Abstract: An apparatus for use in visual training of a subject, the apparatus including an at least partially opaque elongate occluder for at least partially occluding a substantially laterally oriented area of a field of view of a first eye so as to define an occluded area and a non-occluded area, and, wherein in use the occluded area moves relative to the field of view, and the subject views: at least one target that extends into the occluded area using both eyes so that the subject perceives an image of the target, the image in the non-occluded area being at least partially based on signals from the first eye and the image in the occluded area being at least partially based on signals from a second eye; and, ensures the target is at least partially aligned in the occluded and non-occluded areas.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and systems of determining targets of compounds and compositions, as well as a high through-put method of screening antimicrobial agents. The methods involve (i) the prediction of a target using two and preferably at least three different submethods, (ii) identifying the gene encoding the target by each of these submethods, (iii) analysing the potential targets of each submethod to predict the putative target, and (iv) validating the target and the drug which perturbs it.

Abstract: An inverse assembler that uses a memory map as a substitute for some microprocessor status signals. This reduces the number of signals needed from a microprocessor to perform disassembly.

Abstract: An apparatus for cutting and breaking rock includes a cutting disc (13) having an attached wedge (11). Cutting disc (13) can be rotated by shaft (16) to cut a groove into rock. After a pre-determined distance, wedge (11) is forced into the cut groove to cause the rock above the groove to be broken away. Shaft (16) is powered by a drive motor, and can include a kick back mechanism to prevent wedge (11) from being trapped in the cut groove. The entire apparatus can be mounted to the three point linkage of a tractor.

Abstract: A rapid, simple and inexpensive method to screen and classify proteins as partners of dimeric proteins is described. The method utilizes fusion protein constructs containing a DNA binding domain and complementary dimerization domains from a different protein. According to the method of the invention, protein partner heterodimer formation is detected by the ability of the protein partner to displace formation of DNA binding domain homodimers, and thus reveal a phenotypic change in a bacterial host which was dependent upon maintenance of the DNA binding domain homodimer configuration. The method of the invention may further be used to identify compounds of interest which inhibit such heterodimer formation, and especially to identify compounds which prevent heterodimer formation and activation of oncogenic transcriptional regulatory proteins.
