Abstract: A method of manufacturing a catalyst material includes the steps of: providing a body having an open-porous foam structure and comprising at least a first metal or alloy; providing particles, each of which particles comprising at least a second metal or alloy; distributing the particles on the body; forming a structural connection between each of at least a subset of the particles and the body; and forming an oxide film on at least the subset of the particles and the body, wherein the oxide film has a catalytically active surface.

Abstract: A bicycle sprocket for a sprocket cassette comprises a sprocket main body which extends about a virtual sprocket axis about which the sprocket is rotatable during intended operation on a bicycle. In the case of a single release tooth being formed, a release-side stabilizing tooth is arranged in the circumferential region of extent of an upshift recess formation. The release-side stabilizing tooth has an inner tooth contact surface which has a greater axial spacing to an axial reference position than an inner tooth contact surface of the reference tooth. Additionally, or alternatively, in the case of a single catch tooth being formed, a receiving-side stabilizing tooth is arranged in the circumferential region of extent of a downshift recess formation. The receiving-side stabilizing tooth has an inner tooth contact surface which has a greater axial spacing to the axial reference position than the inner tooth contact surface of the reference tooth.

Abstract: Some embodiments may include a device for separating product water which is obtained by condensation from raw water comprising a mixture of water and impurities comprising: a gas process circuit for a process gas, including an evaporator for the raw water and a condenser for the product water connected in series; and a product water process circuit including the condenser and a first heat exchanger for cooling the product water connected in series. The evaporator comprises an inlet for the raw water and an outlet for a concentrate which as compared to the raw water has a higher concentration of impurities to be separated. The condenser comprises an inlet for the product water in a top of the condenser and the outlet for the product water in a bottom of the condenser. The process gas flows from the bottom of the condenser to the top of the condenser.

Abstract: The invention relates to a nutraceutical composition such as infant formula or infant food comprising a) a defined aroma composition; b) a methodology for developing, maintaining certain aroma constituents in the infant formula and an aroma or fragrance composition to be used to increase the acceptance of a person or an object by the baby or new born.

Abstract: A method for utilizing spent grain in a brewery in which the spent grains are mechanically dewatered and then thermally utilized. The press water arising from the mechanical dewatering is thermally concentrated using low-temperature waste heat generated during the brewing process.

Abstract: A method reprocesses waste water containing an organic acid from an industrial process. A base is added to the acid-containing waste water. A salt dissolving in the waste water is produced due to a neutralization reaction. The waste water is subsequently guided in a heat exchanger process, a heat exchange medium being used such that the waste water which is to be treated is partially evaporated and is condensed into purified water on a condensation device. A concentrate enriched with the salt forms a residue and the purified water is guided back into the industrial process.

Abstract: Waste water from an industrial process, including an organic acid, is reprocessed by introducing the waste water into a heat exchange process in which a heat exchange medium is used so that the waste water which is to be treated is heated to a temperature between 60° C. and the boiling point of the waste water. Subsequently, the waste water is partially evaporated and re-condensed, with the waste water irradiated with UV radiation during the evaporation and condensation process in the liquid and/or gas phase. As a result, a chemical transformation of the organic acid in H2O and carbon dioxide is at least partially carried out. Then, the condensed part of the purified waste water is fed back into the industrial process.

Abstract: Use vaginal odorant compounds for controlling motile cell chemotaxis.
