Abstract: A washing machine appliance includes a wash basket that is rotatably mounted within a wash tub. A water supply is provided for selectively adding wash fluid to the wash tub, a motor assembly is mechanically coupled to the wash basket for selectively rotating the wash basket, and a turbidity sensor is positioned within the wash fluid. A controller is configured to operate the water supply to dispense a target volume of the wash fluid, perform an additive mixing cycle to agitate wash additive within the target volume of the wash fluid, obtain a first turbidity measurement, perform an agitation cycle with the target volume of the wash fluid, obtain a second turbidity measurement, and complete a wash cycle at the a wash cycle intensity determined a based at least in part on the first turbidity and the second turbidity.

Abstract: The disclosure describes methods for the purification of protein-enriched extracts to provide concentrates and isolates and methods for incorporation of such materials into products. The purification methods are adapted for removal of one or more of ash, metal salts, alkaloids, particulates, heavy metals, and other impurities and/or contaminants from extracts, as well as modifying the sensory characteristics (e.g., odor, color, and/or taste characteristics) of extracts. The methods generally include diafiltration, treatment with functionalized resins, and supercritical extraction. A protein composition in the form of a concentrate or isolate is provided, the protein composition including RuBisCO, F2 fraction proteins, or combination thereof extracted from a plant of the Nicotiana species, wherein the protein composition is characterized by one or more of: an ash content of less than about 15% by weight; a nicotine content of less than about 10 ?g/g, and a heavy metal content of less than about 60 ?g/g.

Abstract: A system includes one or more processors and software, executable by the one or more processors that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to retrieve Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) related data from one or more first databases, retrieve financial-related data from one or more second databases, and generate a dynamically interactive graphical user interface (GUI), containing a combination of ESG and financial information, the GUI having multiple GUI Modules including a Screening GUI Module, a Ratings GUI Module, a Climate GUI Module, and a Sustainability GUI Module.

Abstract: The disclosure describes methods for the purification of protein-enriched extracts to provide concentrates and isolates and methods for incorporation of such materials into products. The purification methods are adapted for removal of nicotine and may have other benefits, e.g., lightening the color of the protein-enriched extracts. The methods generally include treatment with peracetic acid or hydrogen peroxide and filtrations. A protein composition in the form of a concentrate or isolate is provided, the protein composition including RuBisCO, F2 fraction proteins, or combination thereof extracted from a plant of the Nicotiana species, wherein the protein composition is characterized by relatively low nicotine content.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a composite substrate configured for use in aerosol generating components for aerosol delivery devices. The composite substrate includes a first substrate material and a second substrate material attached thereto. The first substrate material includes a first filler, a first binder, and a first aerosol forming material, and the second substrate material includes a second filler and a second binder. Further provided are a process for making the composite substrate, and aerosol generating components and aerosol delivery devices including the composite substrate. Such devices utilize electrically generated heat or combustible ignition sources to heat the composite substrate, providing an inhalable substance in the form of an aerosol.
