A composition comprising an aromatic polycarbonate branched or crosslinked with a residue of a compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein X, Y, X' and Y' are the same or different and are hydrogen or alkyl of one to about six carbon atoms, inclusive; W, W', Z and Z' are the same or different and are alkyl of one to about six carbon atoms, inclusive, and E is alkylene or alkylidene of two to about twelve carbon atoms, inclusive.

An anti-caries composition has a source of hydrogen citrate ions, preferably an alkali metal hydrogen citrate salt, an oxalate salt and an orally acceptable excipient, and optionally further comprises an ionic fluorine-containing compound. The composition may be in the form of dentifrice when silica is the preferred abrasive, or a mouthwash.

Novel substituted cycloalkanediones and their use for the control of weeds.

Good impact resistance is obtained with blends of polycarbonate and aromatic copolyester carbonate with preferred composition exhibiting a substantial ductile failure mode at break.

Asymmetric carboxylic acid ester having a long chain alcohol component are effective mold release agents in thermoplastic resins, ester of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is alkyl of from one to about five carbon atoms, inclusive; and R.sub.2 is alkyl of from about ten to about thirty carbon atoms, inclusive or monoalkenyl of from about ten to about thirty carbon atoms, inclusive, with the provisos that unsaturation is not on the carbon attached to the oxygen and the ester is essentially no...

The present invention involves the novel use of various classes of drugs, such as H.sub.2 and H.sub.3 agonists, as erectogenic agents in the treatment of male and female sexual dysfunction.

The novel optically pure compounds Na.sup.+, Mg.sup.2+, Li.sup.+, K.sup.+, Ca.sup.2+ and N.sup.+ (R).sub.4 salts of (+)-5-methoxy-2-[[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridinyl)methyl]sulfinyl]-1H- benzimidazole or (-)-5-methoxy-2-[[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridinyl)methyl]sulfinyl]-1H- benzimidazole, in particular sodium and magnesium salt form thereof, where R is an alkyl with 1-4 carbon atoms, processes for the preparation thereof and pharmaceutical preparations containing the compounds as active ...

A composition comprising water and the following components: (a) an epoxy compound comprising at least one epoxy group and at least one hydrolysable silyl group; and (b) a hydroxy functional polymer having carboxy and/or sulpho groups. The compositions are generally water-based and may be used for making films and coatings having good mechanical and physical properties.

Agriculturally-active aqueous compositions containing an agriculturally-active organic substance and water are stabilized by the addition to the system of a minor amount of N-acetyl-p-aminophenol. The N-acetyl-p-aminophenol is relatively non-toxic and is degradable, thereby making it particularly attractive for agricultural use in view of its high degree of effectiveness as a stabilizer. Advantageous agriculturally-active organic substances are the compounds having carbon to carbon unsaturation,...
