A process for controlling a gas phase polymerisation reaction in a reactor when changing from a first product (i) made at a first set of conditions to a second product (ii) made at a second set of conditions, comprises: (a) comparing (i) and (ii) reaction temperatures, and changing the product reaction temperature set point to the (ii) reaction temperature if this is lower than the (i) reaction te...

The invention relates to an agent specific for peripheral sensory afferents. The agent may inhibit the transmission of signals between a primary sensory afferent and a projection neuron by controlling the release of at least one neurotransmitter or neuromodulator from the primary sensory afferent. The agent may be used in or as a pharmaceutical for the treatment of pain, particularly chronic pain.

The invention relates to a method for the treatment of (raw) sewage in a package plant consisting of three bioreactors in series. The treatment is being carried out using three types of biomass. In a first step (3,4) phosphate is removed by biological means and, at the same time, the chemical and biological oxygen demand is lowered in a highly loaded active sludge system, in a second step (10) a n...

The feed-out device is arranged on a spreader for sand, salt, etc., and at the sloping vessel feed-out opening is arranged a gap blade, between when and a bottom plate or roller material can pass. The gap blade (4) is fixed to links (8) at opposite ends articulated around a rotary point (1) and suspended at the top (3) in a chain (2) or wire. The gap blade limits the outflow of material between it...
