Taxane antineoplastic agents which have heretofore exhibited poor or non-existent oral bioavailability are administered orally to human patients suffering from taxane-responsive disease conditions and made sufficiently bioavailable to achieve therapeutic blood levels. The object is achieved by introducing a gas for the exposure to the air into the film forming system after hindering a surface of a film forming electrode from coming into contact with the air inside the film forming system. A securing mechanism attaches the back panel to the planar surface of the pedestal. A surface of the first inter-layer insulator is planarized. Methods are also provided for converting a mixture of oxygenates with an effective hydrogen index greater than about 1 with a pyrolysis oil co-feed.
