Abstract: A method for controlling congestion in intermittently-connected and lossy computer networks comprising: determining, at a local network node, a payoff score for each of a plurality of active flows of network traffic, wherein each active flow consists of a stream of in-transit packets at the local network node that come from a common source and share a common destination, wherein each active flow's payoff score is based on a pricing model that considers both a sojourn time and a position in a queue of each of an active flow's constituent packets; allocating unused buffer space across all active flows in the local network node based on relative traffic loads with a buffer-space allocation (BSA) agent; and controlling a rate at which packets from all active flows are received at the local network node with a hop-by-hop local-flow-control (LFC) agent according to each flow's payoff score.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for and relates to novel fusion proteins and polypeptides expressed by breast cancer and other cancer cells, and to compositions, materials and methods for detecting, characterizing and treating said breast and other cancers. In one embodiment, the fusion polypeptides are read-through fusion transcripts.

Abstract: A method for constructing a dictionary to represent data from a training data set comprising: modeling the data as a linear combination of columns; modeling outliers in the data set via deterministic outlier vectors; formatting the training data set in matrix form for processing; defining an underlying structure in the data set; quantifying a similarity across the data; building a Laplacian matrix; using group-Lasso regularizers to succinctly represent the data; choosing scalar parameters for controlling the number of dictionary columns used to represent the data and the number of elements of the training data set identified as outliers; using BCD and PG methods on the vector-matrix-formatted data set to estimate a dictionary, corresponding expansion coefficients, and the outlier vectors; and using a length of the outlier vectors to identify outliers in the data.

Abstract: A bracelet responsive to being hydrated may include a top surface and a bottom surface, an inner surface defining a central aperture extending between the top surface and the bottom surface, an outer surface being in a spaced relationship with the inner surface and extending between the top surface on the bottom surface, and a hydrochromic layer formed on an exposed surface of the bracelet, the layer having a first appearance that changes to a second appearance responsive to the hydration of the bracelet. The exposed surface may be on the top surface, and the exposed surface may be on the bottom surface. The exposed surface may be on the outer surface, and the change of the first appearance to the second appearance may be permanent. The change from the first appearance to the second appearance may be nonpermanent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for treating cancer which comprises; administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of at least two compounds selected from antihistamic agent, antiallergic agent and steroid, and then administering to the patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a humanized antibody or a human antibody which specifically binds to ganglioside GD3 or the antibody fragment thereof.
