Abstract: Silaanthracene compounds and methods of producing silaanthracene compounds, in particular silaanthracene fluorophores for use as red or near infrared sensors, probes, dyes, and tags are provided.

Abstract: Metering real time service data includes advertising a promotion through an advertising medium, collecting usage metrics of the promotion, and presenting a real time report based on the usage metrics.

Abstract: Methods for conveying pathogen resistance into non-resistant soybean germplasm are provided. In some embodiments, the methods include introgressing pathogen resistance into a non-resistant soybean using one or more nucleic acid markers for marker-assisted breeding among soybean lines to be used in a soybean breeding program, wherein the markers are linked to and/or associated with pathogen resistance. Also provided are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with resistance to pathogens; soybean plants, seeds, and tissue cultures produced by any of the disclosed methods; seed produced by the disclosed soybean plants; and compositions including amplification primer pairs capable of initiating DNA polymerization by a DNA polymerase on soybean nucleic acid templates to generate soybean marker amplicons.

Abstract: A system and method for deploying a document classification system include deploying a document classification system with a first classification engine configuration, and thereafter, automatically redeploying the document classification system with a second classification engine configuration in response to a cost function.

Abstract: Corn oil and corn meal obtained from high oil corn are included in useful products. The corn oil is extracted from the high oil corn to form the corn meal. The corn oil generally comprises levels of nutrients not found in commercially available corn oils, since most or all of the corn grain, rather than just the germ, is exposed to the extraction process. The corn grain generally includes the steps of flaking corn grain having a total oil content of at least about 8% and extracting a corn oil from the flaked corn grain. The corn oil is useful for making nutritionally enhanced edible oil or cooking oil, lubricants, biodiesel, fuel, cosmetics and oil-based or oil-containing chemical products. The extracted corn meal is useful for making enhanced animal feed rations, snack food, blended food products, cosmetics, and fermentation broth additive.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a chemical process for modifying inorganic and organic substrates with thin polymer films that are grafted to a substrate. The preferred composition includes a dimethylamino terminated precursor that is deposited as a self-assembled monolayer onto a gold or silicon oxide, or other substrate. The polymerization is then initiated by irradiation with UV light in the presence of monomer and an optional photosensitizer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of segmenting a market for a grain by manipulating one or more phenotypic characteristics of the grain. The phenotypic characteristics include oil content, pigmentation potential, iodine value, and linoleic acid content.

Abstract: Various system, methods, and programs embodied in a computer-readable medium are provided for the auditing of print jobs in a network. In one representative embodiment, the network includes a client that originates a print job for printing and a printer in data communication with the client that it employed to print the print job. In addition, a print job aggregator is in data communication with the client and the printer. The client originates a print job for printing and the print job includes parametric data associated with the print job. A client agent is executed in the client to provide a first report of the parametric data associated with the print job to the print job aggregator before the print job is transmitted to the printer. A printer agent is executed in the printer to provide a second report of the parametric data associated with the print job to the print job aggregator after the print job has been completed.
