Abstract: System and method for generating and displaying data pipelines according to certain embodiments. For example, a method includes: receiving a natural language (NL) query; receiving a model result generated based on the NL query, the model result including a query in a standard query language, the model result being generated using one or more computing models; and generating the data pipeline based at least in part on the query in the standard query language, the data pipeline comprising one or more data pipeline elements, at least one data pipeline element of the one or more pipeline elements being corresponding to a query component of the query in the standard query language.

Abstract: An ergonomic keyboard is described. In one aspect, a keyboard layout for a subject language is developed by determining a percent of frequency of monograph characters and digraphs of characters used in writing in the subject language. Thereafter, each key for the characters from each most frequent digraph is positioned under different hands on the keyboard layout, on a middle row of the keyboard layout, and under the index or middle fingers of a keyboard user. Other most frequent characters are positioned in the middle row of the keyboard layout or in a position on the keyboard layout to be struck using the index or middle fingers. The least frequent monograph characters are positioned in the bottom and top rows of the keyboard, with the least frequent characters under pinky fingers of a keyboard user. An optimized Arabic keyboard layout is also disclosed.

Abstract: The composition for management of periodontal diseases includes a gel matrix having a polymer system and a plurality of microspheres dispersed in the polymer system. The polymer system contains about one-half a dose of medicament, while the microspheres contain the remainder. Upon administration of the composition into the periodontal cavity, the medicament in the polymer system provides an initial therapeutic benefit, while the remainder of the medication is released over time via degradation of the microspheres. This biphasic pattern of medicament delivery provides increased efficacy of the medicament through sustained delivery of the same.

Abstract: Provided herein are the biomarkers for predicting or monitoring the efficacy of a treatment for multiple myeloma. The use of certain M-protein or other protein levels as biomarkers to predict whether a multiple myeloma treatment is likely to be successful is also provided. Further, the analysis of these biomarkers can be used to monitor progress of treatment effectiveness and patient compliance in multiple myeloma patients who are receiving treatment.
