Abstract: A fuel delivery system for an engine is provided. The fuel delivery system includes a tank, a temperature sensor, a delivery conduit, a return conduit, a heat exchanger, a first valve, a second valve, an accumulator, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a signal indicative of a temperature of a fuel present within the tank. The controller is also configured to control at least one of the first valve and the second valve to selectively bypass at least a portion of the fuel to the tank through the return conduit and the accumulator based, at least in part, on the received signal. The portion of the fuel is adapted to raise the temperature of the fuel present within the tank.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods for altering cell proliferation in a plant by modulating the expression of an endogenous plant gene whose expression product affects cell proliferation. These methods can be used to modify plant characteristics, such as seed size. In particular, the invention provides methods for modifying cell proliferation in the integuments and/or seed coats of a plant by inhibiting expression of endogenous gene encoding Auxin response factor 2 (ARF2/MNT) or an orthologue thereof, such that the number of cells in the integuments and/or seed coat is increased, resulting in increased seed size. The plant or plant propagating material can be transformed, e.g., with a nucleic acid construct, to increase or decrease the expression of endogenous genes or the orthologues thereof that affect cell proliferation. The invention also relates to modified plants and reproducible plant material produced by the methods, and nucleic acid constructs for use in such methods.

The fuel delivery system includes a tank, a temperature sensor, a delivery conduit, a heat exchanger, a control valve, a check valve, a bypass conduit, a bypass valve, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a signal indicative of a temperature of a fuel present within the tank. The controller is also configured to control the control valve to selectively reverse at least a portion of the fuel in a gaseous state from the heat exchanger to the tank through the bypass conduit based, at least in part, on the received signal. The portion of the fuel is adapted to raise the temperature of the fuel present within the tank.

Abstract: A fuel delivery system for an engine is provided. The fuel delivery system includes a tank, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, a delivery conduit, a return conduit, a heat exchanger, a first valve, a second valve, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a signal indicative of a temperature of a fuel present within the tank. The controller is also configured to receive a signal indicative of a pressure of the fuel downstream of the heat exchanger. The controller is further configured to control at least one of the first valve and the second valve to selectively bypass at least a portion of the fuel in a gaseous state to the tank through the return conduit based, at least in part, on the received signals. The portion of the fuel is adapted to raise the temperature of the fuel present within the tank.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for modifying cell proliferation in a plant which comprises the step of transforming a plant, or plant propagating material, with a nucleic acid molecule comprising at least one regulatory sequence capable of directing expression within the integuments and/or seed coat and at least one nucleic acid sequence whose expression or transcription product is capable of directly or indirectly modulating cell proliferation, whereby on expression of that nucleic acid sequence cell proliferation is modified. The invention also relates to a plant which includes a nucleic acid molecule comprising at least one regulatory sequence capable of directing expression within integuments and/or seed coat an at least one nucleic acid sequence whose expression or transcription product is capable of directly or indirectly modulated cell proliferation, whereby on expression of that nucleic acid sequence cell proliferation is modified.

Abstract: A method of producing a di-substituted pyridinium polymer by microwave-assisted polymerisation of a 2, 3, or 4-substituted pyridine monomer of the formula NC5R4—R?—X, wherein R is selected from hydrogen, hydroxyl, and substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl, and alkenyl groups, R? is a linking group, and X is a leaving group. Using this method, di-substituted pyridinium polymer compositions may be obtained wherein at least 50% of the di- substituted pyridinium polymer chains in the composition have the same degree of polymerisation.
