Abstract: The invention provides a modified T cell, or an isolated population of immune cells expressing a CXCR3 isoform selected from CXCR3A, CXCR3B, and CXCR3alt, and optionally, further expressing transgenes comprising an artificial T cell receptor, and/or a CXCR3 ligand, for use as a medicament. The invention also provides the methods to obtain said cells, or populations of cells from a plurality of immune cells derived from a human subject. The invention also relates to assessment of CXCR3 splice variants and its ligands CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11 in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients, to enable patients to be stratified for their predicted response to a chemotherapy drug treatment, or clinical outcome.

Abstract: Systems and processes for managing service orders for service bundles are provided herein. An account assignment object may be created in a service order database corresponding to a main item and a plurality of subitems may be linked to the account assignment object, the main item representing the service bundle and the plurality of subitems offered collectively as the service bundle. The main item and subitems may be part of a hierarchy structure in which the main item is at a higher level than the subitems. A value of the main item may be set corresponding to a price of the service bundle. Follow-up processing may be automatically performed and a billing document may be generated for the service order using the account assignment object. Entries for each of the main item and the plurality of subitems for the order may be displayed in a hierarchical line item view.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-executable instructions for parallel searching in program synthesis. A task to synthesize in a domain specific language (DSL) is received. The task is synthesized. Synthesizing the task includes generating sub-goals based on the task. The synthesized task includes a subset of the sub-goals. An estimated completion time for each of the sub-goals is expressed using the DSL is determined. The sub-goals are scheduled based on the estimated completion time. Some of the sub-goals are scheduled to be executed in parallel. The sub-goals are solved based on the scheduling to synthesize the task in the DSL. An elapsed real time to complete the synthesizing the task is reduced compared to scheduling the sub-goals in an order based on sub-goal generation.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, updated repository instances are typically developed on a development system, transferred to a testing system, and after testing, transferred to a production system. Such an updated instance may comprise content, sources and a data dictionary. As an updated instance is moved from one system to another, the change is applied to an original instance. A shadow copy of content is kept for the original instance. In another example embodiment, a shadow copy of content is created as part of the change process. The sources and data dictionary may have their own versioning mechanism. To undo the applied change, the sources and data dictionary are rolled back to their pre-change state. The content is retrieved from the shadow copy and restored to the original instance. Finally, stranded data is restored according to appropriate policies.

Abstract: A combined cycle power plant (10) has a gas turbine (11), a heat recovery steam generator (16) which is connected downstream to the gas turbine (11) and delivers steam to a steam turbine (19), an exhaust gas recycling line (28) which returns some of the exhaust gases, which flow from the exhaust of the gas turbine (11) through the heat recovery steam generator (16), to the inlet of the gas turbine (11), and also a CO2 separating plant (25) which separates from the non-returned part of the exhaust gases the CO2 which is contained therein and delivers it to a CO2 outlet. A reduction of the equipment cost or a flexible adaptation of the operation can be achieved by a supplementary firing (17) being associated with the heat recovery steam generator (16), which by combusting a carbonaceous fuel produces additional exhaust gases with CO2 content and transmits them through the heat recovery steam generator (16).

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and system for automatically collecting data relating to a computer system and automatically analyzing the collected data. The data collected may be historical data, collected over an extended period of time such as a day, week or month. The data may be collected locally, and then automatically sent via a network to a remote site, where the analysis of the data is automatically performed by a support provider. A report based on the analysis may be automatically generated and stored electronically at a site accessible, via the network, to an interested party, such as a system user and/or intermediate support provider. The report may include recommendations for modifications to hardware and/or software of the computer system, based on the analysis. The report may enable a system user to prevent rather than react to problems, and to maintain a more efficient computer system.

In operation of the flow machine, the individual booster stages are operated, singly or in combination, in dependence on the specific operating conditions. The flow machine and the associated operating process make possible an economical mode of operation of the flow machine.
