Abstract: Provided herein are recombinant nucleic acids encoding a T cell receptor (TCR) fusion protein (TFP) and an interleukin-15 (IL-15) polypeptide and/or an interleukin-15 receptor alpha (IL-15R?) polypeptide, modified T cells expressing the encoded molecules, and methods of use thereof for the treatment of diseases, including cancer.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include computer-implemented methods, computer systems, and computer program products for predicting sensory perception. A non-limiting example of the computer-implemented method includes receiving at a processor a library including a plurality of indexed sensory descriptors. A sensory target descriptor is also received at the processor. The processor is configured to calculate a coefficient matrix based in part on the semantic distance between an indexed sensory descriptor and a sensory target descriptor. The processor is further configured to generate a perceptual descriptor prediction for the sensory target.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for cleaning and/or decontaminating polyester, in particular polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The apparatus has an at least partially heated rotary tubular furnace to be fed with a mixture of polyester and an alkaline material and is for carrying out a saponification reaction in the mixture. The invention is distinguished in that within the rotary tubular furnace a weir is disposed which at least partly closes the interior of the rotary tubular furnace, and an orifice is formed in the shell of the rotary tubular furnace adjacent the weir for separating undersize grain from the PET.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for cleaning and/or decontaminating polyester, in particular polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The apparatus has an at least partially heated rotary tubular furnace (1) to be fed with a mixture of polyester and an alkaline material and is for carrying out a saponification reaction in the mixture. The invention is distinguished in that within the rotary tubular furnace (1) a weir (22) is disposed which at least partly closes the interior (5) of the rotary tubular furnace (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for purifying and/or decontaminating polyester, in particular polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Said device has a rotary kiln (1), which is at least partially heated and fed with a mixture of polyester and an alkaline material, for carrying out a saponification reaction in the mixture. The invention is characterised in that the rotary kiln (1) contains a weir-type element (22), which closes at least part of the interior (5) of said kiln (1).
