Abstract: This invention relates to compositions and methods for treating or diagnosing cancer.

Abstract: In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, a web portal layout manager system and method are provided. In particular embodiments of the present invention, the method includes receiving at a layout manager an indication selecting one of multiple predetermined layout types, receiving at the layout manager a set of portlets, receiving at the layout manager formatting properties for the portlets of the selected layout type, calling an executable component associated with the selected layout type to produce a code fragment specifying at least a portion of a web portal containing the set of portlets having the selected layout type and formatting properties, receiving an indication of content to populate the portlets of the web portal specified by the code fragment, and rendering the at least a portion of the web portal specified by the code fragment containing the indicated content.

Abstract: A turbine nozzle includes a mid vane mounted between a pair of end vanes in outer and inner bands. The mid vane includes a first pattern of film cooling holes configured to discharge more cooling air than each of the two end vanes having respective second patterns of film cooling holes.

Abstract: A method for assembling a gas turbine engine includes coupling a rotor assembly including a plurality of rotor blades about a rotatable main shaft of the gas turbine engine. The main shaft is aligned in an axial direction of the gas turbine engine. A shroud assembly is coupled to the gas turbine engine. The shroud assembly includes a plurality of shroud segments circumferentially coupled about the rotor assembly such that a shroud spacing gap is formed in the axial direction between adjacent shroud segments. A cooling fluid source is coupled to each shroud segment such that cooling fluid is channeled through each shroud segment into a corresponding shroud spacing gap to facilitate positive purge flow through the shroud spacing gap.

Abstract: A turbine wall includes opposite back and front sides. Film cooling holes are inclined longitudinally through the wall. Adjacent holes are spaced laterally apart and are inclined oppositely for channeling cooling air therethrough in counterflow.
