Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and processing modeling workflows are disclosed. In some examples, a reference distribution of scores generated by a model is determined. The reference distribution of scores is recorded in a structured database. One or more unexpected scores are detected during execution of the model. To detect the one or more unexpected scores, a production distribution of scores is compared with the reference distribution of scores recorded in the structured database. The production distribution of scores is generated by the model for a production input data set. An alert is then provided to an external system, when an alert condition is determined to be satisfied based on the comparison. The alert indicates detection of the one or more unexpected scores.

Abstract: A bag system for containing a nutritional composition includes a pouch for holding a nutritional composition front and rear panels which are welded to each other by a bottom weld and a top weld and two welds on each opposed side; and a port for filling and. dispensing for feeding at the top of the pouch with a cap/lid to be resealable. An 8 French tube or larger is connected at the port for delivering the composition without dilution and via enteral pump delivery, A nutritional composition has fatty acids; dietary fibers; carbohydrates; a vitamin and mineral blend; proteins; and a whole food blend. A nutritionally complete nutrient composition for enteral feeding comprises a whole food blend and additional nutrients. Preferably; the nutrient composition is provided in a squeezable serving pouch. The nutrient composition is free of major allergens.

Abstract: The invention provides novel methods to genotype haploid embryos using molecular assays. For example, quantitative methods for genotyping are provided. The methods provided also include providing a plurality of haploid kernels, determining the genotype of the haploid embryo of said kernels by distinguishing its genotype from the endosperm genotype, selecting a kernel having a desired genotype and producing doubled haploid plant from the selected kernel.

Abstract: A method and system for providing interoperability for Rich Communications Suite/Systems (RCS) messaging with RCS information sharing using plural channels. If a target network device includes RCS functionality then RCS sharing (i.e., sharing a RCS message with plural other target network devices) is done directly on a RCS channel (e.g., a primary channel) with other target network devices. If a target devices does not include RCS functionality, RCS functionality is provided via a secondary channel (e.g., a non-RCS channel, etc.) by an RCS interoperability application on a server network device to provide a RCS-emulated experience for RCS sharing for the other target network devices.

Abstract: A method and system for providing interoperability for Rich Communications Suite/Systems (RCS) messaging with local and remote applications. If a target network device cannot directly receive RCS messages, electronic messages are modified on an RCS message application to include different types of electronic links to remote or local RCS interoperability applications. The local or remote RCS interoperability applications independently provides seamless, rich multi-media RCS functionality to the target network device when the electronic link is activated in the modified electronic message. The local or remote RCS interoperability applications provide two-way RCS message communications between target network devices without RCS functionality and target network devices with RCS functionality.
