Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of biological markers of ovarian cancer. Specifically, cancer-associated autoantibodies to ANXA1, ARP3, SAHH, SERPH, ARAP1, OTUB1, ATP1A1, UBA1, and CFAH have been identified in subjects with early stage ovarian cancer. These autoantibodies can be utilised for a range of purposes including methods for detecting ovarian cancer, methods for screening for early stage ovarian cancer, and methods for assessing treatment response as well as disease progression and recurrence. The autoantibodies also represent prognostic markers of ovarian cancer development.

Abstract: A method for decreasing a Call Setup Time Key Performance Indicator (CST KPI) of an Internet Protocol (IP) multimedia call in a mobile telecommunications network includes: initiating the IP multimedia call from an originating user equipment (UE) to a terminating UE; transmitting a session initiation protocol (SIP) call initiation message from the originating UE to a terminating Proxy-Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF) through an originating Serving-Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF); and creating a wake-up message via a network element upon receiving the SIP call initiation message. The wake-up message bypasses a plurality of network application servers (ASs) to start switching a transition of the terminating UE from an idle state to a connected state before the SIP call initiation message reaches the terminating P-CSCF.

Abstract: A sowing machine has row units, where each of the row units includes tillage tools and a hydraulic cylinder which applies a coulter pressure upon the tillage tools that is adjustable by a pressure valve. Further, a sensor arrangement includes at least two sensors for producing an electrical signal in connection with a total pressure acting upon the tillage tools of each row unit. In addition, an open-loop or closed-loop control device is connected to the pressure valves and the sensor arrangement and configured to adjust the coulter pressure of each row unit individually and to adapt it on the basis of the electrical signals of the sensor arrangement. In order to create a sowing machine with individual coulter pressure control that is inexpensive to manufacture, a reduced number of sensors is advantageously employed by using a functional relationship.
