摘要:
This disclosure provides articles that include functionalized nanoscale fibers and methods for functionalizing nanoscale fibers. The functionalized nanoscale fibers may be made by oxidizing a network of nanoscale fibers, grafting one or more molecules or polymers to the oxidized nanoscale fibers, and cross-linking at least a portion of the molecules or polymers grafted to the oxidized nanoscale fibers. The functionalized nanoscale fibers may be used to make articles.

This disclosure provides improved composite materials and methods for making the composite materials. Specifically, binder-free composite materials have been developed that have a network of CNTs in which one or more types of particles or fibers is embedded. The composite materials may be made by filtering suspensions containing carbon nanotubes, particles or fibers of interest, or both carbon nanotubes and particles or fibers of interest. The particles may be silicon particles, activated carbon particles, particles of a lithium compound, any other particles, or a combination thereof. The composite materials have a large number of applications, including electrical devices.

Content delivery includes receiving a Domain Name Service (DNS) request, selecting from a plurality of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) a CDN to provide content associated with the DNS request, processing the DNS request and generating a response, the response including a canonical name (CNAME) value that corresponds to the selected CDN, receiving an indication that the content is not presently available at the selected CDN, and returning an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a data source that is configured to provide the content to the selected CDN.
摘要:
A computer system for visualizing recombination events in a group of individuals is provided. According to one aspect of the invention, high-density SNP genotype data is obtained from related individuals in a family. A pedigree is created, haplotypes are reconstructed and likely recombination breakpoints are identified with the use of publicly available computer programs. A software tool is then used facilitate the visualization of the recombination events in the family.
摘要:
Methods are provided for functionalizing a macroscopic film comprised of nanoscale fibers by controlled irradiation. The methods may include the steps of (a) providing a nanoscale fiber film material comprising a plurality of nanoscale fibers (which may include single wall nanotubes, multi-wall nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, or a combination thereof); and (b) irradiating the nanoscale fiber film material with a controlled amount of radiation in the open air or in a controlled atmosphere. The step of irradiating the nanoscale fiber film material is effective to functionalize the plurality of nanoscale fibers. Irradiated nanoscale fiber films are also provided having improved mechanical and electrical conducting properties.

摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention generate and optimize query plans that are at least partially executable in hardware. Upon receiving a query, the query is rewritten and optimized with a bias for hardware execution of fragments of the query. A template-based algorithm may be employed for transforming a query into fragments and then into query tasks. The various query tasks can then be routed to either a hardware accelerator, a software module, or sent back to a database management system for execution. For those tasks routed to the hardware accelerator, the query tasks are compiled into machine code database instructions. In order to optimize query execution, query tasks may be broken into subtasks, rearranged based on available resources of the hardware, pipelined, or branched conditionally

A system for automating data partitioning in a parallel database includes plural nodes connected in parallel. Each node includes a database server and two databases connected thereto. Each database server includes a query optimizer. Moreover, a partitioning advisor communicates with the database server and the query optimizer. The query optimizer and the partitioning advisor include a program for recommending and evaluating data table partitions that are useful for processing a workload of query statements. The data table partitions are recommended and evaluated without requiring the data tables to be physically repartitioned.
