Project Description
We would like asap a quote for following project on a Crouzet Smart, heatpump application.
Compressor heats boiler (55°C) and water for radiant heating (35°C)
3 NTC probes (if 1 spare available, a 4th probe)
1 contact pressure protection.
If spares input available: immediate heat boiler and/or immediate engage electrical heater to support radiant heating.
3 way valve
Electrical heater
Circulation pump (water)
The available M3 Crouzet function block Heating Curve is used to adapt the water temperature to the outside temperature.
Electrical heater is used when radiant water doesn't reach within a safety time preset temperature.
Heating of the boiler is postponed till lower night rates or immediately heated by a push button.
Once in a week, boiler is postheated by the electrical heater to avoid legionella.
On the screen, we see (eventually by scrolling down)
actual temperature boiler
Actual temperature radiant water temperature
Outside temperature
discharge gas temperature
Set value radiant
Set value Boiler
Actual hour
User can alter on the screen (eventually by scrolling down)
Set water and radiant temperature.
Change clock.
The amplification factor for the heating curve.
If the heat pumps run only on the lower night rates or continuous (on programming level, we will say in the code when lower night rates can be used, Saturday and Sunday are also the whole day lower night rates in Belgium)
When boiler will be heated (the radiant heating is stopped while we heat the boiler)
System stops when discharge temperature reaches overtemperature (set on programming level)
When radiant temperature is at set temperature, pump is stopped and compressors then runs some seconds longer (set on programming level) to pump down partially the system.
What would be the additional cost to make it possible we can monitor this via the www?
Kind regards

Durga Narayan Chaudhary News
Sushant Singh: Rajinikanth is beyond everybody
A specialist in character roles, Sushant Singh talks about how Durga Narayan Chaudhary (Jungle) and Pakiya (Satya) are as important and impactful as any larger-than-life mainstream hero
Having spent almost a decade in the film industry, Sushant Singh – the actor who came into the limelight after playing a vile villain in Ram Gopal Varma's Jungle – is pretty clear about his position. Emphasising the fact that character roles are as important as main leads, the actor believes that a movie is incomplete and lusterless without strong and well-etched-out characters. Singh may not be in the topmost league or part of the starry clique, but after talking to him you realise that he's more than content this way, 'coz it's not the Kapoors and Kumars who inspire him. He instead draws motivation from people like Om Puri and Naseerudin Shah – the kings of parallel cinema. We get into a freewheeling chat with Singh, who will soon make an appearance in Samir Karnik's Chaar Din Ki Chandni, and get to know more about the actor… Click here to read more

Extra-translational role of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases in connection to disease Abstract: My goal is to understand the expanded functions of glycyl-tRNA synthetase (GlyRS) and how they connect with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) diseases. GlyRS is one of 20 members of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (AARS) family that catalyzes aminoacylation of transfer tRNAin the first step of protein synthesis. Dominant mutations of GARS (gene for GlyRS) and YARS (gene for tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase) have been identified in the human population to cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) diseases. Also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies, CMT diseases are the most common heritable peripheral neuropathy, occurring with a frequency of approximately 1 in 2500 individuals. The CMT phenotype does not arise from a reduction in the essential aminoacylation function. This observation led to our hypothesis that these two tRNA synthetases have expanded functions (beyond aminoacylation) that are critical to understanding their connection to CMT. The focus of the proposal is on GlyRS. A search for interaction partners of GlyRS identified Daxx, a protein that interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of Fas. Fas is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, and the Fas-Daxx interaction enhances Fas-mediated apoptosis. Significantly, The Fas-Daxx pathway is implicated in CMT, as well as in many other neurological disorders including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. These considerations raised the possibility that the interaction between GlyRS and Daxx is relevant to the CMT disease-causing mechanism. Surprisingly, we found that a modified form of GlyRS specifically interacts with Daxx. We have identified the modifier of GlyRS to be a ubiquitin-like protein called NEDD8. NEDDylation is known to regulate the function of its substrates. Interestingly, the residue on NEDD8 for conjugation to substrate is the C-terminal glycine, which is conserved in ubiquitin and in almost all ubiquitin-like proteins. The first reaction in NEDDylation is the adenylation of the C- terminal glycine by condensation with ATP. It is chemically the same reaction as the first step of catalysis by GlyRS in aminoacylation. This consideration led us to propose that GlyRS is involved in the NEDDylation of Daxx which, in turn, regulates Daxx-mediated apoptosis. Indeed, we found that GlyRS-associated Daxx is NEDDylated. Thus, the work proposed here will advance understanding of the extra-translational roles of AARS and their possible connection to human disease.
Narrative This project will aid in understanding how tRNA synthetases function in connection to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, which is the most common hereditary neuropathy. The knowledge we gain in this study will also shed light on other neurological diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease) and Parkinson's disease.

