Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for cross-channel network security with tiered adaptive mitigation operations. In this regard, the invention is structured for dynamic detection of security events associated with network devices and resources, and triggering real-time mitigation operations across a plurality of resource channels. The invention provides a novel method for employing activity data to construct and implement mitigation actions for de-escalating authorization tiers that are adapted to the specific attributes of the activity data, in order to prevent security exposure associated with the activity. Another aspect of the invention is directed to determining whether to continue the tiered adaptive mitigation actions and/or trigger a security proceed signal.

Abstract: A control system for controlling extraction of landfill gas from a landfill via a gas extraction system comprising well piping, the landfill gas having a first temperature when extracted, the control system comprising: a gas composition chamber coupled to the well piping and comprising at least one sensor configured to measure one or more characteristics of a landfill gas sample in the gas composition chamber; a temperature control mechanism configured to heat the landfill gas sample in the gas composition chamber to a second temperature at least a threshold amount greater than the first temperature; and a controller configured to control the at least one sensor to measure the one or more characteristics of the landfill gas sample in the gas composition chamber when a temperature of the landfill gas sample in the gas composition chamber is at least the threshold amount greater than the first temperature.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a data processing method providing an improvement in computer efficiency in transmitting data poll messages to another computer, the method comprising: using a first computer, transmitting a first plurality of data poll messages to a second computer, receiving event data from the second computer, and storing the event data in event history storage; based upon the event data in the event history storage, calculating a first estimate of a probability of a particular event occurring in a first specified time period; in response to determining that the first estimate is greater than 0, calculating a total number of times to check for the same particular event in the same specified time period; based upon the event data in the event history storage, calculating a second estimate of a probability distribution of the same particular event during the same specified time period; creating and storing a schedule of a plurality of times at which to transmit a second plurality of data poll messages to th

Abstract: Described herein are novel methods for treating subjects with a cancer which is not overexpressing at least one of BCL-xL, BCL-w, and BAD, and optionally further overexpressing BCL-2. Also provided herein are tools for determining and/or assessing, and for the administration of, cancer treatments involving BET bromodomain inhibitors, BCL-xL inhibitors, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: A method and system for environmental control and supplementary power generation in conventional and hybrid vehicle applications is presented. A thermoelectric heat pump function regulates vehicular interior temperature environments and uses the waste heat from a vehicles engine to power thermocouples and generate supplemental electrical current to power electrical devices. Thermocouples are used to gauge changes in temperature. The Peltier Effect is used to provide both primary cabin environmental control and supplementary power generation for motorized vehicle applications. Thermoelectric generators can be used for both primary internal climate control and supplementary power generation in the vehicular environment.

Abstract: A process for making alkylene carbonate by the reaction of carbon dioxide and an alkylene oxide of the formula ##STR1## wherein R, R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are one or more of hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl, allyloxy, chloroalkyl, and aryloxy to produce the corresponding carbonate, which comprises:(a) providing a homogeneous liquid phase reaction zone in which the predominant material therein is the alkylene carbonate;(b) providing a catalytic amount of an alkylene oxide carbonation catalyst to said liquid phase;(c) having dissolved in said liquid phase sufficient CO.sub.2 to provide a molal amount therein which exceeds the molal amount of the catalyst;(d) providing a CO.sub.2 pressure in the reaction zone of between about 150 psig and about 750 psig;(e) maintaining a sufficient amount of the alkylene oxide in the reaction to maintain the pressure and temperature thereof;(f) maintaining the reaction zone at a temperature at which the alkylene oxide and CO.sub.
