The Jezco Waste Collection Truck provides a completely new method of picking up garbage on the residential and commercial garbage route. Instead of the garbage going into a vehicle that has to be dumped at an intermediate location then reloaded, the garbage goes into a leak proof container which is not dumped till the garbage reaches it final destination. The Jezco Waste Collection Truck is a medium duty 2 axle truck that holds the patented Jezco Container. This truck is a lighter duty vehicle than the standard garbage truck which is typically a 3 axle unit and much heavier. As a result the Jezco Waste Collection Truck is a less expensive unit. The Jezco Container is 100 percent leak proof and will not spill garbage juices onto the roadways and will eliminate the transmission of rodents. The Jezco Container has the ability to access back haul trucking which will reduce the fuel consumption used in hauling garbage and reduce the number of trucks on the road for garbage hauling.

The chemical mixture of the bridging agent used in the tie sheet can also be used without any sheet and can be instead deposited directly between two incompatible layers of a laminate.

Assay methods for identifying an increased risk of preterm delivery induced by premature rupture of the fetal membranes are provided. More specifically, the invention provides salivary protease assays indicative of amniochorion and fetal membrane concentrations of proteases involved in the degradation of the fetal membranes leading to rupture. An increase in salivary protease levels beyond normal or individual baseline provides an indication that protease levels in fetal membranes and/or the amniotic fluid are abnormally elevated. Abnormally elevated protease levels define an increased risk of a premature delivery caused by rupture of the fetal membranes. Thus, abnormally high levels of salivary protease levels indicates elevated risk of PROM, and provides an indication for therapeutic intervention to prevent PROM-induced preterm labor.
