Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally compositions and methods of using the same for the treatment of proteinopathies (e.g. Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and Huntington's disease) with one or more proteotoxicity reducing agents.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of making a coating composition for coating glass. The method includes the steps of combining an epoxy resin component, a methacrylate component, a silane coupling agent, an epoxy curing agent, and an initiator agent.

Abstract: A modular enclosure system, for example, for housing plants and/or animals is provided. The enclosure system includes a frame assembly having a plurality of vertical and horizontal members, and a plurality of connectors adapted to engage the horizontal and vertical members. The members include longitudinal projections or ribs adapted to engage a plurality of panel assemblies. The panel assemblies include first ends adapted to pivotally engage a rib of one member and a second end having a releasable locking mechanism adapted to engage a rib of a member. The enclosure may be used for any type of storage or housing, but is uniquely adapted to house animals, for example, pets, or plants. Aspects of the invention also include a structural system having horizontal and vertical members and connectors adapted to engage the members.

Abstract: A waste collection pad for use in training an animal, such as a domestic pet, to urinate or defecate in a predetermined location. The collection pad includes a support frame and a liquid retaining layer mounted above the support frame. The support frame provides structural rigidity to retain the pad in a flattened state. The collection pad is deformable from a first undeformed shape having a first size to a second deformed shape having a second size, smaller than the first size, for example, a more a convenient shape to facilitate handling. The support frame may comprise a perforated sheet having foldable seams allowing the collection pad to be folded. The collection pad may also be rolled into a cylindrical shape to facilitate handling.

Abstract: Polymers containing triarylsilyl(meth)acryloyl units are erodible in seawater and can be used to formulate antifouling marine paints. The polymers are characterized by low levels of triarylsilyl(meth) acrylate units and an erosion rate in seawater of 2 to about 15 microns per month.

Abstract: Method and apparatus to measure jitter (period-to-period fluctuations in fundamental frequency) among the voices of suicidal, major depressed, and non-suicidal patients to predict near-term suicidal risk.

Abstract: A method for evaluating near-term suicidal risk by analysis of a series of spoken words includes converting the spoken series of words into a signal having characteristics indicative of said words as spoken, dynamically monitoring said signal to detect changes therein and identifying the person as having a relatively high near-term risk of suicide on the basis of such monitored changes in the signal relative to the speech of individuals in good mental health having no near-term suicidal risk.

Abstract: An MEA preparation method involves low temperature plasma deposition of catalysts such as platinum onto a substrate to form a proton-conducting cation-exchange membrane. The substrate may be a solid polymer electrolyte membrane, or may include carbon cloth or carbon particles. The deposition is carried out at atmospheric pressure without the addition of noble gases to the reactant carrier.

Abstract: Copolymers of at least three monomer units selected from the group consisting of fluorinated acrylic (methacrylic) monomers, triorganosilylacrylic (e.g. trimethylsilyl methacrylate) monomers and acrylic monomers not containing an organosilyl moiety, (e.g. methyl methacrylate) and optionally containing from 0-5 weight percent of a cross-linking agent are novel compositions useful as polymeric binders in long life marine antifoulant coatings.

Abstract: Active Rhodium catalyst and impurities are separated from a hydroformylation process stream containing both active and inactive organo-rhodium catalyst by binding active catalyst and impurities to an acidic ion exchange resin containing an acidic group. The purified hydroformylation stream can be returned to the hydroformylation reactor. All or a portion of inactive rhodium can be reactivated before recycling purified hydroformylation process stream to the reactor. During regeneration of the resin, a neutral solvent is used first to remove impurities which are discarded, then an acidic solvent is used to remove active organic rhodium catalyst from the resin. Such active catalyst can be rehydrided and returned to the hydroformylation reactor. An ion exchange resin having at least one acid group disposed on a silica backbone and an active organo-rhodium complex from a hydroformylation process stream bound to the resin can be produced.
