Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula I: useful HIV infection, AIDS, and other similar diseases. These compounds include inhibitors of the retroviral integrase enzyme that are useful in the treatment of HIV infection, AIDS, and other similar diseases characterized by integration of a retroviral genome into a host chromosome. The compounds of the invention are useful in pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment to reduce incorporation of a donor DNA into a receiving DNA.

Abstract: A new and improved multi-purpose table includes a tabletop which may be rotated between a lowered, horizontal position for use and a raised vertical position for storage. A plurality of the multi-purpose tables in their raised storage position may be stacked together in a high density nested and stacked array. The table includes a load bearing structure including a vertical frame member having an underside portion and an opposed upside portion and a divergent V-shaped frame member having a pair of divergent angled leg portions. The vertical height of the V-shaped frame is less than the height of the vertical frame member to permit nested stacking. The tabletop is hingedly pivotally mounted to the upside of the vertical frame member. In a preferred embodiment, rollers are rotatably mounted to the underside portion of the vertical frame member.

Abstract: Catalytic process for controlled oxidation of methane using microwaves, characterized in that it makes use of a catalyst exhibiting in its structure electrical charge defects and geometric deformations enabling it to absorb electromagnetic energy, or microwaves, under the effect of an electromagnetic field.
