Such a platform may be provided as an agnostic plugin to a specific vendor knowledge graph solution space.

Abstract: A method may include: introducing a treatment fluid into a subterranean formation, the treatment fluid comprising: an aqueous brine; and a hydrolysable resin precursor; allowing the hydrolysable resin precursor to hydrolyze in the subterranean formation to form at least a polymerizable resin precursor monomer; and allowing the polymerizable resin precursor monomer to polymerize to form a polymerized resin in the subterranean formation.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device receives, via one or more input devices, an input corresponding to a request to display a user interface associated with a first respective content mix, wherein the first respective content mix is associated with a first respective time period. In some embodiments in response to receiving the input corresponding to the request to display the user interface associated with the first respective content mix, the electronic device displays, via a display, the user interface. In some embodiments, the user interface includes a plurality of representations of content items including visual indications of amounts of consumption, of a first consumption metric type, by a user during the first respective time period, and a plurality of representations of content creators including visual indications of consumption, of a second consumption metric type, by the user during the first respective time period.

Abstract: The present invention overcomes the inadequacies inherent in the known methods for generating libraries of antibody-encoding polynucleotides by specifically designing the libraries with directed sequence and length diversity. The libraries are designed to reflect the preimmune repertoire naturally created by the human immune system and are based on rational design informed by examination of publicly available databases of human antibody sequences.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for reconciliation of commercial measurement ratings for non-return path data media devices are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein are to estimate unreported addressable impressions for a plurality of unreported households for an addressable advertisement based on an impressions adjustment ratio of served reportable addressable impressions to exposed reported addressable impressions included in impressions data associated with reported households. Disclosed example apparatus are further to calculate at least one of reach or frequency for the addressable advertisement to account for non-reporting devices, the at least one of the reach or the frequency determined based on the exposed reported addressable impressions, the estimated unreported addressable impressions, and the impressions adjustment ratio.
