Abstract: The present invention provides the compound Ormeloxifene [3,4-trans-2,2-dimethyl-3-phenyl-4-p-(beta-pyrrolidinoethoxy)phenyl-7-methoxy chroman] as useful in inducing differentiation in wide range of myeloid leukemias including acute promyelocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia and chronic myeloid leukemia where block in differentiation is common feature. Ormeloxifene induced differentiation that is marked by increase in differentiation marker proteins like C/EBP? and surface proteins such as cd11b and granulocyte colony stimulating factor receptor (GCSFr). Differentiated cells having neutrophil like morphology were observed when treated with 1.0 uM to 7.5 uM ORM which clearly indicates that ORM can induce differentiation in myeloid leukemia cells. At higher doses (5 uM to 7.5 uM) there is early onset of myeloid differentiation (24 to 48 h) with reduced no. of cells which is likely due to apoptotic effects of ORM at higher does.

Abstract: Systems and methods of estimating an efficiency of a section of a steam turbine are disclosed. The systems and methods include determining a set of measurement data obtained directly from a set of sensors on the steam turbine, determining a set of derived data relating to measurements that cannot be obtained directly from the set of sensors, and estimating the efficiency of the section using the set of measurement data and the set of derived data. The systems and methods disclosed use physics-based models combined with nonlinear filtering techniques to estimate steam turbines' efficiencies when physical sensors are not available. These models capture the behavior of different components of the power plant, including all steam turbine sections, admission and crossover pipes, flow junctions, admission and control valves.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products for bookkeeping of download stamps are described herein. An embodiment includes augmenting database table (or mobile business object) metadata with a synchronization (“sync”) key and assigning a unique identifier to each sync key. A sync key is assigned to one or more rows (or records) in the database table and a download timestamp is associated with each sync key. The embodiment further includes identifying a sync key associated with each row in the database table. Links between rows occurring in different database tables are maintained using sync keys. In this way, embodiments of the invention allow a server to record a download timestamp of database table subsets, where such subsets may include one or more rows in the database tables. This allows data to be downloaded by a client at subset granularity.
