Abstract: A method for recovering a parent radionuclide from a radionuclide generator is disclosed where the parent radionuclide is adsorbed to a stationary phase. The method contains a series of elutions. At least one elution is with an alcohol. At least one elution with water. At least one elution is with a mineral acid other than hydrochloric acid that is paused to soak the stationary phase with the mineral acid.

Abstract: There is described herein compounds, compositions and methods for inducing synthetic lethality in a cancer cell(s).

Abstract: A process for recovering fine coals and clarifying water for recycling features with three distinct mechanisms: hydrophobic extraction, electrolyte coagulation, and macromolecular flocculation, which if desired may be integrated into a single stage. The hydrophobic extraction is accomplished using oil to form a coal-in-oil mixture. The process water is clarified using a flocculants, more preferably a combination of coagulant and anionic flocculants. With a well defined reagent addition scheme, this process allows a combustible recovery greater than 88% at an ash content less than 11%, while producing a clean water containing less than 20 ppm suspended solids from a tailing's stream. The coal-in-oil mixture may be used as a fuel for example in coal-firing boilers and power generators.

Abstract: A bacterial &agr;1,3-fucosyltransferase gene and deduced amino acid sequence is provided. The gene is useful for preparing &agr;1,3-fucosyltransferase polypeptide, and active fragment thereof, which can be used in the production of oligosaccharides such as Lewis X, Lewis Y, and siayl Lewis X, which are structurally similar to certain tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens found in mammals. These product glycoconjugates also have research and diagnostic utility in the development of assays to detect mammalian tumors. In addition the polypeptide of the invention can be used to develop diagnostic and research assays to determine the presence of H. pylori in human specimens.

Abstract: Methodology is provided for the production of uniformly transformed plants capable of transmitting a foreign gene to progeny by sexual reproduction. A foreign gene is introduced into the zygote in an isolated embryo sac and a transformed plant is recovered. Alternatively, a foreign gene is introduced into an egg cell in an isolated embryo sac, the egg cell is fertilized with an isolated sperm cell and a transformed plant is recovered. Sperm cells may be transformed with a foreign gene, an egg cell in an isolated embryo sac is fertilized with the transformed sperm cells, or nuclei isolated from the transformed sperm cells, and a transgenic plant is recovered. Another method for the production of transgenic plants is transformation of an embryo in an isolated embryo sac. The transgenic plant produced by any one of these methods is homogeneously transformed and capable of transmitting the foreign gene to progeny by sexual reproduction.
