Abstract: In response to a user request, a computer generates a graphical user interface on a computer display. A schema information region of the graphical user interface includes multiple operand names, each operand name associated with one or more fields of a multi-dimensional database. A data visualization region of the graphical user interface includes multiple shelves. Upon detecting a user selection of the operand names and a user request to associate each user-selected operand name with a respective shelf in the data visualization region, the computer generates a visual table in the data visualization region in accordance with the associations between the operand names and the corresponding shelves. The visual table includes a plurality of panes, each pane having at least one axis defined based on data for the fields associated with a respective operand name.

Abstract: An isolated nucleic acid molecule, wherein the molecule contains: (1) a first sequence consisting of human cystatin B genomic DNA as set forth in FIG. 3 (SEQ ID NO:1); (2) a second sequence, wherein said second sequence is a subsequence of said first sequence, is at least nucleotides in length, and is not present in human cystatin B cDNA; (3) a third sequence in which at least one nucleotide of said first or second sequences is replaced by a different nucleotide; or (4) a fourth sequence complementary to any of said first, second or third sequences; with the proviso that (I) if said molecule is an RNA molecule, U replaces T in said sequence of said molecule, and (ii) said third sequence is at least 95% identical to said first or second sequence.

Abstract: Method and compositions produced thereby concerning high specific surface area carbides and nitrides. The carbides and nitrides are obtained by thermal reduction of oxides in the presence of a source of carbon or nitrogen respectively, with relatively slow progressive temperature increases prior to completion of the reaction, followed by quenching.
