Abstract: A shelter is adapted to protect any prospective passengers of a bus from weather-related elements while he or she awaits arrival of the bus at a bus stop. The bus-stop shelter includes an upstanding post defining a first end thereof adapted to be installed below a surface of ground by which the shelter is supported and a second end of the post adapted to be disposed above the ground surface. A canopy defines a substantially central portion thereof and is adapted to be supported at a portion of the canopy off the central portion by the second end of the post and substantially over the prospective passenger such that the canopy protects the prospective passenger from the weather-related elements.

Abstract: An in vitro method is provided for identifying nuclear receptors abnormally expressed by brain tumor stem cells and a corresponding ligand which, if administered to brain tumor stem cells (BTSC's), is capable of inhibiting cell proliferation. Once the nuclear receptor/ligand combination has been identified, it can be utilized in vitro and in vivo to inhibit the proliferation and survival of the cancerous stem cells and ultimately affect proliferation and survival of tumors. The method can be utilized alone or in combination with other treatment methods. The method can also be utilized with regard to other forms of cancer which have cancerous stem cells associated therewith and which abnormally express one or more nuclear receptors.
