Abstract: A post footing device facilitates replacement of broken posts. The device includes a tube having an upper end, a lower end, and a perimeter wall extending between the upper end and the lower end. A sleeve has a top end, a bottom end, and a peripheral wall extending between the top end and the bottom end. The sleeve is insertable into the tube and configured for receiving and laterally supporting a post. Each of a plurality of alignment bars extends between the tube and the sleeve wherein the sleeve is held in position within the tube. The alignment bars are spaced around the sleeve such that the alignment bars align the sleeve in the tube. A support is positioned in the sleeve between the top end and the bottom end wherein the support is configured for supporting the post in the sleeve above the bottom end.

Abstract: The instant invention provides compounds of Formula I which are leukotriene biosynthesis inhibitors. Compounds of Formula I are useful as anti-atherosclerotic, anti-asthmatic, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective agents.

Abstract: The invention encompasses novel compounds of Formula I or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. These compounds are inhibitors of the microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) enzyme and are therefore useful to treat pain and/or inflammation from a variety of diseases or conditions, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and acute or chronic pain. Methods of treating diseases or conditions mediated by the mPGES-1 enzyme and pharmaceutical compositions are also encompassed.

Abstract: A method for identifying the risk of failure of a geological confinement system (10), includes the following steps: acquiring data concerning the system; based on said data concerning the system, breaking down the system into a plurality of components (11-17); modelling at least one component by at least one volume (131-134), the modelling being performed by discretizing in volume the component; generating at least one failure scenario of the system, the generation including at least one iteration of the following steps: analyzing a state of at least one volume modelling at least one component of the system; detecting, based on the state of the volume, at least one potential failure mode of the volume. The inventive method and system enable the risks of failure of any system of geological confinement, natural and/or artificial, in particular oil tanks used for storing CO2, to be identified.

Abstract: The instant invention provides compounds of formula I which are 5-lipoxygenase activating protein inhibitors. Compounds of formula I are useful as anti-atherosclerotic, anti-asthmatic, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective agents.
