Abstract: A fibre structure formed from dissolvable glass fibres is provided, the dissolvable glass fibres being formed from one or more boron compounds and one or more alkali compounds. The dissolvable glass can be formed into filaments, rovings and staple fibres of varying composition, length and diameter dependent on functionality and purpose. A mixture of chemicals components are heated, melted and then drawn or extruded into dissolvable filaments, rovings and staple fibres for use in a fibre-reinforced composite part or as a preservative in the internal and surface treatment of solid wood and engineered composite panels. A water-soluble surface coating may be applied to adjust dissolution rate and facilitate binding into an air-laid nonwoven mat or incorporation into other matrices.

Abstract: An antibody against mutant ?-actinin-4 having an amino acid sequence with at least one amino acid residue substitution in the region between position 245 and 263 in the amino acid sequence of ?-actinin-4, wherein the antibody recognizes all or a part of the substituted amino acid residue(s) in the region.

Abstract: A tumor marker comprising diacetylspermine, and a method of evaluating the state of a tumor, comprising reacting an antibody to diacetylspermine with a biological sample to thereby detect diacetylspermine and evaluating the state of the tumor using the obtained detection results as an indicator.

Abstract: The present invention provides embryonic stem cells obtainable from an embryo of an immunodeficient mouse which is deficient in both Rag2 and Jak3 genes by culture in the presence of a GSK3 inhibitor and an MEK inhibitor, as well as a transgenic mouse, which is created with the use of these embryonic stem cells.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and processes for the preservation of porous materials, particularly porous fibrous materials, such as wood, wood composites, other processed wood materials, paper, board, card, textiles, rope, cordage and leather. Also for horticultural and agricultural application to plants or growing media prevent the growth and spread of fungal and other disease. The compositions contain salts of one or more preservative metals and carboxylic acids having one or a plurality of hydroxyl groups rendered soluble by means of complex formation with boric acid or a water soluble salt thereof. Application of the compositions of this invention to the porous organic material may be by any means used with conventional preservative solutions, for example soaking, spraying, brushing and vacuum or pressure application or other contact of the solution with the material to be treated.

Abstract: A method of manufacture of a liquid pesticide containing copper. A first step involves forming of a solidified water soluble copper-borate complex. A second step involves dissolving the solidified water soluble copper-borate complex in water, until the water contains a concentration of at least 0.02% by weight of copper.

Abstract: The present invention provides an anti-diacetylspermine specific monoclonal antibody which satisfies a specific measuring condition in an immunoreaction system between a solid-phased diacetylspermine and the anti-diacetylspermine specific monoclonal antibody, wherein the immunoreaction system comprises a sample diacetylspermine or sample N1-acetylspermidine to inhibit the immunoreaction; and the specific measuring condition is that the 50% inhibition activity against the immunoreaction by the diacetylspermine in the sample is at least 1,000 times as much as the 50% inhibition activity against the immunoreaction by the N1-acetylspermidine in the sample.

Abstract: A method of treating building materials with boron and boron treated building materials. The method involves introducing boron during manufacture of the building materials in the form of a water soluble copper-borate complex. The copper-borate complex enables a wider range of glues and adhesives to be used, is slower to leach out, and provides enhanced fungicidal properties.

Abstract: A method of impregnating a polymer plastic plug with wood preservative. A first step involves dehydrating a polymer plastic plug to reduce its naturally occurring moisture content. A second step involves introducing liquid wood preservative into the polymer plastic plug while the polymer plastic plug is in a dehydrated state by immersing it in the liquid wood preservative and boiling the liquid wood preservative at temperatures that are less than that required to turn the polymer plastic plug into a molten state. In accordance with the teachings of this method liquid wood preservative is absorbed into the dehydrated polymer plastic plug in place of the naturally occurring moisture content.
