Abstract: The present disclosure provides a human metapneumovirus (hMPV) vaccine comprising an hMPV F protein antigen, and methods of eliciting an immune response by administering said vaccine.

Abstract: Provided are modified influenza virus subtype 2 neuraminidase molecules lacking all or substantially all of the stalk region that form active, soluble tetrameric neuraminidase when expressed in host cells and vaccine compositions comprising the tetrameric neuraminidase or a nucleic acid encoding the modified monomeric influenza virus subtype 2 neuraminidase molecules that forms tetrameric NA when expressed in a cell. Also provided are methods of using the vaccine compositions to vaccinate or immunize a subject against influenza virus.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides antigenic prefusion hMPV F polypeptides, nucleic acid sequences (e.g., RNA sequences, e.g., mRNA sequences) encoding prefusion hMPV F polypeptides, compositions comprising antigenic prefusion hMPV F polypeptides, compositions comprising nucleic acid sequences encoding prefusion hMPV F polypeptides, and hMPV vaccines.

Abstract: A hydroponic cultivation apparatus, a system and a method for facilitating hydroponic cultivation is disclosed. The hydroponic cultivation apparatus includes a reservoir, a plinth, a grow tray with a grow tray lid, and a docking with coupler. The reservoir, placed upon the plinth, is located at a higher position adjacent to the grow tray for optimizing liquid circulation from the reservoir to the grow tray and vice-versa using one or more pipes, a solenoid valve and a pump. The base further includes a dock coupled to the grow tray for providing an electrical connectivity to the grow tray and simultaneously allowing the liquid to flow through the grow tray without being leaked. Further, the apparatus is having a roof which is provided with sources of illumination for providing light required for plant growth.

Abstract: A seed storage device comprising a plurality of pods connected sequentially. Each pod is adapted to store one or more seeds and adapted to be breachable to facilitate releasing the seeds to a planting location. An associated method of storing seeds comprising placing one or more seeds into a pod of the seed storage device, and an associated method of planting seeds using the seed storage device, are also provided. A completed seed kit comprising the seed storage device with one or more seeds stored in one or more of the pods is also provided.
