Abstract: A system includes a data storage system, and a processor and program logic. The program logic includes a management console, including interface logic configured to provide a user interface. The interface logic is also configured to receive a request to record a demo of a Web application via the user interface. The program logic also includes a recording utility. The recording utility includes recording logic configured to, upon receiving the request to record, capture a first instance of underlying client-side code and assets utilized to render the Web application. The program logic further includes data consolidation and storage logic configured to save the first instance to a database. Further yet, the program logic includes demo editing logic configured to create a demo of the Web application based on the first instance.

Abstract: Feeds in a network-based marketplace are described. The system receives a request, over a network, from a user that is associated with feed selection information, and identifies source feeds based on the feed selection information. The source feeds respectively include a first plurality of content elements. The system generates a presentation feed by retrieving a second plurality of content elements from the source feeds. The generating is performed continuously and in real-time. The system segments the presentation feed into pages and generates interfaces that include a first interface based on the pages. The system communicates the first interface, over the network, to the user, responsive to the receiving of the request.

Abstract: The present invention relates to liquid-crystal (LC) media as defined in claim 1, to the use thereof for optical, electro-optical and electronic purposes, in particular in LC displays, and to LC displays containing said LC media. The invention in particular relates to LC media with improved response time that enable energy saving displays.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides herbicide composition for control of annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds. In one example, a non-selective herbicide composition comprises: a post-emergent herbicidal active agent; and a burndown agent. In another example, a non-selective herbicide composition comprises: a post-emergent herbicidal active agent; a residual control active agent, and a burndown agent.

Abstract: Neutral avatars are neutral with reference physical characteristics of the corresponding user, such as weight, ethnicity, gender, or even identity. Thus, neutral avatars may be desirable to use in various copresence environments where the user desires to maintain privacy with reference to the above-noted characteristics. Neutral avatars may be configured to convey, in real-time, actions and behaviors of the corresponding user without using literal forms of the user’s actions and behaviors.

Abstract: The invention relates to a powder/granular material for producing a shower gel or shampoo, which contains a salt of a mono-C8-18-alkyl sulfate, in particular a salt of coco sulfate or lauryl sulfate, and an ammonium salt. The invention furthermore also relates to the use of the powder/granular material according to the invention for producing a shower gel or shampoo. The invention moreover relates to a shower gel/shampoo, which contains a salt of a mono-C8-18-alkyl sulfate, in particular a salt of coco sulfate or lauryl sulfate, an ammonium salt and water, characterized in that a further cosurfactant is present at most in a quantity by weight of less than half the quantity by weight of the salt of a mono-C8-18-alkyl sulfate.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to sol-gel polymer composites that comprise chitosan, a hydrophilic polymer, a polysiloxane, and a gelation agent in a suitable medium. Advantageously, the sol-gel polymer composite can form a durable seal or strong solid in response to one or more physiological stimulus. The disclosure further relates to medical and veterinary uses of the composite, particularly, methods and delivery systems for reducing or preventing the incidence of a mammary disorder in a dairy animal. More particularly, the disclosure includes methods and sol-gel polymer composite compositions for creating a physical barrier on the teat surface or in the teat canal or cistern of a non-human animal for prophylactic treatment of mammary disorders such as mastitis wherein the sol-gel polymer creates a seal in response to one or more physiological stimulus.

Abstract: Described herein are modified cells and compositions thereof, wherein the cells can have reduced or eliminated Tollip gene and/or protein expression. In some embodiments, the modified cells can be neutrophils. Also described herein are methods of making and using the modified cells and compositions thereof. In some embodiments, the modified cells having reduced or eliminated Tollip gene and/or protein expression can be administered to a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: A transit fare approach that offers a transit agency the ability to cap how many transit passes of a particular type in a given fare cycle would be equivalent of buying a discounted transit product (like a weekly pass, a bi-weekly pass, or a monthly pass). Once this equivalent is reached by a rider, the system automatically gives the rider the corresponding discount pass for free. The free pass remains activated and good for the remainder of the fare cycle. A software module provides a user app for the rider's mobile device and a controller app for a control unit of the transit agency, both of which operate in conjunction with each other to monitor the use of transit passes by the rider to determine when the rider qualifies for the fare cap-based free transit product and subsequently reward the rider with the free use of the appropriate transit product.
