Abstract: The present relates to VEGF traps and VEGF mini-traps that include VEGF receptor Ig-like domains, fused to a multimerizing component, which bind to VEGF and block its interaction with the VEGF receptor. Such molecules are useful for treating angiogenic eye disorders (e.g., age-related macular degeneration), cancer and for other undesired angiogenesis.

Abstract: An inline DC feeder DC/DC voltage step-up harness for photovoltaic solar facilities includes a housing, a plurality of PV input connectors, an at least one PV output connector. The housing incorporates a DC/DC converter, and has an input and an output. The plurality of PV input connectors are operatively connected to the housing at the input. The PV output connector is operatively connected to the housing at the output.

Abstract: A software information analysis system that assesses the operational risks of using a particular set of software is provided. The system identifies one or more software entities used by one or more applications operating in an environment. The system collects information relevant to the identified one or more software entities. The system extracts opinions regarding the identified one or more software entities in the collected information. The system calculates an operational risk metric for the environment based on sentiments expressed in the extracted opinions. Each extracted opinion is weighted based on a personal identity associated with the extracted opinion.

Abstract: A novel computational QSAR approach that provides sub-molecular correlations that are specific to individual lobes of the pertinent molecular orbitals.
