Abstract: A control system for a perfusion system (1), the control system being configured to control a plurality of blood flow rates in the perfusion system during a weaning phase. The perfusion system comprises: a first blood line (26) in which blood is permitted to flow at a first flow rate; a second blood line (34) in which blood is permitted to flow at a second flow rate; an arterial blood line (22) in which blood is permitted to flow at an arterial flow rate; and an arterial pump (20) configured to circulate blood at the arterial flow rate in the arterial blood line. The control system comprises a controller configured to determine the first flow rate and the second flow rate and to process the first and second flow rates to determine a desired arterial flow rate. The controller is configured to operate in a first mode in which the controller modulates operation of the arterial pump (20) to adjust the arterial flow rate so that the arterial flow rate matches the desired arterial flow rate.

The hinge is connected to the composite sandwich panel such that an axis of rotation of the hinge is positioned over the first over-crush edge region of the composite sandwich panel.

Abstract: Methods are provided for reducing the complexity of a population of nucleic acids prior to performing an analysis of the nucleic acids, e.g., sequence analysis. The methods result in a subset of the initial population enriched for a target region, which is typically located within one or more target fragments. The methods are particularly useful for analyzing populations having a high degree of complexity, e.g., chromosomal-derived DNA, whole genomic DNA, or mRNA populations.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automated path-based recommendation for risk mitigation are provided. An entity assessment server, responsive to a request for a recommendation for modifying a current risk assessment score of an entity to a target nsk assessment score, accesses an input attribute veclor for the entity and clusters of entities defined by historical attribute vectors. The entity assessment server assigns the input attribute vector to a particular cluster and determines a requirement on movement from a first point to a second point in a multi-dimensional space based on tire statistics computed from tltc particular cluster The first point corresponds to tire current risk assessment score and the second point corresponds to the target nsk assessment score. The entity assessment server computes an attribute-changc vecior so that a path defined by the attribute-change vector complies with the requirement and generates tlic recommendation from the attribute-changc vector.
