Abstract: A system for generating a costmap for use in planning a path through an environment, the system including one or more suitably programmed processing devices configured to obtain a map of the environment, acquire traversal data indicative of an ability to traverse parts of the environment, for each part of the environment, calculate a traversal indicator indicative of the ability to traverse the part, the traversal indicator being calculated in a colour space, and colourise the map using the traversal indicators to thereby generate a colourised costmap indicative of an ability to traverse the environment, the colourised costmap allowing path planning to be performed.

Abstract: An on-line energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD) analyser for mineralogical analysis of material in a process stream or a sample is disclosed. The analyser includes a collimated X-ray source to produce a diverging beam of polychromatic X-rays, and an energy resolving X-ray detector, and a substantially X-ray transparent member having the form of a solid of revolution which is circularly symmetric about a central axis between the collimated X-ray source and the energy resolving X-ray detector, an outer surface of the X-ray transparent member positionable adjacent the material to be analysed. A primary beam collimator is disposed adjacent to or within the substantially X-ray transparent member to substantially prevent direct transmission of polychromatic X-rays emitted from the source to the detector.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of producing a food or malt-based beverage suitable for consumption by a subject with a non-coeliac gastrointestinal sensitivity. In particular, the present invention relates to methods of producing a food or malt-based beverage from barley grain comprising reduced levels of one or more alpha-amylase/trypsin inhibitors. Also provided is barley grain that can be used in the methods of the invention.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for regenerating a liquid absorbent, including: contacting the liquid absorbent with a hydrophobic medium, wherein the liquid absorbent includes at least one amine of Formula (I) and degradation product thereof including at least one imine of Formula (II), wherein each Ar is independently an aromatic group and each R is independently selected from hydrogen, an organyl group and NH2; and selectively extracting the degradation product into or through the hydrophobic medium.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of synthesizing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially eicosapentaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, in recombinant cells such as yeast or plant cells. Also provided are recombinant cells or plants which produce long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a group of new enzymes which possess desaturase or elongase activity that can be used in methods of synthesizing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for producing industrial products such as hydrocarbon products from non-polar lipids in a vegetative plant part. Preferred industrial products include alkyl esters which may be blended with petroleum based fuels.

Abstract: The present invention provides a wheat plant comprising an Rht-B1 allele which encodes an Rht-B1 (DELLA) polypeptide. Grain from a near-isogenic wheat line comprising the dwarfing Rht-B1c allele was subjected to sodium azide mutagenesis. Plants exhibiting early leaf elongation rates or mature plant height greater than the dwarf parent were selected and the Rht-B1 gene sequenced. This identified 35 mutated alleles of Rht-B1c. Similar methods were also used to identify mutant alleles of the dwarfing sln1d allele in barley, where DELLA is encoded by the sln1 gene.
