Abstract: The present disclosure encompasses compositions and methods for effectively treating at least one symptom or sign of Aß plaque or cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) associated symptoms, or for decreasing amyloid plaque load or CAA load. The method comprises administering an effective amount of an anti-ApoE antibody to a mammalian subject, such as to a human.

Abstract: Technologies for data capture and data analysis include a system having a knowledge repository in which all input data is stored as objects and relationships between objects, and each object represents at least one container of one or more properties. The knowledge repository is capable of storing the input data according to more than one storage format. The system may also include a user interface providing an input mechanism to obtain the input data, object information that defines one or more of the properties, and relationship information that defines one or more of the relationships. The system includes a controller configured to receive the input data, the object information, and the relationship information from the user interface and to cause the input data to be stored in the knowledge repository as at least one object based on the object information and the relationship information.

Abstract: Biguanide compounds of formula where R1 comprises a cubanyl-substituted alkyl and R2 comprises a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, and their use in the treatment of cancers and viral infections are described.

Abstract: To answer if a user is a transitive member of a group efficiently, a method to maintain each node's ancestors or descendants is disclosed. The system maintains each node's ancestor paths or descendant paths and update affected nodes when a child node is added to or removed from the parent node. The affected nodes are the child and the child's descendants in the case of ancestor paths. The affected nodes are the parent and the parent's ancestors in the case of descendant paths. The node's ancestors or descendants are the unique nodes in the ancestor paths or descendant paths. Hybrid approaches can be used to reduce change volumes by skipping users.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cartridge, a battery assembly and an electronic cigarette. The cartridge, includes: a liquid absorbing assembly, and a liquid container for supplying tobacco liquid to the liquid absorbing element, the liquid absorbing element is arranged below the liquid container, the liquid absorbing assembly is arranged in such a manner that the tobacco liquid is kept in the liquid container or the liquid absorbing element before the cartridge is assembled at an in-use state.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are presented for an e-cigarette device that atomizes the liquid through ultrasonic vibrations, thereby generating micro-droplets that can be absorbed through breathing, similar to breathing in a mist or vapor. No heating elements are involved, thereby leading to no burnt elements and reducing second-hand smoke effects.

Abstract: An atomizer for use with vaporizers and electronic cigarettes, the atomizer comprising an inhaler having a first end and a second end through both of which air flow passage partially extends; a chamber coupled to said second end of said inhaler; a heating element positioned within the chamber to be in contact with a liquid; a liquid absorber coupled to the heating element; and a receiver to receive the heating element, wherein the receiver has at least one conductive contact, and the receiver comprises a power connection connectable to a power supply.
