Abstract: An application disposition definition agent (ADDA) system intercepts runtime data generated by resources of a first platform when an application is executing in the first platform. The ADDA system discovers components of the application based on the intercepted runtime data. The ADDA system generates an application architecture that includes the discovered components of the application. The ADDA system identifies transactional behaviors of the components based on the intercepted runtime data. The ADDA system determines scalability and performance parameters of each discovered component based on the intercepted runtime data. The ADDA system generates an application architecture that includes the discovered components of the application, the transactional behaviors of the components, and the scalability and performance parameters of the components. The generated application architecture can be used to deploy the application in a second platform.

Abstract: Computer assets within a defined network are identified using scanning services respectively connected to each of a plurality of network zones within the defined network. A plurality of interne protocol (IP) addresses within the particular one of the network zones are identified by a particular scanning service contained within the particular one of the network zones. The particular scanning service collects information associated with each of the plurality of IP addresses and infers, using the collected information, additional information about the plurality of IP addresses. The particular scanning service validates the additional information and presents analytics based upon the collected information and the additional information. Firewalls contained within the particular one of the network zones are configured to allow access by the particular scanning service.

Abstract: A compound of formula (I) or a salt, solvate or prodrug thereof: wherein R1 and R4 are independently selected from C1-C5 alkyl, C1-C5 haloalkyl, C1-C5 alkenyl, C1-C5 haloalkenyl, C1-C5 alkynyl, C1-C5 haloalkynyl, C1-C5 alkoxy or C1-C5 haloalkoxy; R2 is an optionally substituted heteroaryl selected from optionally substituted tetrazolyl or optionally substituted imidazopyridinyl; and R3 is selected from H or optionally substituted alkyl.

Abstract: The present invention relates to xanthone analogs. Such compounds may be used in the treatment of bacterial infections.

Abstract: Nucleic acid sequence encoding Allium fistulosum leaf agglutinin (AFAL) is disclosed. The invention provides Allium fistulosum leaf agglutinin (AFAL) recombinant protein, its encoding nucleotides, primers and the process of preparation thereof, said recombinant protein is useful for insect control and haemagglutination activity. AFAL is found more toxic to sap sucking insect pest Aphis gossypii (cotton aphid) and Bemisia tabaci (whiteflies) as compared to known Allium sativum leaf agglutinin. AFAL can be used in the development of transgenic plants for resistance against sap sucking and chewing pests.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the synthesis of pregnane-oximino-aminoalkyl-ethers and their antidiabetic and antidyslipidemic activities. More particularly, the invention relates to the synthesis of compounds of formula 3 and biological profile thereof. Further the invention relates to compounds of formula 3 and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Abstract: An isolated peptide tetramer includes the formula [(RGRKVVRR)2K]2KK and its derivatives thereof. The derivatives may include at least one amino acid substitution, at least one amino acid deletion, a rearrangement of the peptide monomer and/or at least one non-proteogenic amino acid modification in at least one peptide monomer. The isolated peptide tetramer and derivatives thereof have antimicrobial (antibacterial, antifungal and/or anti-protozoan) properties.

Abstract: The present invention uses biometrics for the quantitative determination of software ease of use by collecting biometric data from a software user, identifying changes in the biometric data as the user uses the software, determining if the changes are indicative of software ease of use issues, and generating a signal as output if the changes are determined to be indicative of software ease of use issues. The sensors may be integrated into a computer mouse or other peripheral device with which the user comes in regular contact during use.

Abstract: An adaptive data replication and caching system configured to enforce service terms at the network edge. Service terms can include, but are not limited to established quality of service (QoS) terms, as well as the terms of a service level agreement (SLA). This system can include a data caching system configured to cache application data in a data store and to satisfy queries for application data from the cache. The system also can include a data replication system configured to replicate application data in the data store and to satisfy queries for application data against the replicated application data. Finally, the adaptive data replication and caching system can include a configurator for configuring portions of the data store for exclusive use by the data caching system and the data replication system based upon the service terms.

Abstract: A novel insecticidal chitinase protein from fern Tectaria sp., a process for preparation of the insecticidal protein and nucleic acid sequence encoding for said insecticidal protein and its application for insect control purposes.

Abstract: A system and method for configuring client access to a network includes at a first port, accessing a first server on a first local area network associated with the first port. An authorized local area network other than the first local area network is determined to which an authorized connection can be properly made based on information in a client request. The first port is assigned to the authorized local area network. Communications are handled with a new client configuration in the authorized local area network.
