Abstract: A nursing garment has a rear portion and a front portion, the front portion including an inner layer having a first opening located proximal to the nipple of one of the wearer's breasts. An outer layer superimposed on the inner layer has a second opening, the first and second openings being alignable with each other to allow the nipple to be exposed. A first curtain member disposed between the inner and outer layers is accessible through the second opening and is moveable between a concealing position and a revealing position. When in the concealing position, the first curtain member shrouds the first opening and obstructs access thereto via the second opening. When in the revealing position, the first curtain member is drawn out of the way of the first and second openings, allowing communication between the first and second openings and permitting the nipple to be exposed for nursing.

Abstract: A method of forming diffusion barrier layer includes providing an interconnect for a fuel cell stack, forming a glass barrier precursor layer over a Mn and/or Co containing electrically conductive contact layer on the interconnect, and heating the barrier precursor layer to precipitate crystals in the barrier precursor layer to convert the barrier precursor layer to a glass ceramic barrier layer.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program for performing a plurality of operation steps of a dialysis process is disclosed. In one embodiment, a process controller controls the apparatus to perform the operation steps, monitor the dialysis process and monitor sensor inputs of sensors of the apparatus. The apparatus further includes a user interface (“UI”), comprising a display, an input device and a UI controller, wherein the UI controller enables presentation of graphical data on the display, enables user interaction with the graphical data and exchanges information with the process controller. Each of the operation steps is classified as a sequential operation step or a non-sequential operation step. The UI controller, for each of the operation steps, dynamically controls enabling and disabling of interaction with displayed corresponding operation step items based on a state of the respective operation step (i.e., completed, non-completed, selectable, non-selectable).

The invention also provides expression vectors, host cells, antibodies, agonists, and antagonists. The invention also provides methods for diagnosing, treating, or preventing disorders associated with aberrant expression of SECP.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the production of S. lycopersicum plants having an average sympodial index of 2 and producing red-colored fruits comprising crossing a plant of S. lycopersicum capable of producing red-colored fruits, with a plant of a Solanum spp. having an average sympodial index of 2, collecting the seeds resulting from the cross, regenerating the seeds into plants, providing one or more backcross generations, selfing the backross plants, growing the selfed seed into plants, and identifying and selecting plants having an average sympodial index of 2 and producing red-colored fruits.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are provided for generating a metric based on current information and future needs. Historical payroll metrics are determined for a job title, and future payroll metrics are estimated for the job title. Forecasted workforce metrics are estimated for the job title, and preferred workforce metrics are determined for a specified period of time for the job title. It is determined whether a low-point is expected within the specified period. The forecasted workforce metrics and the preferred workforce metrics are compared to estimate an employee-hour deficit in the workforce. A hiring recommendation is generated based on the employee-hour deficit and open requisitions, and an employee status is assigned to the recommendation based on the low-point.

Abstract: A method of identifying a subject having chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who is likely to be responsive to a treatment compound, comprising obtaining a first sample and a second sample from the subject having CLL; administering 3-(5-amino-2-methyl-4-oxo-4H-quinazolin-3-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione (Compound A) to the first sample and administering lenalidomide to the second sample; determining the level of a biomarker in the first sample and determining the level of the biomarker in the second sample; and diagnosing the subject as being likely to be responsive to the treatment compound if the level of the biomarker in the first sample is different from the level of the biomarker in the second sample.
