Methods for scheduling a transportation operation such as the operation of an airline. The method desirably selects a demand (100) for transportation specifying an origin, destination, and time of arrival or departure, and selects resources from a database of available resources such as aircraft (508), crew, and departure gates. The resource selection desirably is conducted so as to optimize a result function such as contribution to margin or other financial result from the particular operation specified in the demand. Upon developing a schedule fragment (108), the specified resources are committed, and the database of available resources is modified (110) to indicate that the resources are no longer available at the relevant times. The system then treats another demand and repeats the process so as to develop a full schedule. The system can develop a feasible schedule, even for a complex transportation operation in a brief time, typically in minutes or less. Schedules can be developed using alternative strategies and assumptions, and tested against one another.

A family of hedge funds, serving as “feeder funds” into underlying single-manager hedge funds, formed to provide smaller investors with the ability to allocate and reallocate assets among alternative strategies, and this basic structure combining interrelated systems and methods for offering, redeeming, exchanging, valuing, reporting and servicing the same is a new approach. The system and methods described herein provide investors having less than ultra-high net worth portfolios with access to hedge funds and the potential valuable diversification to an overall portfolio, and the ability to customize their portfolio of hedge funds to their individual needs and adjust such portfolio over time as seen fit in light of changing financial needs and market conditions. This invention gives a wide range of investors access to hedge funds, creating economic value using a new source of stable investor capital for hedge fund managers, a value shared with investors through reduced costs.

The invention belongs to the technical field of skin light damage repair, and discloses application of exosome secreted by a human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell to preparation of a medicine forrepairing skin ultraviolet injury. The umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosome is a natural vesica, so that the immunogenicity is lower. Meanwhile, the exosome has functions of oxidation resistance, antiinflammatory effect, proliferation, apoptosis inhibition, collagen synthesis and the like similar to the functions of a parent cell in tissue regeneration repair, and can play a role in skinprotection in multiple ways. Therefore, the exosome hopefully become an alternative strategy for decellularization treatment, and has important clinic application prospect and market transformation value in multiple skin regeneration related diseases.

The invention discloses an application of a dopamine receptor antagonist chlorprothixene in treatment of acute myeloid leukemia, develops a new application of the dopamine receptor antagonist chlorprothixene as a drug, also provides a new way for treating acute myeloid leukemia, and uses the action mechanism between different fusion proteins and the existing APL theoretical model as support. Related in-vitro cell experiments and in-vivo animal experiments prove that: the chlorprothixene can induce cell apoptosis and autophagy pathways to promote death of AML cells, and can induce the decreaseof the expression quantity of fusion proteins PML-RARA and AML1-ETO, so that the chlorprothixene is a potential drug for inducing AML cell death, and provides a new visual angle for exploring alternative strategies of various AML subtype treatments.

As an alternative strategy to electronic pacemaker devices, we explored the feasibility of converting normally-quiescent ventricular myocytes into pacemakers by somatic cell fusion. The idea is to create chemically-induced fusion between myocytes and syngeneic fibroblasts engineered to express HCN1 pacemaker ion channels (HCN1 fibroblasts), in normally-quiescent myocardium. HCN1-expressing fibroblasts formed stable heterokaryons with myocytes, generating spontaneously-oscillating action potentials as well as ventricular pacemaker activity in vivo and provides a platform for an autologous, non-viral, adult somatic cell therapy. We also converted a depolarization-activated potassium-selective channel, Kv1.4, into a hyperpolarization-activated non-selective channel by site-directed mutagenesis (R447N, L448A, and R453I in S4 and G528S in the pore). Gene transfer into ventricular myocardium demonstrated the ability of this construct to induce pacemaker activity, with spontaneous action potential oscillations in adult ventricular myocytes and idioventricular rhythms by in vivo electrocardiography. Given the sparse expression of Kv1 family channels in the human ventricle, gene transfer of a synthetic pacemaker channel based on the Kv1 family has therapeutic utility as a biological alternative to electronic pacemakers.
