Abstract: A method and system for generating an interactive gaming platform is disclosed herein. A computing system generates an interactive marketplace. The computing system generates an initial book value based at least on historical performance of each athlete. The computing system generates an interactive game space for each event. The computing system monitors, for each event, one or more external data sources to identify one or more fantasy points scored by each player in the subset of players. The computing system generates a percentage of fantasy points earned in relation to subset of players associated with the event. The computing system allocates, for each event, the event pool to each player in accordance with the percentage of fantasy points earned by each player to generate a post-event book value.

Abstract: Methods, compositions, and devices are disclosed which use microRNA to detect, predict, treat, and monitor physiological conditions such as disease or injury. microRNA are isolated and their differential expression is measured to provide diagnostic information. This information may then be utilized for evaluation and/or treatment purposes.

Abstract: Improved methods to quantitate RNA in biological or other analytical samples employ extended RNAs containing adaptors at the 5? end and polyA sequences coupled to a tag at the 3? end. The invention method is particularly useful in quantitating microRNAs as primers can be used that need not complement the non-conserved 3? ends of these molecules.

Abstract: Determination of the level and identity of various RNA molecules in circulation or tissues of subjects permits determination of microbiome composition and function of the subject as well as providing an index to health of various organs. Because rapid parallel sequencing techniques are available, such determinations can be conducted on a practical level.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for detecting target RNA molecules. A specialized DNA probe can be used to form RNA/DNA hybrids with target RNA molecules. Separation of the RNA/DNA hybrids increases the ease and sensitivity of detection and quantitation of the target RNA molecules.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for protecting and administering small RNA to preserve stability are described. The small RNAs may either be in unmodified form or may be chemically modified to enhance stability further.

Abstract: A multiband antenna includes a first conducting layer and a second conducting layer. The first conducting layer acts as a radiating element being placed over the second conducting layer while the second conducting layer acts as a ground plane. The first conducting layer includes a feeding point, the feeding point being a starting point for a first shorter arm and a second longer arm, the first and second arms forming a multilevel structure for the multiband antenna.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a new family of antennas with a multiband behaviour and a reduced size. The general configuration of the antenna consists of a multilevel structure which provides the multiband behaviour, combined with a multilevel and/or space-filling ground-plane. The multilevel structure consists of two arms of different length that follow a winding parallel path spaced by a winding parallel gap (parallel to the arms) with a substantially similar shape as each of said arms, that is, with a similar winding path as the arms. The resulting antenna covers the major current and future wireless services, opening this way a wide range of possibilities in the design of universal, multi-purpose, wireless terminals and devices.
