The force-locking connection between a shaft (1) and driving elements (21) attached to it is improved or achieved via a slight plastic expansion of the shaft in that the driving elements are arranged in groups and connected by connecting sleeves (22) produced so as to be integral with the driving elements. The higher degree of elastic expansion is limited to the region of the connecting sleeves so...

1-Sulfo-2-oxoazetidine derivatives of the general formula (I) wherein R1 is amino group which may optionally be acyiated or protected, X is hydrogen or methoxy, and R4 is azido, a halogen, amino group which may optionally be acylated or a group of the formula -OR5, or -S-S-R5 in which R5 is an organic residue and n is 0, 1 or 2, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a...

An electrolytic cell of the filter-press type which comprises plate-like anodes, cathodes, and gaskets of an electrically-insulating material, and an ion-exchange membrane between each anode and adjacent cathode to form in the cell a plurality of anode compartments and cathode compartments, the gaskets, and optionally the anodes and cathodes, each containing apertures therein which form headers fr...

Compounds having activity in treating or preventing foot and mouth disease are disclosed. The compounds contain a sequence of the formula X-A-Y-B-Z in which A and B are amino acid residue sequences comprising sequences of the foot-and-mouth disease virus VP1 capsid protein serotypes, one of which contains from 18 to 24 amino acid residues and includes the amino acid residue sequence in positions ...
