Abstract: The present invention relates to a eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) modulating compound for use in the treatment of a tumor and in the diagnosis of a cancer. The present invention also relates to a method of diagnosing lung cancer in an individual and to a method of providing a prognosis to an individual suffering from lung cancer. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method of diagnosing colorectal cancer in an individual, a method of differentiating between colon cancer (CC) and rectum cancer (RC) in an individual, a method of determining whether an individual responds to a therapeutic treatment of colorectal cancer, and to a method of determining the course of colorectal cancer in an individual.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of tumor prognosis and relates to a method of providing a prognosis to an individual suffering from a tumor. Further, the present invention relates to a method of diagnosing a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in an individual, a method of diagnosing a hepatitis C virus (HCV) infectionin an individual, a method of diagnosing a hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in an individual, and a method of diagnosing a viral induced hepatocellular carcinoma in an individual. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method of differentiating between at least two conditions in an individual, wherein the at least two conditions are selected from the group consisting of a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, and a viral induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In addition, the present invention relates to a method for diagnosing a lymphoma in an individual.

Abstract: For treating waste gas flows, a regenerative thermal afterburning system is used, comprising at least four regenerators, filled with ceramic heat accumulator bodies, and connected via a common combustion chamber. The waste gas is alternately admitted in cycles to one regenerator, whose heat accumulation bodies have been preheated, and then burned in the combustion chamber to yield clean gas, the said gas being extracted by a further regenerator, with simultaneous heating of the latter's heat accumulator bodies, while a third regenerator is flushed with flush gas. During the cyclical operation of the three regenerators, the remaining fourth regenerator extracts combustion chamber air from the combustion chamber, for the removal of deposits on the heat accumulator bodies in this regenerator by means of pyrolysis. In turn, a fan then feeds this extracted air to the crude gas.

Abstract: For treating waste gas flows, a regenerative thermal afterburning system (I) is used, comprising at least four regenerators (1, 2 3, 4), filled with ceramic heat accumulator bodies, and connected via a common combustion chamber (5). The waste gas is alternately admitted in cycles to one regenerator (1, 2, 3, 4), whose heat accumulation bodies have been preheated, and then burned in the combustion chamber (5) to yield clean gas, the said gas being extracted by a further regenerator (1, 2, 3, 4), with simultaneous heating of the latter's heat accumulator bodies, while a third regenerator (1, 2, 3, 4) is flushed with flush gas. During the cyclical operation of the three regenerators (1, 2, 3, 4), the remaining fourth regenerator (1, 2, 3, 4) extracts combustion chamber air from the combustion chamber (5), for the removal of deposits on the heat accumulator bodies in this regenerator (1, 2, 3, 4) by means of pyrolysis. In turn, a fan (17) then feeds this extracted air to the crude gas.
