Abstract: A method for locating a mark on a casing of a turbomachine of an aircraft, wherein the method includes a) a step of visually inspecting the arms, the outer surface of the internal shroud and the inner surface of the external shroud, and, in the event that at least one mark is detected at step a), b) a step of manually mounting a visual inspection device around the inner end or outer end of one or more of the arms, and c) a step of determining the location of the at least one mark in a zone of the casing.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for mutation testing of database functions. A computing device identifies database functions for testing from at least one database. The computing device generates, for each identified database function, mutated database functions by automatically applying mutations to the identified database function that change aspects of the identified database function. The computing device deploys the mutated database functions to the at least one database. The computing device determines line coverage attributes associated with each mutated database function. The computing device selects tests for execution against each mutated database function based upon the line coverage attributes associated with each mutated database function. The computing device executes the selected tests against each mutated database function using test automation applications to determine an outcome associated with each test.

Abstract: The present invention relates to modulators of the interaction between G-protein coupled receptor 15(GPR15) and c10orf99. The modulator may be a small chemical molecule, antibody or other therapeutic protein. Methods of medical treatment and methods of identifying modulators are also described.

Abstract: A new blood unit cooling system was designed to cool blood rapidly to about 22° C. and maintain it at about that temperature, even in ambient temperature extremes, for several hours. The system incorporating a preferred eutectic solution including 98% 1-dodecanol 1.5% myristyl alcohol and 0.5% 1-decanol (having a melting point of about 23° C.) contained in a sealed flexible polymer layer, was used to cool whole blood-filled bags. The preferred design uses inner and outer containers, each made of transparent polyethylene sheets, where the inner compartments are filled with the solution and sealed, and then placed into each compartment in an outer container, wherein two compartments in the outer container are separated by a flattened and sealed portion of the polyethylene.

Abstract: A new blood unit cooling system was designed to cool blood rapidly to about 22° C. and maintain it at about that temperature, even in ambient temperature extremes, for several hours. The system incorporating a preferred eutectic solution including 98% -dodecanol, 1.5% myristyl alcohol and 0.5% 1-decanol (having, a melting point of about 23° C.) contained in a sealed flexible polymer layer, was used to cool whole blood-filled bags.

Abstract: An assembly comprising a wheel capable of rotating rapidly to aerosolize wastewater inside an enclosure designed for placement between a septic tank and its associated drainage area which reduces substantially the pathogenic organism content of effluent emanating from the septic tank. A source of UV light can be added inside the enclosure to further detoxify the effluent.
