Title: Silica inhibition and blowdown evaporation (sibe) process
Inventor: PEDENAUD PIERRE
IPC: F22B37/54
Filed: 2008-10-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing steam from a silica containing feedwater. Feedwater containing silica is supplied to a boiler, generating a steam and a liquid blowdown.

Abstract: The long-term survival of transplanted grafts critically depends on the life-long administration of immunosuppressive drugs to prevent graft rejection. These drugs are very effective at preventing graft rejection, but they are also associated with severe side effects. Inventors have selected a set of genes whose expression characterizes the tolerant state in liver transplantation in humans. Based on the expression level profile of this set of genes, inventors provide a non-invasive method to assess diagnosis and/or prognosis of the tolerant state in liver transplantation in humans, and kits to perform it. These kits are simpler and cheaper than others based on a great number of genes, such as commercial microarrays with thousands of probes.
