Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for intermixing expressions with other types of data in input controls. A system includes a processor and a memory that stores program code configured to be executed by the processor. The program code comprises a step configuration interface configured to receive, via a same input control, an expression as a first segment and a different type of data from an expression as a second segment. The program code further comprises a logic generator configured to generate a serialized representation that includes a serialized version of the first segment and a serialized version of the second segment.

Abstract: A printed circuit board (PCB) includes a ground layer, a first layer, a second layer, a connector footprint, and a pair of differential signal lines. The connector footprint comprises first and second bonding pads. The PCB defines a first signal via in a central portion of a space bounded by the first bonding pad, and a second signal via in a central portion of a space bounded by the second bonding pad.

Abstract: It is disclosed herein that expression of microRNA-26 is decreased in hepatocellular (HCC) tumor tissue relative to non-cancerous tissue, and that a low level of microRNA-26 is associated with a poor clinical outcome. It is also disclosed herein that a low expression level of microRNA-26 is correlated with a favorable response to interferon (IFN)-? therapy in HCC patients. Thus, provided herein is a method of predicting the clinical outcome of a patient diagnosed with HCC comprising detecting the level of microRNA-26 expression in a sample obtained from the patient. Also provided is a method of selecting a patient diagnosed with HCC as a candidate for IFN-? therapy, comprising detecting the level of microRNA-26 expression in a sample obtained from the patient. A method of identifying therapeutic agents for the treatment of HCC, comprising screening candidate agents in vitro to select an agent that increases expression of microRNA-26 in HCC cells are also provided.

Abstract: A system and a method for converting between data formats converts air flow data from a thermal simulation tool into a format readable by a DC power analyzing tool. Air flow data associated with the locations of certain points on a printed circuit board are taken and an EXCEL document including Main, Data, and Final worksheets is created. The data to be converted is obtained, and the data imported into the Data worksheet. Parameters in the Main worksheet to set an analysis area of the printed circuit board are set, and air flow data associated with the analysis areas from the Data worksheet are obtained and divided into groups, according to the parameters set in the Main worksheet. An equivalence value for each group of data is calculated and the equivalence values are saved in the Final worksheet for reading by the DC power analyzing tool.
