Abstract: Aseptic beverage products are prepared by mixing beverage ingredients together. The beverage ingredients include a protein source, such as a milk protein concentrate, and at least one buffering agent, with the at least one buffering agent including baking soda. Preferably, the at least one buffering agent further includes lemon juice concentrate. The pH of the beverage ingredients is adjusted to a level between 6.7 and 7.0 using the at least one buffering agent. The beverage ingredients are then heated to at least 139° C., and the at least one buffering agent prevents precipitation of the protein source during heating. Afterwards, the beverage ingredients are packaged as a plurality of aseptic beverage products.

Abstract: A microfluidic preconcentrator is provided, designed to receive a gas sample containing gaseous pollutants such as volatile organic compounds, to concentrate the gaseous pollutants and to transfer them to an analysis device. An assembly comprising an enclosure, a microfluidic preconcentrator, connectors and a means for holding the microfluidic preconcentrator inside the enclosure, a heating device and a cooling device, are provided.

Abstract: “CONSTRUCTIVE ARRANGEMENT IN A THERMAL CHAMBER FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HOME-MADE YOGHURT”, selectively chosen to be natural or greek, said thermal chamber being comprised of an outer container (casing) (1) provided with its respective lid (2); the said casing (1) embodied by an internal perimeter frame (3) next to its upper edge, which selectively accommodates and supports coaxially an inner container (4) and/or a filter container (6); wherein the inner container (4) has smaller dimensions than the casing (1), in a way that creates between the two structures a free perimeter space that works as an air chamber (5) which act as a thermal insulator to the thermal chamber (1, 2); being that the filter container (6), with slightly smaller dimensions when compared to the inner container (4), tightly fits in the inner container (4), but still with a depth not as profound as in the inner container (4), creating a collector interspace (7) between the bottom walls of both structures; the bottom wall of the filter contain

Abstract: A method for enhancing cognition or inhibiting cognitive decline in a subject comprises selecting a Ca2+ channel blocker that is effective, when administered intravenously to an animal in a nontoxic amount, to increase NF-?B expression in the brain of the animal; and administering the selected Ca2+ channel blocker to the subject, via a systemic route that affords an adequate therapeutic window for cognition-enhancing or cognitive decline-inhibiting effectiveness of the selected Ca2+ channel blocker, in an amount within the therapeutic window. The selected Ca2+ channel blocker can be, for example, tiapamil or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof.

Abstract: This invention relates to ?-SiC foam parts with a specific surface area preferably equal to at least 5 m2/g and with at least two zones A and B with a different cellular porosity distribution, wherein the parts were made by chemical transformation of a porous precursor medium comprising at least two blocks A? and B?, each having a different cellular porosity distribution, and in that the at least two zones A and B are derived from the chemical transformation of the two blocks A? and B?. This foam, optionally after deposition of an active layer, may be used as a filter medium in cartridges designed for the purification of exhaust gases. The invention also relates to manufacturing processes for preparing such a filter medium.
