Abstract: Techniques are described by which a fabric designer system provides a user interface (UI) to enable a user to design a data center fabric. For example, a fabric designer system comprises processor(s) and a memory comprising instructions that when executed by the processor(s) cause the one or more processors to: generate data representative of a user interface (UI) for display on a display device, the data representative of the UI comprising UI elements representing one or more fabric design requirements receive, via the UI on the display device, an indication of a user input selecting one or more of the UI elements representing the one or more fabric design requirements; generate a model for a data center fabric based on the one or more fabric design requirements and a catalog of network devices; and generate UI elements representing fabric design specifications of the model for the data center fabric.

Abstract: A nanoparticle activity sensor containing a reporter and at least one tuning domain that modifies a distribution or residence time of the activity sensor when administered to a patient. When administered to the patient, the activity sensor enters cells or tissue where it is cleaved by enzymes specific to a physiological state such as a disease to release a detectable analyte. The tuning domains include molecular structures that modulate distribution or decay by protecting the particle from premature cleavage and indiscriminate hydrolysis, shielding the particle from immune detection and clearance, or by targeting the particle to specific tissue, bodily fluids, or cell types.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for screening or diagnosis of liver disease are provided. The results may also indicate course and efficacy of treatment. The composition includes an activity sensor and a reporter releasably attached to the activity sensor. The method includes detecting the presence and/or amount of a reporter. The reporter is released from an activity sensor in the presence of diseased liver tissue but remains attached to the activity sensor in healthy tissue. The presence and/or amount of the reporter are used to characterize the liver disease. The liver disease may be nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and results may further indicate staging of NASH.
