Abstract: A process for isolating isobutene from C.sub.4 -hydrocarbon mixtures containing isobutene by reacting the mixture with a primary alcohol in the presence of an acid condensing agent, to form the tertiary ether, separating off the unconverted hydrocarbons and decomposing the tertiary ether in the presence of an acid catalyst at an elevated temperature, wherein a primary C.sub.3 - or C.sub.4 -alcohol is used and the temperature at which the reaction mixture leaves the etherification stage, in which the tertiary ether is formed, is lower than the mean temperature in the etherification stage.

Abstract: The present invention provides bioactive peptides of generic formula ##STR1## These peptides are extremely potent inhibitors of synaptic transmission at the neuromuscular junction, while at the same time lacing demonstrable inhibition of either nerve or muscle action potential propagation. The peptides are termed conotoxins herein. Naturally occurring conotoxins include conotoxin GI, GIA and GII. In conotoxin GI, U is Glu, V.sub.4 is Asn, V.sub.5 is Pro, V.sub.6 is Ala, W is Gly, X is Arg, Y is His, Z is Tyr, V.sub.12 is Ser and R is --NH.sub.2. Conotoxin GIA is identical to GI except R is --Gly--Lys--NH.sub.2. Conotoxin GII is identical to GI except that V.sub.4 is His, Z is Phe, and X is Lys. Conotoxin MI is identical to GI except that U is Gly-Arg, X is Lys and Y is Asn.

Abstract: Fine-celled foams are produced by a process in which a styrene polymer is melted, the melt is mixed with a volatile blowing agent and a nucleating agent under superatmospheric pressure, the mixture is let down to atmospheric pressure, and the foam is cooled. The nucleating agent employed comprises from 0.02 to 2% by weight of the calcium salt of a long-chain fatty acid, and from 0.01 to 1% by weight of a finely divided, inorganic substance which is insoluble in the styrene polymer, a mixture of calcium stearate and magnesium oxide being preferred.

Abstract: A melt of synthetic material is forced through orifices of a die plate, and the resulting strands of melt are led into a trough, where they travel in counter-current to a stream of cooling water. At the end of the trough, the strands are discharged, for further processing. The bottom of the trough merges into a vertical pipe and the melt strands are led into this pipe and out again, in a variable loop, in order to obtain the desired length of cooling path.
