Abrégé
The invention relates to a method of producing electrode materials for solid oxide cells which comprises applying an electric potential to a metal oxide which has a perovskite crystal structure. The resultant electrode catalyst exhibits excellent electrochemical performance. The invention extends to the electrode catalyst itself, and to electrodes and solid oxide cells comprising the electrode catalyst.

An etchant is described that includes an N-heterocyclic carbene and optionally an appropriate solvent. The etchant was effective at etching a metallic surface having, for example, a metal oxide and/or metal, in both solution phase and vapour-phase. The etchant has been shown to effectively etch oxidized copper and tungsten.

A method of depolymerizing a lignin includes oxidizing the lignin to provide an oxidized lignin wherein benzylic —OH of β-O-4 linkages have been converted to carbonyl. The oxidized lignin is depolymerized with a metal selected from the group consisting of zinc, magnesium, aluminum and titanium or mixtures thereof, in the presence of an ammonium salt or carbon dioxide. Also described are methods for manufacturing phenolic products from lignin and a method for the cleavage of a β-O-4 linkage in a substrate.

A method of minimizing cross-talk between optical modes propagating in a multi-mode optical fiber, comprises superimposing a plurality of optical wavefunctions; determining a relationship between superpositions of at least some of the optical wavefunctions and at least one measure of orthogonality of the optical modes at an output of the multi-mode optical fiber; and identifying a superposition of at least some of the optical wavefunctions that provides a desired or optimized value of the at least one measure of orthogonality using the determined relationship. The method further comprises generating, using light from a laser and at least one optical component, the identified superposition of at least some of the optical wavefunctions that provides the desired or optimized value of the at least one measure of orthogonality.

The invention provides a catalyst comprising iron oxide, nickel, ceria or palladium supported on stainless steel foam. The catalyst is effective in oxidising aromatic compounds such as toluene and o-cresol and, advantageously, is particularly effective when the oxidation is carried out at elevated temperatures that correspond to temperatures attained in areas of the aircraft where cabin air is recirculated.

Abrégé
The present invention is based on the finding that in addition to interfering with or blocking, preventing and/or inhibiting the interaction between a pathogen and, for example, a sialic acid containing cell surface receptor, certain sialic acid binding molecules have immunomodulatory properties. The invention provides methods and uses which exploit sialic acid binding molecules in the treatment and/or prevention of disease by modulation and/or priming of the host immune response.

Abrégé
An optical system comprising trapping optics for forming an optical trap using counter propagating beams of light and light sheet imaging optics for light sheet imaging a particle, for example a cell, that is positioned in the optical trap, wherein the wavelength of the counter propagating beams of light and the wavelength of the light used for light sheet imaging are non-interfering.
