Abstract: The system and method for determining fuzzy cause and effect relationships in an intelligent workload management system described herein may combine potential causes and effects captured from various different sources associated with an information technology infrastructure with substantially instantaneous feedback mechanisms and other knowledge sources. As such, fuzzy correlation logic may then be applied to the combined information to determine potential cause and effect relationships and thereby diagnose problems and otherwise manage interactions that occur in the infrastructure. For example, information describing potential causes and potential effects associated with an operational state of the infrastructure may be captured and combined, and any patterns among the information that describes the multiple potential causes and effects may then be identified.

Abstract: Techniques for workload coordination are provided. An automated discovery service identifies resources with hardware and software specific dependencies for a workload. The dependencies are made generic and the workload and its configuration with the generic dependencies are packaged. At a target location, the packaged workload is presented and the generic dependencies automatically resolved with new hardware and software dependencies of the target location. The workload is then automatically populated in the target location.

Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for determining functional relationships between a cosmetic agent and a hair biology condition of interest. Also provided are methods and systems for identifying cosmetic agents that affect a hair biology condition, as well as the use of agents identified by such methods and systems for the preparation of cosmetic compositions, personal care products, or both.

Abstract: Techniques for auditing and controlling network services are provided. A proxy is interposed between a principal and a network service. Interactions between the principal and the service pass through the proxy. The proxy selectively raises events and evaluates policy based on the interactions for purposes of auditing and controlling the network service.

Abstract: A method of measuring the effect of an active agent or a stressor on the baseline metabolic indicators of one or more hair follicles, the method including (a) obtaining one or more hair follicles; (b) placing the one or more hair follicles in a vessel, wherein the one or more hair follicles are positioned under one or more sensors; (c) using the one or more sensors to measure the one or more hair follicles' baseline metabolic indicators for both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation; (d) exposing the one or more hair follicles to an active agent or a stressor; and (e) using the one or more sensors to measure the one or more hair follicles' respondent metabolic indicators for both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to skin care compositions comprising blends of camellia and feverfew serum fractions and/or kelp and parsley serum fractions. The skin care compositions also comprise a dermatologically acceptable carrier. The invention also relates to methods for increasing melanin production in skin by topically applying the skin care composition to areas in order to stimulate one or more steps in melanin synthesis and/or interrupt an inflammatory cycle.

Abstract: A hair care composition and method of using the composition is provided that can increase the appearance of thicker and/or fuller hair and/or delay the appearance of gray hair to provide healthy and younger looking hair.

Abstract: Hair care compositions, methods, and articles of commerce that can increase the appearance of thicker and fuller hair. Such compositions can be applied to any areas where a thicker and fuller hair appearance is desired, such as the scalp or face. The present invention also relates to methods of marketing such compositions.
