Abstract: Database tables are unloaded by launching a number of threads corresponding to a number of export directories located on separate storage devices that maintain the database tables. Each thread is assigned a database table to unload, and data unloaded from each database table is stored in a corresponding export directory. The data is unloaded from each database table by reading data storage blocks from each table and storing the data logs in the export directory. Each thread is handled by a separate process in a Symmetrical Multi-Processing (SMP) environment. The process is repeated until each database table has been unloaded. The data is then loaded into database tables by first creating a number of temporary tables corresponding to the number of threads, reading a set of data stored in the export directory and storing the data read in a corresponding of the temporary tables by launching a load process for each temporary table. If at any time either the load or unload process is faulted or becomes inoperative, the processes are stopped and an internal TS reorganization concurrent is performed on each table that has not been unloaded and loaded successfully.

Abstract: A medium for storage and subsequent analysis of a genetic material includes a support for immobilizing the genetic material thereon and allowing subsequent elution of the genetic material therefrom and a coating functionally associated with the support for enabling cellular lysis and releasing the genetic material from the lysed cells while stabilizing the immobilized released genetic material. A method of storing the genetic material and subsequently analyzing the genetic material includes the steps of immobilizing the genetic material on a support while enabling cellular lysis and release of genetic material from the lysed cells and stabilizing the immobilized released genetic material on the support. The genetic material is then eluted to generate a soluble genetic material fraction. The eluted genetic material can be analyzed.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for delivering pharmaceutical agents into cells, in particular urothelial cells of the bladder, are provided. In the methods and compositions of the invention, a solubilized cholesterol composition is used to facilitate delivery of pharmaceutical agents. Preferably, the cholesterol is solubilized by a cyclodextrin (e.g., methyl-β-cyclodextrin) and the pharmaceutical agent comprises a polynucleotide and either a cationic lipid, a cationic polymer or a dendrimer. Improved methods for transfecting polynucleotides into cells thus are also provided, using cationic lipids, cationic polymers or dendrimers and solubilized cholesterol, wherein the transfection efficiency is enhanced compared to use of cationic lipids, cationic polymers or dendrimers alone. Preferred methods of the invention involve transfecting polynucleotides into urothelial cells, preferably for therapeutic treatment of bladder cancer using, for example, a polynucleotide(s) encoding an interleukin(s), an interferon(s), a colony stimulating factor(s) and/or a tumor suppressor(s).

Abstract: Den akustiske isolatorsammenstilling (22) ifølge den foreliggende oppfinnelse omfatter et langstrakt sylindrisk legeme som er egnet til forbindelse til en akustisk oppstilling (18, 22) og etterfølgende plassering i et brønnhull. Ifølge en utførelse av den foreliggende oppfinnelse omfatter den akustiske isolator (22) en flerhet av sylindriske isolatormoduler (28) som er koaksialt anordnet til å danne verktøyets legeme. Hver isolatormodul omfatter en fjær (38) anordnet inne i et ytre hus (40). Separatorisolatormodulene er festet til hverandre ved hjelp av konnektorstenger (52) rundt hvilke det er anordnet en flerhet av metallavstandsstykker (56). Isolatormodulen omfatter videre mekaniske stoppere som begrenser fjærens defleksjon under høy aksial belastning. Disse trekk gjør det mulig for den akustiske isolatorsammenstilling å motstå den høye belastning som kan påføres under loggeoperasjoner. Isolatormodulene (28) kan derfor bære høye trykkbelastninger og strekkbelastninger uten at det skjer skade med permanent deformasjon av fjærene (38).
