Abstract: The invention relates to a method for dewatering of sludge from a pulp, paper or board making process, such as deinking sludge. The method comprises obtaining an aqueous sludge comprising an aqueous phase and fibre material suspended in the aqueous phase. The sludge is subjected to a pre-thickening step where a first part of the aqueous phase is removed from the sludge and to a pressing step where a further second part of the aqueous phase is removed from the sludge. Dry pressed sludge is thus obtained. Before or at the pre-thickening step a polymer composition having a charge density of at the most 1.7 meq/g, preferably at most 1.5 meq/g, more preferably at most 1.1 meq/g, is added to the sludge. The polymer composition comprises a cationic synthetic first polymer, which has a charge density at least 1.0 meq/g at pH 2.8, and a cationic second polymer, which is a copolymer obtained by polymerisation of (meth)acrylamide and at least one cationic second monomer, the amount of cationic monomers being 2 - 19 weight-%, calculated from the total amount of the monomers, the second polymer being polymerised in presence of the cationic first polymer.

Title: Cementitious bio-composite comprising tomato vine by-product
Inventor: HENRY ANDRE
IPC: C04B18/24
Filed: 2017-12-22
Abstract: There is provided a cementitious bio-composite comprising tomato vine by-product and a method of production thereof. Tomato vine by-product was found to surprisingly bind relatively well with cementitious binder even with minimal in-paddock shredding as is evidenced by presented electron microscopy, therefore avoiding intensive mechanical decortication/pulping of prior art processing of other plant fibre types. Furthermore, avoidance of intensive decortication/pulping retains the fibrous structure of the tomato vine by-product fibres and therefore may enhance the performance characteristic of the resultant cementitious mix. Yet further, retainment of the fibrous structure and/or the ductility of tomato vine fibre may address concrete setting-stage hydration shrinkage cracking in standard concrete mixes and may confer adds greater plastic deformation (toughness) to high strength concrete mix. Also, Tomato vine by-product advantageously may have lignin and hemicellulose content as low as 4.15% and 12% respectively and may therefore be relatively stable in cement alkaline environments.

Title: Analysis of autism spectrum disorder
Inventor: HICKS STEVEN
IPC: C12N15/113
Filed: 2018-03-22
Abstract: This application provides methods to differentiate between subjects with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing (TD) or developmentally delayed (DD) subjects using miRNA and/or microbiome levels detected in saliva samples and patient information. The method can be used to monitor the progress of ASD and guide its treatment. RNA-seq, qPCR, or other methods determine counts and abundance of miRNA or microbiomes. MicroRNA and/or microbiome sequencing data are refined by normalization to expression levels or abundance of time-invariant miRNAs and/or microbial RN As to control for time of sample collection or to compensate for circadian fluctuations in these levels. Multivariate logistic regression and nonlinear classification techniques are further used to select a panel of miRNAs and microbiomes that accurately differentiate between subjects with ASD, DD, and TD in subjects with an unknown ASD status. These panels of miRNAs and microbiomes may be developed into a RNA assay kit.
