Abstract: This document provides methods and materials related to managing weight, supporting appetite control, and controlling cravings associated with smoking reduction or cessation regimens and/or nicotine reduction or cessation regimens. For example, compositions comprising an agent to support acetylcholine and an agent to support one or more biogenic amines, and methods for using such compositions for craving and appetite control are provided. Methods and materials to reduce cravings associated with the reduction or cessation of the use of chemical substances (e.g., drugs of abuse, including opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine, cannabis, alcohol), and to reduce cravings associated with addictive and/or compulsive behaviors (e.g., gambling, sex, and repetitive behaviors) are also provided.

Abstract: This document provides methods and materials related to regulating inflammatory pathways. For example, compositions and kits containing two or more of an anticholinesterase compound, a choline compound, and a carnitine compound and methods for using the compositions and kits described herein to support acetylcholine function to regulate one or more inflammatory pathways are provided.

Abstract: A method of producing a clad sheet article having superplastic properties, and the resulting clad sheet article. The method involves producing a cladding layer onto at least one rolling face of a core ingot made of a metal having superplastic properties, preferably by co-casting, to form a clad ingot and then rolling said clad ingot to produce a sheet article. The core ingot includes an element that diffuses from an interior of the ingot to a surface at superplastic forming temperatures thereby deteriorating surface properties of the ingot. The cladding layer is provided with an element (dopant) that reacts with the element of the core to reduce the ability of the element to diffuse through the cladding layer.

Abstract: A process of producing solution heat treated aluminum alloy sheet material comprises subjecting hot- or cold-rolled aluminum alloy sheet to solution heat treatment followed by quenching and, before substantial age hardening has taken place, subjecting the alloy sheet material to one or more subsequent heat treatments involving heating the material to a peak temperature in the range of 100.degree. to 300.degree. C. (preferably 130.degree.-270.degree. C.), holding the material at the peak temperature for a period of time less than about 1 minute, and cooling the alloy from the peak temperature to a temperature of 85.degree. C. or less. The sheet material treated in this way can by used for automotive panels and has good a good "paint bake response", i.e. an increase in yield strength from the T4 temper to the T8X temper upon painting and baking of the panels.

Abstract: An alloy of aluminum containing magnesium, silicon and optionally copper in amounts in percent by weight falling within one of the following ranges:(1) 0.4.ltoreq.Mg.ltoreq.0.8, 0.2.ltoreq.Si.ltoreq.0.5, 0.3.ltoreq.Cu.ltoreq.3.5;(2) 0.8.ltoreq.Mg.ltoreq.1.4, 0.2.ltoreq.Si.ltoreq.0.5, Cu.ltoreq.2.5; and(3) 0.4.ltoreq.Mg.ltoreq.1.0, 0.2.ltoreq.Si.ltoreq.1.4, Cu.ltoreq.2.0; said alloyhaving been formed into a sheet having properties suitable for automotive applications. The alloy may also contain at least one additional element selected from the group consisting of Fe in an amount of 0.4 percent by weight or less, Mn in an amount of 0.4 percent by weight or less, Zn in an amount of 0.3 percent by weight or less and a small amount of at least one other element, such as Cr, Ti, Zr and V.

Abstract: Aluminum alloy sheet constituted of an alloy containing 0.65-0.79% Cu, 0.62-0.82% Mg, and 0.60-1.0% Si, produced by the successive steps of casting, homogenizing, cold rolling and solution-heat-treating, the sheet having strength and formability suitable for forming into automotive body members and being age-hardenable under paint-baking conditions.
