Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for assessing performance of a player of a game. An embodiment operates by monitoring for an input from the player of the game, receiving the input from the player of the game, and determining a characteristic of the game resulting from the input from the player. Based on the input from the player, a performance of the player is assessed. The performance of the player relating to one or more metrics of the game is monitored, and is assessed by comparing the input from the player during the period of time to an optimal input during the period of time in the game.

Abstract: An illustrative example embodiment of a system for registering a user includes at least one computing device that is configured to determine that a user response to a prompt was received from a remote user device. The user response indicates at least two identifiers of the user. The computing device initiates a user account for the user. The computing device determines whether a database includes additional identifiers of the user and associates information with the user account. The information is required for the user account and is based on the two identifiers and any additional identifiers of the user from the database. The computing device causes a request to be sent to the remote user device requesting the user to acknowledge accuracy of the information associated with the user account and to complete creation of the user account.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for predicting time-to-delivery in pregnant women. The methods include predicting that a pregnant woman will deliver within a predetermined time frame if PAMG-1 is determined to be present at a level above a predetermined detection threshold in a vaginal fluid sample obtained from the pregnant woman. Also provided are methods for determining a patient's risk of preterm labor and/or spontaneous rupture of the chorioamniotic membrane.

Abstract: BAYSIC (BAYesian System for Integrated Combination) combines sets of genomic and other biological data features to optimize selected data feature attributes, for example, detecting genome variants including single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and small insertion/deletions in genomes. The present disclosure presents one possible embodiment employing BAYSIC to combine single nucleotide variants detected by several distinct variant calling methods into an integrated SNV call set that is more accurate than any single SNV calling method or any ad hoc method of combining call sets. BAYSIC is a, tested and validated method using unsupervised machine learning, employing Bayesian latent class inference to combine variant sets produced by different packages.

Abstract: An illumination system for a vehicle includes an illumination device securable to the vehicle and configured to provide illumination of the exterior of the vehicle and a surrounding environment in response to a signal; at least one lighting array in communication with the illumination device configured to illuminate the exterior of the vehicle and the surrounding environment based on the signal received by the illumination device; and a lift system coupled to the illumination device and configured to enable vertical, lateral, and rotational movement of the illumination device relative to the vehicle.

Abstract: An optimization and management system using a global linearization approach and mixed integer linear programming to perform the dispatch and to schedule a river system for ten days forward while subject to real world, hourly physical, biological, environmental, and recreational constraints. The optimizer system uses a combination of slack variables and stitching methods to approximate a highly nonlinear optimization problem, thereby generating realtime generation schedules to promote to the management authority.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for providing insurance pricing. The method includes acquiring data associated with a vehicle, a roadway, an environment, acquiring data regarding the driver, encrypting the data, transmitting the data, and determining a risk based on the data associated with the vehicle, the roadway, the environment and the driver, and determining an insurance premium price based on the risk, wherein the insurance premium price is in units of price per unit time or price per unit distance.
