    摘要: The present application relates to the field of glyco-engineering, more specifically to glycosylation-engineered fungal cells, more specifically glycosylation-engineered yeast cells, optimized to produce highly homogenous forms of complex N-glycans on recombinant proteins. The invention specifically relates to methods to obtain pharmaceutical compositions comprising recombinant glycoproteins which have homogenous forms of complex N-glycans. In addition, the invention relates to novel pharmaceutical compositions which result from the methods of the invention.

    摘要: Nanostructured shapes comprising at least a first part and a second part. The first part has a longitudinal axis L and comprises a first absorbing material and an emitting material. The second part is connected to the first part and comprises a second absorbing material. The second part mainly absorbs light with direction of polarization other than the long axis L of the first part, and the nanostructured shape emits light mainly polarized along the long axis L of the first part. The disclosure further relates to an assembly of nanostructured shapes, to a method of synthesizing nanostructured shapes and to a polarizing light emitting plate comprising such nanostructured shapes.

    摘要: A control unit (100, 120, 130) adapted to regulate at least one de-bacterisation unit (201) of a fluid system (200, 210, 230) is described. The fluid system (200, 210, 230) comprises the de-bacterisation unit, a production unit for producing a heated fluid heated to a predetermined temperature, at least one pipe for transporting the fluid from the production unit to at least one fluid outlet, at least one fluid outlet and at least one sensing unit for sensing a temperature of the fluid at a first location in the fluid system as a function of time. The control unit (100, 120, 130) includes a module (101, 124) adapted for obtaining temperatures at a plurality of locations in the fluid system as function of time and programmed for modelling bacterial growth in the fluid in the fluid system as function of time based on the obtained temperature in the system and for predicting, based on the modelling, the bacterial concentration at the at least one fluid outlet over time. The control unit is being adapted for driving the de-bacterisation unit, The control unit is being adapted for determining, based on said predicted bacterial concentration over time obtained by the module (101, 124), moments in time when the bacterial concentration reaches a predetermined value in the fluid system and for, in reply thereto, driving at these moments in time the de-bacterisation unit (201) so as to reduce bacterial concentration in the fluid system (200, 210, 230).

    摘要: The present invention relates to a mutant plant Cinnamoyl-CoA Reductase (CCR) protein capable of restoring the yield penalty in plants with lignin traits such as ccr-related deficiencies and methods and uses thereof. More specifically, the invention relates to plants lacking functional wild type CCR protein but having a weak ccr allele resulting in lower lignin amounts and increased saccharification, further accompanied by plant growth restoration of the lignin modification-induced dwarfism.
