Provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising tumoricidal and/or antimicrobial components isolated from the supernatant of NK-92 cell medium and methods of using the compositions for killing cancer cells.

The present disclosure relates to a novel Lactobacillus plantarum CJLP475 strain having acid-resistance, bile-resistance and an immune-enhancing activity, and a composition including the same.

This disclosure relates to a system for monitoring pasture intake by a grazing animal species. The system comprises a sensor spatially associated with a body part of the animal to generate movement data indicative of movement of the body part of the animal associated with multiple points in time and a processing server. The processing server comprises a data interface to receive the movement data and a processor that is configured to evaluate the received movement data to determine for each of the multiple points in time an indication of a behaviour of the animal at that point in time. Based on the indication the processor determines a time value indicative of a time the behaviour was shown by the animal, and determines a pasture intake value based on the time value.

The present invention relates to the stabilisation of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) capsids, by specific substitution of amino acids in a specific region of FMDV VP2. The invention provides stabilised FMDV capsids and vaccines against FMD.

The present invention provides a reciprocal-flow-type nucleic acid amplification device comprising: heaters capable of forming a denaturation temperature zone and an extension/annealing temperature zone; a fluorescence detector capable of detecting movement of a sample solution between the two temperature zones; a pair of liquid delivery mechanisms that allow the sample solution to move between the two temperature zones and that are configured to be open to atmospheric pressure when liquid delivery stops; a substrate on which the chip for nucleic acid amplification according to claim 2 can be placed; and a control mechanism that controls driving of each liquid delivery mechanism by receiving an electrical signal from the fluorescence detector relating to movement of the sample solution from the control mechanism; the device being capable of performing real-time PCR by measuring fluorescence intensity for each thermal cycle.

An air purifier (100) includes a control unit (110). The control unit (110) is configured to acquire occupancy information indicating whether or not a person is in a room. The control unit (110) is configured to switch operational control based on a type of pet specified by a user and the occupancy information. When a person is not in the room, the control unit (110) preferably performs operational control to increase an airflow compared to that when a person is in the room.

Disclosed is an inline flow control system with parallel flow solenoid valves. In particular, in certain embodiments, the flow control system includes a flow control device with switch ports in electrical communication with a high float switch and a low float switch. The flow control device includes a first solenoid valve to control fluid flow through a first fluid pipe based on the high float switch, and a second solenoid valve to control fluid flow through a second fluid pipe based on the low float switch. In certain embodiments, the flow control system includes a manual bypass valve for a third fluid pipe. The fluid pipes are in parallel flow. In certain embodiments, the flow control system is devoid of an electronic controller. Accordingly, the inline flow control system can be retrofitted for existing flow systems with minimal cost and effort.

The present invention discloses compounds of formula (I) that are useful in the treatment of respiratory diseases of animals, especially Bovine or Swine Respiratory disease (BRD and SRD). ##STR00001##

An implant for the control of parasites in livestock comprising an isoxazoline compound of Formula (I) or salt or solvate thereof, wherein the implant comprises one or more pellets each of which comprises the isoxaxoline compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient and a method of preventing or treating a parasite infestation using the same.
