Abstract: A method for facilitating the evaluation of candidates in an evaluation process is provided. The method includes operations of receiving a set of evaluation data from a candidate evaluation system, the set of evaluation data including at least evaluation ratings data and evaluation recommendation data for a set of candidate. The method further includes providing a user interface to a decision maker to display a performance of each of a set of candidates in a two-dimensional graphic representation. The method further includes receiving a first weighting for a first subset of the evaluation data and updating the graphic representation to show a weighted performance of each of the candidates in the evaluation. The updating is based on the first weighting received from the decision maker.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to peptides, and nucleic acids encoding them, derived from the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). The peptides are those which elicit a CTL and/or HTL response in a host. The invention is also directed to compositions and vaccines for prevention and treatment of HCV infection and diagnostic methods for detection of HCV exposure in patients.

Abstract: A culturing fluid of defined bacterial consortia is placed within a cultivation apparatus to generate growths of either a bioconcretious or biocolloidal form within, or attached to surfaces exposed to, the culturing fluid. Such growths involve the interactive activities between all of the bacterial consortia to generate growths and economically attractive chemical daughter and end products within the fluid environment bounded by the cultivation apparatus. The cultivation apparatus allows the culturing fluid to flow along passageways that have alternating constricted and expanded zones in a manner that creates the growth of bioconcretious or biocolloidal structures within which the bacterial consortia interact to allow maintenance of these growth structures and stimulate the production of the desired chemical products of significance.

Abstract: The present invention provides polynucleotides and polypeptides capable of enhancing the immune response of a human in need of protection against influenza virus infection by administering in vivo, into a tissue of the human, at least one polynucleotide comprising one or more regions of nucleic acid encoding an influenza protein or a fragment, variant, or derivative thereof, or at least one polypeptide encoded therefrom. The present invention also relates to identifying and preparing influenza virus epitopes and to polynucleotides and polypeptides comprising such influenza virus epitopes. The present invention also relates to compositions and methods of use in the prevention and treatment of influenza virus infection.

Abstract: System and method for accumulating a historical component context. A request that includes a component context and an operation from a requester component is received. A contextual access policy that includes contextual access permissions to the request is applied. A contextual validation is checked that the request satisfies at least one of the contextual access permissions. The operation is performed upon the successful contextual validation of the request. The request is stored as historical component context.

Abstract: A user interface and method for composing services in a ubiquitous computing environment through direction and selection operators is presented. A display of a ubiquitous computing environment is presented. One or more hosts operating in the ubiquitous computing environment is represented with host symbols. Components in the ubiquitous computing environment coupled to each of the hosts are represented with one or more component symbols per host symbol. Each such component provides a service or includes a device or aggregate component. The host symbols and the component symbols are navigated in response to user inputs. A direction operator provides a focus in the display on either one of the host symbols or one of the component symbols. A selection operator performed against either one of the host symbols or one of the component symbols triggers a service- or device-oriented task comprising one of discovery, selection, connection, and control.

Abstract: An interview method and system that allows a hiring individual to use a networked computer system to interview candidates without requiring the hiring individual to participate personally during the interview by devoting time and resources to a meeting, the capability of conducting on-line interviews is provided using generic or customized interview questions, collecting unrehearsed answers, distributing the answers to evaluators, accumulating the evaluations and provides the reporting capability consistent with the objective of clear and consistent hiring practices. A real time interview can be conducted in that the interviewee answers questions in real time, while it provides for the later evaluation and review of this interview.

Abstract: A deep structure is received. A multistage, surface structure, generation process is used to determine one or more concepts, phrases, and words from the deep structure.
