydropyranyl)-thioalkanol, a carboxylic acid ester thereof, a 2-S-(tetrahydropyranyl)-thioglycolic acid, and an ester thereof.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a process for the treatment of effluents by means of catalytic oxidation with hydrogen peroxide, using heterogeneous catalysis in the presence of metal pairs with anodic and cathodic characteristics (for instance iron and copper). This process can be applied to the effluents of the food-processing industries (olive oil mills, distilleries, sugar refineries, coffee production, tanneries, etc.). The pre-treated residues can be used as fertilisers or in the production of acetate derivatives. This new process has advantages in economic and environmental terms and allows the self-regeneration of the metals through a process of oxidation/reduction of their ions, which leads to only traces thereof in solution, therefore avoiding the habitual need for a step involving the recovery and/or elimination thereof.

Abstract: For a radar device arranged above a reflecting surface, a method is suggested for estimating the height of an object above the surface. This method does not require a refined angle resolution for the radar antenna and is based solely on the processing of signals. The invention makes use of the appearance of an interference pattern for the radiation field of the radar antenna, which normally is viewed as a disadvantage, by evaluating the intensity modulation of a signal received from an object moving in radial direction to the radar device within the surveillance range. Together with the measured distance to the object, this is used to estimate a value for the height of the object above the road surface.

Abstract: A trailer (2) or caravan for coupling to a towing vehicle is normally composed of a series of different materials which react differently to temperature variations and moisture. Also, their corrosive characterisitics are very different and herewith also their lifetime and thus the lifetime of the trailer. The production of the known trailers with said diverse materials requires considerable working operations, and involves up to several different trade groups in connection with the assembly. With the object of achieving longer lifetime, less weight and herewith greater loading capacity, and also lower production costs, a trailer (2) of the kind disclosed is characterised in that the superstructure (6), the chassis (4) and towing-bar/triangle (8) consist of one and the same self-supporting construction of composite materials comprising external shells between which a core of suitable core material is placed. A method and a mould are also disclosed for the forming of items (16) of PVC-based cellular plastic.
