Abstract: A method for increasing the resistance of plants to the phytotoxicity of agrochemicals comprises treating the plants, the soil or seeds with an effective amount of a compound of the formula I in which X is halogen, alkyl or trifluoromethyl; m is 0 or 1; Q is C(?CH—CH3)—COOCH3, C(?CH—OCH3)—COOCH3, C(?N—OCH3)—CONHCH3, C(?N—OCH3)—COOCH3, N(—OCH3)—COOCH3 or a group Q1, where # indicates the bond to the phenyl ring; A is —O—B, —CH2O—B, —OCH2—B, —CH?CH—B, —C—C—B, —CH2O—N?C(R1)—B or —CH2O—N?C(R1)—C(R2)?N—OR3, where B is phenyl, naphthyl, 5-membered or 6-membered hetaryl or 5-membered or 6-membered heterocyclyl, the ring systems being unsubstituted or substituted as specified in the description; R1 is hydrogen, cyano, alkyl, haloalkyl, cycloalkyl or alkoxy; R2 is phenyl, phenylcarbonyl, phenylsulfonyl, 5- or 6-membered hetaryl, 5- or 6-membered hetarylcarbonyl or 5- or 6-membered hetarylsulfonyl, the ring systems being unsubstituted or substituted as specified in the description, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl

Abstract: Herbicidally active compositions comprising: A) at least one 7-pyrazolylbenzoxazole compound of the formula (I) in which the variables R1-R5 are as defined in the patent claims and/or at least one of its agriculaturally acceptable salts; and at least one further active compound selected from herbicidally active compounds and safeners.

Abstract: Flexible cooling paths are connected to semiconductor elements which are heated members. A cooling apparatus comprises cooling blocks connected to cooling blocks, coolant flow paths through which the coolant flows, coolant branching mechanisms provided in the coolant flow paths and connecting mechanism for connecting the branching mechanism and the cooling blocks through O-rings. A part of coolant flowing through the cooling flow paths is introduced into the cooling blocks for the respective heated chips in order.

Abstract: In a method for forming a cast article by slip casting through casting of a slip of powders of ceramics, etc. as disporsed in a solvent such as water, etc. into a solvent-absorbable, porous casting mold of gypsum, etc., the casting mold as made is heated to considerably lower the strength of the casting mold in a shape-maintainable range, the slip is cast into the cavity of the casting mold and after solidification of the slip into a green body the casting mold is removed to obtain a defect-free green body. The casting mold can be removed with much ease.

Abstract: In a casting method comprising casting a slip containing water or an organic solvent as the medium into a mold and removing the mold after solidification of the slip, use of a mold formed with an organic binder soluble in the medium of the slip allows the slip to quickly solidify and afford a green body due to absorption of the medium in the slip by the mold. In this case, the mold softens with loss of the binding power thereof simultaneously with the absorption of the medium. Therefore, no cracks appear at all in the green body, and removal of the mold is very easy.

Abstract: The development of crops is influenced by means of one or more 7-chloroquinoline-8-carboxylic acids of the general formula ##STR1## where R is fluorine, chlorine, bromine, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -haloalkyl.

Abstract: A cast article having a complicated shape of the appearance and the hollow can be obtained by forming a coating film on the surface of a pattern from a solvent-insoluble material to prepare a mold pattern, filling and hardening a molding material around the mold pattern, dissolving the pattern with a solvent, and removing the residue of dissolution and the coating film outside the mold.

Abstract: In a forming method and a mold wherein a slip is cast into the mold and wherein the mold is removed after hardening of the slip, the mold is patterned by the use of a water-soluble binder. The mold absorbs a water content in the slip to soften and to become easy of removal, while the slip has the water content absorbed to harden promptly. Therefore, the forming method and the mold are especially suited to produce a cast article of complicated shape.

Abstract: A slip casting mold consisting essentially of a gypsum mold, which contains a water-insoluble organic material, more particularly, a water-insoluble vegetable material such as cellulose, or which further contains glue in addition to the water-insoluble organic material. Since the strength of the casting mold is reduced markedly by heating, a cast article requiring a core (or master mold) having complex shape can be obtained extremely easily.
