摘要:
A method for determining the susceptibility of a subject to infection, which method comprises: (i) providing a sample from said subject; (ii) detecting any LL-37 present in said sample; (iii) optionally comparing the level of LL-37 in said sample to a control sample; and (iv) determining the susceptibility of said subject to infection, wherein no LL-37 or a low level of LL-37 indicates that said subject is susceptible to infection.
摘要:
The use of tetrahydrofolate, methylene-tetrahydrofolate and/or methyl-tetrahydrofolate, and at least one multi-targeting antifolate, for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of cancer is disclosed. By combining the multi-targeting anti-folate with tetrahydrofolate, methylene-tetrahydrofolate and/or methyl-tetrahydrofolate, it is possible to remarkably reduce toxic side-effects without diminishing the anti-tumour action of the drugs. A pharmaceutical composition, a kit comprising the pharmaceutical composition as well as a method for the treatment of cancer are also disclosed.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for automatically placing a fixed-site transceiver into service once installed in a wireless communication network, such as a cellular communication network. Configuration data is stored at a memory device. When the fixed-site transceiver is powered-on, the configuration data stored at the memory device is retrieved, and downloaded to set the parameters required for operation of the base station.
摘要:
Control circuitry and an associated method for a modified-user, wireless communications system, such as a cellular communication system wherein groups of mobile transceiver units are positioned to travel together. Circuitry is positioned to travel together with the group of mobile transceiver units and to generate common control requests to control operation of the entire group of mobile transceiver units. When embodied in a cellular communication system, a common hand-off request is generated for the entire group of mobile transceiver units, obviating the need for each transceiver unit to independently generate a hand-off request. If a mobile transceiver is operable pursuant to an air interface standard dissimilar to a fixed-site transceiver with which communications are to be effectuated, a converter converts communication signals so that the communication signals can be communicated therebetween.
摘要:
An arrangement and a method for communication of control data or multiuser signals between an exchange and a number of radio base stations in a communication system in which each base station is connected to the exchange via a connecting arrangement having a number of control channels. At least the part of the connecting arrangement connecting to the base station has one digital and/or one analog control channel which is dedicated for multiuser signals and multiuser signals from the exchange to a radio base station are sent only on the dedicated control channel(s). The radio base station has a receiving arrangement which checks if an incident signal is a multiuser signal. If it is established that it is a multiuser signal, it is distributed to at least a number of the other control channels of that particular base station.

摘要:
A fuel which is ethanol-based and which has the form of a solution includes from 62-94% by weight of ethanol; from 2-8% by weight of water; from 2-30% by weight of an ignition improving agent comprised of a water-soluble polyalkylene glycol compound containing 6-50 alkyleneoxy units with 2-4 carbon atoms and having a molecular weight of less than 2500. Such fuel is useful for fueling diesel engines and has excellent combustibility while emitting a low content of organic hydrocarbons. At the same time, the polyalkylene glycol ignition improving agent is odorless, non-toxic, stable in storage, and does not emit nitrogen oxides when combusted.
