DNA strand having an ability in biotechnological production of alpha -acetolactate decarboxylase is disclosed. The DNA strand is characterized in that it has a nucleotide sequence coding for a polypeptide whose amino acid sequence is substantially from A to B of Fig. 1 and which has alpha -acetolactate decarboxylase activity. Also disclosed is a yeast which belongs to Saccharomyces cerevisiae an...

The compounds of the formula I wherein Ra,Rb,RcRd are defined in the specification and pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts are disclosed. The compounds of formula I have valuable pharmacological properties and can be used for the control of prevention of illnesses. In particular, they have muscle relevant, seditive-hypnotic, anxiolytic and/or anticonvulsive activity and can acc...

Method of decoding data making it possible to correct certain errors, e.g. in synchronization and transmission. The method relates to decoding data transmitted in groups of blocks. Each block has n1+n2 bits, where n1 is the length of a corresponding information word. The information word is extended to an error protection block of n1+n2 bits by application of a linear error protection code and an ...

An operable variable-volume vented container assembly for use in administering parenteral fluids includes a housing (21) having a chamber (22) for retaining fluid. A distal end portion (25) of the housing has a passageway (26) therethrough for communicating with the chamber. Venting means communicating between the chamber and the exterior of the housing, for allowing air to enter the housing as fl...

There are provided novel (2-imidazolin-2-yl) fused heteropyridine compounds, and intermediate compounds for the preparation thereof, and a method for controlling a wide variety of annual and perennial plant species therewith.

Animal cellular responses, and particularly immune-related responses, are modulated by contacting such cells with a unit dose of a composition containing an effective amount of an isoxanthopterin-8-aldoglycoside. An isoxanthopterin has a structure that conforms to formula (I), wherein R1 is a substituent and R2 is an aldoglycoside.

A process for expressing proteins in Gram(-) bacteria and providing for extracellular secretion thereof, comprising the steps: a) introducing into a Gram(-) bacterium a recombinant DNA construction comprising a promoter, a signal sequence enabling translocation and processing, and a structural gene encoding the desired protein to be expressed; b) cultivating the bacterium under conditions resultin...

A recombinant DNA fragment (Z) coding for an immunoglobulin G binding domain related to staphylococcal protein A. The methionine codon of the recombinant DNA fragment has been replaced with a codon of an amino acid residue other than methionine to enable expression of a methionine-free protein. The present invention is also directed to recombinant DNA sequence containing such recombinant DNAS frag...

Acarbose containing, apart from water, less than 10% by weight of sugar-like subsidiary components is prepared as described and used for preparing medicaments.

The device comprises of a holder (1) for the filter (4). The fixing arrangement (8,6) enables it to be detached from the ventilation opening. The wall parts can be made of elastically movable material to elastically press against the outer surface of the ventilator. The filter arrangement is thus demountably clamped against the ventilator.

The transport package consists of a container combined with a load support. The container bottom has gable ends (6) which lock the support so that this extends through a corresp. recess in the ends in the transverse direction. The inside parts of the ends enclose those of the support. The outside parts (10) extend over the top of them.

The somatomedin-binding protein is joined to a carbohydrate gel.. The chosen medium e.g. plasma is brought into contact with that prepared gel. The somatomedin is freed or eluated from the gel and used. - Pref. the protein is prod. combined with the gel covalently. It is put in a column through which the plasma is passed. Elution is brought about by reducing the pH.

At least one lock component (38) is provided which in its first position engages with a projecting part (22) on the contact (12), locking it to the unit. In its second position, the component frees the contact from the unit. A remote control (32) moving the component between two positions, and comprises a cylinder activated by a pressure medium. - The cylinder supports the lock component which has...

The adjustment foot (1) is adjustable so as to height, and has a connection (7) for a feed-out pipe for a ready-mixed pumped concrete vehicle. It has a circular bottom plate (2) which can absorb and lower point loads from the lower parts of a building shell. The bottom plane or the whole building shell in a housing can be prepared before the bags are filled with concrete. It is important that the ...

An automatic symmetry correction circuit is provided for a symmetrical current chopper. This structure includes two current channels controlled alternately by two signals of frequency f. A resonant LC circuit is tuned to the frequency f and energized by the currents passing through each of the two channels. A control circuit is coupled to the resonance circuit for adjusting the symmetry between th...
