Abstract: Method, systems and apparatuses provides for technology that provides a decentralized network. The technology includes a managing node that generates a list of a plurality of compute nodes that are within a tier. The technology further includes a first compute node providing compute resources for other nodes to utilize. The first compute node conducts a determination that the first compute node is within the tier based at least in part on the compute resources, and sends a notification to the managing node to add the first compute node to the list based on the determination. The technology also includes a client node conducting an identification of the tier based on a compute capacity that is predicted to be utilized to execute one or more tasks associated with the client node. The client node identifies the managing node based on the identification and requests the list from the managing node.

Abstract: A system, a method and computer-readable media for managing content received over a network by a client device. A network transmission communicating an item of content is detected by a client device, and a determination is made whether the client device is in a mode of operation that allows the storing of uninvited media content. For example, the client device may be a mobile communication device monitoring the media being transmitted over a broadcast channel. When an item of content is observed traversing the broadcast channel, a set of user-defined preferences is accessed to determine whether to permit receiving the item. If permitted, the item of content is stored in a data store on the client device for subsequent presentation to the user.

Abstract: A system, a method and computer-readable media for distributing content to client devices over a network. Various items of content are stored in the network or available through the network such that a client device may request to receive an item of content over the network. The method selects items of content by anticipating which of the items users will request. The selected items of content are transmitted over the network in a group delivery to multiple client devices.

Abstract: A method for characterizing performance of an error correction scheme for digital data transport is provided. A digital data packet stream within an Internet Protocol packet stream is monitored for a first set of packet errors. Errors of the Internet Protocol packet stream are corrected according to the error correction scheme to produce a corrected Internet Protocol packet stream. The digital data packet stream within the corrected Internet Protocol packet stream is monitored for a second set of packet errors. The first and second sets of packet errors are compared to characterize the performance of the error correction scheme.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the process for the recovery of conjugated isoflavones of residues and sub-products of food industries based on the use of soy and its derivatives. It also concerns of isoflavones obtained from food composition containing isoflavones and from the fungus genetically modified used in this process, Aspergillus oryzae ATCC 22786 (RIB 430). More specifically, the present invention concerns of a process of conversion of conjugated isoflavones, in the form of isoflavone malonate and acetates, in glucosylated isoflavones, which through fermentative and enzymatic processes are transformed into aglycone isoflavones. The products obtained in this process, pass to show a promising therapeutic as nutritive application as previously described, and may be used as a functional food or as a functional ingredient.

Abstract: Methods and systems for optimizing a solution set. A solution set is generated, and solutions in the solution set are evaluated. Desirable solutions from the solution set are selected. A structural model is created using the desirable solutions, and a surrogate fitness model is created based on the structural model and the desirable solutions. A new solution set may be generated and/or evaluated, based on analyzing at least one of the structural model and the surrogate fitness model, and determining a method for generating a new solution set and/or evaluating the new solution set based at least in part on the analyzing.
