Abstract: The embodiments described herein relate to a modeling system that defines index categories and uses model variables for analyzing successful or non-successful implementation. Data Driven Placemaking (DDP) provides evidence-based support to stakeholders (including designers, decision makers, policy makers, academics, and community members) for the purposes of improving designs for cities (and groupings of city regions and subsets of urban regions), via the collection, storage, transformation, analysis, and visualization of data relating to index categories and model variables.

Abstract: A computer-based educational systems, including apparatus and methods, for presenting information. The systems may include, among others, a content pane configured to present a presentation of a series of slides, and a progress control configured to adjust a user's progress through a currently displayed slide, a progress indicator configured to indicate a user's time-based viewing progress through a slide, a presentation, or a series of presentations, and/or a link to a text transcript of any associated voiceover narration.

Abstract: Disclosed is a nucleic acid composition consisting essentially of a first nucleic acid sequence encoding a chimeric CDKi protein and a second nudeic acid sequence encoding an adenovirus E4 protein, wherein the first and second nucleic acid sequences are operably linked to at least one regulatory sequence.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for inhibiting angiogenesis using cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKi) and fusion proteins thereof, recombinant viruses comprising transgenes and nucleic acid sequences encoding the same, and liposomes carrying the same as angiogenesis-inhibiting reagents.
