Abstract: Immobilization and magnetic extraction of pathogens and pathogen components The application describes a method for reducing the concentration of pathogens and/or pathogen components in an aqueous or body fluid sample. Specifically, the method relates to incubating the sample with superparamagnetic iron-based particles attached to a target binding peptide and immobilising the superparamagnetic iron-based particles with a magnetic field and thereby separating the pathogen-bound and/or pathogen component-bound superparamagnetic iron-based particles from the sample. Furthermore, the application relates to a method for identifying pathogens in an aqueous or body fluid sample a use of superparamagnetic iron-based particles for reducing the concentration of pathogens and/or pathogen components in an aqueous or body fluid sample. In addition, a use of superparamagnetic iron-based particles for identifying pathogens in an aqueous or body fluid sample is disclosed.

Abstract: A method for producing a collector alloy comprising 25 to 100 wt % precious metal in total, comprising 0 to <97 wt % of the precious metal silver, 0 to 75 wt % of at least one precious metal selected from gold, platinum, rhodium and palladium, and 0 to 75 wt % of at least one non-precious metal selected from copper, iron, tin and nickel, or for producing pure silver, comprising the steps of: (1) providing precious metal sweeps; (2) providing a flux which, during collective melting with the refractory inorganic material from the precious metal sweeps provided in step (1); (3) collective melting of the materials provided in steps (1) and (2) at a temperature in the range of from 1300 to 1600° C., forming a melt comprising at least two phases of different densities arranged one above the other; and. (4) separating the upper phase and the lower phase.

Abstract: A fuel composition wherein the fuel composition comprises (a) a major amount of liquefied methane based gas in cryogenic state having a temperature in the range from ?182° C. to ?100° C. and, preferably, a pressure in the range of 1 bar to 15 bar, and (b) a minor amount of an 5 ignition improving additive, wherein the ignition improving additive has a melting point of less than ?105° C., a boiling point of less than 60° C. and an autoignition temperature of lower than 480° C. and wherein the ignition improving additive is selected from alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, ethers, alkynes, aldehydes, ketones, amides, nitroalkanes, nitrosoalkanes, nitrates, nitrites, cycloalkanes, cycloalkenes, dienes, peroxides, triatomic oxygen, trimethylamine, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: In general, in one aspect, the invention relates to a method for statically analyzing a library that includes obtaining native method annotations associated with native methods invoked by the library and extracting facts corresponding to the library from the library to obtain library facts. The library is written in a first programming language. The method also includes constructing a type-object lattice, modeling an abstracted heap using the type-object lattice, expressing abstracted heap update operations as heap update rules, and constructing, based on the library, a most general application (MGA) for the library. The method additionally includes analyzing the library using the native method annotations, the library facts, the MGA, the abstracted heap, and the heap update rules to obtain results, storing the results of the analysis, and performing an action based on the results.

Abstract: A knock down corrugated cardboard container includes flat unitary bottom panel adapted for support by a conventional pallet. The bottom panel includes partial, integral stub sidewalls and an integral, hinged panel defining a full height end wall and full height partial sidewalls. A pair of clips are received within slotted openings which are aligned when the end wall and sidewalls are upright and in position relative to the short sidewalls. A second full height end wall also includes partial, full height sidewalls disposed opposite the full height end panel. A removable top or closure completes the carton assembly.
