Abstract: The invention discloses a soybean plant, or a part of said plant comprising the transgenic event CIGBDt-Def1 or the transgenic event CIGBIs-Def5, as well as a method for the detection of those events in soybean samples. It also provides a seed from a soybean plant comprising said transgenic events, and products obtained from a plant, or from soybean seeds, comprising one of said events. In addition, the invention is related to a method for the production of soybean plants resistant to glyphosate, and to diseases caused by fungi or oomycetes, comprising the introduction of one of the mentioned transgenic events in the genome of said plants. The increase in the yield of a soybean crop in the field can be achieved with the transgenic events of the invention.

The at least one central panel includes a plurality of openings and is positioned between and attached to adjacent containers of the plurality of containers, and the at least one side panel is attached to at least one container of the plurality of containers.

Abstract: A drilling machine and a drilling method including drilling a first bore in a material with a drilling machine by applying a torque to a drilling tool for imparting a rotation at a first rotational speed to the drilling tool, and applying a thrust to the drilling tool for advancing the drilling tool at a first feed speed into the material, wherein a drilling parameter is measured while drilling the first bore, and a second rotational speed and a second feed speed are determined based on the drilling parameter, then drilling a second bore at the second rotational speed and at the second feed speed.

Abstract: A triple expression vector is disclosed for expressing an antibody molecule comprising an Fc domain in prokaryotic cells and in eukaryotic cells. The triple expression vector comprises a polynucleotide encoding an Fc domain; a polynucleotide encoding a phage coat protein; a cloning site for cloning genes encoding an antibody molecule or a part thereof wherein the antibody molecule or part thereof does not comprise an Fc domain; a prokaryotic secretion signal sequence and a eukaryotic secretion signal sequence, or a secretion signal sequence that drives efficient secretion in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells; a promoter for mediating expression in eukaryotic cells; and a stop codon for preventing expression of the phage coat protein in eukaryotic cells.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of making and applying metalized graphene fibers in bioelectronics applications. For example, platinized graphene fibers may be used as an implantable conductive suture for neural and neuro-muscular interfaces in chronic applications. In some embodiments, an implantable electrode includes a multi-layer graphene-fiber core, an insulative coating surrounding the multi-layer graphene-fiber core, and a metal layer disposed between the multi-layer graphene-fiber core and the insulative coating.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to halogenated fatty acid lactylates, in particular to chlorinated fatty acid lactylates. The halogenated fatty acid lactylates now disclosed have antimicrobial and/or antibiofilm activity towards healthcare associated microbial infections.
