Abrégé
A method for desalinating a brine includes the use of a cooled intermediate-cold-liquid (ICL), which combines with the brine in a crystallization or freezing tank, where the brine and cooled ICL are contacted for a time sufficient to produce a slurry of ice, brine, and ICL. The method includes steps for separating the ICL, ice and brine, and melting the separated ice to form a volume of desalinated water. The method is significant in that it produces desalinated liquid water and solid salts. The combination of superior heat transfer with high quality purified water and competitive desalination economy makes the disclosed freeze desalination technology an attractive solution for desalination of highly concentrated brines produced in a variety of industries, including but not limited to the oil and gas industry and reject brine management.

Proton beams can deliver a highly targeted radiation dose to a narrow volume defined by their Bragg peaks. However, Bragg peak range uncertainties persist during dose delivery. Fortunately, pulsed proton beams generate protoacoustic emissions proportional to absorbed proton energy, thereby encoding dosimetry information in a detectable acoustic wave. The present embodiments provide methods and apparatuses to derive and model protoacoustic imaging with an ultrasound transducer, and examine the frequency characteristics of protoacoustic emissions, which are crucial parameters in imaging resolution.

Methods of conducting perforation and hydraulic fracturing operations in a subterranean wellbore by analysis of rock samples collected during drilling of the borehole. The rock samples can be analyzed on-site or off-site to characterize the connected porosity of the rock of the frac stages of the wellbore, enabling identification of the frac stages with the highest connected Porosity. The perforation and fracking procedures of higher-quality (high connected porosity) stages of the wellbore are prioritized over the poorer-quality (low connected porosity) stages, thereby enhancing oil and/or gas recovery from the subterranean formation, and reducing costs by avoiding frac stages which will be low producers due to their low connected porosity values.

Abrégé
A Self-Explaining Decision Architecture (SEDA) for machine learning-based decision-making systems capable of generating intuitive explanations for its decisions in real time. SEDA makes use of a feature extraction subsystem and a sequence interpretation subsystem to identify patterns in data followed by a decision generation subsystem that determines appropriate actions based on those patterns. Internal state information from each of these subsystems is used to generate explanations of the system's decisions. Using this information to create explanations provides insight as to the data elements the system focused on when making decisions as well as the reasoning that was used. In at least one embodiment the system uses deep learning components including a combined convolutional neural network and long short-term memory network with attention mechanisms.

A novel shape memory polymer (SMP)-based device for surgical treatment of an intracorporeal defect (e.g., a void or anomaly) such as an intracranial aneurysm or fistula. In at least one non-limiting embodiment, the SMP device is a 3D-printed SMP material sized to specifically fit and thus occlude an intracranial aneurysm (ICA). The SMP device may be delivered to the intracorporeal defect via a catheter having a heating mechanism wherein the SMP device is raised above its glass transition temperature as it is deployed, causing the SMP device to return to its permanent shape after it is deployed into the intracorporeal defect. SMP device delivery systems that include the SMP devices, as well as methods of making and using the devices and systems, are also disclosed.

Abrégé
The present disclosure describes a system comprising a gain-scheduling control strategy which improves its nonlinear control performance. A control-oriented model, which does not require numerous physical parameters and extensive test data, has been developed to address the nonlinearity of the fan system. Based on theoretical model and experimental verifications, the issue of an aggressive response with a conventional fixed-gain controller is caused by the fact that the system gain is proportional to the ratio of the duct static pressure to the fan speed. To address the issue, a scheduling function of the measurable duct static pressure and fan speed is included in the conventional fixed-gain controller to compensate for the fan system gain variation. The gain-scheduling control strategy approximately maintains the identical control performance under all operation conditions. The gain-scheduling control strategy can be readily implemented on a processor without intensive computation and additional measurements.

The present disclosure is directed to methods of cancer treatment, for example of solid tumors, in which CORP is inhibited, and optionally is administered in tandem with checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy (e.g., inhibition of Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), PD-1 ligand, and/or Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte- Associated protein 4 (CTLA-4)) to bolster anti-tumor immunity and lead to tumor rejection. In one non-limiting embodiment, for example, the cancer treated is breast cancer. In this manner, CORP inhibitors that target neurochemicals secreted by sensory nerves and are used as migraine treatments can be repurposed in anti-tumor therapy.

Abrégé
Compositions and methods of treating hyperglycemia in a subject having such a condition are disclosed. An inhibitor compound which causes activity of Cullin RING E3 ligases (CRL) to be reduced is administered to the subject, wherein blood glucose concentration is decreased. In at least certain embodiments insulin secretion and insulin sensitization in the subject are increased. Inhibition of CRL activity, e.g., by decreasing cullin neddylation by inhibiting NEDD8-activating enzyme (NAE), or decreasing cullin activity, e.g., by inhibiting expression of cullins, is shown herein to delay IRS protein turnover in liver cells and muscle cells, thereby increasing cellular response to insulin and decreasing blood glucose. Thus, inhibition of CRLs, for example by inhibiting neddylation, is an effective method to treat hyperglycemia and insulin resistance, and to increase insulin secretion in patients with hyperglycemia, for example due to type-2 diabetes.
