Abstract: There is disclosed a composition comprising cannabidiol (CBD) and one or more cannabinoids selected from cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) for use in the treatment or prevention of inflammation and disorders associated with inflammation or an IL-6 related disorder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to Candida strains comprising a mutation or deletion in the first and/or second XYL2 allele which can be used for producing one or more sugar alcohols from a lignocellulosic feedstock. The preferred sugar alcohol is xylitol.

Abstract: A composition comprising branched fructan molecules derived from a fructan extract of perennial high sugar grass (HSG) selected from the group consisting of AberMagic cultivar, AberDart cultivar, and S48 (Lolium spp), and obtained by enzymic endo-hydrolase hydrolysis, wherein said branched fructan molecules have a molecular weight of between 0.3 to 3 kDa, and wherein at least 50% of the branched fructan molecules present in the composition have a molecular weight of between 0.48 and 1.9 kDa is provided. Also provided are feed or food supplement comprising such a composition, a method of producing a composition comprising branched fructan molecules, and a method of making a feed or foodstuff.

Abstract: The present invention relates to Candida strains comprising a mutation or deletion in the first and/or second XYL2 allele which can be used for producing one or more sugar alcohols from a lignocellulosic feedstock. The preferred sugar alcohol is xylitol.

Abstract: A lamp housing (1) for an ink curing apparatus comprising at least one locking member (18) configured to lock a lamp (3) into the housing (1) wherein the locking member (18) is movable between an open position allowing removal of the lamp (3) and a closed position restricting vertical movement of the lamp (3).

Abstract: A method for identifying the connectivity of texture types represented in a digital image comprising pixels, each pixel having a texture value which is representative of texture at a respective position, the method comprising: partitioning the texture values into local neighborhoods of texture values; determining a directionality for each neighborhood; using the directionality of the neighborhoods to determine their nearest neighborhood or neighborhoods; connecting the neighborhoods with their nearest neighborhood or neighborhoods; and determining the connectivity of the texture types of the digital image based on the connections formed between neighborhoods.

Abstract: Described are methods for analyzing an animal carcass, meat obtained therefrom, or product produced by or obtained from an animal for the presence or absence of faecal matter. The methods comprise analyzing an animal carcass, meat obtained therefrom, or product produced by or obtained from the animal for the presence or absence of a detectable marker, the presence of the detectable marker being indicative of the presence of faecal matter and the absence of the detectable marker being indicative of the absence of faecal matter, wherein the animal carcass, meat obtained therefrom, or product produced by or obtained from the animal has been obtained from an animal fed a composition comprising a supplement of the detectable marker and/or a precursor thereof. Also described are compositions for feeding to an animal and for use in the methods.

Abstract: Provided are methods for the production of a stress tolerant plant or precursor thereof. The methods comprise (i) subjecting one or more parental plants to one or more stress conditions selected from unfavourable conditions relating to relative humidity, water availability, periodic drought, nutrients, sunlight, wind, temperature, pH, exogenous chemicals, chemical toxins such as salt, herbivory, prophylactic chemicals, fertilizers, pathogen attack such as bacterial, fungal, or virus infection and pest infestation; and (ii) generating offspring from said one or more parental plants.

Abstract: RP-factors, their cognate receptors, convertases, respective genes and inhibitors or mimetics thereof are described. In particular, antibodies, pharmaceutical compositions and (therapeutic, diagnostic) methods based on the RP-factors and their receptors/convertases are described.
