Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a polycell for forming a dosage projectile suitable for administering a biologically active agent to an animal remotely, the polycell comprising a first component having a semispherical shell formed from a polymer and a structural agent; a second component having a semispherical shell formed from a polymer and a structural agent; and a filling port in the first component or the second component; wherein the first and second components when joined form a polycell having a substantially spherical hollow body adapted to receive an agent to treat an animal. The present disclosure is also directed to a dosage projectile comprising an agent to treat an animal sealed in a polycell.

Abstract: A photovoltaic module has at least one solar cell and a socket outlet with voltage outputs of the photovoltaic module. An evaluation and control unit, which detects a voltage and/or a current of the photovoltaic module, is disposed in or on the socket outlet as an assembly. At least one switching element is associated with the photovoltaic module, the switching element being actuable by the evaluation and control unit. The photovoltaic module can be disconnected by the switching element. The evaluation and control unit is configured to detect, based on the detected voltage and/or the detected current, a fault state. The switching element, based on the detected fault state, can be actuated by the evaluation and control unit in order to disconnect or short-circuit at least one of the voltage outputs of the photovoltaic module or the assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of plants with suppressed photo-respiration and improved CO2 fixation. In particular, the invention relates to a re-use of phosphoglycolate produced in photorespiration. The reaction product will be converted to a component that may be reintegrated into the plant assimilatory metabolism inside the chloroplast. This is accomplished by the transfer of genes derived from glycolate-utilizing pathways from bacteria, algae, plants and/or animals including humans into the plant nuclear and/or plastidial genome. The method of the invention leads to a reduction of photorespiration in C3 plants and by this will be of great benefit for food production especially but not exclusively under non-favourable growth conditions.
