Methods of forming a low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy device include depositing a solution comprising a soluble form of a radioactive material on a substrate. A water-insoluble form of the radioactive material is formed on the substrate by chemical precipitation and/or thermal decomposition.

An aqueous tube cleaning system as described herein can be utilized to clean a plurality of tubes having different lengths. The system includes a tower assembly having a wash chamber that houses the tubes during the cleaning cycle. The tower assembly is held in a horizontal load/unload position for loading and unloading of the tubes. The system rotates the tower assembly into a vertical cleaning orientation to accommodate cleaning with cleaning and rinse solutions, which flow through and around the tubes using the force of gravity. After rinsing and draining, the tower assembly is rotated back to the horizontal position for unloading.

The present invention provides a new method for the prediction of, or diagnosis of, auto-immune diseases, thereby alerting the subject to the presence of, or propensity to develop, an auto-immune disease so that preventative or therapeutic regiments may be initiated or changed so as to treat, modulate or prevent expansion of the CD4loCD40hi T cell population responsible for the destructive inflammation. The invention also discloses agents which modulate, treat or prevent expansion of CD4loCD40hi T cells. In one embodiment, the method is predictive of type 1 diabetes.

A one-piece B-pillar having a front flange and a rear flange formed on an upper portion of the B-pillar. The front and rear flanges extend forwardly and rearwardly from a trapezoidal section of the B-pillar. An inner concave portion is provided in a lower portion of the B-pillar. The one-piece B-pillar is secured to the outer and upper surfaces of a roof rail and to the outer surface of a rocker to provide side impact strength. The B-pillar is hydroformed in one-piece to provide superior strength for roof crush performance. The tubular portion of the B-pillar is partially collapsed to form a trapezoidal section in the upper portion of the B-pillar.

A sliding replacement door is made of an extendable covering and a mechanism for extending the covering into the doorway and retracting it therefrom. The extendable covering includes a pair of plastic or vinyl sheets on respective spring-biased rollers, analogous to a window shade. The free ends of the sheets are attached to a movable, vertically oriented bar. The rollers are spring-biased to cause the sheets to normally be wrapped around them, and thereby pull the bar towards them. The extension mechanism causes the bar to move horizontally in a direction away from the rollers, to thereby unroll the sheets from the rollers against the spring bias, and extend them into the door opening. The extension mechanism can be a motor-operated scissors mechanism.

Disclosed is a board game providing opportunities for drinking (e.g., social drinking) beverages (e.g., alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages) during playing of the game. The board game includes a plurality of side games. Of these side games, the board game provides for various miniature competitions between selected players of the plurality of players playing the game, when one of the players lands on a location of the board providing for a miniature competition. The miniature competition can be a drinking game known on college campuses. Each player has a game or playing piece which initially is in the form of an empty carton for bottles (e.g., an empty 6-pack carton), and winners of the miniature competitions win bottle-shaped structures (e.g., beverage bottle-shaped structures) to be placed in the winner's carton. The game is won by the player filling the carton gamepiece with bottle-shaped structures (e.g., filling a 6-pack carton with six beverage bottle-shaped structures).
