Title: Adjoint-based conditioning of process-based geologic models
Inventor: GHAYOUR KAVEH
IPC: G06G7/48
Filed: 2009-12-03
Granted: 2015-08-20
Abstract: A method for correlating data predicted by a process- or physics-based geologic model to describe a subsurface region with obtained data describing the subsurface region. Data is obtained describing an initial state of the subsurface region. Data describing a subsequent state of the subsurface region is predicted. The predicted data is compared with the obtained data taking into account whether the obtained data or the predicted data represent a discontinuous event. A sensitivity of the predicted data is determined if the predicted data is not within an acceptable range of the obtained data. The data describing the initial state of the subsurface region is adjusted based on the sensitivity before performing a subsequent iteration of predicting data describing the subsequent state of the subsurface region. A representation of the subsurface region based on the data describing the subsequent state of the subsurface region is outputted.

Title: Metabolic engineering of a galactose assimilation pathway in the glycoengineered yeast Pichia pastoris
Inventor: DAVIDSON ROBERT C
IPC: C07K16/18
Filed: 2010-02-24
Granted: 2012-11-01
Abstract: Lower eukaryotic cells such as Pichia pastoris that normally cannot use galactose as a carbon source but which have been genetically engineered according to the methods herein to use galactose as a sole source of carbon are described. The cells are genetically engineered to express several of the enzymes comprising the Leloir pathway. In particular, the cells are genetically engineered to express a galactokinase, a UDP-galactose-C4-epimerase, and a galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase, and optionally a galactose permease. In addition, a method is provided for improving the yield of glycoproteins that have galactose-terminated or -containing N-glycans in cells that have been genetically engineered to produce glycoproteins with N-glycans having galactose residues but which normally lack the enzymes comprising the Leloir pathway comprising transforming the cells with one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding a galactokinase, a UDP-galactose-C4-epimerase, and a galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase. The methods and host cells described enable the presence or lack of the ability to assimilate galactose as a selection method for making recombinant cells. The methods and host cells are shown herein to be particularly useful for making immunoglobulins and the like that have galactose-terminated or containing N-glycans.
