Abstract: An optical imaging lens may include a first, a second, a third, a fourth, a fifth, a sixth, a seventh, and an eighth lens elements positioned in an order from an object side to an image side. Through designing concave and/or convex surfaces of each lens elements, the optical imaging lens may provide improved imaging quality and optical characteristics, reduced length of the optical imaging lens and increased field of view while the optical imaging lens may satisfy at least one inequality.

Abstract: In a logging identification method for a small fault based on stress anisotropy and crustal stress types, a magnitude and direction of a current crustal stress are determined by means of logging calculation of the crustal stress, and a transformation location of a crustal stress type is determined; a development location of the small fault is determined according to the transformation location of the crustal stress type; and an included angle between the current crustal stress and the fault is determined according to an amplitude of variation of stress anisotropy. The present disclosure provides the logging identification method for a small fault based on stress anisotropy and crustal stress types. According to the method, prediction cost is low, operability is high, and a prediction result has a reference value for guiding exploration and development of a complex oil and gas reservoir and construction of a gas storage.

Abstract: A multi-tenant system provides software-updating functionality that selectively updates tenant systems according to a number of different factors. In some embodiments, the factors include evaluation of “health metrics” that quantify how well tenant systems are functioning after an update of software components to the latest version, policies specified by either the tenants or the multi-tenant system (or both), and/or “kill switches” specified by the multi-tenant system that prevent updating, as some examples.

Abstract: Displaying a hierarchy. A method includes identifying a set of nodes representing sites in a hierarchy. The set of nodes share one or more common characteristics not shared by any other nodes in the hierarchy. The method further includes determining that the set of nodes, as a set, meet a predetermined condition. As a result of the nodes sharing the one or more common characteristics not shared by any other nodes in the hierarchy and as a result of the set meeting the predetermined condition, the method further includes aggregating at least a portion of the set of nodes. The method further includes displaying in a graphical user interface a representation of the hierarchy including displaying the aggregated portion as a single entity in the hierarchy.

Abstract: Granular inventory management with conflict resolution at a target is provided. A client receives inventory management requests, as default settings and/or from a server. Each request includes action instance(s), which have an action key, action type, action detail(s), a precedence, and a sequence number. The client identifies a conflict if two instances have the same action type but incompatible detail(s). The client resolves the conflict, based on precedence and sometimes also on sequence numbers. The client performs the resulting action instance(s), and results are sent back for inclusion in an inventory report. Action details may specify a schedule for recurring actions. A precedence may be specified by an administrator or be built-in. Default and other requests may be defined by viewing inventory classes in a graphical user interface, entering an action based on inventory class(es), and entering target device group selection(s). Inventory classes may be captured from a live system.

Abstract: It is possible to radiosensitize tumor cells by administration of compositions containing the Human antisense c-raf-1 oligodeoxyribonucleotide (ODN/oligo) sequence: 5?-GTGCTCCATTGATGC-3? (SEQ. ID. NO: 1) wherein only the end bases are phosphorothioated is a preferred embodiment. Antisense sequences of up to 40 bases which contain this sequence, such as 5?-CCTGTATGTGCTCCATTGATGCAGC-3? (SEQ ID NO: 2) may be used in accord with the teachings of this disclosure. Compositions comprising a cationic liposome of dimethyldioctadecyl ammonium bromide, phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol may be used as a carrier system. The liposomes provide a new carrier system that is particularly useful for administration of sequences for therapy.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel cationic lipid formulations and use thereof for treatment of cancer, especially in combination with radiation.
