Abstract: The invention concerns a recombinant modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA virus) expressing at least two external influenza virus antigens and/or an epitope of one or more of the at least two antigens and at least two internal influenza virus antigens and/or an epitope of the at least two antigens. The invention, thus, concerns a recombinant MVA virus encoding multiple external and/or internal influenza virus antigens, preferably from multiple influenza virus strains. The invention further concerns the use of said recombinant MVA in preparing a medicament and vaccine for influenza virus. Further encompassed by the present invention are methods, composition and kits.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a coating dispersion for coating printing substrates, especially paper and paperboard. Said dispersion is constituted of at least one defined percentage of water, a defined percentage of a swellable phyllosilicate and a defined percentage of a cross-linking agent. The cross-linking agent forms a bond with at least one functional group of the phyllosilicate as well as with at least one functional group of the printing substrate. The invention also relates to a method for producing a coated printing substrate onto which a coating dispersion is mechanically applied and dried, whereby the coating dispersion comprises at least the aforementioned components.

Abstract: Surface finishing of paper or board by applying an aqueous solution (Lw) of a surface-finishing active ingredient (W) to a hydrophilic paper or board sheet (B), in which (W) consists of (W1) polyethylene glycol with an average molecular weight {overscore (M)}w of>1500 and optionally at least one further additive which is a further finishing additive and/or a formulation additive, and the paper or board sheet surface-treated with (Lw) is fed through smoothing rolls and dried, the surface-finished paper and surface-finished board (Bw) produced, surface finishing agent for this purpose, and the use of the surface-finished paper or board as substrate for graphic processing.

Abstract: During the application of a coating material to paper or to cardboard, air inclusions in the coating material can interfere with production in various ways. It is proposed to measure the air inclusion content in a coating material by taking samples of the material. Each sample is introduced at a predetermined first pressure into a measurement cell which has a closed first volume. This closed first volume in then reduced to a closed second volume at which a predetermined second pressure that is greater than the first pressure prevails in the measurement cell. The air inclusion content of the coating material can then be derived from the change in volume required to produce the predetermined pressure change. On the basis of the measured values, degassing equipment can be optimally adjusted.

Abstract: A method for bleaching pulp using an alkaline, peroxide-containing bleaching agent for chemical pulp, mechanical pulp, waste paper and/or mixtures thereof, which optionally contains water glass and/or a complexing agent, contains, as an additive, a silicate ion exchanger which has been modified using an alkali metal carbonate or alkali metal hydrogen carbonate.

Abstract: A process for improving the dry strength of paper and for improving the effect of optical brighteners in the preparation or coating of paper which includes the step of adding fillers and/or pigments and anionic brighteners to the paper making process the improvement comprising adding to paper making pulp a polypiperidine halide absorbed in a dispersed state on a fine-particle organic or inorganic carrier before the anionic brightener is added.
