Abstract: A first building panel (110) and at least a second building panel (120) fixed to a building substructure (300) in a predetermined arrangement thereby forming a joint profile (150). Each of the first and at least second building panel comprise a first profiled side edge (140) and a second profiled side edge (145) which are of complementary configuration such that the first profiled side edge of the first building panel is configured to engage with the second profiled side edge of the at least second building panel. The first and second profiled side edge being further configured to form an engineered adhesive reservoir (155) therebetween when the first profiled side edge and second profiled side edge are engaged together. The joint profile further comprising a structural adhesive (285) at least substantially filling the engineered adhesive reservoir.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a highly portable grill having an outer casing enclosing an inner cook box that acts as a heatsink to dissipate thermal energy, the outer casing being mechanically attached to the inner cook box at attachment points that function as thermal chokepoints for controlled conduction of thermal energy. In an illustrative example, the inner cook box may be mechanically attached to the outer casing via complementary screws and bosses to provide a limited thermal conduction pathway. The inner cook box may include a plurality of fins for added thermal energy dissipation. The outer casing may include a plurality of convection apertures to facilitate convective flow of thermal energy from the inner cook box to an external ambient environment. A limited thermal conduction pathway may beneficially allow the outer casing to be safe-to-touch while the inner cook box is still in use.

Abstract: Barley plants having reduced lipoxygenase-1 enzyme activity are provided, for example, barley plants expressing mutant LOX-1 protein. The barley plants of the invention are useful in the production of plant products such as malt and brewed beverages, particularly beer, having increased stability and reduced T2N potential.

Abstract: Tissue-specific regulatory sequences, including promoters from barley (Hordeum vulgare) genes encoding &agr;-glucosidase and cystatin-1 (cysteine protease inhibitor) have been identified and isolated. The gene promoters have particular utility in directing high level, germination preferred expression of heterologous proteins that impart increased agronomic and malting characteristics to a given plant. In addition, the invention relates to methods of producing transgenic plants by using chimeric genes, cassette vectors, kits, cells and methods comprising the promoter and signal sequence coding region of the gene for barley &agr;-glucosidase and the gene for barley cystatin-1.

Abstract: A genomic nucleic acid sequence encoding a 62 kDa barley endoxylanase has been isolated and characterized. The genomic DNA sequences are used to transform plant cells for expression of enhanced amounts of active endoxylanase.
