摘要:
Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to water heaters adapted to be mounted on or proximate the roof of a structure such as a building (e.g., residential home, commercial building, etc.). The liquid to be heated can be water, or other liquid, in different example embodiments. In certain example embodiments, at least one vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit is provided as part of the water heater structure in order to help preserve heat that has been absorbed and/or generated.

Architectures and techniques for treating conditions of the eye, such as presbyopia, utilize sources of treatment energy, such as electromagnetic energy emitting devices, to implement non-corneal manipulations. According to these devices and methods, the sources of treatment energy are activated to direct energy onto parts of the eye, such as the conjunctiva and sclera, to treat presbyopia. The treatments can affect at least one property of the eye and enhance an accommodation of the eye.

摘要:
Particular aspects provide line-walking recursive partitioning (LWRP) methods for evaluating molecular interactions (e.g., enzyme-substrate binding/interaction, protein-protein interaction/docking, protein-small molecule and protein-nucleotide interactions, molecule-molecule and surface-molecule interactions, protein activity inhibition or activation based on a molecular interaction/binding event, or modulation or inhibition of P450 drug metabolism). A training set serves as a collection of molecular points in m-dimensional space, each dimension corresponding to a chemical descriptor, each point having a molecule-descriptor value. In this geometric setting, dissection of the space into regions is decided according to LWRP-generated hyperplanes; a novel ‘line-walking algorithm’ is used to generate optimal hyperplanes for recursive partitioning. Preferably, such line-walking embodiments additionally comprise use of a small or reduced number of descriptors relative to prior art methods. The results are relatively easily evaluated, and applicable to molecules outside of the ‘training set.’ Additional aspects provide LWRP methods for predicting a numerical value (e.g., pKi) or a molecule.

Methods of identifying polymorphisms associated with hereditary spastic paraplegia (SPG), are described. The polymorphisms associated with SPG include specific mutations in the receptor expression enhancing protein 1 (REEP1) gene. Also described are methods of diagnosis of SPG.
摘要:
An exemplary software architecture allows for defining and accessing data and auxiliary data for an item in a navigable namespace. For example, such an exemplary architecture can include a provider engine operable to access data for an item in a navigable namespace, an auxiliary provider engine operable to access auxiliary data for the item and an auxiliary provider class for use in defining the auxiliary data for the item and accessing the auxiliary data for the item. Various other exemplary technologies are also disclosed.
摘要:
Tissue coverings customized with images of underlying tissue are disclosed. Wounds, unwanted features, blemishes and the like may be camouflaged or masked by the tissue coverings, which can include photographic images of a patient's underlying tissue.
摘要:
