Abstract: Provided are processes for the prevention or treatment of viral infection in a subject. Some aspects provide administration of a sphingoid compound, optionally sphingosine, an active ingredient that activates generation of a sphingoid base, optionally of sphingosine; or an active agent that inhibits the degradation of a sphingoid base, optionally of sphingosine, to a subject such as a human. By increasing the local concentration of sphingosine in a subject or an area of a subject to which the composition is administered such as the nose or interior of the nose or portion thereof, the ability of viruses to infect the subject or cells thereof is reduced thereby treating of preventing infection by the virus.

Abstract: The invention relates to arenaviruses for use in the treatment and/or prevention of tumors and also a method for preparing arenaviruses with (improved) tumor-regressive properties.

Abstract: A rail vehicle, in particular a locomotive, has at least one bogie with a bogie frame supported resiliently on sets of wheels, and a superstructure, which is supported resiliently on the at least one bogie and is mounted rotatably about a vertical axis, with a under frame. A removal device for removing snow and/or ice is arranged between the under frame and the bogie frame. The removal device has an inclined sliding surface which at least partially covers the bogie frame. Deposits of snow and/or ice both on the bogie frame and on the under frame of the superstructure can thereby be prevented or eliminated.

Abstract: An anti-CEACAM1 antibody includes at least one antibody heavy chain (VH) domain having antigen binding sites CDR1H, CDR2H and CDR3H, and at least one antibody light chain (VL) domain having antigen binding sites CDR1L, CDR2L and CDR3L. The antigen binding site CDR2H has a sequence homology of at least 80% to the amino acid sequence WINTYTGEPT (SEQ ID No. 21).

Abstract: A method for communication between at least two terminals (1, 2) via a network, wherein a first terminal (1) comprising a display device (3), at least one second terminal (2) and an information unit are provided, wherein the information unit transfers information data (6) to the first terminal (1), preferably via the network, wherein the second terminal (2) transfers communication data (16) to the first terminal (1) via the network, wherein the communication data (16) are presented on a first visual plane (18) of the display device (3) and wherein the information data (6) are presented on a second visual plane (19) of the display device (3). A terminal for applying the method is described.

Abstract: A particulate lithium metal/lithium sulfide composite material, to a method for producing a Li2S@C-coated lithium metal product, and to the use of said lithium metal product. The particulate lithium metal/lithium sulfide composite material has a core-shell morphology, the shell of which is made of a lithium sulfide containing C and the core of which is made of metal lithium. According to the method, the particulate lithium metal/lithium sulfide composite material is produced by reacting melted, drop-shaped lithium metal in a hydrocarbon solvent with a sulfur source selected from the group CS2, S8, H2S, COS, SO, SO2 or mixtures thereof. The method products according to the invention are used to produce lithium battery electrodes.

Abstract: The invention relates to solutions of Lewis acids selected from the halogen-containing Lewis acids of the elements of groups 12 and 13 from the periodic table of elements, or mixtures of said Lewis acids, in aprotic, asymmetrically substituted ethers or in solvent mixtures that contain asymmetrically substituted ethers and hydrocarbons, to the production of the solutions according to the invention, and to the use in inorganic, organic and organometallic syntheses.

Abstract: A compressor unit includes a motor and a compressor in a casing of a gastight form. The casing houses the motor and the compressor. The motor includes a rotor surrounded by a stator which has an encapsulation formed on the inner diameter as a separating can, so that a medium being handled does not damage the stator. The separating can includes a polymer matrix which is reinforced using a plurality of fibers. The polymer matrix is at least partly a ceramic fiber reinforced polymer matrix. The plurality of fibers are formed as continuous filaments. The continuous filaments include the length of at least 30 mm.

Abstract: A separating can is provided. Fluid flow engines and drive motors can be encased in a housing, if a separation is made in the electric motor by a tube-shaped component, known as the separating can. The separating can must be sufficiently large to be strong and electrically non-conductive. The separating can is made at least partially of a ceramic or glass-like material, or is made at least partially of a polymer matrix reinforced using fibers.
