Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided for surgical and interventional planning, support, post-operative follow-up, and functional recovery tracking. In general, a patient can be tracked throughout medical treatment including through initial onset of symptoms, diagnosis, non-surgical treatment, surgical treatment, and recovery from the surgical treatment. In one embodiment, a patient and one or more medical professionals involved with treating the patient can electronically access a comprehensive treatment planning, support, and review system. The system can provide recommendations regarding diagnosis, non-surgical treatment, surgical treatment, and recovery from the surgical treatment based on data gathered from the patient and the medical professional(s).

Abstract: The invention is both a product and a method for the safe, harmless and effective remediation of oil spills on water and on land. The oil can then be successfully recovered from the product for use. The invention also allows for the reuse of two waste products—post consumer plastics and coal combustion product—into a material that is used for the clean-up of oil spills and for site remediation. Furthermore, the used product can be reprocessed post use into more usable product.

Abstract: A method for the reuse of coal composition products and a resultant material are disclosed. The method generally utilizes the steps of heating a plastic component to a melting point, adding a predetermined quantity of coal combustion products to the melted plastic, mixing, and cooling the mixture to a solid state. Preferably the end product of the mixture is comprised of 75% recycled plastic and 25% coal combustion products.

Abstract: An economical process for in vivo production of the pigment astaxanthin, and particularly a process for enhancing astaxanthin content of cultures of microorganisms of genus Phaffia, the process comprising culturing a microorganism of genus Phaffia in a nutrient medium containing an antibiotic, a cytochrome B inhibitor, or a terpenoid synthetic pathway inhibitor, cultivating surviving pigment enhanced microorganisms, and harvesting the yeast.

Abstract: Asymmetrical triazines form stable tank mixtures with trifluralin in the presence of an effective amount of a suitable divalent metal salt.

Abstract: Zerovalent nickel catalyzed hydrocyanation of mononitriloolefins e.g., 4-pentenenitrile, to dinitriles, e.g., adiponitrile, is improved by using a triorganotin compound as a promoter for the zerovalent nickel.
