Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a vinca alkaloid of formula (I): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt (or hydrate) thereof, wherein each of R1, R2, R3, and R4 is as defined and described herein, wherein said formulations are useful for the topical treatment of actinic keratosis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the treatment of an individual afflicted with a weight disorder, particularly obesity, the instant treatment comprising administering to the individual an effective amount of eltoprazine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the treatment of an individual afflicted with certain forms of anxiety, the instant treatment comprising administering to the individual an effective amount of eltoprazine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof

Abstract: The present invention relates to the treatment of an individual afflicted with L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia, which condition may arise as a consequence of long-term treatment with L-DOPA therapy in Parkinson's patients, the instant treatment comprising administering to the individual an effective amount of eltoprazine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: Luggage storing bins in an aircraft passenger cabin are suspended from rigid mounting brackets by cooperating first and second securing elements forming part of the carriers and of bin end walls. The securing elements, such as holes, cooperate with connector members such as threaded bolts and nuts, whereby the bins can be secured to the respective bracket in different elevational positions to vary a cabin layout in accordance with airline requirements. Gaps between the cabin ceiling cover panels and the bins are covered by overlaps and/or additional moldings to accommodate different elevational bin positions.

Abstract: A separation wall for dividing a cabin space inside a passenger aircraft is constructed of two wall elements rigidly connected to each other in an overlap area. The transition between the overlap area and a respective wall portion of the corresponding wall element is formed by an off-set (27B, 28B; 31B, 32B). The off-sets may slant in the same direction or in opposite directions. The wall elements have lateral edges facing either an aisle in the aircraft cabin or an aircraft body wall. For this purpose the respective lateral edge tapers or curves upwardly to accommodate the aisle or the curvature of the body wall. The overlap area provides an improved strength and wall extensions (28D or 31D) form a space (19) for storage of items or mounting of equipment.

Abstract: At least a pair (4) or a band of wires of an electrically conducting material is longitudinally embedded in the fiber composite material forming the building element (2) and firmly secured to the fiber composite material over the whole length of the wires. A weak current source (7) is connected to the free ends of the wires. The current conduction is then monitored, the capacitance is measured or the current conduction and the capacitance are measured.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an end-anchoring system for anchoring at least one bar made from a fibrous compound material and being used as a tendon in pre-stressed concrete construction, comprising an anchorage pot arranged for being fixed at a prestressed concrete component and containing a clamping body which extends over a portion of the length of the bar and encloses the latter and upon which transverse forces acting vertically to the longitudinal axis of the bar and producing a frictional connection between the rod and the clamping body and the anchorage pot, respectively, can be exerted, the clamping body being part of translating means for transforming axial forces into transverse forces and serving to transform forces acting upon the device in the longitudinal direction of the bar into proportional transverse forces providing the frictional connection between the rod and the clamping body.
