This invention also provides transgenic plants and progeny seed comprising the transgenic plant cells where the plants are selected for having an enhanced trait selected from the group of traits consisting of enhanced water use efficiency, enhanced cold tolerance, increased yield, enhanced nitrogen use efficiency, enhanced seed protein and enhanced seed oil.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a method of migrating a virtual machine. The method comprises replicating a source storage device corresponding to the virtual machine to a target storage device through replication links. The method also comprises receiving a migration state that indicates initiation of a migration of the virtual machine from a source server to a target server. The method also comprises collecting storage system status information of the source storage device and storing the storage system status information to a persistent store accessible to the target server. The method also comprises sending memory states and central processing unit (CPU) states to the target server through a communications network. The method also comprises performing a failover of the virtual machine from the source server to the target server and from source storage device to target storage device.

Abstract: The present invention uses quantum interference of one and two photon absorption from a multiple color fields to optically inject ballistic spin currents in unbiased photoconductors. The spin currents can be generated with and without an accompanying electrical current and can be controlled using the relative phase of the colors. In one aspect of the there is provided a method of generating spin currents in a photoconductor material comprising producing a first coherent light beam having a first frequency &ohgr;1 and a second coherent light beam having a frequency twice the first frequency 2&ohgr;1, polarizing the first and second coherent light beams to have a preselected polarization with respect to each other, and simultaneously irradiating a selected region of the photoconductor material with the first coherent light beam and the second coherent light beam to generate a spin current in the photoconductor.
