Abstract: A method of creating photocatalytic surfaces, includes the steps of creating a plurality of alternate layers of TiO2 and SnO2 on a carrier, wherein the SnO2 layers are created from strongly basic solutions.

Abstract: An arrangement for use in a liquid treatment unit, which includes a generally tubular housing having a liquid inlet in one end and a liquid outlet in the opposite end, a generally tubular filter element arranged generally concentric inside the housing, through which liquid is fed from outside the filter to inside the filter, an elongated UV-generating element arranged inside the filter element, whose longitudinal direction generally corresponds to that of the filter element, material displaying catalytic properties and radiated by UV-light arranged on at least the inner surfaces of the filter element. The elongated UV-generating element extends a further distance than the generally tubular filter element, which extension is positioned adjacent the outlet, wherein the further distance ensures the flow of liquid, that has passed through the filter element, to flow a certain minimum distance along the elongated UV-generating element, thereby exposing the flow of liquid to UV-light.

Abstract: A device for treatment of fluids, includes a treatment chamber having an inlet and an outlet for the fluid to be treated, elongated UV light generating elements arranged inside the treatment chamber, a photo-catalytic structure arranged in the treatment chamber. The photo-catalytic structure is a filter arranged in the flow of fluid through the treatment chamber such that the fluid flows through the filter. The filter is designed generally tubular and placed adjacent and surrounding the UV light generating elements for radiating the filter with UV light, thereby creating treatment radicals, and the filter is placed such that the whole flow of fluid is forced through the radiated filter.

Abstract: A device and method for treating ballast water, including an enclosure having LJV radiating elements, and catalysts include a number of plates having turbulence and mixing generating elements characterised in that the catalyst plates are arranged in the enclosure, and that the catalysts having turbulence and mixing generating elements selected from one or more of the elements from the group consisting of perforations, holes, punchings, structured pressings, corrugations, and grooves. A system for treating ballast water in a ship is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel gene family identified as T-genes and being implicated in tumorigenesis having the nucleotide sequence of any one of the strands of any one of the members of the PLAG and CTNNB1 gene families. The genes and their derivatives may be used in various diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
