摘要:
The invention relates to methods and products for modulating glycosylation of proteins. The invention is useful for identifying therapeutic compounds to treat glycosylation-associated disorders such as neurodegeneration, diabetes, including complications of diabetes such as insulin resistance, nephropathy, microvascular damage, and endothelial dysfunction. The invention is also useful for identifying therapeutic compounds to treat de-glycosylation-associated disorders such as ischemic damage and traumatic injury. The invention also relates in part to assays that are useful for identifying and testing candidate compounds for modulating glycosylation of proteins and also relates in part to compounds to treat glycosylation-associated diseases and disorders.

A fast fluidized bed regenerator of an FCC apparatus is improved by incorporating into the regenerator an internal riser, for more complete combustion of coke, and by providing a means of preventing catalyst flow reversals between the spent and regenerated beds of the catalyst.

摘要:
In a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process and apparatus, the heat balance between the reactor and the regenerator of the FCC operation is partially uncoupled by transferring at least a portion of thermal energy from the reactor vessel downflow riser to the regenerator vessel. The transfer of thermal energy results in a higher regenerating temperature. The thermal energy is recirculated to the upstream section of the downflow reactor riser through a regenerated catalyst having higher temperature. Consequently, the outlet of the reactor vessel is maintained at a substantially constant temperature (e.g., 1000.degree. F.) and the rate of conversion of the oil feed and the octane number of gasoline produced in the process are increased.

A fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process and apparatus using a riser and a reactor for cracking of petroleum feeds in the presence of a catalyst and a regenerator for regenerating the spent catalyst are improved by providing a downflow riser. The downflow riser assures uniform distribution of the catalyst throughout the feed, decreases contact time of the catalyst with the feed and decreases the amount of coke made in the process.
摘要:
In the fluid catalytic cracking process, improved adaptive behavior of the catalyst section with the regenerator operating in the complete CO-burning mode is achieved by including, as elements of control, variable preheat of the oil feed and variable recycle of regenerated catalyst to spent catalyst. In response to excursions of the regenerated catalyst temperature, such as would be caused by change of feedstock, the oil preheat temperature and recycle ratio are altered in a direction to restore the regenerated catalyst temperature to a predetermined value. The improved control system extends the useful control range, and it also diminishes counterproductive changes in severity induced by disturbances such as change of feedstock quality.

摘要:
Heavy petroleum oils such as resids are subjected to visbreaking in the presence of a hydroaromatic hydrogen donor solvent having an aromatic and alpha-to-aromatic proton content each of at least 20 percent of the total solvent hydrogen. The amount of donor solvent is from 0.1 to 50, preferably 0.1 to 20, weight percent of the heavy oil feed. The visbreaking may be carried out at relatively high severities as the use of the donor solvent reduces coke formation as well as producing a product of reduced viscosity, pour point and sedimentation characteristics. Reaction severity is usually in the range of 250 to 1500 seconds ERT at 800.degree. F. (427.degree. C.) but may range up to 15000 seconds ERT. Suitable solvents may be obtained from catalytic cracking process, for example, FCC cycle oils, slurry oils and main column bottoms.
摘要:
The operation of FCC apparatus is improved by decreasing oil partial pressure in the FCC reactor riser by about 10 psia, as compared to the normal oil partial pressure in the riser, thereby increasing octane rating of the gasoline produced in the FCC unit. The oil partial pressure may be reduced by injecting a suitable amount of an inert diluent into the riser, or by decreasing throughput of the FCC reactor.
