  • THERAPEUTIC TARGETS AND MEDICAMENTS INVOLVING P230/GOLGIN-245
    Publication number: 20110030073
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of cell biology and in particular the cellular processes surrounding inflammation. Even more particularly, the present invention provides targets for medicaments useful in reducing levels of TNF-alpha, an extracellular pro-inflammatory mediator. The medicaments are therefore useful in modulating inflammatory responses. Model inflammatory disease systems also form part of the present invention.

  • Method for creping fibrous webs
    Patent number: 5833806
    Abstract: A method for creping fibrous webs comprises: (1) applying to a drying surface for the fibrous web a polyamine/epihalohydrin resin creping adhesive; (2) applying a creping release agent that is a plasticizer for the polyamine/epihalohydrin resin and has a swelling ratio of at least 0.10 and a solubility parameter of greater than 20 MPa.sup.1/2 ; (3) pressing the fibrous web against the drying surface to adhere the web to the drying surface, and (4) dislodging the web from the drying surface with a creping device to crepe the fibrous web.

  • Creping release agents
    Patent number: 5660687
    Abstract: A composition for creping fibrous webs comprises (1) a polyamine/epihalohydrin resin creping adhesive, and (2) a creping release agent that is a plasticizer for the polyamine/epihalohydrin resin and has a swelling ratio of at least 0.10 and a solubility parameter >20 MPa.sup.1/2. Also disclosed is a process for creping fibrous webs in which the creping adhesive and the release agent can be applied together or separately to a drying surface for the fibrous web.

  • Method for determining fluid type and lithology of subterranean formations
    Patent number: 4008392
    Abstract: Disclosed herein in a method for determining the lithology of and the types of fluid contained within a subterranean formation. In the practice of this invention, high energy neutrons bombard the formation matrix and formation fluids. Induced gamma rays from inelastic scattering reactions are indicative of the type of fluid in the formation, and induced gamma rays from neutron capture reactions are indicative of the lithology of the formation matrix. Among other things, this technique permits differentiation between water-saturated limestones and oil-bearing sandstones. Also disclosed herein is a method for detecting the presence of natural gas within a subterranean formation.
