Abstract: A hollow prefabricated masonry wall panel is made at a fabrication site and is configured for transportation to a build site. The hollow prefabricated wall panel has a base row and an upper row formed of hollow blocks. A slit is formed in the top of each of the two side walls of the hollow blocks of the base row and upper row, the slit having a width no larger than 20% a width of a side wall. Provisional reinforcement is provided within each slit with a bonding material, a size of the slit and the provisional reinforcement configured to provide tensile strength during transportation of the hollow prefabricated wall panel from the fabrication site to the build site. At least one mid-row is laid between the base row and upper row so the hollow cavities are aligned to preserve hollow wall cavities that can accept code required reinforcement once transported to the build site.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing vildagliptin of formula (I) with high chemical and enantiomeric purity and compositions comprising vildagliptin. In addition, the present invention relates to (2S,2?S)-1,1?-[[(3-hydroxytricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]dec-1-yl)imino]bis(1-oxo-2,1-ethanediyl)]di(2-pyrrolidinecarbonitrile) of formula (II), processes for preparing, and compositions comprising a compound for formula (II). Furthermore, the invention relates to processes for determining the purity of vildagliptin using a compound of formula (II).

Abstract: A Grid management service for deploying legacy code applications on the Grid, without modification of the legacy code, the service having a three layer architecture that is adapted to sit on existing standardised Grid architectures, comprising a front end layer for permitting selection of a desired legacy code application, and for creating a legacy code instance in response to the selection; a resource layer, for defining a legacy code job environment; and a back end layer, for submitting a job for said desired legacy code application, together with information relating to said job environment, for submission to a job manager that arranges for said job to be executed on Grid resources.
