Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of feeding animals by providing feed additives that modulate the gut microbiome improve the health and welfare of the animal. The present disclosure further relates to methods of modulating level of secondary metabolites present in the gastrointestinal tract of an animal. Such modulation includes, for example, modulating the level of tryptophan metabolism derivates.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of modulating level of pathogenic E. coli (EHEC, EPEC, APEC) present in the gastrointestinal tract of an animal by administering saccharide compositions comprising an anhydro moiety. The presence/load with pathogenic E. coli strains can be assessed via the level of LEE and non-LEE pathogenic genes in the microbiome of the host animal.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of modulating level of E. coli present in the gastrointestinal tract of an animal. Such modulation includes, for example, modulating the level of LEE and non-LEE pathogenic genes in the microbiome of the host animal. The present disclosure further relates to methods of modulating the virulence of pathogenic E. coli in the gastrointestinal tract of an animal by reducing the population of B. thetaiotaomicron in the gut microbiome of the animal.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of feeding animals by providing feed additives that modulate the gut micro-biome improve the health and welfare of the animal. The present disclosure further relates to methods of modulating level of secondary metabolites present in the gastrointestinal tract of an animal. Such modulation includes, for example, modulating the level of tryptophan metabolism derivates.

Abstract: A system has a first non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a first program and a second non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a second program, the first program and second program including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, execute a method of verifying a secure message tunnel during a communication session. The method includes: selecting a pseudo random byte string; breaking the pseudo random byte string into binary format; following the breaking the pseudo random byte string into binary format, transmitting a message between the first non-transitory computer-readable medium and the second non-transitory medium; following the transmitting the message, shifting a binary array associated with the pseudo random byte string and assigning a unique shift value to the message; determining the unique shift value has been reused; and responsive to the determining the unique shift value has been reused, breaking the session.

Abstract: A modular outdoor kitchen assembly that includes panels that can be assembled without the use of tools or fasteners. The kitchen assembly may include a front panel and back panel that are attached by side panels that span between the front panel and the back panel. A countertop may be coupled to the top edges of the panels. Cutouts may be formed through the countertop and the one or more of the modular panels to create space for the installation of a grill or other appliances within the outdoor kitchen assembly. Vent openings may be defined through the modular panels to allow expulsion of gases and cooling within the interior space of the kitchen assembly.

Abstract: A method of securely replacing a first data value with a second data value and related systems are disclosed. The method includes generating a first public key and a first private key, generating a cryptographic seed value, and passing the cryptographic seed value through an elliptic curve to generate a second public key and a second private key. The method further includes combining the first public key with the second private key using public key cryptography to create a shared encryption key and passing the shared encryption key through a symmetric algorithm to encrypt the cryptographic seed value.

Abstract: A method includes entropy hashing a hardened key; generating an asymmetric key pair from the hardened key; generating a keyspace chaincode from the hardened asymmetric key pair and the hardened key; and generating a verification key pair from the hardened asymmetric key pair. Related systems and methods are disclosed herein.

Abstract: A consumer portal enables consumers to review data collected about those consumers in a privacy-protected manner, through authentication using personally identifiable information (PII) and a linking service supported by a marketing database. Once consumers review this data, they may then edit this data or determine whether they wish it to be used for marketing purposes. They are also presented with various opt-out facilities. The consumer portal is accessible by computers, tablets, smartphones, and other computing devices with Internet-access capabilities.

Abstract: A container cap comprises a first layer that includes a material that changes color or opacity in response to a chemical reaction at the first layer between a gas emitted by a source of perishable food item in the container and the material of the first layer; a second layer on top of the first layer that includes a viewing window that displays the color or opacity of the material of the first layer; and an identifying marker revealed via the second layer in response to the first layer changing color or opacity indicative of the perishable food item being spoiled.
