Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the use of whey protein as an anti-odour agent in a fabric, a textile finishing anti-odour method using whey proteins as an anti-odour agent, anti-odour compositions and anti-odour articles.

Abstract: A method performed on a client computing device for providing a graphical user interface for searching through topics and user profiles. It includes rendering, the graphical user interface comprising a first search node, associated with a first node data structure; receiving user input corresponding to a selection of one of the first plurality of nodes as a second search node; and node position input of the second search node; transmitting, a selection request corresponding to the node selection of one of the first plurality of nodes; receiving, data relating to a second plurality of node data structures associated with the second search node; generating on the graphical user interface the second search node at a location on the graphical user interface corresponding to the node position input; and a linking member connecting the first search node to the second search node.

Abstract: Electrocatalytic polyaniline-derived mesoporous carbon nanoparticles and methods of synthesizing and using the same are provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for orienting a test article relative to a loading axis includes a first member and a second member. The first member may have a concave surface. The second member may have a convex surface configured to engage the concave surface in a manner such that the second member is movable relative to the first member. The test article may be coupled to one of the first and second members such that relative movement thereof facilitates general alignment of the test article with the axial loading axis. The leveling apparatus may further include a plurality of positioning devices configured to facilitate adjustment of an orientation of the second number relative to the first member such that the alignment of the test article may be adjusted.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a supported catalyst for the polymerization of olefins. More specifically, the present invention provides a catalyst comprising a spherical alumina support modified by the addition of a magnesium compound containing a magnesium alkoxide and the product of the reaction of it with a titanium halide. The present invention also relates to the method for preparing said supported catalyst.

Abstract: This invention refers to the oil and gas production industry and can be employed to enhance the productivity of wells by preventing the closure of fractures through application of proppant granular material during the formation fracturing operation.
