Abstract: Static data that represents one or more static contributing factors to a dynamic threat-level index is received for a corresponding local region and live data that represents one or more dynamic contributing factors to the dynamic threat-level index for the corresponding local region is repeatedly received. An updated dynamic threat-level index for the corresponding local region is repeatedly determined based at least in part on a previously determined updated dynamic threat-level index for the corresponding local region, at least some of the received static data for the corresponding local region, and at least some of the received live data for the corresponding local region. A dashboard is displayed that dynamically shows the updated dynamic threat-level index for each of at least some of the plurality of local regions.

Abstract: The compositions and methods disclosed herein pertain to the manufacture and use of hydrogels. The disclosed compositions and methods pertain to hydrogels capable of induction by a variety of methodologies, such as by pH, salt and/or mixing. Such hydrogels are capable of self- or co-assembly and while doing so, may entrap a variety of bioactive agents in their native form, such as proteins, DNA, RNA and the like. The hydrogels of the present invention also demonstrate rapid sheer-responsiveness. The hydrogels of the present invention are biodegradable, biocompatible and useful as a biomaterial or drug-delivery device.
