The frame (available in two finishes) is Genesis Mjolnir seamless double-butted cromoly and the unicrown fork is cromoly too. You get a Shimano Sora groupset and Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, all for £999.99.

The new barge will be powered by a new 25’10″x12’3″ pushboat from Stanley Boats. Breezeswept photo

The downside is that they’re mostly zinc, I believe. If you braze a joint, then later decide to weld it instead, make sure to grind off all the brazing first, because you absolutely don’t want to weld zinc (metal fume fever).

If I may chip in here and request Ajay to add, if any. So Pinakin, this — normally in any sort of a government partnership or approval process, there will always be reconciliations, right? So there could be some pluses and minuses in the reconciliation. We are aware of some press reports. But I think we have fantastic partnership with the Government of India as represented by ONGC. And Ajay and teamwork very closely with them with the larger objective of increasing production for the country. The reconciliations will keep going on and they’re a normal part of the business. Ajay, you would like to add anything further on how you work with ONGC, how closely you work with them?

They also have superior corrosion resistance (steel corroded at a rate of 120 micrometer per year, while in a similar study, aluminium corroded at a rate of only 1 micrometer per year). Aluminium ‘s unique characteristics allow vessel volume and height to be increased without loss of stability. Large vessels can contain as much as 2,000 tonnes of aluminium. This allows for a considerable weight reduction when compared with their steel counterparts.

No tannery worker interviewed had a written employment contract. Some tannery managers deny workers legal entitlements such as paid sick leave or compensation when workers become ill or injured.

If the tube gets to any appreciable temperature, it will cool itself via convection provided it’s oriented vertically…

We therefore also analyzed mutant hybrid viruses containing either a serine or glycine in position 52 (N52S and N52G substitutions), thus accounting for all amino acid variations at position 52 which have been reported for naturally occurring TBEV strains. Interestingly, both the N52S and N52G substitutions resulted in titers of neutralizing antibodies in Encepur antisera (Fig. 3A) that were as low as those of the Nd mutant hybrid strains. These additional data support a hypothesis that the N52K mutation might affect the ability of Encepur to induce cross-neutralizing antibodies.

Hybrid WNVs/TBEVs used for neutralization assays.The generation of hybrid West Nile viruses (WNVs)/TBEVs expressing the precursor of the membrane (prM) and E proteins of TBEV on a WNV backbone has been described previously (19). Briefly, nucleotide sequences of prM and E proteins of TBEV strain Nd (GenBank accession no. U27495.1), and of the K23 strain used for Encepur manufacture (GenBank accession no. AM600965), flanked by WNV NY99 (GenBank accession no. AF196835) coding sequences, were generated by chemical synthesis (GeneArt) and cloned into a previously reported WNV cDNA system (20). In the hybrid viruses, the WNV prM and E sequences were exchanged with the respective TBEV sequences, which were embedded in the WNV backbone starting at the NS2B3 cleavage site of the capsid protein and ending at the signalase cleavage site of the NS1 signal sequence, such that the complete sequences of TBEV prM and E and the respective signal sequences were preserved, allowing efficient viral assembly.

Z.T. designed experiments and co-interpreted experimental data. I.N. performed synthetic experiments, characterization studies and interpreted experimental data. R.H. performed magnetic measurements and theoretical calculations and interpreted obtained data. All the authors participated in writing the manuscript.
