Abstract: Lipidic compound (lipidic molecule)-telodendrimer hybrid nanoparticles. For example, the lipidic compound-telodendrimer hybrid nanoparticles are lipid/lipidoid-telodendrimer hybrid nanoparticles. The nanoparticles can comprise a plurality of lipidic molecules (e.g., lipid molecules, lipidoid molecules, or mixtures of different lipid molecules or different lipidoid molecules). The hybrid nanoparticles can comprise one or more lipid or lipidoid and one or more telodendrimer. The hybrid nanoparticles can also comprise cholesterol. In various examples, the hybrid nanoparticles also comprise a small molecule, peptide, protein, or a combination thereof. In various examples, lipid-telodendrimer hybrid nanoparticles comprising one or more small molecules or lipidoid-telodendrimer hybrid nanoparticles comprising one or more protein(s) and/or peptide(s) are used in methods of small-molecule or protein/peptide delivery.

Abstract: A detachable handle for lifting and carrying a plant flat. The handle includes a central carrying portion and a securing portion located at each end of the handle. In construction, each securing portion is divided longitudinally into two subsections, which are separated from each other and capable of being releasably connected to slotted apertures that are found on the top portion of the plant flat.

Abstract: The present invention relates to affixing identification tags to a container. More specifically, the present invention relates to affixing a plastic identification tag to a plant container using ultrasonic welding and/or heat staking. A plastic stud may exist that extends from either the tag or the container through a hole or recess in the other of the tag or container. The stud is then deformed via ultrasonic welding or heat staking to secure the tag to the container. The tag may be affixed without the use of a stud via ultrasonic welding and/or heat staking.

Abstract: Flame resistant fabrics useful as battings such as in mattresses and upholstery contain cellulose fibers (which retain at least 10 percent of their weight when heated in air to 700° C. at a rate of 20° C. per minute) and animal wool.

Abstract: The invention provides fusion toxins that contain one or more regions of diphtheria toxin and a portion of urokinase-type plasminogen activator, as well as the nucleic acids that encode the fusion toxins and methods of using the fusion toxins.

Abstract: A plant tag having a body and a central leg which is to be inserted into a slot formed in a pot and two side legs which are to be inserted inside the pot into the growing media. The central leg comprises one or more indentations and/or tabs for resisting removal when the central leg is inserted into a slot on a pot.
