Subject field(s)
  • Advertising Techniques
  • Internet and Telematics
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Predictive behavioural targeting : This method uses machine learning and AI [artificial intelligence] algorithms to analyze a user's past behavior and predict their future interests and actions. Advertisers use this data to present content or ads that are likely to resonate with the user, even if they haven’t explicitly shown interest in a particular topic.

Key term(s)

Subject field(s)
  • Astronautics
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

Delta differential one-way ranging(delta-DOR) [:] For certain mission applications, especially targeting a landing site, it is also important to know the spacecraft position in the plane of the sky, which cannot be computed from the line-of-sight ranging data. Another method is needed to address this gap. This is differential one-way ranging(known as delta-DOR), a navigation capability that also benefits RS [radio science] in that the experiments data quality improves from optimizing the navigation solution. Delta-DOR is derived from the more general VLBI [very long baseline interferometric] measurements where two or more tracking stations on different continents are used to determine the position and velocity of the spacecraft in the plane of the sky.

OBS

"Δ" is the mathematical symbol for "delta."

OBS

delta differential one-way ranging; delta-differential one-way ranging; delta-DOR; delta differential one-way range; ΔDOR: designations validated by a Canadian subject-matter expert from the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology.

Record 7 2007-08-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
CONT

Human artificial chromosomes(HAC) have been considered as a possible vector for human gene therapy. In our previous work a minichromosome(MC), isolated from a patient, was transformed with a selectable marker gene(neo) which was targeted into its centromere; the MC was then size reduced, by X-ray exposure, to be easily manipulated and further engineered. The method developed for gene targeting, based on the use of chromosome specific centromeric satellite DNA as transfection carrier, is highly efficient and reproducible.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
CONT

En effet, les chromosomes artificiels humains (HAC) décrits constituent les premières constructions chromosomiques possédant tous les attributs (télomères, origines de réplication, centromère) d'un chromosome humain viable. [...] Les généticiens manquent encore d'informations précises sur les séquences qui, au niveau du centromère et des origines de réplications, sont nécessaires au fonctionnement du chromosome.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Genética
DEF

Construcción análoga al cromosoma artificial de levadura, que consta de un centrómero y telómeros de origen humano, que permitiría la clonación de fragmentos de ADN muy grandes y su transferencia a las células humanas para aplicar la terapia génica.
