Abstract: In some embodiments, a method of manufacturing includes forming and attaching a first embellishment part onto a substrate composing a clothing article by sintering a thermoplastic powder on the substrate. Sintering may occur at a temperature below a temperature threshold, and sintering may further occur at a pressure below a pressure threshold. The first embellishment part may include all structural components of an entire embellishment. The first embellishment part may be a foundation for a complete embellishment. The method may also include forming a second embellishment part using an additive manufacturing process.

Abstract: A computer extracts from contact records that each include a contact identifier, a group identifier for each group with which the contact has had an interaction, and interaction information that indicates a number of interactions and a timing of a most recent interaction. The contact data records are processed to generate a contact profile record for each contact including group metric values and a corresponding value for each group metric value based on an interaction history of groups the contact has interacted with. An interaction analytics databases stores a set of contact profile records and group profile records for groups that include metric values associated with the group and an interaction history. They are processed with at least thousands of the contact profile records to determine group-contact compatibility factors. A compatibility parameter is generated and communicated for each of at least thousands of contacts based on the group-contact compatibility parameters.

Abstract: Provided herein include methods and compositions for effecting a targeted genetic change in DNA in a cell. Certain aspects and embodiments relate to improving the efficiency of the targeting of modifications to specific locations in genomic or other nucleotide sequences. As described herein, nucleic acids which direct specific changes to the genome may be combined with various approaches to enhance the availability of components of the natural repair systems present in the cells being targeted for modification.

Abstract: Provided herein include methods and compositions for making targeted changes to a DNA sequence. In various aspects and embodiments, methods and compositions for modifying a DNA sequence in a cell (such as a plant, bacterial, yeast, fungal, algal, or mammalian cell) are provided. In some aspects and embodiments the modification of DNA involves combining gene repair oligonucleotides with approaches that enhance the availability of components of the target cell gene repair mechanisms, such as a DNA cutter.

Abstract: The invention provides to improved methods for the modification of genes in plant cells, and plants and seeds derived therefrom. More specifically, the invention relates to the increased efficiency of targeted gene mutation by combining gene repair oligonucleotides with approaches that enhance the availability of components of the target cell gene repair mechanisms.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are biocontrol compositions against plant fungal pathogens and methods of use thereof for the prevention or reduction of crop loss or food spoilage. The biocontrol composition can comprise at least one microbe with anti-fungal activity or a secondary metabolite of the at least one microbe. The methods can comprise application of the biocontrol composition to a plant, a seed, or a produce thereof or to a packaging material used to transport or store the produce.
