Abstract: A polynucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:1 is associated with metastatic potential of cancer cells, especially breast cancer cells. Methods are provided for determining the risk of metastasis of a tumor, by determining whether a tissue sample from a tumor expresses a polypeptide or mRNA encoded by a polynucleotide as shown in SEQ ID NO:1. Also provided are therapeutic methods and compositions.

Abstract: A device and a method for detecting reflected and/or emitted light of an object (1) are proposed having at least one illumination device (2) illuminating the object (1) with pulsed light, and having at least one sensor (4, 6) capturing the light reflected and/or emitted by the object (1), and having a transport device transporting the object relative to the illumination device (2) and past the sensor 4, 6) in the direction of transport, and having a power supply (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22) for the illumination device (2) providing the illumination device (2) with a current that is a periodic function over time, wherein a period comprises at least two current pulses (23, 24) of different magnitudes.

Abstract: A joint connection for abutting, circumferentially extending segments in a gas turbine engine, such as turbine nozzle segments, includes a sealing member which is insertable between longitudinally extending slots formed in the abutting side edges of two adjacent segments. The segments are each formed with a number of grooves which are longitudinally spaced along the length of the slots therein, and which extend beneath the sealing member carried within the slots. A cooling air flow path is thus formed extending from one side of the sealing member, into the longitudinal slot of each segment and then through the grooves to the opposite side of the sealing member so that the entire joint connection or seal region between the abutting side edges of the segments is cooled.
