Abstract: Currently, the circularization of small RNAs is broadly regarded as an obstacle in ligation-related assays and explicitly avoided while short lengths of linear RNA targets is broadly recognized as a factor limiting use of conventional primers in PCR-related assays. In contrast, the disclosed invention capitalizes on circularization of small RNA targets or their conjugates with oligonucleotide adapters. The circular RNA templates provide amplification of the target sequences via synthesis of multimer nucleic acids that can be either labeled for direct detection or subjected to PCR amplification and detection. Structure of small circular RNAs and corresponding multimeric nucleic acids provide certain advantages over current methods including flexibility in design of conventional RT and PCR primers as well as use of 5′-overlapping dimer-primers for efficient and sequence-specific amplification of short target sequences. Our invention also reduces number of steps and reagents while increasing sensitivity and accuracy of detection of small RNAs with both 2′OH and 2′-OMe at their 3′ ends. Our invention increase sensitivity and specificity of detection of microRNAs and other small RNAs with both 2′OH and 2′-OMe at their 3′ ends while allowing us to distinguish these two forms from each other.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for fractionation of compounds which in essentially non-polar solvents form mixed or co-micelles and hence cannot normally be fractionated by membrane filtration. By dissolving a mixture of such compounds in a solvent system in which selective micelles formation occurs, and contacting the solution under pressure with a semipermeable membrane to separate the mixture into a permeate and a retentate, fractionation of the compound mixture can be achieved, i.e. a fraction enriched in one of said compounds can be recovered from the permeate and/or the retentate by removing solvent therefrom. The new process is in particular useful for fractionating phosphatides-containing mixtures into a fraction enriched in phosphatidyl choline by ultrafiltration of a solution of the mixture in a solvent system comprising an essentially non-polar solvent and a polar solvent, e.g. hexane-ethanol, etc., through a semipermeable membrane, and recovering a fraction enriched in phosphatidyl choline from the permeate. A fraction enriched in phosphatidyl inositol can be recovered from the retentate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for regenerating by crystallization on cooling picking bath solutions based on sulphuric acid or hydrochloric acid and used for pickling iron, steel and other iron alloys. According to the invention the bath solution is regenerated in a combination of three stages. In a first stage acid is added to the solution in a concentration higher than the acid concentration of said solution, and the content of phosphoric acid is adjusted to be maintained between about 0.01 and 1 mole per litre solution, thereby to approach or to exceed the solubility of difficultly dissolved iron salts corresponding to the acid. In a second stage the solution is cooled, whereby iron salts precipitate. The cooling process is effected so as to reach a temperature at which the contents of iron and acid in the residual solution are suitable to permit said solution to be used again for pickling purposes. In a third stage the precipitated iron salt is removed from the solution, whereafter the regenerated pickling solution is returned for use at the pickling process.

Abstract: According to the method for the controlled transmission of heat from a primary steam circuit (010), the supply (04) of the consumer (2) is effected at a certain pressure whereas the return (02) is at a lower pressure. In order to allow the steam pressure of the steam circuit to be used and thus to obtain the driving power for the supply (04) of the consumer during the heat transmission from the primary steam circuit (010) to the heat consumer, the steam taken from the steam circuit (010) is cooled to condensation according to the heat consumption of the consumer (2), by drawing off heat by means of a secondary medium and by maintaining a certain overpressure with respect to the supply pressure of the consumer. Then, the overpressure is reduced in a jet pump (8) to the supply pressure by producing the driving power for the supply (04), and the secondary medium heated by the cooling of the steam is mixed with the supply.

Abstract: A closure cap for opening and closing a discharge passage extending from the interior to the exterior of a container of flowable material, e.g. a cream liquid, comprises two members (28, 42, 44) in sliding, telescopic interconnection with the interior of each member providing a duct (32, 45) which forms a part of the discharge passage. One of the members is mounted stationarily on a lid (26) for closing the container and the other of the members is mounted on the spout (39) defining forward portion (38) of a lever (22) mounted on the lid for pivotal movement between sealing and dispensing positions in which the forward portion (38) of the lever (22) is moved towards and away from the lid. The forward portion is interconnected to the rearward portion (40) of the lever (22) by a hinge, which provides translation motion to he forward portion of the lever and the other member (42, 44) upon the rearward portion of the lever being pivoted to maintain such members (28, 42, 44) in fluid-tight engagement to prevent the flowable material from escaping therebetween and accumulating on the closure cap. One of the two members may be provided with a resilient member (34) for being compressed upon relative movement between the two members. The resilient member upon being compressed applies force to the other of the two members (28, 42,44) to force the two members into engagement to close the discharge passage upon the lever being pivoted into the sealing position.

Abstract: A tensioning device includes a tensioning frame having stretcher bars disposed in parallel pairs and displaceable relative to one another, on which bars the edges of a piece of fabric can be clamped. Each stretcher bar has two cooperating clamping devices which extend over the entire length of the stretcher bar, each device being formed by a tube of elastic material adapted to be pneumatically or hydraulically pressurized. Each tube is held in aligned grooves in a closed row of longitudinally movable runners. The clamping force obtained through pressurization acts at every point over the entire length of the clamped edge of the piece of fabric. The elongation of the tubes, which can be increased by gradually raising the pressure, follows the stretching of the piece of fabric during the tensioning operation. The runners move apart during this process, but without losses of tension occurring because of the resulting gaps. Uniform tensioning of the pieces of fabric in line with the threads is thus possible.
