The present disclosure relates to inventions which may improve the construction of structures of various sizes, including houses, porches, patios, and the like. The disclosed embodiments provide advantages over concrete foundations. For example, disclosed embodiments may provide a base and a beam which can replace a concrete foundation, thereby facilitating easier construction while maintaining required structural integrity. The base and beam may be formed of metal and coated in corrosion resistant plastic. Moreover, a cap may be attached to the beam, where the cap provides an interface for attaching a structural support beam.

Beam and base for supporting structures

Mammalian hair growth can be reduced by topical application of an inhibitor of fatty acid metabolism.

Reduction of hair growth

A method of reducing hair growth in a mammal includes applying, to an area of skin from which reduced hair growth is desired, a dermatologically acceptable composition containing a suppressor of the metabolic pathway for the conversion of glucose to acetyl-CoA.

Mammalian hair growth is reduced by applying to the skin an inhibitor of protein-tyrosine kinase.

Mammalian hair growth is reduced by applying an inhibitor of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase to the skin.

A method of reducing hair growth in a mammal includes applying, to an area of skin from which reduced hair growth is desired, a dermatologically acceptable composition containing a compound that inhibits the formation of glycoproteins, proteglycans, or glycosaminoglycans in an amount effective to cause a reduction in hair growth.

Mammalian hair growth is reduced by applying to the skin an inhibitor of a cholesterol synthetic pathway enzyme.

Mammalian hair growth is reduced by applying to the skin a dermatologically acceptable composition including an inhibitor of arginase.

Mammalian hair growth is reduced by applying to the skin an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthetase.
