Abstract: Disclosed herein are treatment methods, vaccination methods, compositions, co-therapeutic methods, combination therapeutic compositions and kits comprising silvestrol and silvestrol analogs alone or in combination with therapeutic and preventative therapies. Disclosed herein are also methods, compositions and kits that can be used to treat cancer, viral infections, to modulate the immune system or as preventative therapies.

Abstract: Finely-divided dispersed solids are prepared by the emulsion polymerization in the presence of a free radical catalyst of a major amount of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer or mixture of monomers and a minor amount of a hydroxy-terminated organic compound having from one to eight hydroxyl groups, an oxyethylene content of from about 15 to 80 weight percent, a hydroxyl equivalent weight of from 250 to 10,000 and containing a polymerizable carbon-to-carbon double bond. The resulting polymeric solids are particularly useful in the preparation of reinforced polymer compositions.

Abstract: Rigid cellular foams are prepared by catalytically condensing an organic polyisocyanate in the presence of (a) a carbodiimide-promoting catalyst, (b) a trimerization catalyst, and (c) a polyfurfuryl alcohol polymer. The resulting foam compositions are characterized by carbodiimide and isocyanurate linkages and exhibit improved friability and flame retardancy.
