The present invention relates to a planographic printing plate precursor comprising a substrate comprising a hydrophilic surface having disposed thereon a heat-sensitive layer containing a thermoplastic particulate polymer having functional groups capable of interacting with the hydrophilic surface. Preferably, hydrophilic graft polymer chains are present on the hydrophilic surface of the substrate. The present invention further relates to a planographic printing plate precursor comprising a sub...

Photosensitive compositions containing a polyimide precursor and a complex cation of a polymerizable carboxylic acid functional compound with a tertiary amino functional group; and use thereof to provide a pattern.

The present invention discloses a negative planographic printing plate precursor for infrared exposure having an image recording layer containing an infrared absorbing agent, a radical generator and a radical polymerizable compound on a support characterized in that a sensitivity ratio (S.sup.1 /S.sup.60) of a sensitivity (S.sup.60) when developed 60 minutes after infrared laser exposure to a sensitivity (S.sup.1) when developed one minute after exposure is at least 0.5 and less than 1.0 in the ...

A prosthetic denture precursor includes at least one artificial tooth having a root portion; and a photopolymerizable denture base material holding the root portion of the at least one tooth, the photopolymerizable denture base material being deformable so that a dentally operative position of the at least one tooth in the denture precursor is adjustable, the photopolymerizable denture base material irreversibly hardening upon exposure to light so that the at least one tooth is rigidly fixed to ...

A method for administering pyruvate is disclosed which comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a pyruvate precursor to a mammal in the form of pyruvamide or a pyruvyl-amino acid. The pyruvyl-amino acid is preferably selected from the group comprising pyruvyl-glycine, pyruvyl-alanine, pyruvyl-leucine, pyruvyl-valine, pyruvyl-isoleucine, pyruvyl-phenylalanine, pyruvyl-proline and pyruvyl-sarcosine, and their amides and esters as well as their salts. Associated with the admini...

A container (13) is arranged to be filled with a dry precursor material and the top of the container is welded shut. The container (13) has a generally cylindrical shape with at least a partially corrugated side wall (23). The top of the container (27) has a filling port (21) and a plug (22) adapted to fit therein. A cylindrical liner (24) fits snugly within the container (13) and extends between an inlet and outlet filter (25) and (26) located at the bottom (20) and top (27) of the container, r...

A microburst precursor detector utilizes a multiplicity of radar beams and samples radar returns, in each beam, from meteorological radar signal reflectors and processes the signal returns in a statistical manner to determine average radar reflectivity and to extract doppler signal parameters. These parameters are utilized to determine a second set of parameters; average doppler frequency within each radar beam, doppler spectral spread within each radar beam, and the skewness of the doppler spec...

A DNA has the nucleotide sequence shown in FIG. 1. The derived amino acid sequence is also shown in FIG. 1. Novel polypeptides have the amino acid sequence corresponding to amino acids 1 to 126, 20 to 56 and 111 to 126 shown in FIG. 1 and may be prepared by culturing a host organism in which the DNA includes the relevant segment of DNA cut from the nucleotide sequence shown in FIG. 1.
