Abstract: A foam control composition includes a component (A) and a component (B). Component (A) includes units of the formula (R1O)a(R2O)b(R3O)cR4dR5eR6fSiO[SiR7R8O]x[SiR9(OR10)O]ySi(R1O)a(R2O)b(R3O)cR4dR5eR6f. Component (B) comprises a filler.

Abstract: A method for producing a functionalized polymer, the method comprising the steps of: (i) preparing a bulk polymerization system including a reactive polymer by introducing a lanthanide-based catalyst and a conjugated diene monomer; (ii) adding a heterocyclic nitrile compound the polymerization system including the reactive polymer to prepare polymerization system including a functionalized polymer; and (iii) adding a protic compound to the polymerization system including a functionalized polymer where the ratio of water or protic hydrogen atoms in the protic compound to the lanthanide atoms in the lanthanide-based catalyst is at least 1500 to 1.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for associating multiple data sources into a web-accessible framework. Health data is received from multiple data sources and is used to populate a framework comprising at least one topic focused data mart. Each topic focused data mart has a common structure and is associated with a web service providing standard features supported by each topic focused data mart and custom features specific to a topic associated with each topic focused data mart. In various embodiments, demographic information is received from a clinician and is utilized to present context-specific data derived from the topic focused data mart.

Abstract: A device for introducing a static magnetic null field is disclosed. The device is comprised of a holder for magnets, wherein the magnets are arranged so that the null field is generated in the area of a sample of cells, tissue or other cellular material. The device is configured to maintain the magnetic null field for long periods of time. The device can function with bar magnets or certain electromagnets.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for processing reports of biological events in order to filter the reports and output the reports to appropriate institutions and individuals for reporting. The system includes a primary filter for receiving a record, evaluating an event contained within the record, identifying any potential receiving organization based on the event evaluation, and creating a record for each potential receiving organization. The system may also include additional filters such as secondary filters, location filters, and column level filters for limiting the records created by the primary filter based on definitions provided by the receiving institutions.
