Abstract: A building panel is provided. The building panel includes an exterior wall portion, an interior wall portion, a pair of opposing sidewalls, a first end portion and an opposite second end portion. The pair of opposing sidewalls spacing apart the interior wall portion from the exterior wall portion to define a cavity therebetween. The exterior wall portion, the interior wall portion and the pair of opposing sidewalls are arcuate in shape to define the building panel. The first end portion has a slip lock slot extending between the pair of opposing sidewalls. The second end portion has a slip lock tab member extending between the pair of opposing sidewalls. The slip lock slot of the building panel is configured to receive the slip lock tab member of a second building panel to adjoin the first and second building panels in a continuous fashion.

Abstract: In certain example embodiments, the invention provides a method of generating an ex vivo cell-based system comprising dissociating an original tissue sample obtained from a subject into a single cell population; determining an in vivo phenotype of the tissue sample by conducting single-cell RNA analysis on a first portion of the single cells; establishing an ex vivo cell-based system from a second portion of the single cells; and culturing the ex vivo cell-based system in a medium or conditions selected to maintain the in vivo phenotype. In some embodiments, the original tissue sample is a tumor tissue sample, such as a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumor sample.

Abstract: Inactivated antigens have only been used in avian medicine in parenterally administered vaccines. The only mucosally administered vaccines have been live, modified live, or attenuated vaccines. However, live vaccines have several disadvantages, including the risk of causing disease. Disclosed embodiments concern a composition comprising inactivated bacterial and/or viral antigens that is formulated for mucosal administration to an avian, and a method of using the composition. In certain embodiments, the composition comprises inactivated Clostridium perfringens type A antigens, and/or Salmonella spp. antigens, such as antigens from Salmonella kentucky, Salmonella typhimurium, and/or Salmonella enteriditis, or E. coli antigens. The composition may comprise a polyacrylic acid adjuvant. The composition may be administered to an avian in ovo, during the first 14 days after hatching, or after the first 14 days.

Abstract: A system facilitates acquisition of virtual assets by obtaining information about a user and information about one or more computer applications associated with the user. When the user navigates a device to a catalog screen for virtual assets for computer applications, the system automatically presents to the user a filtered listing of applications for which purchasable virtual assets are available to the user that is filtered according to the information about the user and/or the information about one or more computer applications associated with the user. When the user selects an application on the filtered listing, the system automatically presents to the user a filtered catalog of purchasable virtual assets that are available to the user for the selected application that is filtered according to the information about the user and/or the information about one or more computer applications associated with the user.

Abstract: The type III restriction enzyme EcoP15I is used to isolate from cDNA of an expressed gene a tag comprising more than 25 nucleotides and capable of identifying the expressed gene, wherein the 3? end of the tag is defined by a cleavage site of the type III restriction enzyme and the 5? end of the tag is defined by the cleavage site of another restriction enzyme that is closest to the 3? end of the cDNA of the expressed gene. The tag of the invention allows accurate quantitative gene expression analysis and rapid gene expression profiling in any organism for which no expressed sequence tag (EST) database is available.
