Abstract: A waste bag holder pivotably coupled to an outdoor cooking station. The waste bag holder is a rod structure with multiple bends along its length to define a u-shaped portion and first and second engaging portions. The u-shaped portion is configured to support a waste bag. The first and second engaging portions are sized and configured to couple to coupling structure to facilitate the waste bag holder to be pivotably moveable between a use position and a stowed position.

Abstract: An article or vessel is described including a vessel surface and a coating set comprising at least one tie coating, at least one barrier coating, and at least one pH protective coating. For example, the coating set can comprise a tie coating, a barrier coating, a pH protective coating and a second barrier coating; and in the presence of a fluid composition, the fluid contacting surface is the barrier coating or layer. The respective coatings can be applied by PECVD of a polysiloxane precursor. Such vessels can have a coated interior portion containing a fluid with a pH of 4 to 8. The barrier coating prevents oxygen from penetrating into the thermoplastic vessel, and the tie coating and pH protective coating together protect the barrier layer from the contents of the vessel. The second barrier coating is comparable to glass surface if needed.

Abstract: The invention provides methods of identifying a nucleic acid molecule having a sequence capable of targeting a gene of interest, and hence nucleic acid molecules useful in gene theraphy and disease treatment. A system and method for selecting antisense DNA oligonucleotide sequences that will form the most stable DNA:RNA hybrids within a given target mRNA sequence is provided. An apparatus capable of identifying a subject nucleic acid sequence capable of targeting a gene of interest is further provided. The apparatus includes the use of a software program and a computing unit. Methods for controlling gene expression are also provided.
