Abstract: Early diagnosis of lethal radiation is imperative, since the intervention time windows for lethally irradiated subjects are considerably short. Hence, ideal diagnostic candidates of radiation should be easily accessible, enable to inform the stress history and triage subjects unbiasedly in a time-efficient manner. Taken together, small molecules such as metabolites and microRNAs (miRNAs) from plasma are legitimate biomarker candidate for lethal radiation. Herein is described a TBI (total body irradiation) model involving minipigs exposed to radiation. Markers were observed at early, intermediate and late time periods post-radiation, and were compared to non-exposed, non-radiated miRNA's. A method and a kit for detecting time-dependent ionizing radiation exposure is described in embodiments herein.

Abstract: A system and method for management of automobile recalls functions through a unified recall campaign user interface (UI) web-accessible to an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The system utilizes both first-party (OEM) data and state registration data to identify vehicle owners by vehicle identification number (VIN). Enhancement data is used to provide contact information, whereby vehicle owners may be contacted concerning a recall repair through multiple channels. The system utilizes feedback during a recall and from previous recalls, as well as segmentation of vehicle owners by behavioral and attitudinal parameters, to optimize the channel(s) and message(s) used in order to maximize recall response. The system further utilizes various feeds of information concerning the recall to optimize recall repair parts distribution among dealers and dealer workforce utilization.
