Abstract: Provided are therapeutic compositions containing microbial populations for prevention, treatment and reduction of symptoms associated with a dysbiosis of a mammalian subject such as a human.

Abstract: Synergistic mixtures of a zeolite and an imide provide superior relief from objectionable odors. The compostions are especially effective to remove the odor of animal wastes or fluids. The mixture may be sprinkled on dogs, dog bedding, horse stalls, animal vomit, urine deposits, fish remains, fish juices and the like. The zeolite/imide mixture will also remove odors from carpets, clothes, hands or other body parts, cloth and plastic items.

Abstract: A dry zeolite containing composition is used in a method for removing grease and/or oil stains from the human body is disclosed. In accordance with the method, zeolites having an average particle size of about 0.5 mm or less provide superior performance to remove grease and oil stains from the skin. Stain removing activities of the zeolite compositions may be enhanced by the addition of an imide.

Abstract: An improved method for the removal of stains from textiles is disclosed. The method involves the use of novel mixtures of zeolites and imides. The method of the invention provides superior performance in the removal of stains, especially those from animal wastes or fluids. The zeolite/imide mixtures are useful to remove stains from various textile fabrics and fibers, e.g. carpets, clothing, and upholstered goods.

Abstract: Zirconium compounds reduce odors. Zirconium hydroxide and sulfated zirconium are especially efficient at reducing the odors of primary, secondary and tertiary amines or ammonia. Zirconium hydroxide and/or sulfated zirconium may be incorporated in pads which are the recipients of odoriferous waste materials, dispersed in holding tanks or lagoons or dispersed over human and animal wastes.

Abstract: A trench box panel with an especially lightweight foamed filler located between the inner and outer panel surfaces in a trench box panel and between structural, vertical and horizontal elements in prevention of the intrusion of water, mud and grime. The impermeable panels thus produced are more convenient to use, require less inspection in production against leakage and do not become so heavy as to be almost impossible to move and maneuver during usage. The procedures of filling the panels with lightweight unfilled foam is by use of blocks, foaming in situ, and fill foaming.

Abstract: A front plate for trench boxes located at one end of a rectangular trench box and attached between a pair of spaced apart adjacent trench box walls. The front plate has a chisel edge smooth skin bottom with means to achieve attachment of the front plate to adjacent trench box walls. Vertical and horizontal structural members are structurally interrelated and attach to the bottom and the bottom extends beneath the lowermost horizontal structural element and includes the bottom closure plate closing on a plurality of spaced apart gusset plates extending in vertical planes below the lowermost horizontal structural member.
