Abstract: An oral care composition comprising a surfactant having formula [R(OC2H4)xOSO3]2M wherein R is a saturated or unsaturated alkyl group with an alkyl chain length of 8 to 30 carbon atoms; x is from 0 to 10; and M is a divalent metal cation selected from zinc cations, copper cations and stannous cations is provided.

Abstract: Antimicrobial compositions and methods for depositing or coating the antimicrobial or antibacterial compositions on a substrate to prevent microbial adhesion are provided. The antimicrobial composition may include a cationic polymer having a poly-allylamine backbone. A portion of the poly-allylamine backbone may be functionalized with at least one of a guanidine functional group and a biguanide functional group.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are high water oral care compositions comprising a stannous ion source, which compositions have improved stability. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided.

Abstract: An interface between an engine block and a cylinder head is provided. The interface includes a ferrule that accommodates relative movement between the cylinder head and the engine block while maintaining sealing of fluid passages that extend between the cylinder head and the engine block. The interface thus forms a fluid passage seal assembly.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to predicting phenotypes. In aspects, a probabilistic predictor is used to summarize a relationship between a set of biological predictors and a phenotype. The probabilistic predictor may use a function that is selected based on the type of the phenotype (e.g., binary, multi-state, or continuous). The probabilistic predictor may use genetic and/or epigenetic information. The probabilistic predictor may be trained on a portion of the data in conjunction with predicting phenotypes in another portion of the data. The probabilistic predictor may be used for various analyses including genome-wide association analysis and gene-set enrichment analysis.
