Abstract: Drift reduction adjuvant composition and agricultural sprays containing such agricultural compositions contain water, a rheology modifier (e.g., guar gum or polyacrylamide), an emulsifier such as a polyoxyethylene sorbitan emulsifier, and an oil. When the agricultural spray containing the drift reduction adjuvant composition and a pesticide is delivered from an agricultural nozzle, it produces fewer droplets less than 150 ?m in diameter and either reduces, maintains or increases (e.g., by up to 30 percentage points) the number of ultra-coarse droplets above 622 ?m in diameter compared to an agricultural spray of the pesticide without the drift reduction adjuvant composition sprayed under the same conditions.

Abstract: Innovations in control and use of chroma quantization parameter (“QP”) values that depend on luma QP values. More generally, the innovations relate to control and use of QP values for a secondary color component that depend on QP values for a primary color component. For example, during encoding, an encoder determines a QP index from a primary component QP and secondary component QP offset. The encoder maps the QP index to a secondary component QP, which has an extended range. The encoder outputs at least part of a bitstream including the encoded content. A corresponding decoder receives at least part of a bitstream including encoded content. During decoding, the decoder determines a QP index from a primary component QP and secondary component QP offset, then maps the QP index to a secondary component QP, which has an extended range.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems, and machine-readable media are disclosed for improving packet filtering efficiency by reducing processing time and/or by reducing memory usage. Any of various types of data structures, such as flat hash maps and/or ruletrees, may be used by a packet filtering appliance to search for cybersecurity policy packet filtering rules that should be applied to in-transit packets. The packet filtering appliance may search the index data structures for matches of search objects, in the form of values that the packet filtering appliance extracts from in-transit packets, to threat indicator matching criteria of the policy rules. Each of the index data structures may map rule identifiers (rule IDs) of policy rules to keys that are based on (or that comprise) the matching criteria of those rules.
