Abstract: The invention provides recombinant DNA molecules that are unique to Brassica Event MON94100 and transgenic Brassica plants, Brassica plant parts, Brassica seeds, Brassica cells, and agricultural products containing Brassica Event MON94100 as well as methods of using and detecting Brassica Event MON94100. Transgenic Brassica plants containing Brassica Event MON94100 exhibit tolerance to dicamba.

Abstract: Methods for providing a privacy setting for a target user relative to relationships with a number of other users in a social network utilizing an electronic computing device are presented, the method including: causing the electronic computing device to retrieve a current privacy setting for a common profile item, where the common profile item corresponds with the target user and each of the number of other users, and where the common profile item is one of a number of common profile items; causing the electronic computing device to calculate a pseudo-common profile item sensitivity value for the common profile item based on the current privacy settings of the target user and the number of other users; causing the electronic computing device to calculate a final common profile item sensitivity value for the common profile item based on the current privacy setting.

Abstract: The replaying of work across a database servers includes: receiving a global time by each of a plurality of replay dispatchers; calculating, for each given replay dispatcher, a time offset using a local time for the given replay dispatcher and the global time; receiving, for each given replay dispatcher, a replay workload comprising a plurality of replay records and a global replay start time, wherein each of the plurality of replay records comprises an expected wait time; calculating, for each given replay dispatcher, a wait time for each given replay record based on the expected wait time for the given replay record, the global replay start time, and the time offset for the given replay dispatcher; and submitting, for each given replay dispatcher, the replay records to a target database server for processing in an order according to the calculated wait times.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for determining whether a volume of biological sample is adequate to produce an accurate electrochemical analyte concentration measurement. Certain such methods and systems provide the additional function of compensating for a sample volume determined to be less than adequate in order to proceed with an accurate analyte concentration measurement. The present invention is employed with a biosensor, such as an electrochemical test strip to which the sample volume of biological solution is deposited, and a meter configured to receive such test strip and to measure the concentration of selected analytes within the biological sample.

Abstract: Compositions, reagent test strips, analyte detection systems and kits of the same, as well as methods for their use in the detection of an analyte in a sample, are provided. The subject compositions are characterized by having a positively charged porous matrix and a urea derivative dye on at least one surface of the matrix, where in many preferred embodiments the urea derivative dye is a negatively charged urea derivative dye. In many preferred embodiments, the subject compositions further include at least one additional reagent member of a peroxide producing signal producing system, e.g., an analyte oxidase and/or a peroxidase. The subject compositions, test strips, analyte detection systems and kits find use in the detection of a wide variety of analytes in a sample, such as a physiological sample, e.g., blood or a fraction thereof.
