Appl. No.:

8/688204

Inventors:

James E. Byrd - Humble TX

International Classification:

B65D 542

US Classification:

220 6

Abstract:

A compost container having a plurality of panels arranged in a multi-sided geometric configuration. The plurality of panels defines an interior volume for receipt of compost material. At least one of the plurality of panels is openable for accessing the interior volume. A first side member is affixed to one end of the plurality of panels. A second side member is affixed to an opposite end of the plurality of panels. The first and second side members enclose the interior volume. Openings are formed on the plurality of panels and the first and second side members so as to have a total area of at least 5% of a total surface area of the plurality of panels and the first and second side members. The plurality of panels are arranged in an octagonal configuration.

International Classification:

G01N 33/574
G01N 33/541

Abstract:

Methods for detecting colorectal cancer or precancerous conditions such as adenomatous polyps in a subject by detection of a galactose-containing 40-kDa molecule in a serum sample from the subject are provided. Methods for quantifying the amount of a galactose-containing molecule in a serum sample are also provided. The methods can further comprise assaying the sample for the quantity of at least one additional marker to confirm the detection or diagnosis of colorectal cancer using one or more additional quantitative immune-detection assays; the additional marker can be at least one of galectin-3, a peptide derived from galectin-3, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and CYFRA21-1.
