  • DE-DUPLICATING COMBINED CONTENT
    Publication number: 20160092940
    Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for de-duplicating and serving a combined content feed are provided. The combined content includes items of two or more classes, such as sponsored and unsponsored, wherein some or all unsponsored content items may be sponsored. A feed service obtains sponsored and unsponsored items suitable for a user to whom the combined content feed is to be served. The service determines whether an item is duplicated among the multiple classes. If so, a distance between the duplicates is calculated (within the feed). If the distance is less than a first threshold, one of them is discarded and may or may not be replaced. A decision regarding which to eject may depend upon which version (e.g., sponsored or unsponsored) is positioned earlier in the feed, whether the duplicates are also less than a second threshold apart (which is lower than the first threshold), and/or other factors.

  • METHODS FOR PLANT TRANSFORMATION
    Publication number: 20160090602
    Abstract: This invention relates to methods for the transformation of Brachypodium sp. and transformed plants produced according to the method. Specifically, this invention relates to direct transformation of callus derived from immature embryos using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, and plants regenerated from the transformed callus tissue. The methods comprise utilizing Brachypodium sp. immature embryos as the source of plant material for callus induction; induced calli can be infected by Agrobacterium hosting an appropriate binary vector. Transgenic plants are regenerated from transgenic calli grown under conditions favoring growth of transformed cells while substantially inhibiting growth of non-transformed cells. These methods provide for significantly increased plant transformation efficiency with minimal ratio of escapes.