OXNARD, Calif. -- Mike Jenkins is on his way to Pensacola, Fla., to have his surgically-repaired right shoulder examined by Dr. James Andrews, who performed the operation in January.
The Cowboys and Jenkins planned the trip a few weeks ago and coach Jason Garrett called the visit a "normal follow up."
The team hopes to have a more detailed report on where Jenkins is in his recovery from the surgery and when he might be cleared to return to practice. He is on the active physically unable to perform list and would need to pass a physical before being cleared. Garrett said the hope is that Jenkins could play in some preseason games, but Jenkins said when camp opened that he was unsure if he would be able to play in the Sept. 5 regular-season opener at the New York Giants.
"His conditioning is certainly getting better," Garrett said. "His strength and range of motion are getting better, but Dr. Andrews did the surgery so this is a normal follow up to get his take where (Jenkins) is and a better feel for how we want to proceed."
If Jenkins is not ready for the regular season, he could miss the first six games of the season.

FX has worked out a schedule for its three new comedies this season, with the fantasy football-based comedy "The League" first out of the gate.
The show, which follows a group of buddies who are all part of the same fantasy league, will premiere at 10:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 29 following "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." The animated comedy "Archer," which got a sneak preview after "Sunny" last week, will make its official debut in January, while "Louie," starring comedian Louis C.K., will roll out in the first quarter of 2010.
The cable channel had originally hoped to get "Archer," a show about bickering spies from "Frisky Dingo" creator Adam Reed, on the air this fall as well. The show ended up taking longer to animate than anticipated, however, so it's been pushed back. FX has ordered six episodes and four additional scripts.
With football being an element of the story, FX did want to make sure "The League" had its six-week run in the fall. The show stars Mark Duplass, Steve Rannazzisi, Nick Kroll, Paul Scheer, Katie Aselton and Jon Lajoie; production got underway Monday.
"Louie" will follow a fictionalized version of Louis C.K.'s real life as a single father of two daughters in New York.

The broad goal of this proposal is to develop novel methodologies to achieve site-selective labeling of peptides and peptidomimetics with PET tracers. The novel strategies will be based on the incorporation of bioorthogonally labeled unnatural amino acids via solid phase peptide synthesis protocols. The resulting radiolabeled peptides will be evaluated in parallel, and hit candidates further tested in animal imaging experiments. The candidate, Thomas Reiner, has extensive experience in the quantitative sciences, specifically synthetic organometallic and organic chemistry. He has worked on bioorthogonal strategies before. He will apply his skillset to this translational approach, which i at the interface of organic synthesis, biology and biomedical imaging. The successful development of techniques and protocols which allow site-selective incorporation of bioorthogonal labels into peptides, as well as the parallelized evaluation of their corresponding radiolabeled versions will represent a major step in biomedical imaging research, greatly facilitating design, evaluation, and ultimately clinical translation of diagnosic radiolabeled probes. The long term goal of the candidate is to develop novel and more efficient methodologies which allow conjugation of PET labeled imaging agents to targeted biomolecules. This work will be performed at the Department of Radiology of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center under the mentorship of Dr. Jason Lewis. Both Dr. Hedvig Hricak and Dr. Wolfgang Weber, who are experts in preclinical and clinical imaging research, will serve as co-mentors. The members of the advisory committee are fully committed to the mentored research training of the candidate, allowing him to develop a strong and successful career as an independent biomedical researcher.
The specific aims of this proposal are to first synthesize tetrazine and trans-cyclooctene amino acids, followed by their incorporation into somatostatin-analogs, generating a library of bioorthogonally labeled peptides. Then, these peptides will be converted into their corresponding 18F, 89Zr and 64Cu labeled versions by utilizing parallel bioorthogonal assembly and purification techniques. High affinity and selectivity peptides will subsequently be tested in animal models of cancer. Here, tetrazine and trans-cyclooctene amino acids will not only allow the fast and selective synthesis, but also the rapid chromatography free purification of radiolabeled peptides, facilitating multiplexed parallel synthesis of radiolabeled peptide libraries. Hit candidates will be evaluated for their performance as targeted probes in animal models of cancer. If successful, these new technologies will allow the rational and high-throughput evaluation of targeted peptidic PET probes, streamlining their development and increasing the chances of successful outcomes. The design of radiolabeled targeted peptides via tetrazines/trans-cyclooctenes could become a standard technique for preclinical biomedical imaging and ultimately clinical research.
This project aims to create novel methodologies to achieve site-selective radiolabeling of peptides using bioorthogonal chemistries. If successful, libraries f peptides conjugated to different PET isotopes will be tested in vitro in a high throughput screen, and hit candidates further evaluated in small animal imaging experiments. Ultimately, such a technique will decrease the development time of potential clinical candidates and thus increase the likelihood of successful translation to the clinic.

