Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a computer system for backing up data in a backup storage space. A computer receives a request for backing up a second data file, wherein the second data file is created from a first data file. The computer determines whether a third data file satisfies one or more of predetermined conditions for backup; wherein the third data file is generated when the second data file is created from the first data file and the third data file comprises information for creating the second data file from the first data file. In response to determining that the third data file satisfies the one or more of the predetermined conditions for backup, the computer backs up the third data file, without backing up the second data file.

Abstract: A consumable composition may include naringenin at concentrations suitable to improve certain characteristics of the composition. Naringenin may, for example, be added to a composition or included in a sweetening composition that may be added therein to adjust sweetness attributes. For example, beverages that include one or more steviol glycosides may typically be deficient in upfront sweetness, and naringenin may be added therein to improve the temporal profile of sweetness delivery.

The method also includes mapping a partition of a plurality of partitions to a set of physical storage pools, where each physical storage pool of the set of physical storage pools is located in a different availability zone, and the storage nodes within an availability zone are subject to a correlated loss of access to stored data. The method further includes receiving a data management request over the network, the data management request being associated with a data object. The method also includes identifying a first partition of the plurality of partitions corresponding to the received data management request and manipulating the data object in the physical storage pools mapped to the first partition in accordance with the data management request.

Abstract: In a method for table statistics update, in response to a request to modify a row in a target table, a database management system inspects a log record for the modified row in the target table, determines that the target table is configured for continuous statistics evaluation, and determines whether a mini-bin related to the modified row exists. When the mini-bin related to the modified row does not exist, the database management system creates the mini-bin. When the mini-bin related to the modified row exists, the database management system aggregates the modified row into the mini-bin, and when the mini-bin is determined to have reached a threshold size, stores the mini-bin to a disk. The database management system then consolidates a plurality of mini-bins stored in the disk and corresponding to the target table into a set of bins.

Abstract: To provide effective use from a yeast extract residue, an excess of which is produced as a byproduct of yeast extract, or reduction in amount of the yeast extract residue. Also to obtain various useful substances. A cell wall lytic enzyme having no protease is allowed to act on a yeast extract residue, after which a heat treatment is performed at 70 to 80° C. for 10 to 20 minutes, thereby enabling separation into a fraction of primarily cell walls and a fraction of primarily protein. A yeast protein having a protein content of 60% or more is obtained from the fraction of primarily protein and, by subjecting the yeast protein to enzymatic degradation, a seasoning having a high amount of total nitrogen is obtained.

Abstract: A method of preparing a less sodium food product involves forming a reaction mixture of one or more of liquid sodium potassium hydrogen phosphate and liquid sodium dipotassium phosphate and combining a food ingredient with the emulsifying salt mixture. A reduced sodium process cheese product is formed of a sol to gel conversion fat stabilized via a hydrated protein matrix by a combination of potassium caseinate and sodium caseinate in which the caseinates are derived from an emulsifying salt mixture of liquid sodium potassium hydrogen phosphate and liquid sodium dipotassium phosphate, which, prior to reaction, accounts for at least about 2.5 and up to about 8.32 percent by weight of a total weight of the process cheese product. The emulsifying salt mixture formed of the reaction mixture remains in solution at ambient conditions for at least two weeks prior to incorporation with a food ingredient.

Abstract: SQL queries are optimized to operate directly on compressed data (and obtain the correct result) rather than requiring that the data be first decompressed prior to processing a query. Certain characteristic pattern trees are mapped against a logical input query plan that includes certain logical operators such as a DECOMPRESS that precedes a JOIN or a GROUPBY in association with a COUNT to identify instances in the plan that match a characteristic pattern. Upon locating a match, the input query plan is transformed into a logically equivalent plan that operates correctly on compressed data, by analyzing the interplay of the semantics of logical query operations with the compressed data and substituting less costly structures and operations. DECOMPRESS operations are moved to operate subsequent to a JOIN or eliminated altogether, and COUNT operations are replaced by a different operation, such as SUM, that is logically equivalent for compressed data.
