Abstract: The invention relates to indicators for determine the proton concentration of strongly alkaline aqueous solutions which contain compounds of the formula (I) ##STR1## in which ##STR2##

Abstract: The invention relates to novel polypeptides with antithrombin activity obtainable from extracts of tissues or secretions of leeches of the order Rhynchobdellida, particularly of the species Theromyzon tessulatum. The polypetides have molecular weights of about 14 kD, 9 kD and 3 kD and can be used in pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of thrombosis related disorders and events.

Abstract: A liquid crystalline material in the form of an anisotropic gel containing a polymerized monotropic or enantiotropic liquid crystalline material and a low-molecular weight liquid crystalline material, wherein the polymerized material a) forms a permanently oriented network in the low-molecular weight liquid crystalline material b), wherein a) is obtained by (co)-polymerization of a chiral polymerizable compound, and a display cell with such a material. Also, novel bifunctional reactive chiral compounds, novel chiral vinylethers and (co)-polymerizable precursor materials.

Abstract: The application relates to deagglomerated and readily dispersible platelet-like substrates with a high degree of softness, which are characterized by a content of 0.5-20% by weight of spherical particles having a small diameter in comparison with the platelet-like substrate, and to a process for their preparation and their use.
