Abstract: The invention relates to a novel double hybrid system and to the uses thereof. This system provides, in particular, a tool that enables the detection of the interruption of a protein-protein interaction. The developed system uses transcription interference as a mechanism for detecting a breaking up of interacting protein pairs. The developed double hybrid system can be applied to the screening of molecules enabling the detection of molecules breaking up a protein-protein interaction as well as enabling the identification of alleles lacking in the interaction of proteins involved in the protein-protein interactions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an adrenomedullin derivative including an adrenomedullin peptide chelated with at least one active agent. Examples of active agents include a paramagnetic element, a radioactive element and a fibrinolytic agent, among others. Paramagnetic agents have a distribution that is relatively easily shown through Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Radioactive agents have applications in imaging and delivery of radiations, depending on the specific element included in the active agent. Delivery of fibrinolytic agents mainly to a specific organ, such us for example to the lungs, allows to substantially improve the specificity and efficacy of thrombolytic therapy by allowing local delivery of the fibrinolytic agent, thereby reducing the risks of major bleeding in the therapy of the organ. If the organ is the lungs, a non-limiting example of pathology treatable with the fibrinolytic is pulmonary embolus.

Abstract: A turboprop engine includes a power jet mounted coaxially to the engine axis (X-X?), and has a fan case and a gas ejecting system provided with two afterbody half-cowlings (10b) each of which is pivotable around an axis (A2) between open and closed positions, wherein the half-cowlings are connected to the downstream of the fan case through a ‘V-blade/V-groove’ system. In a first embodiment, the pivot axes (A2) make an angle ?>3° to the engine axis (X, X?) and a joint plane (Z2-Z2) between the afterbody half-cowlings and the downstream of the fan case makes to the plane (Y, Y?) perpendicular to the engine axis (X, X?) an angle ? in such a way that the difference between the angle ? and the angle ? is less than or equal to 3°. In the other embodiment, the axes are converged to each other in a downstream direction.

Abstract: A synchronous frame is formed by inserting data in virtual containers that are inserted in the fame. The containers are concatenated with each other. Each concatenated container indicates the total number of containers, and the order number of the particular container. A receiver responsive to the frame delivers to its output only the containers with the indications in the order of the order numbers.
