Abstract: The invention is directed to the use of triglycerides of modified structure, mostly known per se, as fuels, combustibles, or fuel and/or combustible additives, and to the fuels comprising them. In the description and in the claims the expression “fuel” means liquid motor propulsion materials and/or liquid combustibles. In addition, the invention is directed to new procedures for the simple, economical and environment protecting preparation of the triglycerides of modified structure and/or the mixtures comprising them, and at the same time the glycerol produced in the known procedures in large amounts can be utilized.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for optimization of the configuration of a hierarchical network having a first hierarchy level (LEVEL(j?1)), a second hierarchy level (LEVEL(j)) next below the first level, and a third hierarchy level (LEVEL(j+1)) next below the second level, each level comprising nodes (RNC's, HUB's, RBS's) each of which, in level other than the lowest, receives traffic from a cluster of nodes (HUB's, RBS's) of the level next below. The method comprises first determining an initial arrangement of nods (RNC's, HUB's, RBS's) in each of the levels other than the highest, allocating respective initial clusters of nodes (HUB's, RBS's) of that level to the nodes (RNC's, HUB's) of the next higher level, and performing optimizing iterations until they result in no changes in number, disposition and allocation of nodes (RNC's, HUB's, RBS's) over predetermined number of iterations.

Abstract: The invention relates to plants, especially transgenic plants, plant parts and plant cells overproducing an iron binding protein (e.g., ferritin) and having an enhanced resistance against a wide range of abiotic and biotic oxidative stress conditions (e.g., against treatment with paraquat or fusaric acid and against viral, bacterial or fungal infections). The invention also comprises nucleic acid sequences encoding an alfalfa ferritin or functional variants thereof and the use of such sequences for rendering plants resistant against oxidative stress conditions. The invention is useful for reducing environmental damages of crops caused by a wide variety of stress conditions.