Great product for reasonable price. Cheap international shipping rate to Germany. One problem that occurred though was the way shipping was handled. IHerb forgot to to label the package with its content which resulted in me having to go to the customs and pck up the package after verifying its content (meaning opening the box and confirming the content of the product via customs regulations). Surprisingly the package even made it to Germany and was able to the leave the us without content labeling.

Magnesium Citrate is great
Posted by nataliuncik on Mar 20, 2014
Magnesium citrate is rapidly absorbed and eases aches and pains and is particularly effective for "time of the month" pains. No other magnesium supplement worked to stop my feet from cramping at night. You will not believe how much better you will feel after as little as two weeks.

Doesn't bother my stomach as long as I don't take too much, if you do, expect many trips to the restroom. The tablets are extremely easy to swallow. It is very effective for my purposes.

How Can Single Moms Handle a Child's Irregular Behavior Following Divorce?
By Melissa Chapman
As soon as the ink on your divorce papers dried while your son seemed to take it all in stride and hasn't missed a beat, your daughter has not fared as well. All of a sudden your chatty little girl has turned from a bright shining star pupil to a C-student who is sullen, moody and unwilling to communicate with you.
According to Virginia Bentz, a single mom and the author of a Quick Guide to Good Kids', when a child is attentive to her schoolwork, maintains close friendships with nice kids, and is eating and sleeping normally, those are all signs that she is coping well with the situation.
"These are all the key elements that single parents should be watching for, and if these elements of your child's life are going well, then your child is probably doing fine," says Bentz. "However, I would still keep track of this child on a daily basis, touching base at dinnertime and bedtime especially, to get his casual comments about what happened during the day, what his concerns are, and whether there's anything you can do to help him out. Even if it's as simple as buying him that 89 cent poster board from Wal-Mart that he'll need for his science project!"
But there is cause for concern regarding a child whose grades have fallen, who is sullen and uncommunicative with their parent. Bentz offers these strategies to help a single mom get her child, who exhibits these behaviors post divorce, back on a more positive path.
"A child is a fairly emotional being and therefore it would be hard for her to be totally uncommunicative," says Bentz. "Quite possibly she's confiding in someone elseand that person may be able to help her get turned around."
- Privately (without your child's knowledge) try to get some information about her behavior from her teachers, youth group leaders, a favorite guidance counselor, even aunts or grandmothers in whom she has confided in the past, just to see if they could give you a detail or two to shed light on what's bothering her. Let these"extended family" people know you're concerned about her and that whatever they could do to help her you'd appreciate it.
- Make every effort to reduce the stress level at home.Give up keeping up with the Joneses; let the house go as long as everyone's got something to eat and clean clothes to wear.
- Avoid criticizing your child even though she was is not performing so well. Tell her frequently that you love her; try to be tender and compliment her whenever you can to raise her comfort level with you.
- "Go out of your way to do comforting things for her, like making that batch of chocolate chip cookies and taking a plate to her room while they're still warm, with a glass of milk. That's hard to resist," says Bentz. "Be prepared to spend as much time with your daughter as possible. Attend a movie together, or go for a Chinese dinner; something special just the two of you can share."
- Try to make yourself available especially at dinner time and at bedtime. These are the two times of the day when all kids; even teenagers feel the most tired and vulnerable and confide their feelings.
- "Give out that good night kiss every evening, andbe relaxed and loving," says Betz. "I know, I know! This is so exhausting! When it's 11:00 p.m., and you're a tired single parent, you just want to go to sleep! You want to say, please, leave me alone; I've had enough grief today! Don't give me another problem! But, it's important that when you finally get that little confiding softness coming through the sullen armor that you're sitting down on her bed and giving her your full attention. This is the scenario where everything comes pouring out. Kids want to be able to confide to a willing, sympathetic ear and you have to take those confidences whenever they come no matter how tired you are."
- Protect this re-opened communication with all your might.
- "Avoid the hysterics once her secret thoughts are revealed and focus on working on what you can do together to improve the situation for her," says Bentz. "Maybe she needs to see a counselor to work through her feelings about the divorce. Maybe she needs a day off from school to catch up on her homework. Or maybe she has a friend who is nothing but trouble and it will take some time and patience for her to extricate herself. Be very patient. Whatever the case, know that it will get better little by little now that she's communicating with you again."

