Abstract: The disclosure provides systems and methods for an improved Proof of Work (PoW) technique that enforces the creation of cryptographic tokens while solving the PoW puzzle. The systems and methods disclosed herein more efficiently utilize the high computational and energy consumption in attempts to solve PoW puzzles, by combining the computations necessary for several types of cryptographic functions (e.g., public-key cryptographic methods). For example, systems and methods disclosed herein may reuse pre-computed commitments, while still preserving the traditional and accepted PoW protocols.

Abstract: A method of predicting the development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) in lung transplant patients using N-myc-interactor (NMI) as a biomarker and associated treatment thereof is presented. Also presented is a method of reducing the risk of CLAD by administering a therapeutic agent capable of increasing NMI in the patient. NMI is a critical regulator of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and an important precursor to development of CLAD. NMI expression is reduced in CLAD patients and can be used as an early diagnostic biomarker to predict the development of CLAD. NMI can also be used as a drug target for a therapeutic to increase expression of NMI and treat chronic lung disease such as CLAD. Therapeutics comprising NMI protein or NMI gene can be used as potential treatments for chronic lung diseases such as CLAD.

Abstract: A method for generating three dimensional indicators for the visually impaired. The method includes selecting one or more pre-designed symbols from a plurality of pre-designed symbols. The pre-designed symbols represent standard building layout features and are sized to be readable via a physical touch. The method further includes inserting the one or more selected symbols into a two dimensional digital layout, and generating one or more of an orientation object and a legend object into the two dimensional digital layout. The method further includes converting the two dimensional digital layout into a three dimensional digital model, and generating an output file including the three dimensional model in a format compatible with a three dimensional printing device.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of forming a method for forming spectrally selective nanoparticles, the method comprising: heating a growth solution comprising a zinc salt precursor, zinc oxide seed particles, and one or more dopants in a non-pressurized hydrothermal reactor to a first temperature under agitative conditions for a reaction period; cooling the reactor to a second temperature less than the first temperature for a cooling period to form a precipitate of recrystallized doped zinc oxide nanoparticles dispersed in a suspension; and separating and collecting the recrystallized nanoparticles from the suspension, wherein the collected nanoparticles exhibit a spectral selectivity in the atmospheric window.
Also disclosed herein are comprising a population of polycrystalline zinc oxide nanoparticles doped with one or more dopants, wherein the population of nanoparticles is spectrally selective in the atmospheric window.
