Abstract:
Systems and methods for optimizing write operations to a storage device in a virtualized computing environment comprise monitoring write operations issued by an application running on a virtual machine's (VM) operating system, wherein the VM is hosted by a hypervisor providing access to a storage device in a virtualized computing environment; and causing a virtual file system (VFS) supported by the operating system to call on a first para-virtualized file system (PVFS FE) supported by the operating system to execute a write operation, in response to determining that the write operation is to write data to the storage device, wherein data that is to be written to the storage device is first written to a VM memory area allocated to the VM and accessible to the hypervisor hosting the VM.
Abstract:
In accordance with one or more embodiments, an inode implemented file system may be utilized to support both offline and inline deduplication. When the first content is stored in the storage medium, one inode is used to associate a filename with the data blocks where the first content is stored. When a second content that is a duplicate of the first content is to be stored, then a parent inode is created to point to the data blocks in which a copy of the first content is stored. Further, two inodes are created, one representing the first content and the other representing the second content. Both inodes point to the same parent inode that points to the data blocks where the first content is stored.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to the design, manufacture and use of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) polypeptides having improved receptor specificity. In particular, the invention relates to isolated FGF2 and FGF4 polypeptides that include a truncated N-terminus and optionally N-terminal amino acid substitutions. The present invention provides polypeptides, nucleic acids encoding the polypeptides, compositions of the same and methods for use thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to antibodies with binding affinity to fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) optionally with binding affinity to other FGF receptors, which block both ligand-dependent and constitutive ligand independent receptor activation. Specifically, the present invention relates to antibodies with high affinity to more than one FGF receptor subtype, and fragments thereof, useful in treating disorders including cell proliferative diseases.
Abstract:
Molecules comprising the antigen-binding portion of antibodies that block constitutive and/or ligand-dependent activation of a receptor protein tyrosine kinase, such as fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3), are found through screening methods, where a soluble dimeric form of a receptor protein tyrosine kinase is used as target for screening a library of antibody fragments displayed on the surface of bacteriophage. The molecules of the present invention which block constitutive activation can be administered to treat or inhibit skeletal dysplasia, craniosynostosis disorders, cell proliferative diseases or disorders, or tumor progression associated with the constitutive activation of a receptor protein tyrosine kinase.
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to a pharmaceutical composition and to an improved method of preventing, attenuating and treating multiple myeloma by administering to an individual in need thereof at least one antibody to fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3). In particular, the at least one FGR3 antibody induces apoptosis of myeloma cells expressing wild type FGFR3.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for optimizing read operations from a storage device in a virtualized computing environment are provided. One method comprises monitoring read operations issued by an application running on a virtual machine's (VM) operating system, wherein the VM is hosted by a hypervisor providing access to a storage device in a virtualized computing environment; and causing a virtual file system (VFS) supported by the operating system to call on a first para-virtualized file system (PVFS FE) supported by the operating system to execute a read operation, in response to determining that the read operation is for reading target data from the storage device.
