Abstract: Disclosed is a full-section anti-slide water-cut wall for treating giant landslides, which comprises at least one water-cut wall embedded in the landslide and arranged along the direction of blocking the movement of a sliding body; the water-cut wall comprises a plurality of anti-slide piles arranged at intervals, the bottom end of the anti-slide piles extend into the sliding bed, and a blocking wall is fixedly connected between adjacent anti-slide piles; the anti-slide pile and the blocking wall are provided with a plurality of drainage holes.

Abstract: Compounds and methods of modulating the activity of P-glycoproteins are disclosed. The method utilizes compounds derived from Erythroxylum pervillei. The compounds overcome multidrug resistance and can be used therapeutically to enhance performance of therapeutic drugs, like chemotherapeutic drugs and antibiotics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel imidazole alkaloid compounds that have been isolated as a form of chloride salt from a root extract of Lepidium meyenii Walp, with the common name Maca, and identified below as 1,3-bis(phenylmethyl)-4,5-dimethyl-1H-imidazlium chloride and 1,3-bis(phenylmethyl)-2,4,5-trimethyl-1H-imidazlium chloride, compounds (1) and (2), respectively. The present invention further relates to the use of these novel compounds (1) and (2) to treat proliferative diseases, such as but not limited to cancer.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the sterilization and disinfection of agricultural and botanical products such as botanical powders. More particularly, the present invention is directed towards the use of HBS technology whereby contaminated agricultural products are contacted, at ambient pressure, with an oxidant such as nascent oxygen or hydroxyl radicals thus resulting in the oxidization and destruction of the contaminating microorganisms.
