Abstract: A computerized system and method of building a system of test components for an orderable healthcare procedure is provided. An orderable healthcare procedure is received and associated with a discrete ontology concept. An ontology is traversed for the discrete ontology concept to identify test components related to the discrete ontology concept. The test components related to the discrete ontology concept are identified.

Abstract: A method for removing mercury from a fluid stream includes the steps of providing a porous composite material comprising a substrate and a plurality of catalyst and/or photocatalyst particles, and contacting substrate with a fluid stream. The porous composite material adsorbs and/or then oxidizes or reduces metallic species including elemental mercury. A fossil fuel fired power plant can include an emission control device comprising the porous composite material to filter flue gas emissions into the environment.

Abstract: An electroless method of forming high aspect ratio metal particles includes the steps of mixing a metal or metal salt with at least one acid to form an acidified metal halide salt solution, and mixing the solution with a supersaturated sol to form a sol comprising solution. Metal cations provided by the acidified metal salt are reduced to form a plurality of high aspect ratio metal particles. Instead of using a sol, an organic compound can be oxidized to generate the reducing agent. A metal comprising particle assembly includes a plurality of high aspect ratio metal platelets having an aspect ratio of a major dimension averaging from 10 to 200 times a nanoscale minor dimension of the platelet. The platelets can be used for nail polish, eye liner or the cores for medical delivery vehicles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for automated correlation of genetic test results. The method includes: receiving a first genetic test result from an individual's genetic history and receiving a second genetic test result for the individual. The method further includes determining based on result criteria if the second genetic test result should be identified as the primary genetic test result for the individual and, if so, identifying said second genetic test result as the primary genetic test result in the individual's genetic history.
