Abstract:
The present invention relates to an in vitro method for detecting at least one target poly- nucleotide in a test sample, wherein the method comprises the steps of contacting the test sample with a first oligonucleotide and a second oligonucleotide and detecting the hybridization between the first and the second oligonucleotides to the at least one target polynucleotide. The present invention also relates to devices or systems to implement the method, and kits of parts comprising said oligonucleotides.
Abstract:
The process relates to the very selective enzymatic production of monosaccharides and polyols which are mono and/or bisubstituted with fatty acids. The process is based on the simple mixing of polyol or monosaccharide with the fatty acid, the addition of solvent, and the use of lipases in order to regioselectively obtain them without catalysts or toxic agents. The process requires the continuous removal of water produced during the process. The invention applies to the sectors such as food, pharmaceutics, cosmetics and chemistry. The products obtained are excellent non ionic surfactant agents, which are biocompatible and biodegradable and are used as additives due to their emulgent, unctuous, thickening and hydrating characteristic.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a process for producing coatings of various oxides by using the sol-gel method and the technics of immersion and spraying on silver coatings and substrates. Said process provides for the preparation of coatings of various compositions, vitreous or polycrystalline, and which have an excellent homogeneity, high adherence and good mechanical and thermal compatibility with the metal substrate. Said coatings result in an efficient barrier against dry oxidation at high temperature. It is a simple and economical process which is applicable to multiple forms and sizes of substrates, which may be used in multiple applications when highly reflectant materials are required such as solar reflectors, lighting screens, etc.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the production of solid state lasers of dyes of the family of rodamines. More specifically, it relates to lasers wherein said dye or chromophor is covalently anchored to a solid matrix, and comprises an organic polymer which is transparent and sufficiently stable to the pumping radiation. Application to the production of laser emission by means of an organic dye in a solid matrix and polymers containing rodamines.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the production of yeast strains which ferment sugars more rapidly with a faster production of carbon dioxide and ethanol. The invention comprises the introduction in the yeasts of genes of enzymes which normally do not express in the presence of sugars, under control of promoters which permit their expression in such conditions.
Abstract:
The production of fibers is carried out by allowing a gas mixture containing a gaseous hydrocarbon or an appropriate gas to pass through a substrate [6] (generally a steel sheet) arranged facing the direction of the gas stream and situated in a furnace [4] wherein the gas reaches a temperature of 1 000 DEG C approximately. The schematized device is comprised of the corresponding gas reservoirs, that is to say the hydrocarbon gas [1] and the carrying and activating gas [2], a mixing and preheating chamber [3], the furnace [4] at the outlet [5] of which are collected or burnt the inflammable gases and the grid [6] from the surface of which, duly activated, the carbon fibers may grow. The gist of the invention is that the gas goes through the substrate situated facing the flow, so that said flow of gas is parallel to the direction of the fiber growth. The maximum length of the fibers is set by the distance between the substrate [6] and a substrate or mask (not shown in the figure) situated at the other extremity of the chamber.

Synthesis of semi-synthetic monobactamic or beta -lactamic antibiotics by using derivatives stabilized by various methods of penicillin G acylase from various microbial sources according to a thermodynamically controlled strategy in monophase water/cosolvent organic apolar systems, wherein the concentration of the cosolvent varies between 30 % and 90 %, the temperature between -10 DEG C and 50 DEG C, the pH between 4.5 and 8.5, with concentrations of the antibiotic nucleus between 0.5 and 875 mM and acyl donor between 0.2 mM and 1 M, with a relationship antibiotic ring/activated or free acyl donor, using a buffer between 0 and 1 M. Application to the pharmaceutical industry.
Abstract:
Hydrometallurgical process for the recovery of copper from oxidized metal materials through lixiviation with an aqueous solution which contains ammonium ions (which is provided to the system as ammonium hydroxide, ammonium carbonate and/or ammonium chloride), and which provides for the formation of ammoniated copper complexes (II), and removal of the copper from the fertile solution obtained by solvent extraction (using acid agents for the extraction), the lixiviation solution being regenerated by neutralization of the acid produced in the copper extraction with the ammonium of the metal complex.
Abstract:
Surfactants having general formula (II) wherein x = 8-14; n = 2-8. The process for obtaining such surfactants comprises the following steps: a) producing nitroarginin; b) producing N -acil-nitroarginin; c) producing N ,N ,bis(N -acil-arginin- alpha omega diaminoalkylamide dichlorohydrate. Said surfactants are antimicrobial agents which can be applied to cosmetics, pharmacy and food industry.
Abstract:
The object of the present invention is an acoustic chamber for the treatment, at various frequencies and high intensities, of gas effluents which contain solid and liquid microparticles in suspension. The acoustic energy agglomerates the microparticles, thereby facilitating the air separation by means of conventional systems (electro-filters, cyclones, etc.). The chamber has a rectangular cross section and is axially traversed by the flow of aerosols to be agglomerated (1) while the acoustic generators which are of the stepped vibrating plate type (2) and which may have different frequencies, are contiguously or alternatingly arranged on the side walls in order to create intensive stationary fields in the various cross sections of the chamber. In order to maximize the emission of both faces of the radiant plate of the acoustic generators, it is proposed to arrange the plate between two forming angle planar reflectors. Additionally, for the treatment of aerosols at high temperatures, there is provided a refrigeration system (4) in order to refrigerate the acoustic radiators by means of a cool air flow.
