Abstract: Described herein is a process of genetic transformation in W. somnifera by Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation to overexpress squalene synthase gene (WsSQS) encoding WsSQS enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of squalene from farnesyl pyrophosphate. Increased withanolide level including withaferin-A, withanolide A and B and withanone is attained in transformed plant tissues.

Abstract: A total green, eco-friendly process for the synthesis of new acceptor molecule [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid pentyl ester (PC61BP) in high yields is carried under aerobic conditions showing better performance as acceptor in organic solar cells. More importantly this process causes the low cost synthesis of PC61BP in good yield without involving harmful and costly catalysts or chemicals.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving information associated with a user of media services, wherein the received information does not uniquely identify one media head end for the user, identifying a plurality of head ends responsive to the received information, and generating, for display on a client device associated with the user, information for displaying a program guide aggregating channels for the plurality of head ends.

Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying program guide information are disclosed. In some implementations a method includes, at a computing device having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, formatting, for display, program guide data on a grid. The grid includes (i) a first axis representing units of time and (ii) a second axis representing multimedia channels. The program guide data comprises information representing a set of multimedia events. Responsive to a user-supplied selection of a multimedia event in the set of multimedia events a panel is overlaid on a portion of the grid. The panel provides additional data regarding the multimedia event.

Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying program guide information are disclosed. In some implementations, a method includes, at a computing device having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, responsive to a user-supplied search query, formatting for display program guide data on a first grid. The first grid includes (i) a first axis representing units of time and (ii) a second axis. The program guide data comprises information representing a first set of time-bounded events. The method also includes formatting a second grid for concurrent display with the first grid. The second grid includes information identifying a second set of time-bounded events. The first set of time-bounded events is a subset of the second set of time-bounded events.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments illustrate methods and systems for crowdsourcing a task. The method includes extracting one or more components from at least one task based on a task category associated with the at least one task. Each component corresponds to a part of the at least one task, that requires an input from a crowdworker. Further, the one or more components are categorized in a set of first categories, each of which includes similar components, and a second category that includes dissimilar components. The categorization is based on a comparison between content of each of component, and the task category. Thereafter, a representative component from at least one category from the set of first categories, and at least one component from the second category are combined to create the task. The task, so created, is crowdsourced to one or more crowdworkers.

Abstract: A client computer receives a set of search results ordered based on scheduled time of broadcast associated with respective listings of content. The listings of content include data representing time-bounded events. The client computer displays or otherwise presents a set of objects along an axis of a display bar, the objects corresponding to subsets of the search results. For example, the axis is associated with a unit of time or a unit of relevance.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving an identification of a media program from a broadcast channel on an electronic program guide for inclusion in a personalized channel, adding the identified program to a personalized channel at a first time, and adding one or more additional programs to the personalized channel at times other than the first time.

Abstract: A method and system for providing listings of multimedia events and for allowing a user to create virtual channels from the listings is described. The user can specify a headend or zip code and enter a search query to find multimedia events that are of interest to the user. In response, the system provides a list of multimedia events as the results of the user's search query. If the user so desires, the user can create a virtual channel based on the search results, according to certain embodiments of the invention.
