Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring cell for analysing a fluid flow, wherein the measuring cell has a channel for conducting the fluid flow, which channel is divided into different sections and the cross section thereof is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis. The invention also relates to a measuring device comprising such a measuring cell.

Abstract: A method and system that utilizes an admissible heuristic to determine the fastest-path between two points on a road map is disclosed. The method and system are based in part on a set of separators disposed on the map and represented by line segments, either independent or organized into hierarchical tree structures and based on recursive spatial subdivision. A preprocessing step computes a vector of values per road junction based on the separators that is then stored with the map and used to efficiently compute a high-quality heuristic to be used at a query stage. The heuristic scales well to any map size, resulting in a very efficient determination of fastest-path queries between points at all distances. The implementation is economically feasible and the resulting query speeds are significantly faster than other known heuristics and other state-of-the-art systems used for computing fastest-paths on maps.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of diagnosing a predisposition for or the occurrence of treatment emergent suicidal ideation in an individual, the method comprising determining the presence or absence of one, more or all SNPs selected from the SNPs defined by SEQ ID NOs: 8, 18, 19, 47, 50, 52, 56, 64, 73, 86, 87, 92, 94, 95, 97 and 99.

Abstract: The invention relates to relatively short peptides (termed J-Superfamily conotoxin peptides, J-conotoxins or J-conotoxin peptides herein), about 25 residues in length, which are naturally available in minute amounts in the venom of the cone snails or analogous to the naturally available peptides, and which preferably include two disulfide bonds. The J-conotoxins are useful for treating disorders involving voltage gated ion channels and/or receptors.

Abstract: Methods of growing crystals of free and antibiotic complexed large ribosomal subunits, coordinates defining the 3D atomic structure thereof and methods of utilizing such coordinates for rational design or identification of antibiotics or large ribosomal subunits having desired characteristics are disclosed.

Abstract: A method for transferring of monocrystalline, thin layers from a first monocrystalline substrate onto a second substrate, with a reduced requirement with respect to the hydrogen dose needed for layer splitting is realized by co-implantation of hydrogen-trap inducing ions with hydrogen ions, by the high temperature implantation of hydrogen, and by their combination, followed by a heat-treatment to weaken the connection between the implanted layer and the rest of the first substrate, then forming a strong bond between the implanted first substrate and the second substrate and finally using another heat-treatment in order to split the monocrystalline thin layer from the rest of the first substrate by the formation, and growth of hydrogen filled microcracks.

Abstract: A method for transferring of monocrystalline, thin layers from a first monocrystalline substrate onto a second substrate, which may have a substantially different coefficient of thermal expansion than the first substrate is realized by producing hydrogen-traps in the first substrate by a first implantation and then implanting hydrogen followed by a heat-treatment to weaken the connection between the implanted layer and the rest of the first substrate, then forming a strong bond between the implanted first substrate and the second substrate and finally using another heat-treatment in order to split the monocrystalline thin layer from the rest of the first substrate by the formation, growth and overlapping of hydrogen filled microcracks.
