摘要:
The invention relates to novel wellbore treatment methods and fluids using compositions formed from an aqueous medium, a regularly substituted hydrophilically functional polysaccharide having a degree of substitution from about 0.1 to about 0.5, wherein the percent of insoluble polysaccharide is about 10% or less, and a crosslinker. The wellbore treatment fluid is particularly useful for fracturing a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore.

The invention concerns an aqueous viscoelastic fluid for use in the recovery of hydrocarbons. According to the invention this fluid comprises a first viscoelastic surfactant and a second surfactant able to decompose under downhole conditions to release a compound itself able to reduce the viscosity of the aqueous viscoelastic fluid.

This invention relates to treatment of papillomavirus infections. Primarily there is provided a method of treatment of an existing papillomavirus (PV) infection which includes the step of administration of PV VLPs selected from the group consisting of PV L1 VLPs and PV L1/L2 VLPs to a patient suffering from the PV infection. Suitably the PV infection is characterised by the presence of epithelial lesions. The major infection which is treated are gential warts caused by HPV 6 and HPV 11.

The present invention is a composition for forming seals. The composition includes a base material and a hydrogel. The base materials is preferably an elastomer or a thermoplastic. Seals formed with the composition are particularly suited for use in a wellbore environment. The inclusion of hydrogel in the seals allows the seals to be manipulated or altered through certain environmental factors. For instance, temperature, oil/water ratio, pH and the electronic field may all be used to alter the characteristics of the hydrogel. In this way, the seal may be caused to swell in response to a specific stimulus, thereby preventing or sealing a leak without requiring additional work or input from the operator.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for determining the translational efficiency of an individual codon in a cell. The method includes introducing into the cell a synthetic construct including a reporter polynucleotide fused in frame with a tandem repeat of the individual codon, wherein the reporter polynucleotide encodes a reporter protein, and wherein the synthetic construct is operably linked to a regulatory polynucleotide; and measuring expression of the reporter protein in the cell to determine the translational efficiency of the codon.

A power-up control circuit architecture that utilizes zero current under normal operation. The power-up control circuit will sense a common supply voltage, Vcc, and turn an output on and off at a desired threshold voltage, providing a substantially faster on/off switch than that achievable solely by sensing the common supply voltage.
摘要:
A synthetic polynucleotide and a method are disclosed for selectively expressing a protein in a target cell or tissue of a mammal. Selective expression is effected by replacing at least one existing codon of a parent polynucleotide encoding a protein of interest with a synonymous codon to produce a synthetic polynucleotide having altered translational kinetics compared to the parent polynucleotide. The synonymous codon is selected such that it has a higher translational efficiency in the target cell or tissue relative to one or more other cells or tissues of the mammal.

The document browser for electronic filing systems supports pen-based markup and annotation. The user may electronically write notes anywhere on a page and then later search for those notes using the approximate ink matching (AIM) technique. The technique segments the user-drawn strokes, extracts and vector quantizes features contained in those strokes. An edit distance comparison technique is used to query the database, rendering the system capable of performing approximate or partial matches to achieve fuzzy search capability.

In one embodiment, a graphic image display can comprise: a backlight source; a light transmitting first sheet having a viewing side and a backside, with a plurality of geometric microstructure units on the backside; and a second layer comprising a source of graphic image information. The plurality of geometric microstructure units can be selected from microlenses, polyhedral shapes, lenticular shapes, and combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing. The graphic image display can be suitable for viewing under ambient light from the viewing side alone, under backlighting alone, and in the presence of both ambient light from the viewing side and backlighting.
