Abstract: A method of implementing administrative services for managing group feedback is disclosed. A selection of a feedback visibility setting for a feedback message from a plurality of predefined feedback visibility settings is received via a give feedback tab of a user interface. The feedback message and a selection of one or more recipients are received via the give feedback tab. The feedback message is sent to the selected one or more recipients based on the selected feedback visibility setting. A request for feedback and a selection of one or more feedback providers are received via a request feedback tab of the user interface. The request for feedback is sent to the selected one or more feedback providers. Received feedback responses linked to a user profile of the feedback requestor are stored.

Abstract: A method of implementing administrative services for managing status updates is disclosed. A status update configuration window is provided on a graphical user interface. The status update configuration window comprises a plurality of update settings for configuring recurring status updates. A selection of update settings is received in the status update configuration window comprising an update frequency, a set of update questions, and a schedule for update reminders. The selected update settings are stored as an update template. An update summary window is displayed concurrently with the status update configuration window. The update summary window comprises a limited list of one or more selectable update management functions. A selection of an update management function is received from the update summary window.

Abstract: A method of improving an employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) for an entity is disclosed. Based on an enablement of an eNPS feature in an administrative user interface, an eNPS survey question is added to one or more question banks associated with one or more surveys. Anonymous answers to the eNPS survey question are collected from a plurality of employees of an entity. An eNPS score for the entity is calculated. The calculating of the eNPS score includes subtracting a percentage of detractors from a percentage of promoters. Based on the eNPS score, one or more suggested actions are generated for improving the eNPS score for the entity. User interface elements pertaining to the one or more suggested actions are caused to be surfaced in the administrative user interface to allow one or more users to signal one or more intentions to implement the one or more suggested actions.

Abstract: A method of remediating an environment contaminated with carbon tetrachloride by introducing Pseudomonas strain sp. KC (PsKC) into the environment under iron limiting conditions and converting the carbon tetrachloride directly to carbon dioxide and a non-volatile water soluble fraction. Further, conditions providing a niche advantage for PsKC in accordance with the invention allow for the use of PsKC as a vector in various other environmental conditions for introducing specific activities of the PsKC, whether naturally occurring or genetically altered, into those environments.

Abstract: The present invention relates to new 14-aminosteroids, pharmaceutical compositions containing the new compounds and methods of treatment for humans or other mammals afflicted with congestive heart failure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to oligosaccharide-containing 14-aminosteroid compounds and the pharmaceutically-acceptable acid salts or esters thereof of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein a) R.sub.1 is(i) COOR.sub.5, whereR.sub.5 is hydrogen, a 1-6 carbon lower alkyl; a 1-6 carbon lower alkyl substituted by an amino group; an arylalkyl or heteroarylalkyl or a carbocyclic ring, or(ii) CHR.sub.6 OH, whereR.sub.6 is a hydrogen atom or 1-6 carbon lower alkyl group, or(iii) COR'", where R'" is hydrogen; 1-6 carbon lower alkyl; 1-6 carbon lower alkyl substituted amino; amino or dialkylamino; andb) R.sub.2 is --NR.sub.7 R.sub.8, whereR.sub.7 and R.sub.8, which may be the same or different, are hydrogen atoms or a 1-6 carbon lower alkyl; andc) R.sub.3 is an oligosaccharide sugar residue; andd) R.sub.4 is(i) OH, or(ii) H, or(iii) OR.sub.13, whereR.sub.13 is a monosaccharide sugar residue; acetoxy; benzoxy; arylalkyl or heteroarylalkyl; ande) Z is(i) --CH--, wherea and b are single bonds, or(ii) .dbd.
