Abstract: A paper smoking tube formed by a tubular main body made of organic textile fibre weighing between 13 and 14 gr/m2 wherein the tobacco is deposited and by a cylindrical mouthpiece joined to the main body by one of its ends. The mouthpiece has a cellulose filter covered by a waterproof paper made of organic textile fibre weighing between 32 and 33 gr/m2.

Abstract: Encompassed are pharmaceutically acceptable compositions formulated for the topical or transdermal delivery of probes specific for cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) of human and non-human subjects. In particular, an activatable probe comprises a fluorescent moiety comprising a fluorophore attached to a compound having selective affinity for COX-2, and a removable fluorescence quencher linked to the fluorescent moiety by a cleavable linker. Upon delivery to a recipient subject, the activatable probe is localized and concentrated in tissues and cells with elevated levels of COX-2. The linker is cleaved to release the fluorescence quencher.

Abstract: System of housing and building construction by means of prefabricated components, which include vertical panels for forming partitions and exterior partition walls, as well as roof members, all based on reinforced concrete. The roof members consist of angle beams that follow the pitch of the roof. These members structurally join partition wall panels belonging to two parallel fronts, which panels are, in turn, braced by panels belonging to partitions. The partition wall panels are further joined to the foundation by means of reinforced wet joints. The roof members and panels also have metal elements opposite each other for connection.

Abstract: A building structure includes columns for supporting pairs of beams at staggered height intervals. Slabs are supported between the beams of each pair of beams to form floors and ceilings and pairs of adjoining panels extend obliquely between the pairs of beams to form sidewalls. The individual panels of each pair have horizontally extending lip portions with spaces therebetween. The lip portions rest on the beams to support the panels and are received within the spaces between the lip portions of adjoining panels.
