Abstract: A computing system for determining a systematic training strategy for the user is provided. The computing system includes a user device that uses one or more sensors to obtain partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) levels of a user over a period of time. The user device provides previous PO2 levels to a personalized erythropoiesis model generation computing platform. The computing platform obtains individualized user data for the user indicating or more previous hematocrit and/or hemoglobin measurements for the user. The computing platform determines an individualized erythropoiesis model for the user based on the one or more previous hematocrit and/or hemoglobin measurements and the previous PO2 information, and employs the individualized erythropoiesis model to determine predicted hematocrit and/or hemoglobin measurements. The computing platform performs one or more actions based on the one or more predicted hematocrit and/or hemoglobin measurements.

Abstract: An optical solar enhancer comprises a panel that has a top surface and a bottom surface and an imaginary central plane that extends between the top surface and the bottom surface. The panel includes a plurality of generally parallel features configured to variably increase radiant energy entering the top surface at an acute angle relative to the central plane such that the effect is strongest at lower angles (early morning and late day sun) and weakest at higher angles (mid-day sun) and then redirect the increased radiant energy through the bottom surface.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for hydroxylating vegetable oils to create polyols suitable for use in polymer processes, particularly polyurethane processes. The process includes contacting a vegetable oil with hydrogen peroxide and an organic acid having 1-3 carbon atoms under conditions sufficient to oxidize carbon to carbon double bonds found in the vegetable oil. There is also disclosed a vegetable oil based polyol having an acid number of 2.0 mg KOH/g or less. The polyol contains 0.1% w/w or less water, 0.1% w/w or less of the organic acid used to prepare the polyol, and triglyceride groups having fatty acid moieties ranging from C16 to C18. The fatty acid moieties contain pendant carboxylate groups having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms.

Abstract: Simple, economical preparative processes for the provision of pure hydroxyl functional materials that are derived by converting the alkene groups of the unsaturated molecules found in vegetable oils, into hydroxyl groups.
