The efficiency of producing liquid products from a cryogenic air separation process using a distillation column system having at least a high pressure distillation column (902) and a low pressure distillation column (904) in thermal communication with each other and in which system the low pressure column (904) operates at a pressure of 60 to 520 kPag (9 to 75 psig) and at least 50% of the feed ai...

Quinolone and naphthyridine antibiotics useful for treating ocular infections by topical administration.

The invention relates to the stated use of the abovementioned compound.

A method is disclosed in which the bare glass fibers are firmly soldered into a solder bath of the splicing device and, after being scored and broken, unsoldered again. To that end, the glass fibers are placed across the solder bath, the solder is heated, and the level of the molten solder is raised above the glass fibers by pressing a slide into the solder trough. The heat supply to the solder ba...

Apparatus for cutting up carcasses in an abattoir, and in particular for cleaving them in two, comprises: a support beam securely mounted on a cleaving carriage via a pivot mount enabling the beam to pivot angularly about a pivot axis extending parallel to the cleaving direction; and adjustment means interposed between the cleaving carriage and the support beam to adjust the angular position of th...

Solvents for salt-gradient anion-exchange separation of nucleic acids, especially double-stranded DNA and especially by liguid chromatography, are improved by replacing NaCl as the eluting salt with any of a wide range of alkyl ammonium salts and can be used to elute nucleic acids in strict order of increasing length, with reduced sensitivity to elution temperature and salt concentration. Anion-ex...
