Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method of initiating and/or routing communications within a system comprised of a plurality of disparate sub-systems is provided. The method includes collecting information from one or more sub-systems regarding participants in the integrated system, wherein collected information includes one or more of schedule, status, and contact information, wherein the collected information is stored in a central directory. A communication initiated by one of the sub-systems is received, and an event is identified within the received communication. A workflow plan is initiated based on the identified event, wherein the workflow plan utilizes collected information to generate workflow-driven communications to one or more participants. The workflow-driven communications is then delivered to the one or more participants.

Abstract: The present invention provides isolated and recombinant avian nucleic acid molecules comprising at least one avian MAR and an avian nucleic acid sequence encoding an ovalbumin transcriptional regulatory region. The isolated nucleic acid of the present invention is useful for reducing chromosomal positional effects upon the transcription of a transgene operably linked to the ovalbumin transcriptional regulatory region and transfected into a recipient avian cell The recombinant nucleic acid molecules of the present invention may further comprise a polyadenylation signal sequence or an avian 3? domain, and optionally, an internal ribosome entry site for expression of an operably linked heterologous nucleic acid insert in a transfected avian cell.

Abstract: The invention includes delivering to an avian a nucleic acid molecule which includes nucleotide sequence of an ovalbumin gene expression controlling region and a heterologous coding sequence operably linked to the gene expression controlling region wherein the heterologous coding sequence is expressed in a cell of the avian.