Fire Me Up
- Artists I Said No, Sister Bliss
- Release Date 2013-05-14
- Labels Junkdog Records
- Catalog JNKDG04
- Description The next release on Sister Bliss' fledgling Junkdog label is the debut from London based duo 'I Said No' I Said No is a 10 year culmination of experience between two friends, Dan Smith and Tom Puttick who met in 2003, spending the entire summer hanging out and spinning records for friends in the sun. Vowing to one day write music together and battling 10 years of best intentions, the stars have finally aligned and they've set up studio in Wimbledon, a stone's throw from Dan's mastering studio @ Finyl Tweek. In 2010, Dan's business partner, Shane (or the Cutter as he's better known), mastered Faithless' last album 'The Dance'. During the time, a beautiful synergy was formed around the love of high quality sounding music. Dan got to know Blissy & Rollo when remixing their single 'Tweak Your Nipple'. Jump to December 2012, the world had survived the apocalypse and I Said No had began putting beat to bass. One late evening, after mixing down the first version of Fire Me Up (then called Cutting Up A Hologram...long story), they sent the early version to Blissy to get feedback on the mix. She was an immediate fan and the rest, as they say, is History.On vocal duties, I Said No teamed up with the articulate, expressive and eloquent Ella Chi, a long time collaborator with Dan since their days in college around the same time. A series of cool coincidences led to the vocals being recorded at Abbey Road - We said the stars had aligned - and the results speak for themselves. The I Said No sound comes on strong with the swagger of a 21st Century Basement Jaxx on a dark night in Berghain, or Basement Tech, if you will. With the second single already well under way in the studio, and tracks already being pencilled for an album, you can expect to hear a lot more from these guys in the near future. 10 years of wild experience and pent up inspiration have finally come together.The tap has burst and the juices are flowing. Fire Me Up is released on Junk Dog on May 15th and includes an explosive remix from label head Sister Bliss,

The first Nokia-branded Android smartphone has been officially announced in China, and it brings with it a premium design and solid spec list for a retail price of under $250. There's some bad news too though.
While the new generation of Nokia phones are being produced in conjunction with the brand's new licensee, HMD Global, they're still carrying the eponymous trademark. The first such device is the Nokia 6, which is going on sale in China "in early 2017," according to HMD Global. Unfortunately, the handset's being launched as an exclusive for China, so we're not expecting to see it go on sale in other regions, which is a disappointing relaunch for an iconic brand such as Nokia.
Nonetheless, if you're in China (or pursue the grey import route), the Nokia 6 offers up a 5.5-inch full HD display, 16 MP rear-facing camera, 8 MP selfie camera and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor. It also features 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, and perhaps more interestingly, also manages to pack in dual speakers for better audio performance.
The price for the Nokia 6 looks reasonable too, at just 1,699 CNY it works out at less than $250, making it a good value for the specs. It's due to arrive running Android Nougat, too.
Following the demise of Nokia over the past several years – falling from mobile powerhouse to a virtual irrelevancy – it's slightly disappointing to see that the first handset for the newly-licensed brand isn't going to go on sale in the US or Europe.
We should get to see a new Nokia handset launched for these regions soon enough though, as global availability of the brand is very much a part of its roadmap.
Would you buy the Nokia 6 if you could? What do you think of Nokia's not-so-grand comeback? Let us know in the comments below!
9 comments
for me disappointed with SD430
how many people that have worked on the real Nokia in the past have worked on this new "Nokia"? which companies that produced he old Nokia are now involved?
to me it looks, this new phone had nothing to do with my fond Nokia-memories and Nokia- experiences. therefore I'm not so much more interested in this phone as other phones to become my new handy.
I had Nokia for a few years but every phone went wrong so thats what they want to concentrate on, reliability.
Which Nokia phones did you have that were unreliable?
Just cannot for the life of me remember the models as it was about 5years ago but every one the touch screen stopped working after less than a year old, but as i said they did have a very good camera for that time.
If Samsung keep copying Apple and getting rid of the features that make Samsung great I might look at Nokia as an alternative
Which features would you want to see Nokia bring as they make their comeback?
When your owed by a Chinese company you have to sell there First,Looks Very Good but the Specs let it down,Just dying to see what Nokia will show off at the Mobile Conference in Barcelona,Symbian was like using Android,but Nokia just couldn"t seem to Advance it any further,People already know that Nokia always used to release Top Class Camera phones,so hope they get over there Windows mistake,and become successful again with Android
I hope Nokia will launch more smartphones with top quality cameras in the future. That was a big draw for people to buy their phones, even though they had Windows.

