Abstract: Embodiments are directed to automatically controlling network and service quality across datacenters. In one scenario, a computer system identifies portions of work that are to be performed within the datacenter. The computer system creates a request for change (request) in a change management system, where the change management system is configured to store and manage the implementation of requests within the datacenter. Then, upon implementation of the created request, the computer system polls the status of the request to determine whether the portions of work identified in the request can now be performed and, upon determining that the portions of work identified in the request can be performed, the computer system performs the portions of work according to the request. Performance of the specified work according to a request allows for workflows to be controlled based on the request.

Abstract: A method for preparing a printing form and a method of printing are disclosed. A coating of a radiation sensitive ink on a lithographic support having a hydrophilic surface is imaged. The unexposed areas of the coating are removed to produce a printing form, which is used for printing. Preferably, the same radiation sensitive ink is used for printing as is used in the coating, and, preferably, the desired printing run length is predetermined and the thickness of the coating determined according to the desired run length.

Abstract: A composition and method for the treatment of snoring comprising an effective amount of discorea villosa and zingiber officinale in a physiologically acceptable carrier, to be administered in the form of nasal drops or spray in the nasal passages of a subject prior to sleep.

Abstract: A developing fluid for positive-acting, negative-acting and reversible lithographic printing plates comprises a metasilicate as alkali together with an ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block copolymer and, optionally, sodium tetraborate, a phosphate ester, and anti-foaming agent and a water-softening or sequestering agent. The fluid has a high alkali content for reducing the need for frequent replenishment while at the same time minimizing damage to the image particularly in negative and reversed plates and avoiding unacceptable foaming and turbidity.
