Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the diagnosis and/or classification of a disease in a subject based on the genetic and/or epigenetic information of a sample obtained from the subject, the method comprising the steps of: a) providing data from said sample, wherein said data comprises genetic and/or epigenetic information of a random subset of genomic positions: b) assigning said sample to a sample class based on genetic and/or epigenetic information of said random subset of genomic positions by employing a computational model, which discriminates a plurality of sample classes based on genetic and/or epigenetic information of a set of genomic positions comprising said random subset, wherein the computational model has been trained with pre-determined genetic and/or epigenetic information obtained from a plurality of pre-classified samples of known diseases and wherein said computational model processes the genetic and/or epigenetic information of a genomic position of said random subset independen

Abstract: A method is provided for operating a fluid conveying device of a motor vehicle having at least one aerodynamic bearing. The method reduces the rotational speed of the aerodynamic bearing to a rest speed, wherein the rest speed is below a lifting speed, in which case the bearing builds up an air film for bearing free of mixed friction, and wherein the rest speed is above a lowering speed, in which case the bearing has reduced the air film such that mixed friction occurs. The fluid conveying device is operated at the rest speed.
