Abstract: A method of providing a reactive cement constituent or concrete additive includes at least the following steps: a) reworking a carbon-containing heap comprising at least coal and clay-bearing rock; b) extracting at least calcined rock; c) producing fine-grain calcined rock; and d) providing fine-grain calcined rock for use as cement constituent or concrete additive.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polynucleotide comprising a Nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) binding site sequence and a reverse complement of said NFAT binding site sequence separated by a spacer sequence, to said polynucleotide for use in treating and/or preventing disease, and to viral particles, compositions, and uses related thereto. The present invention further relates to a polynucleotide comprising a Nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) binding site sequence and a reverse complement of said NFAT binding site sequence for use in treating and/or preventing an NFAT-mediated disease.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound decreasing the concentration of 2-hydroxy-glutarate (2HG) in a subject for use in treating, preventing, and/or preventing progression of cardiac remodeling, in particular cardiomyopathy and/or heart failure and to viral particles, compositions, uses and methods related thereto.

Abstract: An apparatus for separating out light materials from mineral raw materials is provided. The apparatus includes a charging device that has a charging tube provided with an eccentrically arranged inlet for tangential introduction of raw material. The apparatus also has an inner chamber for separating out coarse sand received from the charging tube, and an outer chamber that serves for sorting out fine sand pursuant to the fluidized bed process. The outer chamber communicates with an overflow chute of the charging tube via an inclined overflow surface. An impingement body is centrally disposed in the inner chamber while leaving free an outer annular gap. The charging tube opens out centrally above the impingement body. A perforated basket, for adjusting flow resistance, is disposed so as to be displaceable in the axis of the charging tube and bridges a space between the impingement body and the end of the charging tube.

Abstract: Ring injectors for aerating fluids, useful for example in flotation systems, have a housing with a mixing section, in which air is added to the through-flowing fluid through an annular slot. A core is arranged in the center of the mixing section. An air-solid mix is formed in the mixing section by deposition of air bubbles on solid particles. An annular injector with a slot width (Q.sub.2) that leads into the airing chamber with a minimum opacifying speed of 2.0 m/s at the inlet of the aerating chamber, has an annex mixing and dispersing section (6) with a cross-section that remains the same until the end (12), as well as a middle piece (10) centrally arranged therein also having a constant cross-section, the length of the mixing and dispersing section (6) being 20 times the width of the annular slot (Q.sub.3). The distributing cone (2) and the middle piece (10) can be screwed together or inserted into each other. The air slot can be regulated by spacing rings (13).
