Abstract: A stencil kit system facilitates the application of indicia to a substrate, such as a lawn surface. The system includes a stencil. The stencil includes a side wall having a top edge, a bottom edge, an interior surface and an exterior surface. Each of the top edge and the bottom edge provides access to an interior space of the stencil extending between opposite sides of the interior surface. The interior space of the stencil is shaped to define indicia. A top wall is coupled to and extends outwardly from the top edge of the side wall.

Abstract: The present invention relates to phytocannabinoids for use in the treatment of a breast cancer. In a first embodiment the invention relates to an oral presentation of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) for use in the treatment of aggressive breast cancer, characterised by overexpression of the Her2 gene. In a second embodiment the invention relates to the phytocannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) for use in the treatment of aggressive breast cancer, characterised by overexpression of the Her2 gene. In a third embodiment the invention relates to the combination of the phytocannabinoids tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) for use in the treatment of breast cancer or to treat, prevent or to reduce the risk of a cancer metastasising.

Abstract: A packing system for a plurality of prepreg rolls, the packing system comprising a plurality of prepreg rolls on a pallet, wherein each prepreg roll comprises a helical winding of prepreg material co-axially mounted around a central cylindrical tube, the prepreg material having opposite side faces, the central cylindrical tube having opposite ends which are each spaced outwardly from a respective side face, the prepreg rolls being stacked on the pallet in a horizontal orientation, with the roll axes being vertically oriented and the side faces being horizontally oriented, the rolls forming at least two layers of vertically stacked prepreg rolls, and at least one rigid separation layer, each rigid separation layer separating adjacent prepreg roll layers, the ends of the central cylindrical tubes contacting the pallet and the rigid separation layers to form a structural assembly of alternating central cylindrical tubes and rigid separation layers which supports the entire weight of the plurality of prepreg roll

Abstract: Process for production of hydrogen of high purity by photoelectrochemical means with low energy consumption. The process is carried out in an electrochemical cell which comprises at least one anodic chamber with an anode and at least one cathodic chamber with a cathode, in which the two chambers are separated by an ion-exchange membrane, where: i) the anodic chamber contains an aqueous anodic solution which comprises the Fe2+ion, and the aqueous solution is adjusted to a pH less than or equal to 5; ii) a sacrificial substance is added to the anodic chamber; iii) the anodic solution is irradiated with ultraviolet light and/or visible light; iv) the cathodic chamber contains an aqueous cathodic solution which has a proton concentration equal to or higher than 10?3 M; and v) electric current is fed between the anodic chamber and the cathodic chamber separated by the membrane, this membrane being a proton-selective ion-exchange membrane impermeable to the iron and impermeable to the sacrificial substance.
