Methods and computer programs to quantify defects in an experimentally synthesized material for use in a battery are provided. A method includes an operation for obtaining spectra of the experimentally synthesized material. Further, defected structures of a crystalline structure are created via simulation, and spectra of the defected structures are obtained via simulation. In another method operation, the spectra of the experimentally synthesized material is compared to the spectra of the defected structures obtained via simulation, and if the spectra of the experimentally synthesized material is substantially equal to the spectra of the defected structures obtained via simulation then the defects in the experimentally synthesized material are quantified according to the defects in the defected structures.

Human individuals at increased risk for vascular pathology are identified by determining whether the individuals' genome comprises a Notch1 allele predetermined to be associated with an increased risk for vascular pathology. Notch1 alleles are identified as being associated with increased risk for vascular pathology by detecting the presence of a same Notch allele in a plurality of persons with increased risk for vascular pathology.

Provided are methods and systems for determining the structure of a composite or solid solution material for an electrode in lithium-ion batteries. In one embodiment, a method is presented where a building-block database of hypothetical structures containing only one transition metal atom is constructed by use of quantum simulation. Then, a composite model set of structures containing two or more transition metal atoms is constructed by calculating a linear average of parent components from the building-block database of hypothetical structures to determine lattice constants and atomic coordinates of candidates. The composite model set is screened with a local order matrix to subclassify composite models into a subset, such that the composite models share the same property in local transition metal ordering. Still yet, a representative from each subset is selected and a quantum simulation on the representative models is performed to determine the structure of the material.

Integrin-linked kinase (ILK) and Akt/protein kinase B (PKB) are important mediators of signaling in cardiomyocytes and can both prevent damage and promote healing associated with ischemic injury to the heart. Thus, the present invention provides for methods of screening for agents that increase the expression of ILK and/or Akt/PKB. Methods of treatment based on such agents are also provided.

The present invention describes microRNAs that regulate the differentiation, proliferation and death of cardiac and skeletal muscles cells. These molecules represent unique targets in the developmental pathways of muscle cells. They also can be used as active agents to induce differentiation in progenitor cells, and their down-regulation permits the maintenance and expansion of progenitor cell populations.
