Abstract: A method of matching a found item record with an existing item record, wherein the found item record includes a plurality of record fields. In an example embodiment, the found item is a piece of cargo that is associated with a travel route. In an example embodiment, the method includes: receiving, by one or more processors and from a remote user device, a photo file that comprises an image of the found item; generating, based on the image and using an image to image-description application, text describing an appearance of the found item; storing the generated text describing the appearance of the found item in a first record field from the plurality of record fields; and comparing the text within the first record field with text within a first record field in the existing item record to match the found item record with the existing item record.

Abstract: In vitro cell-based methods for identifying compounds that inhibit Notch cleavage and methods for identifying ?-secretase inhibitors that exhibit reduced induction of goblet cell metaplasia are provided. Also provided are methods of identifying compounds that inhibit cleavage of ?-secretase substrates other than Notch and homogeneous compositions or cultures of Notch-expressing cells that undergo mucin-2 or mucin-5AC induction in response to a compound known to inhibit Notch cleavage and methods of their generation.

Abstract: An integrated feather ink pen enables one to enjoy all of the benefits of the historic form of writing without the disadvantages. A shaped grip provides a comfortable means of operating the pen. A feather is attached to the grip to provide balance and a reservoir for ink or a compartment for an ink cartridge. The grip, together with an ink transport mechanism, serve to bind the nib to the feather. The ink transport mechanism is an ink feeder tube or a fibrous filament. Alternatively, the nib is dipped in ink.
