Abstract: A combine harvester includes a control device configured to function as a travel route creation unit, an automatic drive control unit, a course movement unit, and a course correction unit. The travel route creation unit creates, in a yet-to-be-reaped area of a field, a travel route that includes parallel first and second straight-line courses. The automatic drive control unit performs control on automatic driving and automatic reaping based on the travel route. While automatic reaping travel is conducted on the first straight-line course, the course movement unit modifies the travel route by moving the first straight-line course in a direction intersecting with the traveling direction. When movement of the first straight-line course results in movement of the first straight-line course in one direction, the course correction unit corrects a portion of the second straight-line course toward the same one direction.

Abstract: A combine generates an unworked land of an agricultural field through round reaping by which a reaping work is carried out while the vehicle body repeats straight travel and turning. The combine is provided with: a positioning unit that obtains a measurement point indicating a position of a vehicle body; a straight line generating unit that generates a work straight line on the basis of measurement points obtained between a work starting position and a work finishing position of one reaping work; and an unworked land generating unit that calculates, every time the work straight line is generated, an intersection point between the work straight lines intersecting each other, and that, when at least three work straight lines intersect to constitute a closed area, generates an unworked land in a polygonal shape with at least three intersection points being vertices thereof.

Abstract: A combine is provided with a control device configured to function as a route generation unit, a position setting unit, a mid-work route generation unit, or a self-driving control unit. The route generation unit generates a travel route by combining a plurality of routes for an unreaped region in a field. To perform mid-work corresponding to the work amount of reaping traveling at a preset mid-work position, the position setting unit sets an interruption position at which automatic reaping traveling is interrupted to the end point of a predetermined interruption route based on the work amount. To perform the mid-work, the mid-work route generation unit generates a mid-work route extending from the interruption position to the mid-work position. The self-driving control unit controls traveling and reaping based on the travel or mid-work route.

Abstract: Caspase activity and apoptosis are promoted using active, dimeric Smac peptide mimetics of the general formula M1-L-M2, wherein moieties M1 and M2 are monomeric Smac mimetics and L is a covalent linker. Target cancerous or inflammatory cells are contacted with an effective amount of an active, dimeric Smac mimetic, and a resultant increase in apoptosis of the target cells is detected. The contacting step may be effected by administering to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of The compoundic mimetic, wherein the individual may be subject to concurrent or antecedent radiation or chemotherapy for treatment of a neoproliferative pathology.
