Abstract: A method for synthesising polymers through devulcanisation from waste containing elastomers, the method including: —a) contacting the waste containing elastomers with a solvent in the presence of a devulcanisation agent, b) heating the mixture produced in step a), at a temperature of between 20° C. and 250° C. for a period of between 15 minutes and 24 hours in the presence of a devulcanisation agent, the concentration of devulcanisation agent, and the ratio between the concentration of devulcanisation agent, expressed as parts per hundred of elastomer (phr) and a volume of solvent, expressed in ml, is: greater than 0.3 phr/ml of solvent or less than 0.2 phr/ml of solvent when the method is carried out in air, greater than 0.06 phr/ml of solvent when the method is carried out in an inert atmosphere.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a CRM system for use by a plurality of users. The system includes a plurality of client profiles comprised of general data profiles and product-specific profiles, each comprising a plurality of data parameters. Each client profile template is owned by an administrator. Each product-specific profile is owned (across a given client profile template) by a given product specialist. Each data parameter has a plurality of data values assignable to it and each user has access to at least some of the data parameters for a (non confidential) client profile and is authorized to modify the data value assigned to the data parameter to which he has access. The modified data values can be stored as temporary data for that client profile. At least one user can still directly edit new data values and validate existing temporary data values as updated data values.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) have HSP90 inhibitory activity and are therefore useful in the treatment of, inter alia, cancer: Formula (I) wherein Ri is hydrogen, fluoro, chloro, bromo, or a radical of formula -X-Alk1-(Z)m-(Alk2)n-Q wherein X is —O—, —S— —S(O)—, SO2—, or —NH—, Z is —O—, —S—, —(C?O)—, —(C?S)—, —S(O)—, —SO2—, —NRA—, or, in either orientation —C(?O)O—, —C(?O)NRA—, —C(?S)NRA—, —SO2NRA—, —NRAC(?O)—, or —NRASO2— wherein RA is hydrogen or C1-C6 alkyl AIk1 and AIk2 are optionally substituted divalent C1-C3 alkylene or C2-C3 alkenylene radicals, m, n and p are independently 0 or 1, and Q is hydrogen or an optionally substituted carbocyclic or heterocyclic radical; R2 is a radical of formula —(Ar1)p-(Alk1)q-(Z)r-(Alk2)s-Q wherein Ar1 is an optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl radical, Alk1, Alk2, Z, and Q are as defined above, and p, q, r and s are independently 0 or 1; and R3 is cyano (—CN), fluoro, chloro, bromo, methyl in which in which one or more hydrogen atoms are optionally replaced by fluorine

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and an installation for destroying munitions containing toxic agent. The process comprises equipping the munitions with a pyrotechnic fragmentation device and submerging in a pool which is filled with a liquid for neutralizing the toxic agent, closing the pool with a lid so that the pool is sealed with respect to toxic emanation, and igniting the pyrotechnic device so that the munitions is fragmented and releases the toxic agent into the pool. After the fragmentation of the munitions is neutralized with the neutralizing liquid, the pool is reopened for another cycle of destruction. The advantage is of completely destroying the munitions in a single operation cycle without the risk of contamination. The invention is applicable to the destruction of munitions containing chemical or bacteriological toxic agents.
