Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for adjusting readability of reading material to a target readability level are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method includes receiving reading material and a target readability level. First and second readability measures associated with the reading material can be determined. The method can also include determining a target value corresponding to at least one of the first or second readability measure. The target value determination can be based on the target readability level and the other of the first and second readability measures. A parameter or portion of the reading material can be identified that is associated with the first or second readability measure and that has an actual readability value with a predetermined relationship with the target value.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products relate to measuring the combined accuracy of a gas meter and a volume corrector as a system. The measurement is performed with a transfer prover, and may be performed automatically on either integrated or non-integrated volume correctors and meters. In one embodiment, a test interface provides a convenient connection with controllable data switches for routing information between the meter/volume corrector, the transfer prover, and a processing device. Software running on the processing device can automatically configure the parameters for performing a combined accuracy test by downloading parameters from the meter/corrector and transfer prover via the test interface. Upon user selection of the test type, and optionally flow rates, for running the test, the software may configure data switches on the test interface to automatically perform the selected combined accuracy test.

Abstract: The methods disclosed herein are of use for the treatment of a wide variety of diseases. In particular, the methods provide for the targeting of a transcription altering agent to a specific target site of a viral genome in order to inactivate the virus. In addition, the methods provide for a triplex-forming oligonucleotide capable of interacting with a target site in a viral genome in order to alter transcription. The methods of the present invention may be used against viral pathogens or agents of bioterrorism.
