Abstract: One variation of a method for serving interactive content to a user includes, at a visual element inserted into a document accessed by a computing device: loading a first frame from a digital video; in response to a scroll-down event that moves the visual element upward from a bottom of a window rendered on the computing device toward a top of the window, seeking from the first frame through a subset of frames in the digital video in a first direction at a rate corresponding to a scroll rate of the scroll-down event, the subset of frames spanning a duration of the digital video corresponding to a length of the scroll-down event; and, in response to termination of the scroll-down event with the visual element remaining in view within the window, playing the digital video forward from a last frame in the subset of frames in the digital video.

Abstract: A method of altering degradation of heterologous proteins in transgenic plants has now been found that utilizes ER-localizing proteins of plant viruses as part of a fusion protein. An engineered fusion protein is protected from degradation by a viral ER-localizing protein, and made more susceptible to degradation by certain mutant viral proteins that fail to localize to the ER.
