Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the selective isolation of highly purified, crystalline D-mannose from complex sugar mixtures, in particular from mixed wood sugars, more particularly from spent sulfite liquor (SSL). The process of the present invention is based on converting mannose into essentially pure mannose bisulfite adducts. Subsequent oxidative recovery of mannose from the mannose bisulfite adducts renders crystalline mannose in improved yields and purities.

Abstract: A method for managing active measurements for determining performance parameters in a communication network comprises obtaining of a maximum permitted subsession duration and obtaining of time margins. The method further comprises determining whether or not a critical resource involved in the active measurement is active due to other activities than active measurements. If the determination concluded that the critical resource is active, a sending of an ensemble of packets of a subsession of an active measurement session is initiated. If there is an intended next subsession of the active measurement session and if a time since a last ensemble of packets was sent exceeds a sleep-init time comprised in the time margins, at least the determining and, if permitted, the initiating a sending of an ensemble of packets of the next subsession of the active measurement session is repeated.

Abstract: A client node, a proxy node, and methods therein, as well as a protocol and a computer program for enabling interception of request messages in connection-less protocols. A primary request addressed to a server node is intercepted by a proxy node creating a secondary request based on said request and forwards this secondary request towards the server node. The proxy node receives a secondary response, being a response to the secondary request, creates a primary response based on the secondary response and forwards this primary response to the node from which the primary request was received. A response can thus be sent along the same path as a corresponding request was sent.

Abstract: A load cell comprising a load carrying structural framework is arranged with at least one measuring zone (15, 16) arranged with a measuring means. A load F applied in the x-direction parallel to two outer beams (1, 4) of the framework is transferred to two inner beams (2, 3) by two side beams (5, 6). The load on the measuring zones (15, 16) is greater than the load applied parallel to outer beams (1, 4) in a ratio of the distance b between the joints of the two outer beams divided by the distance d between the joints of the two inner beams. When a load is applied in the y-direction parallel to the two side beams (5, 6), the load on the measuring zones is also greater than the load applied at the side beams, in this case by a ratio of the distance l between the joints (7 and 11), (10 and 14) divided by distance d.

Yellow Dramatic is particularly characterized as to uniqueness by the combined characteristics of flat capitulum form; daisy capitulum type; yellow tinged orange ray floret color; diameter across face of capitulum ranging from 6 to 9 cm. at maturity; uniform nine week photoperiodic flowering response to short days; medium plant height when grown single stem; 8 to 12 cm. peduncles on open, normally terminal sprays; and 13.degree. C. minimum temperature tolerance for initiation and development of flowering buds. Development and retention of the orange carotene as expressed by Dramatic is significantly reduced in all stages of maturation and under all environments tested to date. Yellow Dramatic is similar to Dramatic in all other traits.
