Abstract: A method of queue design for data storage and management applies RAM data synchronization technology on many distributed nodes, both ensures storage performance and solves the problem of data loss in the system operation process; performs business separation and parallelize actions to optimize processing performance; uses simply extracted information instead of accessing the original information helps to speed up the processing ability and promptly detect events that exceed the threshold; allocates a fixed memory for the queue to ensure the safety of the whole system; in addition, provides monitoring and early warning of possible incidents. The method includes: step 1: build a deployment model; step 2: initialize the values when the application first launches; step 3: process write data to the queue; step 4: detect the threshold and process the data in the queue; step 5: remove processed data from the queue; step 6: monitor queue and early warn.

Abstract: Vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSVG) can both load protein cargo onto exosomes and increase their delivery ability via a pseudotyping mechanism. By fusing a set of fluorescent and luminescent reporters with VSVG, we show the successful targeting and incorporation of VSVG fusions into exosomes by gene transfection and fluorescence tracking. VSVG pseudotyping of exosomes does not affect the size or distributions of the exosomes, and both the full-length VSVG and the VSVG without the ectodomain integrate into the exosomal membrane, suggesting that the ectodomain is not required for protein loading. Finally, exosomes pseudotyped with full-length VSVG are internalized by multiple-recipient cell types to a greater degree compared to exosomes loaded with VSVG without the ectodomain, confirming a role of the ectodomain in cell tropism.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to verifying the accessibility and functionality of an online service and to scheduling the automatic execution of an online service. In one scenario, a computer system receives online service workflows and corresponding expected outcomes for each workflow. Each online service workflow is associated with an online service, and each online service workflow includes workflow steps that cause the online service to perform specified operations that produce observable outcomes within a specified amount of time specified by the online service provider. The computer system executes at least one of the received online service workflows and abandons execution of the online service workflow if execution is not completed within the specified amount of time. The computer system also compares the outcomes of the workflow execution to the expected outcomes corresponding to the executed online service workflow and generates a report that includes the results of the comparison.

Abstract: An online service that allows multiple users to share electronic documents over a computer network. Each user may access the online system after specifying the user's credentials, after which the user may view the user interface specific to that user. The user interface may contain multiple panes, such as a navigation pane and a work pane. The navigation pane may list files owned by the user and may also list files shared with the user by other users. A user may select a file in the navigation pane to view the contents of the file in the work pane. A user may also select a file to share with other users, and the shared file will automatically appear in the other users' interfaces. A user may additionally share a file with a user not registered with the system, and the unregistered user may access the file through a generic interface or may register and then view the file.
