Abstract: A lattice tower for high-voltage overhead transmission lines having a lattice structure is provided that includes: a base anchored to the ground; a top portion designed for anchoring first and second conductors of a high-voltage overhead transmission line; and a body which extends between the base and the top portion. The lattice tower includes a grid high-voltage electric switching substation that includes: GIS-technology-based switchgear equipment arranged within the base of the lattice structure; a first loop-in loop-out feeder connection configured to connect the first conductors of the high-voltage overhead transmission line to the GIS-technology-based switchgear equipment; a second loop-in loop-out feeder connection configured to connect the second conductors of the high-voltage overhead transmission line to the GIS-technology-based switchgear equipment; and a protection, command and control system arranged within the lattice structure, or in proximity to the base of said lattice structure.

Abstract: Described are methods of inhibiting neurodegeneration in a subject by administering to the subject an agent that prevents (alpha)-syn PFF from binding to its receptor. The agent may be a small molecule chemical compound, antibody, nucleic acid molecule, or polypeptide. Drug screening methods are also provided.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for context-sensitive error event notification. The apparatus and method include a monitor to detect an error event within a computer application, an analysis module to determine characteristics of the error event, an assembler to compose a context-sensitive message comprising a context-sensitive resource relating to the event characteristics, and a transmission module to transmit the message to a set of addressees. The context-sensitive message may include error characteristics, error-specific information from reference materials, error-specific links to related information repositories, and an error-associated search. The context-sensitive message is automatically transmitted to a set of addressees that are associated with the error event.
