Abstract: A method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for estimating mechanistic chromatography model uncertainty. A mechanistic model of chromatography that comprises a plurality of parameters is received. For each of the plurality of parameters, a corresponding region of values is identified based on a relationship between values for the plurality of parameters. Each parameter of the plurality of parameters is sampled within the corresponding region of values for each parameter to form a plurality of simulation sets. An uncertainty for the mechanistic model is quantified using the plurality of simulation sets.

The invention also provides methods of using these heteromultimeric proteins, and compositions, kits and articles of manufacture comprising these antibodies.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for service orchestration within a distributed pod based system. Particularly, aspects are directed to receiving, at a kernel residing on a distributed computing environment, a request to initiate deployment for a subservice or service on the distributed computing environment. The subservice or service has a type, and in order for the subservice or service to be deployed on the distributed computing environment, the type of the subservice or service has to be one that the distributed computing environment is configured to support. In response to receiving the request and the type of the subservice or service being one that the distributed computing environment is configured to support, specified resources are provisioned, and the subservice or service is deployed using a replica of a pod containing the provisioned specified resources and a modified image for the type of the subservice or service.

Abstract: The application disclosed concerns a method of treating pneumonia in a patient who is not mechanically ventilated comprising administering an IL-6 antagonist (e.g. tocilizumab) to the patient in an amount effective to prevent the patient from dying or receiving mechanical ventilation. The disclosure is based on the results of the EM PACTA clinical trial.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving one or more querying images associated with a container of a pharmaceutical product, each of the one or more querying images being based on a particular angle of the container of the pharmaceutical product, calculating one or more confidence scores associated with one or more defect indications, respectively for the container of the pharmaceutical product, by processing the one or more querying images using a target machine-learning model, and determining a defect indication for the container of the pharmaceutical product from the one or more defect indications based on a comparison between the one or more confidence scores and one or more predefined threshold scores, respectively.
