摘要:
A method for the acid dissolution of LiCoO 2 contained in the cathode of lithium ion batteries, using acetic or tartaric acid as leaching agent, the method being characterized in that it comprises a first stage and a second stage, wherein said first stage comprises the step of separating the cathode components, while said second stage comprises the step of dissolving the pure LiCoO 2 with at least one acid. The method allows achieving an economically viable complete recycling process with low environmental impact.

In another preferred embodiment, the vaccine for the prevention of infections with Bordetella comprises at least outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) of B. pertussis and the lipopolysaccharide of B. parapertussis, excipients and/or adjuvants. The vaccine can comprise between 3 to 20 μg per dose of OMVs from B. pertussis and between the amount equivalent to 107 and 1010 bacteria per dose of lipopolysaccharide of B. parapertussis. The adjuvant can be aluminum hydroxide and other immunogens such as tetanus toxoid, diphtheria toxoid, or combinations thereof. The Tdap vaccine exhibits cross activity.
摘要:
A method of treating a solid tumor in a mammal by inhibiting angiogenesis, comprising administering to the mammal which has a solid tumor selected from the group consisting of breast carcinoma, lung carcinoma, prostate carcinoma, colon carcinoma, ovarian carcinoma, neuroblastoma, central nervous system tumor, multiform glioblastoma and melanoma; a composition comprising brassinosteroids of general formula (I), wherein (I) can be a single or double bond and the configurations of carbon atoms C22 and C23 respectively linked to the substituents HO are S for both carbon atoms and a pharmaceutically acceptable additive.
摘要:
A method for the identification of genes involved in neurodegenerative processes, detectable by the late onset of a phenotype associated with neurodegeneration, by means of a genetic screen of deregulated genes, which comprises the measurement of sleep-wake cycle activity schemes in different stages of life, young and adult, of individuals of an animal model, such as Drosophila. A mutant fly whose genome comprises a disruption in its enabled gene, with decrease of the enabled gene expression, and exhibiting a late onset neurodegenerative phenotype in adulthood.
摘要:
A passive stream regulating system applicable to air-flue gas or water-flue gas heat exchangers, preferably natural gas balanced flue or natural flue home heaters and home boilers, which allows to attain non-over oxygenated stoichiometric mixture conditions. The system is comprised by small diameter tubes or other geometric systems formed by small channels, to produce a strong laminarization of the aerodynamic flow established within the venting tube, which are located in sections of the conduit or passage of incoming cold air to the combustion chamber of the exchanger or in sections of the conduit or passage of hot flue gases released to the environment.
摘要:
The present invention provides isolated HaHB11 polypeptides and nucleic acids encoding the same. Also provided are methods of introducing a nucleic acid encoding HaHB11 polypeptides into a plant cell, plant part or plant, e.g., to increase tolerance to abiotic stress, to delay development and/or prolong the life span of a plant, and/or to increase yield from the plant. The invention also provides nucleic acids comprising HaHB11 promoter sequences and methods for expressing a nucleotide sequence of interest operably associated with the HaHB11 promoters of the invention in a plant cell, plant part, or plant. Also provided are transformed plants, plant tissues, plant cells and plant seed comprising the nucleic acids, expression cassettes and vectors of the invention.

摘要:
An isolated DNA sequence corresponding to a region of the SPARC gene human promoter from base pair -513 to base pair +3 5 capable of driving the expression of a heterologous gene of interest, that can be associated to any other promoter sequence, such as radiation responsive sequence, hypoxia responsive sequence and free-radical responsive sequence. The invention also provides constructs and DNA recombinant expression viral vectors, comprising said isolated sequence of the SPARC gene human promoter and at least one heterologous gene operably linked thereto, wherein said promoter sequence drives the expression of the at least one heterologous gene in tumor cells. Pharmaceutical compositions and a method for treating tumors are also provided.
