Abstract: Catalysts and methods for use in conversion of glycerides and free fatty acids to biodiesel are described. A batch or continuous process may be used with the catalysts for transesterification of triglycerides with an alkyl alcohol to produce corresponding mono carboxylic acid esters and glycerol in high yields and purity. Similarly, alkyl and aryl carboxylic acids and free fatty acids are also converted to corresponding alkyl esters. Catalysts are capable of simultaneous esterification and transesterification under same process conditions. The described catalysts are thermostable, long lasting, and highly active.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a time-based leaderboard that ranks users based on a length of time each user has controlled or possessed a given digital object. The leaderboard includes customization options for purposes of user identification and identity connected to social network objects. The leaderboard further uses a staking feature where users provide their digital objects to universal wallets to hold for a predetermined period based on smart contract limitations. Staking improves leaderboard position. The leaderboard further enables expression and displayed of staked digital objects despite the user no longer having actual possession of the digital object. A digital object generator builds unique digital objects based on the user specific input. The unique digital objects are part of a graphic presentation to users.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to mutant algae resistant to salicylanilide based drug.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to user-centric security classifications of cryptographic token sets that represent a prediction of whether a token set is malicious. A user-centric security classification of a token set is generated according to user behaviors that characterize users involved with the token set, including users holding tokens of the token set and users creating tokens of the token set. A model is trained to recognize user behaviors of certain users whose involvement with the token set increase the likelihood that the token set is non-malicious and secure. Such user behaviors that the model is trained to recognize include high time-rank behaviors, or holding onto cryptographic tokens for extended lengths of time. Upon generation of a user-centric security classification for a token set, graphical displays of tokens or of the token set are updated to reflect the user-centric security classification.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards generating images conditioned on a desired attribute. In particular, an attribute-based image generation system can use a directional-GAN architecture to generate images conditioned on a desired attribute. A latent vector and a desired attribute are received. A feature subspace is determined for the latent vector using a latent-attribute linear classifier trained to determine a relationship between the latent vector and the desired attribute. An image is generated using the latent vector such that the image contains the desired attribute. In embodiments, where the feature space differs from a desired feature subspace, a directional vector is applied to the latent vector that shifts the latent vector from the feature subspace to the desired feature subspace. This modified latent vector is then used during generation of the image.
