Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating images. In one aspect, a method includes: receiving an input text prompt including a sequence of text tokens in a natural language; processing the input text prompt using a text encoder neural network to generate a set of contextual embeddings of the input text prompt; and processing the contextual embeddings through a sequence of generative neural networks to generate a final output image that depicts a scene that is described by the input text prompt.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of treating a tumor with a nucleotide vaccine (e.g., DNA vaccine encoding a tumor antigen) in combination with an IL-7. In some aspects, the IL-7 is administered after the administration of the nucleotide vaccine (e.g., after the peak expansion phase of the tumor-specific T cell immune response) or concurrently with the nucleotide vaccine.

Abstract: A system for cooling an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) instrument includes: the ICP instrument; a pump in fluid communication with the instrument via a first conduit; and a micro-channel heat exchanger in fluid communication with the instrument via a second conduit, and in fluid communication with the pump via a third conduit. The pump is configured to generate a pump outlet pressure of coolant that exceeds a back pressure of the instrument such that a pressure of the coolant traveling through the second conduit and into the heat exchanger is less than or equal to 5 pounds per square inch (psi) above atmospheric pressure, as measured at an inlet to the heat exchanger.

Abstract: A nutritional supplement comprising extracts Nigella sativa, Kaempferia parviflora, and Rosa canina and a method for blood glucose control and liver protection is provided. The nutritional supplement and method are particularly suited for use in conjunction with methods of weight loss. The supplement and method may also be used in other methods and compositions where it is desirable to control blood glucose levels and provide liver protection.

Abstract: An improved laxative composition is provided having efficacy with reduced negative side-effects. The laxative composition is also provided with agents that promote healthy intestinal and liver function, reduce carbohydrate absorption and have antioxidant capacity. A method is also provided for reducing the negative side-effects associated with Anthranoid-based laxative compositions. A method is further provided for increasing the efficacy and/or duration of effect of Anthranoid-based laxative compositions.

Abstract: A dietary supplement and method for increasing energy and mental alertness of an individual, e.g. a human or an animal is provided comprising at least Caffeine Anhydrous, Taurine, an a plant extract providing antioxidant activity. Additionally, a method for increasing energy and metal alertness in an individual, e.g. a human or an animal is also provided.
