Abstract: Example methods and apparatuses are disclosed for providing tissue ablation through electrolysis, electroporation, or a combination thereof. A way to deliver the combination through a pulse that has an element of gradual decay and can thereby reduce both muscle contraction and electric breakdown discharge at the electrodes is disclosed. The apparatus disclosed may include an electrode, a power supply, and a controller. The controller may control a charge applied to the electrode to induce a direct current through a treatment site to produce electrolysis products and a voltage to produce electroporation. The duration and magnitude of the charge applied may determine the dose of the products and the degree of the permeabilization of cells in the treatment site.

Abstract: In a system and method for measuring global urbanicity, trapezoid shapes are built based on latitude/longitude boundaries using two different scales in two dimensions, thus yielding four different shapes/sizes of trapezoids. A multiplier is applied to adjust the count within a trapezoid to compensate for the fact that these trapezoids delineated by latitude/longitude lines will diminish in size as they approach the poles of the Earth. Census data is applied from a given country, and then summed up using an external data set pertaining to counts. Finally, the counts are rolled up into a set number of urbanicity “bands” or levels as desired for a particular application.

Abstract: Distinguishing pattern differences from non-pattern differences. A set of differences is identified. The set comprises a plurality of differences between first and second versions of a document. A pattern is identified. The pattern explains a transformation from a first string in the first version of the document to a second string in the second version of the document. A subset of differences are identified. The subset comprises a plurality of differences, from among the set, which match the pattern. While presenting a user interface that visually highlights differences between the first and second versions of the document, a first visual treatment is applied to a first difference, based on the first difference being included in the subset. A second visual treatment is also applied to a second difference, based on the second difference being excluded from the subset. The second visual treatment is different than the first visual treatment.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques for using a graph neural network to encode online job postings as embeddings. First, an input graph is defined by processing one or more rules to discover edges that connect nodes in an input graph, where the nodes of the input graph represent job postings or standardized job attributes, and the edges are determined based on analyzing a log of user activity directed to online job postings. Next, a graph neural network (GNN) is trained based on an edge prediction task. Finally, once trained, the GNN is used to derive node embeddings for the nodes (e.g., job postings) of the input graph, and in some instances, new online job postings not represented in the original input graph.
