Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound as a reactive diluent for resin compositions as well as a resin composition comprising the same for coating an article and a resin obtained by curing said resin composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a solvent-free wire enamel composition containing extrudable, polyesterimide-containing binders, prepared from polyols, polycarboxylic acids, imide-forming components, and structural elements which are crosslinkable after extrusion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel polypeptide vitamin K epoxide recycling polypeptide (VKORC1) as a target for coumarin and its derivatives. The invention further provides methods for identifying coumarin derivatives, and also claims VKORC1 polypeptides and VKORC1 nucleic acids containing a sequence abnormality associated with a VKORC1 associated deficiency such as warfarin resistance, wherein the VKORC1 polypeptides and VKORC1 nucleic acids can be used for diagnosing these deficiencies. Moreover, the invention relates to methods for identifying coumarin derivatives usable in pest control of rodents.

Abstract: A process is proposed for preparing hydroxyaromatics by heterogeneous catalytic reaction of hydroxyaromatics with C1-C4-alkanols in a microreactor (10), comprising the steps of: a) introducing the hydroxyaromatic and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of C1-C4-alkanols as reactants into at least one inlet orifice (22) of the microreactor (10) comprising at least one microreactor unit (18), b) passing the reactants through at least one microreactor unit (18) of the microreactor (10), said unit comprising a multitude of microchannels (28), said microchannels (28) having a lateral extent of less than 1 mm, and a heterogeneous catalyst being incorporated in the microchannels (28) for conversion of the reactants, c) passing the hydroxyaromatics prepared out through at least one outlet orifice (24) of the microreactor (10).
