Abstract: Compositions and methods for the treatment and amelioration of arterial stiffness, hypertension, and/or arterial aging in a subject. In embodiments, the active agents of the compositions provide anti-aging treatments by causing arterial remodeling by decreasing collagen production and increasing elastin production in a subject. In certain embodiments, the active agents can be used to treat a subject having diabetes or a diabetes-related disease or condition, such as but not limited to, Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and hyperinsulenima (pre-diabetes). In certain embodiments, the active agents can be used to treat subjects having hypertension, aortic disease, cardiovascular disease, including heart failure (such as congestive heart failure), kidney disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, infertility, and emphysema.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for content quasi-personalization or anonymized content retrieval via aggregated browsing history of a large plurality of devices, such as millions or billions of devices. A sparse matrix may be constructed from the aggregated browsing history, and dimensionally reduced, reducing entropy and providing anonymity for individual devices. Relevant content may be selected via quasi-personalized clusters representing similar browsing histories, without exposing individual device details to content providers.

Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to the use of a volcanic rock mined from an unwelded ash flow tuff to remove toxic metals from contaminated aqueous solutions. The material absorptive properties can also be enhanced using a combination of zero valent iron, oxidized iron derivatives and activated carbon to create a binding system.
