Abstract: The invention relates to a method for cultivating cell cultures containing a plurality of cells, whereby said method comprises one or several steps including the expansion of the cell culture and the modification of the cells of the cell culture in a culture medium. The aim of the invention is to achieve faster and more regular cultivation in terms of the number of cells present in the culture medium. To achieve this, a cell culture is used, wherein the cells are essentially provided in the form of isolated cells and/or agglomerates with weak cell-cell interactions during said method step. Said interactions can be interrupted by an external influence upon the culture medium without the majority of cells being damaged when they are transferred from the agglomerate to separate single cells. The expansion and/or modification of the cells preferably takes place in culture conditions which at least partially block the cell receptors responsible for creating cell-cell adherences. The culture medium can have a Ca<2>+ concentration of </= 0.5 mmol/1 and /or inhibitors which are specific to the receptors of the cell membrane of the cells that are responsible for cell-cell interactions.

Abstract: A scheme for implementing GFR service in an ATM environment, e.g., an access node's ATM switch fabric. Regulation of a GFR flow is throttled between two modes, a guaranteed rate mode and a non-guaranteed rate mode, depending upon timestamps computed by applicable traffic policer/shaper algorithms. A scheduler is operably coupled to a policing block for scheduling cells from a guaranteed flow queue for transport via the ATM fabric at a guaranteed rate upon determining the onset of a guaranteed service frame. The scheduler switches to non-guaranteed rate mode for scheduling cells from the flow queue at a non-guaranteed rate when a timestamp (TS NGF ) for transmission at the non-guaranteed rate is earlier than a timestamp (TS GF ) for transmission of a next guaranteed service frame at the guaranteed rate.

Abstract: Gas migration from a subterranean zone into a cement is inhibited during cementing by
displacing a gelling additive into the well bore such that the gelling additive passes into the
subterranean zone, and allowing the gelling additive to form a crosslinked gel in the
subterranean zone to inhibit gas migration. The crosslinked gel acts as a barrier to gas in the
subterranean zone and thereby inhibits the gas from passing into the cement and forming flow
channels therein before the cement can set.
