Abstract: The marine pipelaying system for vertical or near vertical laying of an offshore pipeline includes a main supporting structure; a pipe connecting station, wherein a pipe section is connected to an uppermost end of a previously launched pipeline; a static clamp adapted for releasably securing the uppermost end of the previously launched pipeline, wherein the static clamp is adapted to support the weight of the previously launched pipeline; a mobile clamp adapted for releasably securing the previously launched pipeline at a position below the static clamp, wherein the mobile clamp is adapted to support the weight of the offshore pipeline as the offshore pipeline is released from the static clamp; and a mobile clamp hoist connected to the mobile clamp.

Abstract: Vaccines containing one or more West Nile Virus (WNV) vaccine candidate peptides in an immunologically acceptable excipient are disclosed. Also provided are recombinant WNV vaccine candidate peptides, wherein the peptide is expressed from a recombinant polynucleotide such as a naked DNA vaccine. Additionally, methods for inducing anti-WNV immune responses in a mammalian subject are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention provides Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) vaccine candidate peptides. The invention also provides a method for identifying Mtb vaccine candidate peptides as well as vaccines comprising these Mtb candidate peptides.

Abstract: The invention provides HIV vaccine candidates that have “evolved” due to gene shuffling in vitro for inclusion of “cross-clade” characteristics. The invention also provides a method for identifying HIV vaccine candidates that could be presented in the context of more than one HLA, due to the creation of promiscuous epitopes by gene shuffling.
