Abstract: A method of preparing a dry bulk carrier for sand transportation and fluidized unloading including disposing within a utility hold, fluidizing pipes having inflow openings and also a slurry inlet for fluidized sand, wherein the method further includes disposing a slurry pump connected between a slurry inlet and an unloading pipe, and where the slurry pump is placed in a hold adjacent to the utility hold.

Abstract: A device of a bulk ship for sand transport and fluidized unloading, wherein an unloading pipe communicates with at least one of the holds of the bulk ship, and wherein the unloading pipe is connected to a submerged pipe connector.

Abstract: A chiral polymer organocatalyst comprising a main chain and side chain organocatalytic groups covalently attached to the main chain, which organocatalytic groups comprise an amino acid or amino acid derivative of the following general formula (I), in which one stereoisomeric form predominates: formula (I) wherein the catalyst is bound to the polymer main chain via R1, R2, R4, R5 or R6 through a linker (L) or direct bond, and wherein R1-R6 and Z are defined as follows: R1 is H, a naturally occurring alpha-amino acid side chain or a non-natural commercially available alpha-amino acid side chain that may contain L; R2 is H, O (doubly bonded to give a carbonyl), O-L (where L is a linker), NH-L or L; R3 is H or doubly bonded to give a carbonyl with R2 when R2 is O; R4 is H, C1-C6 alkyl or L R5 is H, CO2H, C1-C6 alkyl, benzyl, L, CONHR (in which R is alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, arylalkyl or, heteroarylalkyl), tetrazolyl, CH2 coupled to a triazole moiety, an esterified CH2OH or CO2R (in which R is alkyl, aryl, heteroar

Abstract: The present invention relates to cyclopropyl derivatives of formula (I) and salt thereof. These compounds are NK3 receptor antagonists and may therefore be useful for treatment of diseases where the NK3 receptor is implicated, e.g. psychotic disorders.

Abstract: A method for loading and unloading of a solid substance having a high degree of water content from a cargo hold of a bulk carrier is disclosed. The degree of water content of the solid substance is such that a layer of liquid is formed above the solid substance. In accordance with the method, a predetermined volumetric ratio of solid substance and water is pumped out of the cargo hold by a pump that is seated on a float freely movable on the layer of liquid, at the same time as water is fed into the cargo hold at a volumetric rate substantially the same as the volumetric rate of water being pumped out.

Abstract: A method for loading and unloading of solid substance (6) having high degree of water content of a bulk carrier (5) is disclosed. The bulk carrier (5) has one or more cargo holds (2) receiving the solid substance (6) and the solid substance (6) having such high degree of water content that a layer of liquid (7) is formed above the solid substance (6). The solid substance (6) is being discharged from each cargo hold (2) by means of a suitable pump (15) which is placed on a float (1) being freely moveable on the layer of liquid (7) in the cargo hold (2). The solid substance (6) and water are pumped out of the cargo hold (2) by a predetermined volumetric ratio and water is being fed into the cargo hold (2) by a volumetric rate which substantially correspond with the water rate that is being discharged.
