Abstract: L'invention concerne deux méthodologies. Dans la première, un moyen pour identifier rapidement et efficacement des gènes fonctionnels et essentiels est prévu. Dans la deuxième, un moyen pour produire des molécules nucléiques biologiquement actives (ribozymes, séquences guides externes et antisens) qui peuvent être utilisées pour l'inactivation de gènes fonctionnels. Dans le premier procédé, une banque de séquences guides externes (EGS) à base de toutes les compositions possibles connues est préparée. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, les EGS constituent douze ou treize mères pour cibler l'RNase bactérien pour le clivage d'un substrat. Cette banque est ajoutée à des cellules contenant les gènes à cribler, par exemple, E. coli. Les cellules dans lesquelles EGS provoque une perte de viabilité, ou d'autre phénotype, sont identifiées. La ou les EGS responsables de la perte de viabilité sont analysées, et l'information relative à la séquence résultante est utilisée pour l'identification du gène dans des séquences génomiques connues. Dans le deuxième procédé, les molécules nucléotidiques ayant une activité biologique optimale, par exemple, dirigeant le clivage d'un gène particulier par RNase P, sont rapidement identifiées au moyen d'un vecteur comprenant deux gènes reporters, le premier en phase avec le gène en question et le deuxième permettant de vérifier que le vecteur est présent dans une cellule ou facilitant la sélection de cellules contenant le vecteurs. Les cellules dans lesquelles le gène en question est clivé par la molécule oligonucléotidique fonctionnelle peuvent ensuite être identifiées en fonction du gène reporter 1. Les molécules oligonucléotidiques fonctionnelles responsables sont ensuite isolées et caractérisées. Lesdits procédés constituent des outils puissants pour l'identification de gènes essentiels dont la séquence est connue seulement comme faisant partie intégrante d'un génome à fonction inconnue, ainsi que des moyens d'identification de molécules oligonucléotidiques fonctionnelles, utiles comme réactifs diagnostiques et comme agents thérapeutiques.

Abstract: A system and method for improved water and fat separation in
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is disclosed using a set of low-resolution
images to correct phase errors with overall reduced scan time and post-processing
time and enhanced reliability. Several embodiments are disclosed
whereby reliable water and fat separation is achieved in nearly one NEX, Two
NEX, or Three NEX regular imaging times. In the one embodiment, a regular
image data set having water and fat phase-shifted by 90° is acquired, along
with two low-resolution image data sets where water and fat are phase-shifted
by 0° and 180° are acquired. In another embodiment, two regular image data
sets having water and fat phase-shifted by 0° and 180° are acquired, and a low-resolution
image data set having water and fat phase-shifted by 90° is
acquired. In post-processing, three low-resolution images are reconstructed
and the phase factors for all the pixels with appreciable amounts of both water
and fat are determined. For pixels with a single spectral component or low
SNR, phase factors are obtained in a region-growing process designed
specifically to ensure spatial phase continuity. Once the low-resolution phase
factors are available, they are used either for correcting the phase errors in the
regular image in the One NEX embodiment, or for guiding a binary choice
between two possible solutions from the two regular images in the Two NEX
embodiment. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein besides a reduction
in scan time, the image processing time is also reduced in the proposed
technique due to the use of images with reduced matrix size, increased SNR,
and fewer pixels with single spectral component.

Abstract: A tyre (T) is vulcanised by heating the tyre (T)
from both an outer forming surface (So) of an outer
mould (2) and an inner forming surface (Si) of an
inner mould (3). The inner forming surface (Si) is
divided into a plurality of inner forming surface
portions (Si1,Si1,Si2) in accordance with portions
of the tyre (T), and the inner mould (3) is provided
with heaters (5U,5L,5M) capable of heating the inner
forming surface portions (Si1,Si1,Si2) at different
temperatures. Since the tyre is vulcanised while
varying the heating temperatures from inside of the

is possible to vulcanise each of the portions of the
tyre under optimal temperature condition without
generating uneven temperature between upper and
lower portions, and thus to enhance the performance
of the tyre.

Abstract: A method is provided for predicting a value of a designated rock or fluid property in a subterranean geologic volume. A first predicted value of the designated rock or fluid property is also assigned to a volume of a multi-dimensional, multi-scale model. A first predicted value of seismic response for the model volume is calculated from a response model using the first predicted value of the designated rock or fluid property, wherein the response model is responsive to changes in predicted values of the designated rock or fluid property. A synthetic trace is generated and iteratively compared to the corresponding trace obtained from one or more sets of actual seismic data to determine a difference while consistency is maintained between the types, scales and dimensions of values and data. The first predicted value of the designated rock or fluid property is adjusted in response to the difference to create a second predicted value of the designated rock or fluid property, wherein the second predicted value generally reduces the difference.
