Abstract: Provided herein are novel substituted thiazoles and oxazoles of the Formula (I): as well as compositions, including pharmaceutical compositions, containing the same, and the use thereof in the treatment of various neurological and psychological disorders, e.g., affective disorder, anxiety and depression, treatable by antagonizing CRF receptors.

Abstract: Novel compounds, compositions, and kits are provided. Methods of modulating A? levels, and methods of treating a disease associated with aberrant A? levels are also provided.

Abstract: A portable storage device (1) includes a memory device with a USB mating port (20) and a protective cap (30) detachably mated with the USB mating port in a mating direction. The USB mating port has an engagement portion (211). The protective cap includes a case (31) for receiving the USB mating port and a latching member (32) on the case. The latching defines a retaining portion (324) thereon to engage with the engagement portion (211) of the USB mating port. The latching member is movable between a disengaged position and an engaged position in the mating direction to thereby engage/disengage the mating port with/from the cap.

Abstract: A flash memory device (1) includes a cover (10), a metal shield (20) received in the cover (10), a printed circuit board (6) accommodated in the metal shield (20), a cap member (30) for shielding the front the portion of the metal shield (20) and a latching device for interconnecting the metal shield (20) and the cover (10). The latching device contains a resilient ring (40) containing an opening (43) for the shield (20) to extend therethrough and a fixing device (50) for abutting against the rear edge of the printed circuit board (6). The cap member (30) contains a Y-shaped outer shell (31) and an inner shell (32) retained in the outer shell (31). The metal shield (20) contains a number of through holes (211) and the inner shell (32) contains a number of fingers (321) for mating with the through holes (211).

Abstract: Compounds of Formula (I): wherein Ar1 is aryl; Ar2 is hydrogen, cycloalkyl, aryl or heteroaryl; Z is —C(?O) or a single bond; R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are independently hydrogen or alkyl optionally substituted with hydroxy; alk is an alkylene chain of one to six carbon atoms; X is —O—, —NRh (where Rh is hydrogen or alkyl), (CR6R7)m(where R6 and R7 are independently in each occurrence hydrogen or alkyl and m is an integer from 0 to 3), or —S(O)n (wherein n is an integer from 0 to 2); or prodrugs thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are inhibitors of CCR3 useful for treating eosinophil induced diseases such as asthma.

Abstract: Novel compounds, compositions, and kits are provided. Methods of modulating A? levels, and methods of treating a disease associated with aberrant A? levels are also provided.

Abstract: This invention relates to certain pyrimidine derivatives that are CCR-3 receptor antagonists, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, methods for their use and methods for preparing these compounds.

Abstract: Provided herein are novel heteroaromatic substituted cyclopropanes of the Formula (I): 1

Abstract: The present invention relates to the isolation and identification of a JOINTLESS gene from a tomato plant (genus Lycopersicon). More specifically, the invention relates to novel nucleic acid molecules isolated from a tomato plant, proteins encoded by such nucleic acid molecules, and antibodies raised against such proteins. The present invention is also directed to a nucleic acid homolog of a JOINTLESS gene and a method to identify a homolog in plants other than tomato.
