Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, where abnormal brain accumulation of ? amyloid and/or amyloid plaques are involved. More specifically, the present invention relates to a non-human animal model for such diseases and its use in screening methods for molecules for treating same.

Abstract: An ice-cube making device for use in a refrigerated cabinet is provided. The ice-cube making device is attachable to a freezer liner and thus makes efficient use of the space in the freezer cavity. The ice-cube making device includes a mechanism for extracting ice by applying a twisting torque to one or more ice-cube trays therein. The ice-cube making device may also include mechanisms for refilling the ice trays with water and for providing a user-friendly installation. Aspects of the present invention may be performed either manually or may be automated.

Abstract: A method for removing arsenic from water by contacting water with a strong base anion exchange resin comprising at least one metal ion or metal-containing ion whose arsenate salt has a Ksp no greater than 10?5, provided that the metal is not zirconium.

Abstract: A linear turn down valve structure is disclosed, for gaseous fuels. The valve structure can advantageously be produced with aluminum alloys of die-casting grade, by means of a squeeze die-casting process. The valve structure comprises a valve body and a cap having register members to provide a self positioning and assembly of the main components of the valve. This eliminates the possibility of radial and axial misalignment thereof and secures a gas tight connection; a valve plug having passages in cooperation with a cap cam having three steps, to allow the safe switching of the continuous gas flow from maximum to minimum flow positions, as well as a safe turn-off position in a single operation; and a minimum flow control device to allow flow metering in order to permit the burners to operate with a wide variety of commercial gaseous fuels.
