Abstract: A carrying apparatus for lifting and/or carrying motor vehicles has a first connecting device configured to be connected to a support arm of a lifting platform and/or can be received by the support arm, and having a receiving device arranged on the connecting device and having a carrying device received by the receiving device for carrying the motor vehicle. The connecting device forms a support section for supporting the carrying device. The carrying device is movable along a straight direction relative to the receiving device and a suspension device is provided which urges the carrying device into a first position of the carrying device relative to the receiving direction.

Abstract: The present disclosure sets forth alleles at two genetic loci whose presence reduces the saturated fatty acid content of Brassica seeds. Methods for producing plants containing those alleles, and which produce seeds having low saturated fatty acid content, are also described.

Abstract: Meissner's Corpuscles (MCs) are touch-pressure sensation receptors in glabrous skin. They are imaged by reflectance confocal microscopy to provide a non-invasive, in vivo quantification of their density or size to allow screening for, diagnosis or monitoring of sensory neuropathy and other peripheral nervous system disorders related to diabetes, HIV, or other conditions.
