Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for processing soybean (or soya) material, which is mainly a mixture of soybean hypocotyls and soybean cracks. In particular, the present invention provides a method for separating a soybean hypocotyl fraction from a soybean crack fraction based on a difference in form, by subjecting said soybean material to a centrifugal force, preferably by use of an indented cylindrical device. On beforehand, it is preferable to remove the main part of the soybean hulls, soybean cotyledons, whole soybeans, and the larger soybean crack fraction from the soybean material by means of traditional separation methods based on differences in size and/or weight (e.g. aspiration). The invention also provides a soybean hypocotyl concentrate and uses thereof, e.g. for the preparation of a soybean hypocotyl (or germ or embryo) oil and/or food products.

Abstract: A first network element that is to be coupled with a second network element over a first network in the same domain is described. The first network element includes a connectivity check detection module and a connectivity check fault state change module. The connectivity check detection module detects, according to a first protocol, a connectivity status of a local maintenance endpoint on a second network changing between not active and active. The connectivity check fault state change module creates and sends a first fault state change message, according to a second protocol, in response to the connectivity status of the local maintenance endpoint changing from not active to active instead of forwarding connectivity check messages periodically received by the first network element to a remote maintenance endpoint coupled to the second network element over a third network.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods related to the isolation and identification of the novel primate T-lymphotropic viruses, HTLV-3 and HTLV-4. The diversity of HTLVs was investigated among central Africans reporting contact with NHP blood and body fluids through hunting, butchering, and keeping primate pets. Herein it is shown that this population is infected with a variety of HTLVs, including two novel retroviruses; HTLV-4 is the first member of a novel phylogenetic lineage that is distinct from all known HTLVs and STLVs; HTLV-3 falls within the genetic diversity of STLV-3, a group that has not previously been seen in humans. The present invention also relates to vectors and vaccines for use in humans against infection and disease. The invention further relates to a variety of bioassays and kits for the detection and diagnosis of infection with and diseases caused by HTLV-3 and HTLV-4 and related viruses.
