Abstract: A method and/or system that can be implemented on a computing device or tables or board game or otherwise uses a rule set to evaluate data about a situation and actors in order to provide advice regarding strategies for influencing actors and/or other outputs.

Abstract: This document relates to methods and materials for treating a mammal having an autoimmune disease. For example, materials and methods for producing a T cell comprising a FOXP3 polypeptide and a microRNA are provided herein. Also provided are methods of treating an autoimmune disease that include administering these T cells.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for treating for treating congenital adrenal hyperplasia or primary aldosteronism in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of 2S,4R ketoconazole enantiomer substantially free of the 2R,4S ketoconazole enantiomer to said subject. Also disclosed are compositions comprising a therapeutically effective amount of 2S,4R ketoconazole enantiomer substantially free of the 2R,4S ketoconazole enantiomer for use in treating a disease or condition associated with congenital adrenal hyperplasia or primary aldosteronism.

Abstract: A battery for a power distribution system includes a cell assembly having a positive terminal and a negative terminal that together provide a relative battery DC voltage. A neutral tap is electrically connected to the cell assembly between the positive and negative terminals, splitting the voltage into positive and negative voltages. The positive terminal is at a positive DC voltage greater than the neutral tap. The negative voltage is at a negative DC voltage less than the neutral tap. The relative battery DC voltage is greater than each of the relative voltages between the neutral tap and each of the positive and negative DC voltages.

Abstract: A number of innovations in the field of networking are disclosed. These techniques use multiple address translation to achieve effective deceptions, emulations, extended private networks and related goals. A further embodiment using a deception network having a number of different actual computer systems each performing emulation where deceived datagrams are routed to an actual machine that is particularly able to perform the desired emulation. The invention allows the emulation to receive a datagram just at it would appear at an external access point, operate on that datagram and return a datagram which is then passed through a deception wall using multiple address translations.

Abstract: A method and/or system and/or apparatus providing deception and/or execution alteration in an information system. In specific embodiments, deceptions and/or protections are provided by intercepting and/or modifying operation of one or more system calls of an operating system.

Abstract: This invention relates compositions and methods for increasing the uptake of polynucleotides into cells. Specifically, the invention relates to vectors, targeting ligands, and polycationic agents. The polycationic agents are capable of (1) increasing the frequency of uptake of polynucleotides into a cell, (2) condensing polynucleotides; and (3) inhibiting serum and/or nuclease degradation of polynucleotides.

Abstract: A stem cell library is created by genetically modifying stem cells with nucleic acids encoding polypeptides which can promote stem cell differentiation into specific cell types. Alternatively, the stem cell library is exposed to an externally added factor that promotes stem cell differentiation into a desired cell line, e.g., neuronal or muscle. The library is used to determine the effect of the encoded protein on the differentiation process. The library is also used to produce nucleic acids for insertion into embryonic stem cells to produce transfected embryonic stem cells. The nucleic acids are inserted into a locus that permits widespread expression of the encoded polypeptide in animals produced from blastocysts that incorporate the transfected cells. Non-human chimeric animals produced by combining blastocysts derived from animal models of human disease and embryonic stem cells transfected with molecules from the library provide an in vivo system for therapeutic design.

Abstract: The present invention relates to thio semicarbazone and semicarbazone inhibitors of cysteine proteases and methods of using such compounds to prevent and treat protozoan infections such as trypanosomiasis, malaria and leishmaniasis. The compounds also find use in inhibiting cysteine proteases associated with carcinogenesis, including cathepsins B and L.
