For any given domain, a variety of individual information and data sources that contain information relevant to the schema can be identified. Data elements associated with a schema may be identified in a training source, such as by user tagging. A formal grammar may be induced appropriate to the schema and layout of the training source. A Hidden Markov Model (HMM) corresponding to the grammar may learn where in the sources the elements can be found. The system can automatically mutate its schema into a grammar matching the structure of the source documents. By following an inverse transformation sequence, data that is parsed by the mutated grammar can be fit back into the original grammar structure, matching the original data schema defined through domain modeling. Features disclosed herein may be implemented with respect to web-scraping and data acquisition, and to represent data in support of data-editing and data-merging tasks. A schema may be defined with respect to a graph-based domain model. | 06-10-2010 |

20150058498 | Management Of Shared Storage I/O Resources - Automated management of shared I/O resources involves use of a policy engine for implementing I/O scheduling group I/O policies. The I/O policies are used for determining whether corresponding I/O requests should be issued to a shared storage system immediately or should be delayed via corresponding policy-based queues. In the context of database systems, a database administrator can specify policies regarding how I/O resources should be used and the database system itself enforces the policies, rather than requiring the database administrator enforce the I/O usage of the database and of the individual users. | 02-26-2015 |

20130054531 | DATABASE CLONING - A database management system (DBMS) maintains a clone database in a clone space without storing an entire copy of the database and without requiring a snapshot function from an underlying storage device. This DBMS may receive a database command to access a data block of the clone database, and may determine whether the data block is stored in the clone space. If the data block is not stored in the local clone space, the DBMS may receive the data block from a backup copy of the database. If the database command comprises a write operation, the DBMS may perform the write operation to update the data block, and may store the updated data block in the clone space. Also, if the database command comprises a read operation, the DBMS may perform the read operation on the data block received from the backup copy of the database. | 02-28-2013 |

20130151421 | REAL-TIME PROJECT PROGRESS ENTRY: APPLYING PROJECT TEAM MEMBER-ENTERED PROGRESS IMMEDIATELY TO THE PROJECT PLAN - Embodiments of this invention relate generally to updating a project plan in accordance with an input. A user may have a limited set of privileges to update the project plan compared to a manager. The manager may provide a threshold value relating to a type of change that may be made to a master version project plan. Next, the user may access the master project plan, and provide an input relating to a proposed change. From the change, a change value may be derived, and the change value may be compared to the threshold value to determine whether the change value violates the threshold value. If the change value violates the threshold value, a change exception may be generated, and the manager may be notified that the proposed change requires review. If the change value does not violate the threshold value, then the master project plan may be immediately updated. | 06-13-2013 |

20110077215 | DNA Methylation As A Target For Diagnosis And Treatment Of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukema (CLL) - Global DNA methylation is a predictor of aggressive disease in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The higher the DNA methylation, the more likely a patient is going to require systemic therapy. Although there is a gradual decline in global DNA methylation with increasing age in normal individuals, the methylation index only decreases by approximately 0.03 per decade. A pilot study was performed in which patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia were treated with low doses of DNA methylation inhibitors to evaluate if inhibition of DNA methylation can translate into a clinical benefit. Inhibition of DNA methylation was observed to lead to re-expression of tumor suppressors and normal cellular function. At low non-toxic doses of 0.05-0.09 mg per kilogram per day for three days every 28 days, some patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia were observed to achieve a reduction in circulating leukemia cells. This was observed to correlate with a reduction in global DNA methylation and an alteration in methylation of core histones. | 03-31-2011 |
