Abstract: Diagnosis, treatment and prophylaxis of diseases and conditions associated with smooth muscle cell (SMC) dysfunction are provided through the inhibition or IL-11-mediated signalling.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to the treatment, prevention or alleviation of conditions such as fibrosis in a subject. In some embodiments, the treatment, prevention or alleviation of fibrosis in a subject through the administration of an agent capable of inhibiting the action of Interleukin 11 (IL-11) is disclosed.

Abstract: Computer systems and associated methods are disclosed to implement the non-interactive join of privacy-preserving dataset sketches. In some embodiments, an entity can publish a one-time sketch of their dataset that would enable another entity to join their data without exposing private information. The sketch can map, using a hash function, the identities associated with a first value of the dataset to a data structure, in some embodiments. A same or different entity can join the first sketch with a privacy-preserving second sketch of a second dataset that includes added noise, and can determine an estimate of a number of identities that correspond with specific values of the first and second datasets from the joined dataset. The sketch can be published just one time, and therefore does not require separate new private computations with privacy budgeting for each additional party when a join is desired, in some embodiments.

Abstract: Methods of treating and preventing metabolic disease through inhibiting interleukin 11 (IL-11)-mediated signalling are disclosed, as well as agents for use in such methods.

Abstract: Methods of treating and preventing Alport syndrome through inhibiting interleukin 11 (EL-11)-mediated signalling are disclosed, as well as agents for use in such methods.

Abstract: A method is provided for ensuring the integrity of a stairlift installation constructed from re-used components. Data representative of the form of a stairlift rail is stored in a control facility included in the stairlift carriage and then compared with data sensed in real time. A stairlift carriage may be disabled in the event sensed data varies from stored data.

Abstract: The disclosure defined by this invention relates to an electronic control facility for a stairlift. The control facility includes an installation mode in which a number of steps to be undertaken at the time of installation of the stairlift are defined. The control facility also includes a user mode in which the operation of the stairlift is controlled by a user. According to the invention, the control facility is configured so that the user mode cannot be entered until all steps in the installation mode have been completed.

Abstract: Methods of treating and preventing kidney injury through inhibiting interleukin 11 (IL-11)-mediated signalling are disclosed, as well as agents for use in such methods.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing device for monitoring network activity associated with streaming a data load through a stream application including a plurality of stream operators deployed on a plurality of computing devices. One or more stream operators with one or more external connections may be identified from the plurality of stream operators. The identified one or more stream operators may be deployed based upon, at least in part, the one or more external connections.

Abstract: Queries are monitored in a database which receives input from a stream computing application to identify data of interest. Parameters defining the data of interest, which are preferably expressed as a logical query, are sent to the stream computing application, which then processes the in-flight streamed data satisfying the parameters in some special manner. In some embodiments, the stream computing application increases the processing priority of in-flight data satisfying the parameters. In some embodiments, the stream computing application applies additional processing steps to the in-flight data satisfying the parameters to provide enhanced data or metadata.

Abstract: A connection can be made to a processing element of a remotely deployed and live streaming application executed by a first data processing system, the processing element containing at least one operator that processes at least one tuple. As the live streaming application is executed, without slowing or modifying data flow of the live streaming application execution to client devices, a copy of the tuple and a memory dump of state data for a state of the operator can be received, and the tuple can be tracked through a call graph. The state data can be loaded into a local instance of the operator loaded into a debugger. At least a portion of the call graph can be presented to a user, and a flow of the tuple through the call graph based on the state data for the operator can be indicated.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for identifying, in a dynamically formed cloud, a plurality of voluntary compute nodes, wherein the plurality of voluntary compute nodes may include personal computing devices of a plurality of users, and wherein at least a portion of the plurality of voluntary compute nodes may be configured to communicate with each other to receive and send streaming data. A first compute node of at least the portion of the plurality of voluntary compute nodes may be identified to receive and distribute a streams operator of a streams graph requested by a client computing device. A second compute node of at least the portion of the plurality of voluntary compute nodes may be identified for verifying computational correctness of a tuple stream computation for the stream operator by replicating the tuple stream computations for the stream operator on the second compute node. A final result tuples of the graph may be sent to the client computing device.
