Abstract: A porous, low-conductivity material formed of metal or ceramic fibers provides the burner face of a gaseous fuel combustor for gas turbines capable of minimizing nitrogen oxides (NOX) emissions in the combustion product gases. A preferred burner face, when fired at atmospheric pressure, yields radiant surface combustion with interspersed areas of blue flame combustion. A rigid but porous mat of sintered metal fibers with interspersed bands of perforations is illustrative of a preferred burner face that can be fired at pressures exceeding 3 atmospheres at the rate of at least about 500,000 BTU/hr/sf/atm. By controlling the excess air admixed with the fuel in the range of about 40% to 150% to maintain an adiabatic flame temperature in the range of about 2600° F. to 3300° F., the NOX emissions are suppressed to 5 ppm and even below 2 ppm. At all times, carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons emissions do not exceed 10 ppm, combined.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel compositions comprising herpesvirus-specific oligonucleotides which are useful as primers to amplify particular regions of the genome either herpes simplex virus or cytomegalovirus during enzymatic nucleic acid amplification. The invention also provides a rapid, sensitive and specific method for the detection of the respective herpesvirus which may be present in a clinical specimen, using the herpesvirus-specific primers and enzymatic nucleic acid amplification; hybridization of amplified target sequences, if present, with one or more herpesvirus-specific oligonucleotide probes which are labeled with a detectable moiety; and detection of the detectable moiety of labeled oligonucleotide probe hybridized to amplified target sequences of herpesvirus DNA.
