Abstract: Provided is a method including providing a first audio content object that includes a plurality of audio content segments to a set of user computing devices. Each audio content segment of the plurality of audio content segments is associated with a first version. The method also includes obtaining a second version of a first audio content segment and updating the first version of the first audio content segment to the second version to generate a second audio content object that includes the second version of the first audio content segment and at least a first version of a second audio content segment. The method also includes providing the second audio content object to at least a first portion of the set of user computing devices and indicating a version history of the first audio content segment to at least the first portion of the set of user computing devices.

Abstract: Provided are mechanisms that allow automatic media content layering. The systems and methods obtain a media content list that includes a plurality of different types of media content segment entries. Media content tracks are determined from the plurality of media content segment entries and are based on the type of those entries. Media content track features are determined from the media content segment entries where those features are used to adjust the media content tracks, layering of multiple media content tracks, adjusting media content segments that make up the media content tracks or other features. A media content layered object is then generated based on the media content track features and the media content tracks. An action, such as storage, may be performed on the generated media content layered object.

Abstract: Provided are mechanisms that allow automatic media content layering. The systems and methods obtain a media content list that includes a plurality of different types of media content segment entries. Media content tracks are determined from the plurality of media content segment entries and are based on the type of those entries. Media content track features are determined from the media content segment entries where those features are used to adjust the media content tracks, layering of multiple media content tracks, adjusting media content segments that make up the media content tracks or other features. A media content layered object is then generated based on the media content track features and the media content tracks. An action, such as storage, may be performed on the generated media content layered object.

Abstract: The present invention provides alternate means in form of a medicinal composition comprising botanical extracts comprised of an organic liquid extract derived from Laminaria japonica and an organic liquid extract derived from Andrographis paniculate along with other components as disclosed herein for the prevention of viral binding, uptake, replication, infection, and disease caused by viral pathogens. Combined the aforementioned organic botanical extracts produce strong additivity and synergistic effect against the viral pathogens contributing towards significant reduction in viral binding, uptake, replication, infection, and disease. Also disclosed are the methods to formulate the aforementioned medicinal composition and dosage forms for use in a method for prophylactic treatment and prevention of viral binding, uptake, replication, infection, and disease caused by viral pathogens in an individual, which is also disclosed herein.
