Psychopharmacological properties of new therapeutic drugs and highly heritable behavior patterns of test subjects are identified based on analysis of monitored exploratory movement to identify behavioral signatures. A test subject in a pen is allowed to explore for a period of time, after injecting it with a candidate drug or control vehicle. The test subject's movement is monitored and its locations stored. The locations are analyzed to separate them into behavioral patterns that are defined based on combinations of behavioral feature. Relative frequencies of performing each behavioral pattern are determined. In each pattern, differences between the relative frequencies in the candidate drug and control groups are tested, and only patterns in which this difference is highly significant are retained. The number of behavioral patterns further is reduced based on the relative frequencies and the correlation of behavioral patterns to one another, with the cells left over corresponding to a set of endpoints that identify a behavioral signature of the effect of the drug.

A method of conducting an enhanced electronic auction for real estate and other high-value items. Auction parameters including property identification and reserve price data are captured with respect to an auction lot, and stored in an auction profile record in an auction database. Auctions of auction lots listed for sale are conducted via a website system within an auction bidding window. An auction bidding window is extended by a bidding window time extension each time that a current winning bid is received, providing registered bidders with a minimum timeframe to make a highest bid before the auction closes. Registered bidders are required to provide a security deposit to participate in the auction, and the identity or qualifications of sellers is verified.

Invented is a Resource Tower that uses water electrolysis to separate out its elemental and purified H2 hydrogen gas and O2 oxygen gas. These gases form a pressurized flow for electricity generation for distribution and transport to heights atop the Resource Tower. Core advancements of this invention are the use of fuel cells at the top of the Resource Tower to electrochemically combine hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to produce electricity, heat, and water. The Resource Tower distributes the electricity, converts heat and water to steam to generate additional electricity for distribution, and ultimately coalesces the steam back to water at a height. The water that falls under acceleration of gravity from atop the Resource Tower is used to generate additional electricity for distribution. In addition to multiple sites of electricity generation for distribution, the purity of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas from water electrolysis is retained and the water resulting from the Resource Tower is purified and potable for distribution.
