Abstract: To perform boom-down operation by operating a boom cylinder (6) by an external load (W) while simultaneously operating an arm cylinder (26) or a bucket cylinder (27) in the state the bucket is off the ground, a first boom directional control valve (2) and a regeneration boom valve (13) are controlled to the neutral position and the open position respectively so that the hydraulic oil is regenerated from a line (9) located at the oil-returning side of the boom cylinder (6) through the regeneration boom valve (13) to a line (5) located at the oil-feeding side. Therefore, the volume of the hydraulic oil that can be supplied from the pressurized oil source (4) to the arm cylinder (26) or the bucket cylinder (27) via the second arm directional control valve (24) or the bucket directional control valve (25) is increased by the amount equivalent to the amount of the oil that is not supplied from the pressurized oil source (4) to the boom cylinder (6). As the circuit according to the invention enables the arm cylinder (26) or the bucket cylinder (27) to work faster, it increases the operating efficiency of the hydraulic excavator when its hydraulic actuators are operated simultaneously. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention provides methods for isothermal amplification of RNA. The methods are particularly suitable for amplifying a plurality of RNA species in a sample. The methods employ a composite primer, a second primer and strand displacement to generate multiple copies of DNA products comprising sequences complementary to an RNA sequence of interest. In another aspect, the methods employ a single primer (which is a composite primer) and strand displacement to generate multiple copies of DNA products comprising sequences complementary to an RNA sequence of interest. In some embodiments, a transcription step is included to generate multiple copies of sense RNA of an RNA sequence of interest. The methods are useful for preparation of nucleic acid libraries and substrates for analysis of gene expression of cells in biological samples. The invention also provides compositions and kits for practicing the amplification methods, as well as methods which use the amplification products.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coated granular material, wherein the coating is a resin, comprising the reaction producing of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of cardol, cardanol or derivatives or oligomers of these compounds with an isocyanate component, and to a method for the preparation thereof. Water-soluble granular materials are suitable as substances to be coated. Examples of granular substances are fertilizers, crop protection agents, insecticides, pesticides, fungicides, drying agents and mixtures thereof. The substance coated according to the invention has advantageous properties since the resin can be applied in a selective and economical manner to the substrates due to its low tackiness. In particular, coated fertilizer granulates are advantageous in that, with regard to the applied amount of fertilizer, they can provide more nutrients to the plant. In addition, fertilizers can be provided that can provide nutrients to the plant over a longer period of time and continuously and they have an exact and reproducible release behavior according to the type of plant to be treated. Furthermore, the polyol component of the coating can be obtained from the renewable raw material cashew nut oil.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for exploitation and liquefaction of natural gas in offshore stranded gas reserves. Two ordinary nautical vessels are used to produce, store and unload LPG and LNG. Typical front end processing is performed on the first vessel. The treated inlet gas is transported to the second vessel where the stream goes through liquefaction and storage until it is offloaded to a transport vessel for shipment. The liquefaction process utilizes two refrigerant cycles that utilize two expanded refrigerants, at least one of which is circulated in a gas phase refrigeration cycle. The refrigerants and the inlet gas stream are transported between the two vessels by the use of piping. Electricity can be generated to provide power for the compression sections of the refrigeration cycles. Turbines, engines, or boilers from the vessels can be used for generating electricity since they are no longer needed for locomotion purposes.
