A dispersion, methods of making the same, applications of the dispersion to graphitic material and the resulting coated particles are disclosed. The dispersion includes ≤55% wt. coal tar pitch (softening point 100° C.-95° C.), ≤60% wt. dispersant, and the balance a non-aromatic solvent such as water or alcohol. Pitch particles in the dispersion are preferably ≤10 μm with a distribution of D50<15 μm. The pitch particles are micronized, such as by dry and/or wet milling with the dispersant and aqueous solvent to achieve the desired pitch particle size and distribution. This aqueous dispersion may be mixed with natural or synthetic graphitic material having a diameter of 5-20 μm in a ratio of 5%-30% pitch to graphite, dried and carbonized to form coated particles having a graphitic core at least partially coated by pitch particles.

The foam and fiber composite can provide an absorbent article with improved dryness and an improved liquid distribution capability. The foam and fiber composite can be formed from at least two materials. The first material is an open cell foam material and the second material is a fibrous material. A plurality of the fibers forming the fibrous material can be fluid inserted into the open cell foam material thereby forming the foam and fiber composite. In various embodiments, the foam and fiber composite can be incorporated into an absorbent article as a component of an absorbent system located between a topsheet layer and a backsheet layer of the absorbent article.

Method of manufacturing a foam and fiber composite

A method for producing copper carboxylate, a wood preservative composition comprising copper carboxylate, and a wood product produced therefrom are provided. The method comprises combining a hydrocarbon solvent, a copper compound, and carboxylic acid and contacting the copper compound with the carboxylic acid in the presence of the hydrocarbon solvent to form a reaction product comprising copper carboxylate.

A diagnostic system for model governance is presented. The diagnostic system includes an auto-encoder to monitor model suitability for both supervised and unsupervised models. When applied to unsupervised models, the diagnostic system can provide a reliable indication on model degradation and recommendation on model rebuild. When applied to supervised models, the diagnostic system can determine the most appropriate model for the client based on a reconstruction error of a trained auto-encoder for each associated model. An auto-encoder can determine outliers among subpopulations of consumers, as well as support model go-live inspections.

Auto-encoder enhanced self-diagnostic components for model monitoring

This document presents multi-layered, self-calibrating analytics for detecting fraud in transaction data without substantial historical data. One or more variables from a set of variables are provided to each of a plurality of self-calibrating models that are implemented by one or more data processors, each of the one or more variables being generated from real-time production data related to the transaction data. The one or more variables are processed according to each of the plurality of self-calibrating models implemented by the one or more data processors to produce a self-calibrating model output for each of the plurality of self-calibrating models. The self-calibrating model output from each of the plurality of self-calibrating models is combined in an output model implemented by one or more data processors. Finally, a fraud score output for the real-time production data is generated from the self-calibrating model output.

Multi-layered self-calibrating analytics

This invention provides compounds, compositions and methods for modulating the expression of human GST-&#x3c0; using RNA interference. The RNA interference molecules can be used in methods for preventing or treating diseases such as malignant tumor. Provided are a range of siRNA structures, having one or more of nucleotides being modified or chemically-modified. Advantageous structures include siRNAs with 2'-deoxy nucleotides located in the seed region, as well as other nucleotide modifications.

RNA interference agents for GST-PI gene modulation

Stable wood preservative formulations comprising an amine copper complex, an azole compound, a cationic surfactant, and optionally, an organic solvent, are disclosed. The wood preservative formulations exhibit long-term stability and remain homogeneous, without the need for agitation.

The present invention relates to a method for producing copper ammonia solutions by reacting a cuprous oxide with ammonia, carbon dioxide and an oxidant. The resulting copper-containing solution can then be used to formulate a variety of wood preserving products.

Method of preparing copper-containing wood preserving compositions

Methods for spraying a coating composition, with or without a fire retardant, onto a wood product, and wood products produced by the methods are disclosed. The method comprises a two-component system comprising (i) one or more aliphatic isocyanate compounds; and (ii) one or more aliphatic amine compounds, and, optionally, one or more fire retardants which are stored separately and combined in a spray gun to form a mixture which is then sprayed onto the wood product to form an external coating on one or more surfaces of the wood product. Wood coated with the compositions disclosed herein have increased dimensional stability and are resistant to checking and/or splitting compared to untreated wood.

Spray-on exterior coating compositions for wood treatment

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for treating wood to give it a desirable color that is durable over time, while at the same time rendering the wood resistant to fungal decay and insect attack. The wood may be pressure treated in a two-step process whereby the wood is first treated with a wood preservation composition, and then treated with a composition comprising pigments, or vice versa. Alternatively, the wood may be simultaneously treated with a composition comprising a wood preservative and a composition comprising pigments.
