Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for creating a descriptor for a dashboard template. The column-to-visualization mappings are extracted from a dashboard of a created or modified dashboard (or a created or modified dashboard template). Furthermore, the concept combinations from each visualization of the dashboard are extracted. Additionally, topics from the dashboard are extracted. The concept combinations, topics and column-to-visualization mappings are aggregated into a dashboard template descriptor. The dashboard template descriptor is then stored. In this manner, the dashboard template descriptor captures how concept combinations are used in the visualizations of the dashboard as well as how high-level concepts (topics) are incorporated in the dashboard. Furthermore, the dashboard template descriptor captures how the concepts of the columns of a dataset are mapped to the visualizations of the dashboard.

Abstract: One or more example relate, generally, to generating radio frequency (RF) signals. An apparatus may include a signal generator, an amplification stage, and a feedback control loop. The signal generator may generate a pulsed radio frequency (RF) signal at least partially responsive to a digital pulsed waveform defined by one or more commands. The amplification stage may amplify the pulsed RF signal. The feedback control loop may be coupled to the amplification stage to regulate a power level of respective steps of the pulsed RF signal.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for recommending a template or a dataset. A descriptor (input descriptor) of the input, corresponding to a dataset or a dashboard template, is extracted or fetched. The input descriptor may be the descriptor of the dataset which includes topics and concept combinations. Alternatively, the input descriptor may be the descriptor of the dashboard template which includes topics, concept combinations and column-to-visualization mappings. Scores are then generated for the candidate targets, corresponding to dashboard templates or datasets, based on one or more of the following: matching topics in the input descriptor with topics in the candidate target descriptors, matching concept combinations in the input descriptor with concept combinations in the candidate target descriptors, and determining compatibility of the datasets with the dashboard templates.

Abstract: Engineered transcriptional activator-like effectors (TALEs) are versatile tools for genome manipulation with applications in research and clinical contexts. One current drawback of TALEs is that the 5? nucleotide of the target is specific for thymine (T). TALE domains with alternative 5? nucleotide specificities could expand the scope of DNA target sequences that can be bound by TALEs. Another drawback of TALEs is their tendency to bind and cleave off-target sequence, which hampers their clinical application and renders applications requiring high-fidelity binding unfeasible. This disclosure provides methods and strategies for the continuous evolution of proteins comprising DNA-binding domains, e.g., TALE domains. In some aspects, this disclosure provides methods and strategies for evolving such proteins under positive selection for a desired DNA-binding activity and/or under negative selection against one or more undesired (e.g., off-target) DNA-binding activities.

Abstract: A heat exchanger (4) has fluid flow channels (6) with at least one heat exchanging surface (10) which has an undulating surface section for which the surface profile varies along a predetermined direction such that at a first edge (E1) the surface profile follows a first transverse wave (20), at a second edge (E)2 the surface profile follows a second transverse wave (22) and at an intermediate point I between the edges the surface profile follows a third transverse wave (24). The third transverse wave (24) has a different phase, frequency or amplitude to the first and second transverse waves so that chevron-shaped ridges and valleys are formed. This improves the mixing of fluid passing through the channel and hence the heat exchange efficiency.
