Abstract: The invention is directed to a soybean polyubiquitin promoter, polyubiquitin terminator, sequences which hybridize to same and functional fragments thereof. The regulatory element of the invention provide improved expression in plants of operably linked nucleotide sequences. Expression vectors with the regulatory element is the subject of the invention, which may further include an operably linked nucleotide sequence. The invention is further directed to transformed plant tissue including the nucleotide sequence and to transformed plants and seeds thereof. The regulatory element is useful for driving a nucleotide sequence, for example a gene, or antisense expression or the like for the purpose of imparting agronomically useful traits such as, but not limited to, increase in yield, disease resistance, insect resistance, herbicide tolerance, drought tolerance and salt tolerance in plants.

Abstract: A high-speed rotor, in particular a permanent-magnet rotor (1) for dynamoelectric machines of high power density, and also its production are proposed. The permanent-magnet rotor (1) comprises a spindle (2) and armouring (4) coaxial with the spindle (2), a number of ceramic permanent magnets (3a-3d) that are distributed between the spindle (2) and the cylindrical sheath (4), and also a gap-filling filling compound. Said filling compound made of filled polymers seals the gaps in the permanent-magnet rotor (1) by injection moulding. Due to the remanent pretension, the permanent magnets (3a-3d) remain permanently rigidly joined even against high centrifugal forces.
