Abstract: The present invention relates to proteins and nucleic acids derived from Staphylococcus aureus as well as therapeutic and diagnostic uses of the proteins and nucleic acids.

Abstract: Immunogenic proteins from Pseudomonas aeruginosa as well as nucleic acids, vectors and transformed cells useful for expression of the proteins.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating wastewater by means of photosynthetically active algae that form a sediment in the resting state, comprising the following steps: a) supplying wastewater to photosynthetically active algae that form a sediment in the resting state, b) conveying the wastewater supplied to the algae against gravity from a lower level to a higher level while simultaneously exposing the wastewater mixed with the algae to light, c) introducing the wastewater supplied to the algae from the higher level into the upper region of a sedimentation tank, d) allowing the algae to sediment in the sedimentation tank, and e) removing the wastewater freed of the algae by sedimentation as treated wastewater.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for enabling transmission of substantially equal amounts of energy from at least one light source (LS) comprising intensity variations in time to at least two light sensitive points (LSP), said transmission being controlled by means of at least one illumination arrangement (1), and said method comprising establishment of a correlation between said intensity variations and at least one feature of said illumination arrangement. The invention furthermore relates to an illumination arrangement (1) for controlling transmission of energy to at least two light sensitive points (LSP), wherein said controlling transmission enables transmission of substantially equal amounts of energy to each of said at least two light sensitive points (LSP).

Abstract: Method for treating percolate water produced during, dry fermentation employs the following steps: charging a plurality of first fermentation chambers (F 1-F 5) from a first percolate water container (P 1) during a first period; charging a further fermentation chamber (F 6) from a second percolate water container (P 2) during the first period; feeding purified percolate water from the outlet/overflow of a sedimentation container (16) into the second percolate water container (P 2) or directly into a ferment chamber that is just being charged from the second percolation water container (P 1), from a plurality of ferment chambers (F 1-F 6) cyclically charged from the second percolate container (P 2); and feeding percolate water circulate from that ferment chamber in which the fermentation process has advanced furthest, into the percolate water container (P 2).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for anaerobic treatment of wastewater and sludge in a digestive reactor in which the length of stay of hydraulic components is decoupled from that of particulate components by discontinuous removal of a portion of the digesting sludge from the digestive reactor, enrichment of the extracted portion of the digesting sludge in a sapropel reactor, and feedback of the enriched digesting sludge into the digestive reactor.
