Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes an outer body panel and a reinforcement panel. The outer body panel at least partially defines a pillar portion that has a front edge that at least partially defines a door opening, and a rear edge that at least partially defines a rear window opening. The reinforcement panel is rigidly fixed to the outer body panel and includes an upper attachment section, a lower attachment section and a main section that extends between the upper attachment section and the lower attachment section. The upper attachment section is attached to the outer body panel. The lower attachment section extends downward from the main section to proximate a lower edge of the rear window opening. The main section includes a first contoured area defining a first seatbelt anchor support and a second area spaced apart from the first contoured area that defines a second seatbelt anchor support.

Abstract: The empty capsids of the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) are formed by the assembly of proteins derived from the pVP2 protein of IBDV, with a different size and with an application in producing vaccines and in preparing gene therapy vectors.

Abstract: The chimeric empty capsids of the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) are constituted by assembly of (i) IBDV pVP2 proteins and (ii) fusion proteins comprising a region A constituted by the IBDV VP3 protein bound to a region B constituted by a heterologous polypeptide comprising a polypeptide of interest, such as a polypeptide useful in vaccination, therapy or diagnosis.

Abstract: A safety inspection system includes a remote control unit having a user interface that is operated by a user to communicate commands to a main unit. The main unit is coupled to a power source, a source of pressurized air, and a trailer, such as a trailer of a tractor-trailer, to enable the user to verify the operation of a variety of lighting elements, which may include clearance and running lights, hazard lights, backup lights, turn signal indicators, and brake lights, and to further verify the operation of an air brake system of the trailer.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a process for the purification of acetonitrile from crude acetonitrile or mixtures containing the same, which comprises the following operations:(a) transformation of hydrogen cyanide and acrylonitrile into compounds of higher molecular weight,(b) removal of most of the water in an azeotropic distillation column, and(c) separation of acetonitrile from the compounds of higher molecular weight and residual water in rectifying columns.
