Abstract: A textured soybean product is produced from full-fat soybean by hydrating whole soybean by treatment with a dilute alkaline solution; mixing the hydrated soybean with full-fat soy flour and equilibrating the moisture content thereof; and passing the mixture through an extrusion cooker. The textured product has excellent flavor, color, and appearance, and can be formulated into an all-vegetable ground meat analogue or it can be used as an extender in blends with ground meat.

Abstract: Polymer bound multidentate complexes are prepared by reacting pendant benzyl chloride and benzyl iodide groups on a variety of polymer supports, including crosslinked polystyrene, with 3,3'-iminodiproprionitrile and reducing the nitrile groups by treatment with, for example, a boron hydride-tetrahydrofuran complex to form the amine. The amine is a precursor for other ligand systems; for example, the primary amine groups formed condense with an aldehyde or ketone to yield five coordinate Schiff base ligands. The polydentate amine ligand systems are useful for synthesis of chelating agents for sequestering metal ions from solution for purification or concentration purposes. Metal complexes of these ligands with manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc can be prepared which are useful as heterogeneous oxidation catalysts.

Abstract: Novel azaprostanoic acid analogs of the formula ##STR1## wherein: R is C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 alkyl or benzyl; and a has a value of from 0 to 6 inclusive, and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and esters. Preferred 13-aza and 15-aza compounds are active in the inhibition of arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation and, more specifically, are direct and specific antagonists of the activity of prostaglandin H.sub.2 and thromboxane A.sub.2.

Abstract: Live Bovine Herpesvirus A.T.C.C. VR-2003 is employed in vaccination of horses to confer immunity to infection by Equid Herpesvirus Type 1.

Abstract: The compound 1,2,5,6-dibenzo-9-oxa-[3.3.1]-bicyclonona-2,6-diene is prepared by the condensation of two moles of phenylacetaldehyde in the presence of a strong acid such as fluorosulfuric acid. The compound is a useful intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, for example, antispasmodic and antiinflammatory agents.

Abstract: We describe a method and apparatus for handling information coded in the form of groups of pulses in sequential time slots forming blocks, each block having the same number of time slots. In this pulse transmission system an analog signal is converted to the above pulse code for transmission, and reconverted to analog form by an integration process. The process and apparatus are also adapted to arithmetic operations. An averaging device, employed in both transmission and arithmetic systems, includes a shift register provided with means for producing a current corresponding to the number of stages of the shift register in a given state.

Abstract: Synthetic erythrocytes. Hemoglobin is encapsulated in lipid materials to form cells which are typically 0.1 to 10 microns in their greatest dimension. Preferably cholesterol and one or more phospholipids are included in the cell membrane. The lipid membrane is of such character and thinness that O.sub.2 --CO.sub.2 transfer thereacross is readily accomplished. The preferred encapsulation process utilizes ultrasonic energy.

Abstract: A process for treating wastewaters to reduce the ammonia content thereof comprising the steps of:A. contacting wastewater, having a dissolved ammonia content, with an ion exchanger having an affinity for ammonium ions whereby ammonium ions become sorbed onto said ion exchanger;B. separating said ion exchanger containing sorbed ammonium ions from the wastewater and then regenerating said ion exchanger and converting the ammonium ions thereon to nitrate ions by treating the ion exchanger with a concentrated salt solution and a culture of nitrifying bacteria whereby ions from the salt solution become absorbed onto the ion exchanger while ammonium ions on the ion exchanger are displaced into solution and oxidized by the nitrifying bacteria to nitrate ions; and,C. recycling the regenerated ion exchanger for further contact with wastewater.

Abstract: A detachable high-speed optoelectronic sampling head for use with an electron multiplier includes a housing having an evacuated chamber with a pair of transparent windows. Light to be detected is directed to the first window to a photoemissive strip spaced from a ground plane. The photoemissive strip comprises a microstrip, and the housing has high frequency feedthrough means for applying sampling potentials between said photoemissive strip and ground plane. A phosphor layer is provided on the other window in the chamber, and photoelectrons emitted from the photoemissive strip are directed through the ground plane to the phosphor layer.

Abstract: A process for preparing a bland, stable, aqueous dispersion of soybeans comprising:I. providing enzyme active soybean cotyledons, either intact or subdivided, while maintaining the moisture level thereof within prescribed limits;Ii. heating said soybean cotyledons sufficiently to inactivate the lipoxidase enzyme contained therein and to partially tenderize said soybean cotyledons;Iii. further tenderizing said soybean cotyledons until the soybeans exhibit a tenderometer value of between about 16 and about 300 pounds per 100 grams of soybeans on an equivalent whole bean basis; andIv. homogenizing an aqueous slurry of said tenderized soybeans, said slurry having a soybean concentration of less than about 20% by weight, in at least one pass through a homogenization zone at a pressure between about 1000 and 10,000 psi at a temperature between about 32.degree. F. and a boiling point of the slurry at the pressure within the homogenizing zone, thereby obtaining a bland, stable soybean dispersion.
