Abstract: A modeling composition consisting of a wax-based and oil-based binder, a filler, and a coloring agent, wherein the filler is substantially a light filler comprised of hollow microbeads. The binder is comprised of solid wax, pasty wax, and a liquid component of a wax base, an oil base, or a wax and oil base. The binder is present in the modeling composition in an amount of 45 to 90% by weight. The modeling composition can be used as play dough for children or as a therapeutic composition in the medical field for training and rehabilitation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of arabinonucleosides of general formula I ##STR1## in which X represents a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom,from triacetates of general formula II ##STR2## in which X has the above-mentioned meaning, and the groupsAc respectively mean acetyl groups,which is characterized in that an esterase or lipase is caused to act on these compounds.

Abstract: A process for the production of arabinonucleotides of general formula I ##STR1## in which X represents a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom, is described, which is characterized in that an arabinonucleoside of general formula II ##STR2## in which X has the above-mentioned meaning, is fermented in the presence of an aryl phosphate of general formula III ##STR3## in which Y symbolizes a hydrogen atom or a nitro group andZ symbolizes two hydrogen atoms or two alkali metal atoms,with a microorganism that is capable of phosphorylating nucleosides.

Abstract: A process for the production of ergoline derivatives of general formula I is described ##STR1## in which the bonds represent two single-bonds or a double bond and a single bond.R.sub.1 means a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group with 1-6 carbon atomsR.sub.2 symbolizes a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group with 1-6 carbon atoms,R.sub.3 represents a carboxyl group or a grouping of formula--CONR.sub.4 R.sub.5 or --NHCQNR.sub.6 R.sub.7with R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 meaning hydrogen or an alkyl radical with 1-6 carbons atoms optionally substituted by a hydroxy group and R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 meaning an alkyl group containing 1-4 carbon atoms and Q meaning an oxygen or sulfur atom.