Punished for precision (or, too much information from the micro lab!)
We recently had a patient's blood culture turn positive for a Gram-positive, catalase-positive, facultative diphtheroid. In the "pre-matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)" era, we'd have called this isolate a "diphtheroid." Taking into account other aspects of the case, the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) definition would have categorized this as a contaminant (diphtheroids being on the "common commensal" list maintained by NHSN). By virtue of the wonders of mass spectrometry, we are now able to identify the organism to species-level as Actinomyces neuii, an organism previously categorized as CDC group 1-like coryneform bacteria (also on the "common commensal" list).
A. neuii isn't anywhere on the NHSN organism lists. However, Actinomyces species (as a group) can be found on the "all organisms" list but NOT on the "common commensal" list. The NHSN rules tell us we have to categorize any organism on the "all organisms" list that isn't also on the "common commensals" list as a pathogen, meaning this positive blood culture now helps define a central-line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI).
And that's the story of how a contaminated blood culture became a CLABSI. We've had other similar cases since we introduced MALDI-time of flight (TOF). Before the CLABSI rate became worth millions of dollars to a hospital's bottom line and reputation, this might have been easy to navigate. Now, though, it's a much bigger deal.

Re-testing PISA Students One Year Later: On School Value Added Estimation Using OECD-PISA
Thanks to the effort of two local educational authorities, in two regions of North Italy (Valle d'Aosta and the autonomous province of Trento) the PISA 2009 test was re-administered to the same students one year later. This paper is the first to analyse in the OECD-PISA context the potential advantages of re-testing the same students in order to provide better measures of schools' contributions to student achievement. We show that while cross-sectional measures of school value added based on PISA student literacy, which measures "knowledge for life", tend to be very volatile over time whenever there is a high year-to-year attrition in the student population, longitudinal measures of school value added are very robust to student attrition (even without controlling for sample selection). Moreover, persistence in individual test scores tends to be higher in highly "selective" (i.e. high drop-out) school environments.

BeschreibungSitting by himself in the back of the class, 10th-grader Yugi always had his head in some game -until he solved the Millennium Puzzle, an Egyptian artifact containing the spirit of a master gambler from the age of the Pharoahs! Ages 13+.
PortraitArtist/author Kazuki Takahashi first tried to break into the manga business in 1982, but success eluded him until Yu-Gi-Oh! debuted in the Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1996. Yu-Gi-Oh!'s themes of friendship and fighting, together with Takahashi's weird and imaginative monsters, soon became enormously successful, spawning a real-world card game, video games, and three anime series (two Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! series and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX). A lifelong gamer, Takahashi enjoys Shogi (Japanese chess), Mahjong, card games, and tabletop RPGs, among other games.

The story of The Philadelphia Experiment doesn't convince me really. I thought it was based on a true story, but it seems too whack to be true, IMO. I've found a little bit of background information here though. It's interesting, but I don't think this whole time traveling thing actually worked that way. Maybe it is true and the ship vanished somehow, but I could imagine the time traveling part was just a myth added to the story. Concerning the movie it was obvious it is an old movie, from 1984. The special effects were really a mess, but probably quite a progress already at that time. And kissing in movies must still have been a very weird thing in the early 80ies. The guy exaggerated the whole kissing parts at times and almost ended up having an orgasm, while I sat here and said – hello? It's just a kiss! But very funny sometimes to watch old movies.

