A method and apparatus is disclosed wherein the flow resistance of a droplet disposed on a nanostructured or microstructured surface is controlled. A closed-cell feature is used in a way such that, when the pressure of at least a first fluid within one or more of the cells of said surface is decreased to or below a desired level, a droplet disposed on that surface is caused to at least partially penetrate the surface. In another illustrative embodiment, the pressure within one or more of the cells is increased to or above a desired level in a way such that the droplet of liquid is returned at least partially to its original, unpenetrated position. In yet another embodiment, a closed-cell structure feature pattern is used to prevent penetration of the nanostructured or microstructured surface, even when the pressure of the fluid disposed on the surface is relatively high.

A photocatalytic air treatment system, including apparatuses and methods, for killing and / or mineralizing bacteria, viruses, mold, fungi, spores, mycotoxins, allergens, and other similar microorganisms or agents, and for oxidizing volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The system comprises one or more reactor beds configured in one or more stages with each reactor bed including a plurality of photocatalyst coated media substantially surrounding a plurality of sheathed ultraviolet light sources that may be arranged in a plurality of configurations. Adjacent ultraviolet light sources are positioned so as to create killing zones of photocatalyst coated media therebetween that are irradiated with ultraviolet light from multiple sources and in which an increased number of hydroxyl radicals are present. The photocatalyst generally comprises titanium dioxide, but may include one or more enhancers. The media is formed from or is coated with a material that induces the photocatalyst to form a nano-particle structure.

Compositions and methods of using the same for the treatment of diabetes and other disorders of glucose metabolism are provided. Compositions may include an anti-diabetic agent and one or more of a bioavailable source of chromium and vanadium.

An impact attenuator system includes a hyperelastic member that comprises an energy absorbing material which behaves in a rate-independent hyperelastic manner so that its permanent set is minimized and the material can absorb tremendous amounts of impact energy while remaining fully recoverable.

A communication system has a plurality of ground stations and a plurality of satellites located in a first orbit with respect to the earth. The satellites generate a plurality of beams corresponding to a respective plurality of cell. The plurality of beams has widths that vary relative to position in the orbit to maintain a cell size of the plurality of cells. A plurality of user terminals within the cells receives communication signals from the satellite.

A system including temperature measuring devices, a controller, and an actuator, maintains a desired gas temperature range in the secondary combustor by proportionally making adjustments to the primary air orifice or other primary air valve of a cordwood burning appliance. Heat output of the appliance is directly related to the temperature of the gases in the secondary combustor, and sufficient engagement of the second combustor during off-gassing of volatiles from the wood will control emissions from the appliance. The operator can select a desired room temperature via the thermostat and the controller will use different secondary gas temperature target ranges in order to meet the desired room temperature as commanded by the thermostat throughout the burn event. The controller also controls the start-up phase of combustion and charcoal phase of combustion.

A method for reducing the likelihood of developing non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in an individual diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease involves providing in the gut of an individual a population of beneficial bacteria selected from the group consisting of Lactobacillus species, and at least 6 grams per day of fiber to the individual to maintain a therapeutically effective amount of the beneficial bacteria in the gut of the individual. In certain embodiments, monoacylglycerolacyltransferase-3 (MGAT3) synthesis is inhibited to lower triacylglycerol (TAG) production, while in others, expression of diacylglycerolacyltransferase-2 (DGAT-2) is inhibited. The beneficial bacteria are preferably modified to produce increased amounts of butyrate and are also encapsulated in a frangible enclosure. Levels of Roseburia are preferably increased while the levels of Akkermansia spp. in the individual's gut microbiome are reduced.

A method for reducing the likelihood of developing liver cancer in an individual diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease that involves providing an individual with an effective amount of a composition of bacteria modified using a Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats-CRISPR-associated system (CRISPR-Cas) or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats from Prevotella and Francisella 1 (CRISPR / Cpf1) system so that the bacteria is able to produce a therapeutically effective amount of anti-bodies to oxidized low density lipoprotein, with the modified bacteria preferably being from the Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Streptococcus species; and most preferably including L. reuteri bacteria modified using CRISPR-Cas and / or Cpf1 systems so that it is able to survive the conditions in the duodenum and jejunum of the small intestine of a human.
