Abstract: The present disclosure relates, in part, to enhanced weathering systems and/or apparatuses and methods of use thereof. In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a method of at least partially sequestering CO2 from an influent aqueous solution comprising aqueous and/or gaseous CO2. In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a method of at least partially sequestering CO2 from a gaseous CO2 source. In another aspect, the present disclosure provides systems and/or apparatuses suitable for use in the methods described herein. In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a method of optimizing the design and operation of a system for at least partial sequestration of CO2 from a water source.

Abstract: Organs-on-chips are microfluidic devices for culturing living cells in micrometer sized chambers in order to model physiological functions of tissues and organs. Engineered patterning and continuous fluid flow in these devices has allowed culturing of intestinal cells bearing physiologically relevant features and sustained exposure to bacteria while maintaining cellular viability, thereby allowing study of inflammatory bowl diseases. However, existing intestinal cells do not possess all physiologically relevant subtypes, do not possess the repertoire of genetic variations, or allow for study of other important cellular actors such as immune cells. Use of iPSC-derived epithelium, including IBD patient-specific cells, allows for superior disease modeling by capturing the multi-faceted nature of the disease.

Abstract: A method may include determining that a non-constant value of a variable corresponding to a variable node of the abstract syntax tree flows into an operator node in the abstract syntax tree. The method may further include adding, to the abstract syntax tree, a check taint node including functionality to: make a taint status determination that the non-constant value is tainted, and return the non-constant value to the operator node. The operator node generates a result value by executing an operator using the non-constant value. The method may further include adding, to the abstract syntax tree, a set taint node that stores, based on the taint status determination, the result value in a second tainted object, and performing, using the abstract syntax tree, a taint analysis of the source code to identify a vulnerability in the source code.

Abstract: For this invention, I thank GOD, the Creator of the Universe, for inspiring Me to complete this task. This invention relates to container tops or closures. It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved container top that provides room for the upward extension there within of the upper end of a drinking straw. It is another object of the present invention to provide a container top with room for a drinking straw of the above type, that utilizes fastening threads adapted to be used with any type of beverage containers (e.g., bottles, cartons, pouches, et cetera), that is of simple construction, inexpensive to manufacture, and efficient in use, and that is sealed onto or provided with a container wherein the container may or may not contain a drinking straw or beverage.