Prenatal alcohol exposure represents a major public health concern, resulting in a spectrum of disorders associated with a wide range of physical abnormalities, facial dysmorphology, and neuropsychological impairments. Alcohol's adverse effects on brain development and cognitive abilities are among the most devastating consequences. Prenatal exposure to alcohol is one of the leading preventable causes of birth defects, intellectual disability, and neurodevelopmental disorders. However, despite extensive public health warnings and prevention efforts, women continue to consume alcohol during pregnancy, particularly in patterns known to be of high risk to the developing fetus. The prevalence of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) is estimated to be as high as 2-5% of young school children in the U.S., placing considerable social and economic burdens on the individual, families, and community. These significant ramifications call for the development of comprehensive treatment programs to ameliorate the adverse consequences of prenatal alcohol exposure. Choline, an essential nutrient, is critical for fetal brain development and studies have shown that early supplementation leads to long-lasting cognitive enhancement. Animal models of FASD have also revealed that choline supplementation can reduce the severity of alcohol-related cognitive impairments, even when given postnatally after alcohol damage has occurred. Given this preclinical evidence, the goal of the current proposal is to translate these findings toa clinical population and determine if choline can effectively reduce neuropsychological impairments in children with FASD. Currently, two clinical studies are examining the effects of prenatal choline supplementation in women drinking alcohol during pregnancy as well as early postnatal supplementation in young children. However, as many children with FASD are not diagnosed until they enter school, it is essential to examine treatment options that can be effective throughout middle and later childhood. Animal data suggest that choline may still be effective even when administered during this later period of development. Thus, this study will determine whether choline can improve cognitive functioning in school age children.
The specific aims of the proposal are to investigate whether choline supplementation can reduce the severity of learning and memory, executive function, and attention deficits in children with FASD.
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) is a serious public health concern not only within the U.S. but also throughout the world. Because women continue to drink alcohol during pregnancy despite known risks, there is a need to seek effective treatments that will mitigate developmental alcohol-related deficits. Animal models have demonstrated that the nutritional supplement choline can ameliorate the severity of cognitive deficits associated with developmental alcohol exposure, yet research is only beginning to examine the effectiveness of choline supplementation in a clinical population;thus, the proposed study intends to translate preclinical research of a potential therapeutic in children with FASD.

Researchers in the United States have successfully transplanted immature cells with the potential of creating sperm from the testes of rats into mice. The result was that the mice went on to produce fully formed rat sperm.
The achievement has enormous implications. Rats and mice are distinctly different species, having diverged on the evolutionary path 11 million years ago.
What the scientists have demonstrated is that it is possible for one species to develop the sperm of another. If it were possible to extend the principle to humans, it could provide an extraordinary alternative to sperm banking - animals "fathering" human sperm.
The technique also opens the door to a completely new method of immortalising individuals, allowing a parent's personal characteristics to be conserved for many years, perhaps indefinitely.
The breakthrough was announced in the science journal Nature last night and will be featured tomorrow night on BBC1's Tomorrow's World programme.
Last night a spokeswoman for the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority, the body which regulates fertility research, admitted that there was nothing in British law expressly forbidding the production of human sperm in animals if this should ever be feasible.
The test-tube baby pioneer Dr Ralph Brinster led the research at Pennsylvania University, Philadelphia, in the United States. He and his team took sperm stem cells - immature cells which are the precursors of sperm - from the testes of rats and transplanted them into the testes of 10 mice.
The process of rat sperm production was observed taking place in all the mice. A closer look at eight of the mice showed that those which had harboured the transplants for more than 110 days contained sperm with a shape characteristic of rats.
Speaking on Tomorrow's World, Dr Brinster says: "The rat-to-mouse suggests that you can go across species barriers - which species it's difficult to say. In terms of going from human to mouse it may be much more difficult than going from human to pig, and only doing the experiment will tell you. It's very unlikely I think that one could not freeze the sperm stem cells of all mammalian species. I would be surprised if the human stem cell could not be frozen and perhaps kept for many years, perhaps indefinitely."
In theory, the use of stem cells could mark a revolution in fertility treatment. The technique also raises other possibilities such as infertile fathers using their sons' stem cells to father their own grandchildren, or babies being born hundreds of years after their fathers' death.
Dr Brinster explained that freezing stem cells is totally different from freezing sperm. "When you freeze a stem cell and you can show it will grow in another animal, you have saved that individual, you have immortalised that individual. It's a totally new concept in biology," he said.
There are also implications for genetic engineering. If it became possible to produce laboratory cultures of stem cells, modification of their genetic structure should be feasible.
