Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for processing ultramafic material. The system may comprise a reactor for accelerating weathering of said ultramafic material. The reactor may comprise one or more chambers comprising one or more microbes, biological medicators, or enzymatic accelerants to facilitate the weathering of the ultramafic material.

Abstract: A system is configured to identify efficacious ingredients for functional blends by determining a rank of at least one functional ingredient using several pathway-based groups of functional ingredients. A rank of at least one functional ingredient is based on predicted activity of active compounds present in the at least one functional ingredient.

Abstract: An article of footwear comprises a sole extending along a longitudinal axis between a heel portion and a toe portion. The sole extends along a width axis between inner and outer edges. The width axis is transverse to the longitudinal axis. A maximum width of the sole is defined along the width axis. The sole extends along a height axis between a top surface and a bottom surface. The height axis is transverse to the longitudinal axis and to the width axis. A maximum height of the sole is defined along the height axis. The bottom surface is at least partially convex. A convex portion of the bottom surface is defined by a radius having a center positioned lower than the width axis along the height axis. The sole can be engaged with a boot. The sole can be part of a kit including a boot and a skate blade assembly.
