"Method for manufacturing an element with a synthetic foam layer and element obtained by that method". A method for manufacturing an element with a synthetic foam layer, which is covered on at least one side with a finishing layer, whereby there is started from a layer (1) of substantially flexible mainly open cell synthetic foam which is at least partially impregnated with a liquid comprising NCO...

Mammalian melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is isolated from rat tissue, purified and characterized. These MCH peptides are useful for treating skin disorders, for suppressing the proliferation of skin tumor cells, such as melanomas in mammals, and for modulating the secretion of ACTH. Generally, peptides are provided which have the following formula: or which are naturally occurring h...

Method and Apparatus for Removing a Liquid Phase Floating on a Surface of Groundwater In order to remove a liquid phase (7) floating on a surface of groundwater (6), the liquid level (18) in a well (1) is lowered by continually pumping out groundwater by means of a submergible pump (2). The floating liquid phase (7) thereby collecting on the groundwater surface (6) in the area of the well is withd...

The invention concerns a heating window using the parietal-dynamic effect. The opening frame of a conventional window (22) is fitted with an inner heating over-glazing (9, 10). Air (24, 25) circulates between the glazing of the opening frame and the over-glazing. It penetrates from the exterior through aperatures in the lower section of the opening frame and then emerges into the interior of ...
