Abstract: A composition for the promotion of alcohol and acetaldehyde degradation in a human is disclosed. The composition, which can be prepared by bringing all the ingredients together in intimate physical admixture, comprises an anti-hangover effective amount of: (a) essential herbs consisting of Ilex paraguarensis (Yerba mate), Eleutherococcus senticosus (Siberian ginseng), Panax ginseng and Zingiberis officinalis (ginger); and (b) one or more electrolyte(s) and, optionally, (c) sulphoraphane. Preferably, the composition is in the form of a low-volume, aqueous, after-alcohol drink, that can avoid some of the potentially adverse effects of previously-known anti-hangover preparations.

Abstract: A wind turbine generator is disclosed. The wind turbine generator comprises a nacelle and rotor, and a tower between said nacelle and a foundation. The tower comprises an ultra-high performance fiber reinforced composite (UHPFRC) tower part extending from the foundation. The tower includes at least four tower segments arranged on top of each other to form a column, and pre-tensioning steel strands or bars for pre-tensioning the tower segments in a vertical direction. The UHPFRC tower part is made in a UHPFRC with a percentage of steel fibers per volume in the range of 0.5 to 9, such as 1 to 6, and preferably in the range of 2 to 4.

Abstract: A wind turbine generator (1) is disclosed comprising a nacelle (7) and rotor (8), and a tower (2, 3, 5) between said nacelle and a foundation (4), wherein said tower comprises an ultra-high performance fiber reinforced composite (UHPFRC) tower part (3) extending from the foundation (4) and including at least four tower segments (13, 14, 15, 16) arranged on top of each other to form a column, and pre-tensioning steel strands or bars (22) for pre-tensioning said tower segments (13, 14, 15, 16) in a vertical direction, wherein said UHPFRC tower part (3) is made in a UHPFRC with a percentage of steel fibers per volume in the range of 0.5 to 9, such as 1 to 6, and preferably in the range of 2 to 4.

Abstract: An elongated object for use in subsea having a heating pipe and an electrical cable fixed to the surface of the heating pipe. The electrical cable has a protective sleeving for surrounding the electrical cable, composed of a series of elongated synthetic plastics components arranged end-to-end. Each component is an extruded frame work type hollow profile suitable for slowing down the impact over a long deformation path. A hollow space is disposed between the electrical cable and the protective sleeving allowing the cable to move into the protective sleeving.
