Abstract: A method includes receiving measured activity from a first assay, the first assay comprising wells containing compounds and first controls. The measured activity may be indicative of activation or inhibition by the compounds on a process. The method includes determining an estimate of activity percentages of the compounds. The estimate of the activity percentages of the compounds may be based on a noise distribution, and the noise distribution may be based on the first controls. The method includes receiving a first reference based on a required activity percentage of compounds for the first assay. The method includes receiving a second reference based on a required accuracy percentage of the compounds identified as active according to the first reference. The method includes identifying active compounds of the first assay based on the first reference, the second reference, the measured activity, and the estimate of activity percentages.

Abstract: An insulating concrete form system for the construction of insulated concrete walls, floors or roofs, the system comprising: at least one first panel; at least one second panel configured to be placed opposite to the at least one first panel, and a plurality of spacers configured to interconnect the at least one first panel and the at least one second panel while defining a space between the at least one first panel and the at least one second panel. A method for constructing a concrete wall, floor or roof, as well as additional embodiments of the system and method, are provided herein.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to automated execution and evaluation of computer network training exercises, such as in a virtual machine environment. An example environment includes a control and monitoring system, an attack system, and a target system. The control and monitoring system initiates a training scenario to cause the attack system to engage in an attack against the target system. The target system then performs an action in response to the attack. Monitor information associated with the attack against the target system is collected by continuously monitoring the training scenario. The attack system is then capable of sending dynamic response data to the target system, wherein the dynamic response data is generated according to the collected monitor information to adapt the training scenario to the action performed by the target system. The control and monitoring system then generates an automated evaluation based upon the collected monitor information.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing security to a protected network. Techniques are described for thwarting attempted network attacks using marked information. The attack correlation system provides marked information to computing devices that probe for sensitive information, and monitors subsequent communications for use of the marked information. In one example, the attack correlation system reroutes communications containing the marked information to a dedicated vulnerable device that logs the communications to monitor the attackers' methods. The attack correlation system may also include functionality to exchange information regarding attempted attacks with other attack correlation systems to gain broader knowledge of attacks throughout one or more networks.
