Abstract: The present invention relates in general to the field of Bifidobacteria. In particular the present invention relates to the field of Bifidobacteria with a modulated stress resistance. One embodiment of the present invention is a Bifidobacterium with a constitutively modulated DnaK, DnaJ, GrpE and/or CIpB expression.

Abstract: The present invention relates in general to the field of Bifidobacteria. In particular the present invention relates to the field of Bifidobacteria with an improved resistance to oxidative stress. The inventors have identified a Bifido bacterium that exhibits for example an improved H2O2—resistance.

Abstract: Safety apparatus for a stove-top burner, especially for a side cooker apparatus for a gas-fired grill. The safety apparatus is a barrier at least partially surrounding a cooking container placed over the burner. The barrier may be in the form of a band or a plurality of spaced-apart coaxial wires which are secured to a stove top to prevent pots and pans from sliding off the burner. The cooking apparatus for which this safety device is well-suited is a side cooker.

Abstract: A side cooker apparatus for a gas-fired grill which is detachably secured at one side of the grill by a pair of substantially parallel, spaced apart bars which are attached to the framework of the side cooker apparatus and extend into a pair of correspondingly spaced apart channels which form part of a framework for the gas-fired grill. A safety barrier may be provided for retaining cooking utensils on the side cooker.

Abstract: A cyclic process for the treatment of a uraniferous liquor containing, in addition to the desired metal, sodium carbonate and/or bicarbonate and sodium sulphate, obtained by the alkaline attack of a sulphur-containing uraniferous ore, the said process comprising the neutralization of the uraniferous liquor then the fixation of the uranium and the SO.sub.4.sup.= ions over a strong anion-exchange resin, the elution thereof with an ammonium carbonate and/or bicarbonate solution in the form of an ammonium uranyl carbonate which is subsequently decomposed and ammonium sulphate, the precipitation and the calcination of the precipitated uranates and/or diuranates with regeneration of the eluent solution of ammonium carbonate and/or bicarbonate, the causticiation of the liquor freed from uranium which leaves the anion-exchange resin to eliminate the SO.sub.4.sup.= ions in calcium form, recycling a carbonated and/or bicarbonated liquor which is free from SO.sub.4.sup.

Abstract: A cyclic process for the treatment of a uraniferous liquor containing, in addition to the desired metal, sodium carbonate and/or bicarbonate and sodium sulphate, obtained by the alkaline attack of a sulphur-containing uraniferous ore, the said process comprising fixing the uranium over a first strong anion-exchange resin, eluting it with an ammonium carbonate and/or bicarbonate solution in the form of an ammonium uranyl tricarbonate which is subsequently decomplexed, precipitating and calcinating the precipitated uranates and/or diuranates with regeneration of the eluant solution of ammonium carbonate and/or bicarbonate, passing the liquor which is freed from uranium and leaves the first strong anion-exchange resin into a neutralization zone then over a second anion-exchange resin, eliminating the SO.sub.4.sup..dbd. ions which are subsequently precipitated in calcium form, recycling a carbonate and/or bicarbonated liquor which is free from SO.sub.4.sup..dbd.

Abstract: A system for automatically stopping a multi-channel tape player after completion of recording of information on a selected channel of a multi-channel tape.
