Abstract: A method of ranking a plurality of regulated data sources and a plurality of non-regulated data sources for a data field is provided. The method evaluates consistency and assigns a ranking for a regulated data source based upon records having identical values and records having non-identical values for the data field in the regulated data source compared to other regulated data sources under analysis. The method further evaluates consistency and assigns a ranking for a non-regulated data source based upon records having identical values compared to other non-regulated data sources under analysis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the anticancer composition containing an effective amount of herbal extract, and more particularly to the anticancer composition containing an effective amount of extract of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix, Chrysanthemum indicum, Acanthopanax senticosus, Cinnamomum cassia Blume, Eucommia ulmoides Oliv., Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, Pueraria thunbergiana Benth, Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge, Cassia tora, Carthamus tinctorius L., Paeonia lactiflora Pall, and Angelica gigas Nakai. The anticancer composition containing an effective amount of herbal extract has advantage of minimal or few side effects and cytotoxicity as compared to many existing anticancer drugs having cytotoxicity and side effects.

Abstract: In an enterprise where a database maintains multiple accounts for business customers, a method, system, and computer program product correctly links accounts which are associated with a common business. Business identification information from one or more external data sources is obtained and the format of the business identification data is standardized. Data records of business accounts are compared according to a plurality of rules for matching one business account to another. When two business accounts are found to match according to the business matching rules, a common identifier is applied to both business accounts to flag the two accounts as being associated with the same business entity. One or more hierarchy rules are applied to accounts associated with a common business, to establish a hierarchy among the accounts for purposes of marketing and other business communications.

Abstract: The invention concerns scheduling an application comprised of precedence constrained parallel tasks on a high-performance computer system. The computer system has a plurality of processors each enabled to operate on different voltage supply levels. First, a priority order for the tasks based on the computation and communication costs of the tasks is determined. Next, the based on the priority order of the tasks, assigning each task both a processor and a voltage level that substantially minimizes energy consumption and completion time for performing that task when compared to energy consumption and completion time for performing that task on different combinations of processor and voltage level. It is an advantage of the invention that the scheduling takes account not only completion time (makespan), but also energy consumption. Aspects of the invention include a method, software, a scheduling module of a computer and a schedule.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for treating chronic hepatitis B, containing clevudine and adefovir dipivoxil. The combined formulation of the present invention maximizes the effect for treating diseases caused by infection of hepatitis B virus and shows a mutual inhibitory activity against a resistant virus compared with a single-component formulation.

Abstract: A method, system, and machine-readable medium for transforming raw data into business intelligent data that provides a reliable, consistent value and other associated data for the data element is provided. The method includes determining a most frequently occurring value of the data element from a plurality of regulated data sources, determining a value from a highly ranked regulated data source based on a ranking of a plurality of regulated data sources, and determining a value from a highly ranked non-regulated data source based on a ranking of said plurality of non-regulated data sources. The method further arbitrates from among the determined values and stores information regarding the consistency and origin of the arbitrated value.
