This level can be used in methods aimed at monitoring and/or treating subject suffering from an acute flavivirus infection and/or who are at risk for progression to clinically significant infection or disease. This level can also be used in a vaccination method to ensure that those who receive a flavivirus vaccine have a reduced risk of reacting to the vaccine be developing clinically significant infection or disease. The disclosure also provides treatment methods based on inhibiting Fc?RIIA or Fc?RIIIA receptor signaling. Also provided are novel cell lines that are useful in measuring afucosylated Fc glycans.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and products communicate loan collateral information. A central server receives collateral data that is filtered based on collateral identification information. A problem in the filtered collateral data is identified by applying a set of collateral analysis rules and accessing related supplemental data to detect one or more differences between the filtered collateral data and the supplemental data. A notification is generated that includes descriptions of the problem and the filtered collateral data, and a navigation link to access more information from a source of problem information. The notification is transmitted to a remote computing device based on a destination address, including an internet protocol address. The notification is in a format compatible with the remote computing device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting, capturing and/or disinfecting viruses. A water trap system includes a water-filled container through which air is introduced into a water-filled container. Charged viruses, bacteria and other contaminants become trapped in the water-filled container as they are entrapped by oppositely charged atoms (e.g., oxygen). Another device incorporates an electric field created by a pair of electrodes with an outer surface heated to a threshold temperature significant enough to disinfect viruses that come into contact therewith. Another device is a portable inhaler for detecting the polarity of airborne viruses and counting the positive and negative electrical charges of airborne viruses with tolerances of a few charged particles per cubic centimeter by sampling several hundred cubic centimeters of air per second. Consequently, the portable inhaler is capable of quickly and efficiently detecting whether a person has contracted a virus (e.g., COVID-19 virus).

Abstract: In a method of atomic precision advanced manufacturing (APAM), an atomic or molecular resist layer on a substrate surface is selectively depassivated by locally exciting the substrate surface with an optical beam effective to eject adsorbed atoms or molecules from the substrate surface. The substrate surface is further processed by exposing it to a precursor gas, decomposing the precursor gas to release a dopant, and incorporating the dopant into the substrate surface.
