摘要:
A method is disclosed for producing a hybrid perennial plant system for plant breeding of co-sexual plants for increased yields and for having increased gene confinement capabilities. The method includes the steps of (a) contacting a first compatible perennial plant with a male vector, wherein the male vector comprises a SL expression cassette to create a plant line (A) with disrupted male development; (b) contacting a second compatible perennial plant with a female vector, wherein the female vector comprises a SL expression cassette to create a plant line (B) with disrupted female development; and (c) crossing plant line (A) with plant line (B) to produce the hybrid perennial plant having increased heterozygocity gene confinement.
摘要:
This invention is directed to the synthesis of double-stranded conducting polymers, fonnulation for surface treatment reagents, and the use of water-borne double-stranded conducting polymers. The double-stranded conducting polymer provides a unique flexibility in designing molecules for surface treatment. The compositions can be used to treat metal surfaces to provide a stable interface for adhesive binding or the coating of paint or plastics on top of the chemically modified surface. The composition is useful as a replacement of chromate-based surface treatment process.

An information backup system (10) comprises a first computing system (12) including a first local disk (30) that includes a first disk driver (24). The first computing system also includes first local RAM (50), a first network interface (18) that is connected to a computer network and includes a first network driver. A first device driver/bridge (40) responsive to communications from the first network driver and the first disk drive, writes data to and reads data from the first local RAM. A second computing system (13) also includes second local RAM (51) and a second network interface (19) that is connected to the computer network and includes a second network driver. A second device driver/bridge (41) responsive to communications from the second network driver and the second disk driver, writes data to and reads data from the second local RAM.
摘要:
An organic-inorganic hybrid composite which comprises an inorganic component and an organic conducting component. The inorganic component inhibits deprotonation of the organic conducting component when the composite is exposed to a medium having a pH which would deprotonate the organic conducting component but for the presence of the inorganic component.

This invention disclosed (2S,3R)-3(6-aminopurin-9-yl)aralkan-2-ols, a novel class of adenine derivatives (also called 9-aralkyladenines, ARADS), which have been shown to inhibit the enzyme adenosine deaminase at therapeutically useful levels. The relevant inhibitory constant (Ki) values are in the range of 10?-7 - 10-10¿ M. These compounds with potencies in this range can reversibly inhibit ADA in an effective manner, without permanently deactivating the enzyme. ADA inhibitors that have similar biological profiles have been shown to be of therapeutic value when used to protect heart muscle against ischemic damage.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method by which new antigens from vector-borne pathogens may be discovered and analyzed by incubating the viable pathogens in the saliva of their vector host. Three such antigens, proteins with the approximate molecular weights of 19, 22 and 24 kDa, have been discovered and analyzed from a strain of B. burgdorferi T-15. The proteins provide a route for the development of immunodiagnostics for Lyme disease and related disorders. The proteins and related amino acids and DNA sequences may also be used for the immunization, for the detection of B. burgdorfei in human or body fluids, and also for the generation of specific antibodies for use in diagnosis, epidemiology, prevention of and treatment of Lyme disease.
摘要:
The present invention employed a method to control electrical activity in a target area of an animal's body by administering transcranial focal stimulation to the target area to adjust activity to normal levels. An advanced automated control system would first detect the abnormal electrical activity using tripolar concentric ring electrodes and then provides transcranial focal electrical stimulation to the target area using noninvasive tripolar concentric ring electrode system in a closed-loop continuous feedback. The automated control system would be adaptable to include the use of therapeutic drugs, either non-continuously or continuously, as a more comprehensive treatment of the abnormal electric activity.
