Abstract: Facility layouts and configurations for an automated crop production system for controlled environment agriculture. In particular implementations, the core of the facility comprises a controlled growth environment and a central processing system. The controlled growth environment includes systems for exposing crops housed in modules, such as grow towers, to controlled environmental conditions. The central processing system may include various stations and functionality both for preparing crop-bearing modules to be inserted in the controlled growth environment, for harvesting crops from the crop-bearing modules after they have been extracted from the controlled growth environment, and for cleaning or washing crop-bearing modules for re-use. The controlled growth environment may include vertical farming structure having vertical grow towers and associated conveyance mechanisms for moving the vertical grow towers along one or more grow lines.

Abstract: A moisturizing liquid liner composition comprising a hydrophobic moiety and an emulsifier is described. Further, a substrate comprising a barrier layer and a moisturizing liquid liner composition comprising a hydrophobic moiety and an emulsifier is described. The substrate may be incorporated into an article.

Abstract: The invention relates to crosslinked organopolysiloxanes which are linked by a polyether building block via the Si atoms, to emulsifier systems which have these crosslinked organopolysiloxanes, and also to cosmetic, dermatological or pharmaceutical formulations comprising a crosslinked organopolysiloxane or an emulsifier system comprising these.

Abstract: Emulsions comprising cationic emulsifiers and optionally coemulsifiers, optionally customary auxiliaries and additives, wherein the cationic emulsifiers used are at least one compound of the general formula (I) in which R1, R2, independently of the other, is at least one radical chosen from the group H, and/or an optionally branched, optionally multiple bond-containing hydrocarbon radical, a hydroxyalkyl, alkoxy, carboxyalkyl radical, an aminoalkyl, alkylaminoalkyl, amidoalkyl, alkylamidoalkyl radical, a homo- or heterocyclic, optionally substituted aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 60 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 30 carbon atoms, in particular 12 to 18 carbon atoms, with the proviso that the sum of the carbon atoms from R1+R2 is at least 12 and X? is a salt-forming anion or the hydroxyl anion are provided.
