Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds which can be used to control plant development. Indeed, the present invention discloses a new class of pyrabactin analogues which have a physiological effect on—for example—seed germination, and/or stomatal closure, and/or have developmental effects on root and shoot development and organogenesis. Hence, the latter compounds can be used to control plant development such as—for example—increasing the tolerance of plants to drought stress or to control physiological phenomena such as pre-harvest sprouting, tolerance to pathogens etc.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to efficient methods of controlling biological conversions while simultaneously removing and converting some of the generated products. More specifically, and, for example, the disclosure discloses electrochemical processes to remove and capture potentially toxic ammonium during anaerobic digestions and to remove and capture carboxylic acids during bioethanol production. The disclosure can, thus, be used to enhance bioproduction processes via controlling pH and/or reduction/oxidation, in combination with in situ product recovery.

Abstract:
This invention relates generally to new findings to improve a method of thermal energy storage or heat pump, i.e. increase the thermal energy from an external heat source, using a reversible condensation reaction with an inorganic oxoacid compound. It accordingly provides components to be used in said improved process as well as the use thereof in the aforementioned method, including the use in the manufacture of products of the condensation products or in the manufacture of the hydrolysis products.
