Abstract: Provided herein are compounds of general Formula I: or agriculturally acceptable salts thereof. The compounds of Formula I can be used to improve the health of plants. For example, the compounds of Formula I can be used to inhibit a microbial pathogen of a plant, or to increase resistance of a plant to one or more abiotic stress. Methods of manufacturing the compounds of general Formula I, as well as synthetic intermediates are also provided.

Abstract: A system for commercial blasting operations includes at least one commercial blasting system element in the form of a translocation monitoring unit (TMU), configured to reside in a borehole, which is configured to be couplable to, coupled to or incorporated in a wireless initiation device that is configured for commercial blasting. The TMU includes: an inertial measurement unit (IMU) configured to measure spatial displacement of the IMU based on one or more movement sensors of (internal to) the IMU; and/or an externally-generated localization signal reception unit configured wirelessly receive one or more types of externally-generated localization signals transmitted by one or more localization signal sources disposed external to the TMU and external to the wireless initiation device.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of degrading a cMET protein on a target cell. The present disclosure further discloses binding agents that bind to a cMET protein and a degrading protein.

Abstract: A system for detecting a magnet is disclosed. The system includes an array of magnetometers; one or more inter-integrated circuit (I2C) multiplexers electrically connected to the array of magnetometers; and one or more wireless transceivers electrically connected to the one or more I2C multiplexers, wherein the array of magnetometers detects a change in electrical resistance caused by a nearby magnetic object by measuring a strength of a magnetic field in three dimensions. Then taking the data from the heatmap and overlaying the data on an x-ray to provide results for the clinician.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of degrading an EGFR protein on a target cell. The present disclosure further discloses bispecific binding agents that bind to an EGFR protein and a membrane-associated internalizing protein.

Abstract: A soil moisture sensor includes a power source, a parallel plate capacitance sensing element, and an electronics unit. The parallel plate capacitance sensing element is powered by the power source and is adapted for ground insertion to generate and transmit capacitance data. The electronics unit is powered by the power source to: receive the capacitance data transmitted from the parallel plate capacitance sensing element; process the received capacitance data; and communicate the processed capacitance data off sensor.

Abstract: An antibiofilm composition is provided. The antibiofilm composition includes a polycarboxylic acid derivative or a salt thereof, onto which a hydrophobic group, a poly(ethylene oxide) group and/or a poly(propylene oxide) group is covalently bound, an essential oil, and a biosurfactant.

Abstract: A composition for application to a plant is provided. The composition includes a photosensitizer that generates reactive oxygen species in the presence of light and oxygen, the photosensitizer being selected from the group consisting of a porphyrin, a reduced porphyrin and a combination thereof; a film-forming agent, the film-forming agent forming a film that is substantially impermeable to oxygen when in a non-hydrated state; an antioxidant agent; and an aqueous carrier in which the photosensitizer, the film-forming agent and the antioxidant agent are solubilized and/or dispersed. The composition is used for improving the health of a plant.
