Abstract: This document relates to methods and materials for virotherapy. For example, this document provides methods and materials for treating cancer using a recombinant mumps virus as an oncolytic agent.

Abstract: A display case can include panels, and frame members (e.g., corner extrusions) that secure the panels. In some examples, the frame members can magnetically secure the panels together in an assembled configuration of the display case. In some examples, the frame members can cooperate to provide improved mounting and demounting processes.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to verifying a third-party resource by automatically validating multi-factor message codes associated with the third-party resource to enable access to functionality associated with the third-party resource via a multi-app communication system. An example embodiment includes a multi-app communication system including at least one processor and at least one memory. The embodiment multi-app communication system is configured to receive a sign-in request from a multi-app communication system application executed on a client device, and cause transmission of a multi-factor confirmation message to a verified third-party multi-factor authentication resource. The embodiment multi-app communication system is further configured query the verified third-party multi-factor authentication resource to identify the multi-factor confirmation message, and enable access to the third-party resource.

Abstract: A social networking system identifies a user's relative preference for objects maintained by the social networking system, such as pages associated with movies, restaurants, businesses, or other content. To obtain the user's preferences, the system provides pairs, or groups, of objects to a user and prompts the user to indicate a preference between the objects in each pair. This obtained information about the user's relative preferences is stored in conjunction with the user's profile, which can then be used to select content subsequently presented to the user.
