Abstract: This invention provides a method for stabilization and agglomeration of heavy metal bearing materials and wastes subject to acid and water leaching tests or leach conditions by addition of stabilizing and agglomeration agents such that leaching and mobility potential is inhibited to desired levels. The resultant material or waste after stabilization is deemed suitable for on-site reuse, off-site reuse or disposal as RCRA non-hazardous waste.

Abstract: Pleuromutilin compounds of the formula: are of use in anti-bacterial therapy.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for stabilization of combined heavy metal bearing materials and wastes subject to acid and water leaching tests or leach conditions by addition of stabilizing agents such that the leaching potential is inhibited to desired levels and the material or waste is free flowing. The resultant material or waste after stabilization is deemed suitable for on-site reuse, off-site reuse or disposal as RCRA non-hazardous waste.

Abstract: The junction temperature of an LED is determined. This result is used to determine an initial brightness value of the LED. The initial brightness value is derated by a long-term degradation amount that is determined using a stored indication of the lifetime total on time. The derated brightness value is used to determine an exposure for a capture system. The junction temperature is determined by measuring the ambient temperature and then keeping a running junction temperature determined from the on and off times.

Abstract: An adjustable boat whip assembly for maintaining a boat in spaced relation to a dock includes a boat whip, an elongate base member secured to the dock, a whip support member having a receptacle for receiving the boat whip in a generally upright position, and an interconnecting structure for attaching the support member to the base member so that the support member can move along the length of the base member. A fastener is further provided for locking the support member to the base member. In one embodiment of the invention, the base member of the boat whip assembly includes a structural tubular body having an upwardly extending top flange that is received in a slot provided in the support member. The arrangement is such that the support member is movable along the length of the base member.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) are inhibitors of the bacterial enzyme S aureus methionyl tRNA synthetase and are of use in treating bacterial infections.

Abstract: A data interface which is capable of receiving test information from a variety of biological fluid testing instruments employs first and second processes. The first process determines the type of data which is provided by analyzing the format of the test information using a master rules file. Once the type of the source is identified, the first process passes the data and a set of rules to use to parse the data to the second process. The second process extracts the test data from the information provided by the testing instrument using the set of rules identified by the first process. Furthermore, if the test information is received in pieces the present invention can marry the pieces to provide a complete data set to be stored in the database.
