Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and kits for identification of testicular carcinoma in situ (CIS), gonadoblastoma (a CIS-like pre-cancerous lesion found in dysgenetic gonads) and CIS-derived cancers based on at least one of the biomarkers included in the invention. It also relates to diagnosis of a subject's status of the testicular carcinoma in situ and the derived cancers based on the measurement of a relative abundance of one of the biomarkers.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and a filter unit for depleting or enriching a liquid or gas with substance(s) comprising i) providing a filter unit comprising at least one convective layer and at least one receiving layer adjacent one another, ii) passing the liquid or gas through the filter so that the main direction of flow is along the layers and the main flow of liquid gas is in the convective layer, allowing the substance(s) to: a) be transferred from a convective layer to a receiving layer, and b) be retained or otherwise modified or transferred within a receiving layer, or c) be provided by the receiving layer, and d) be transferred from the receiving layer to the fluid in the convective layer.
Abstract: A system and method for surveillance of a physical environment. May utilise already installed equipment, such as WLAN for surveillance purposes. This makes the system cost effective to implement. Transmits a first and a second signal. The signals are received by receivers, and the received signals are compared in order to detect a difference in the signals, the difference being caused by a physical change present in the signal path between transmitter(s) and receiver(s). Does not require high spectral purity of the transmitted signals or heavy computations in order to establish that a change has occurred. Suitable for intruder alarm purposes.
Abstract: The invention relates to the field of plant propagation and more specifically to the mass propagation of plants with plant parasites, preferably of plants with green plant parasites, so called hemi-parasites. Accordingly there is provided a method for preparation of a plant comprising in successive order establishing at least one plant parasite on at least one branch of a host plant, cutting at least one branch with at least one established plant parasite, and rooting the at least one cut branch.
