Abstract: In accordance with the described techniques, a system includes a plurality of compute nodes including a management node and a plurality of execution nodes. A processor of the management node is configured to read efficiency metrics associated with respective execution nodes of the plurality of execution nodes from one or more registers of the management node. Based on the efficiency metrics, the processor distributes software processes among the plurality of execution nodes for execution.

Abstract: An anti-aging cosmetic composition including resveratrol and/or a derivative of resveratrol in combination with honokiol and/or magnolol. These molecules can be obtained from plant extracts. Both honokiol and magnolol are present in magnolia bark. A cosmetic treatment method is related including the application to the skin or skin appendages of the cosmetic composition.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for the capture of nucleic acids, for example by using a nucleic acid-guided nuclease-based system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic use of an association of (i) resveratrol or a derivative thereof and (ii) betaine or a derivative thereof, or of a composition containing said association in a physiologically acceptable medium, to fight against the signs of ageing of the skin.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for the capture of nucleic acids, for example by using a nucleic acid-guided nuclease-based system.

Abstract: Compositions allowing the stimulation of hyaluronic acid synthesis via an increase in has-2 expression and their use in the treatment of conditions related to a decrease in hyaluronic acid synthesis.

Abstract: A method of rendering content items on a display via an electronic device involves mapping linked content items to a three-dimensional object defined by layout data. The layout data is then transmitted to an electronic device for display.

Abstract: Provided herein are sirtuin-modulating compounds and methods of use thereof. The sirtuin-modulating compounds may be used for increasing the lifespan of a cell, and treating and/or preventing a wide variety of diseases and disorders including, for example, diseases or disorders related to aging or stress, diabetes, obesity, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disease, blood clotting disorders, inflammation, cancer, and/or flushing. Also provided are compositions comprising a sirtuin-modulating compound in combination with another therapeutic agent.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating diagnosis and product identification for patients requiring continence products. Embodiments of the invention have been particularly developed there by to provide a software application (for example an iOS or Android application) thereby to assist a clinician and/or patient in identifying appropriate continence products for a given set of patient requirements. While some embodiments will be described herein with particular reference to that application, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to such a field of use, and is applicable in broader contexts.

Abstract: A dental implant comprising an implant body which has an asymmetric root portion receivable in an asymmetric open root cavity of the patient and engagement means on the asymmetric root portion to at least in part engage a surface of the root cavity so as to prevent or inhibit unintentional extraction. The asymmetric root portion is complementarily shaped to fit the said asymmetric open root cavity, thus substantially dispensing with the need for protracted preparation of the root cavity and providing substantially immediate stability for the prosthetic tooth.

Abstract: A spherical object is disclosed provided with a map substantial covering its entire surface wherein the map represents only a portion of the Earth such as a town, city, district, county, state or country. A label is also disclosed provided comprising a series of biconvex shapes which collectively describe such a map.

Abstract: The determination of wax crystal particle size and population is used to monitor the performance of wax crystallizers used in lubricant oil processing using solvent dewaxing. The wax crystal particle size is monitored using online measurements. The information obtained from on-line monitoring is then used to control crystallization in the dewaxing equipment in order to optimize performance of the dewaxing units.

Abstract: A technique is provided for classifying images in a library (1) for subsequent selective retrieval. Each library image is segmented (2) into a plurality of coherent regions. Each of the regions is analysed in respect of a plurality of visual properties, each of which is ascribed a number according to the value of the visual property. The property numbers are then compared (4) with bands of the available property range and a computer-readable character, such as a letter of the alphabet, is ascribed to each of the property values. The characters are then arranged (5) in a predetermined order to form a region character string. The strings for each region are then indexed (7) to form an index (8) of the images by region character string. For image retrieval, a target image (10) is analysed in the same way to form region character strings which are then supplied to a text retrieval system (12) for detecting matches with entries in the index (8).

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for treating and/or preventing flushing and/or weight gain. Methods may comprise modulating the activity or level of a sirtuin, such as SIRT1 or Sir2. Exemplary embodiments include methods and compositions for counteracting drug-induced weight gain and/or drug-induced flushing by administering a sirtuin-activating compound.

Abstract: Provided herein are sirtuin-modulating compounds and methods of use thereof. The sirtuin-modulating compounds may be used for increasing the lifespan of a cell, and treating and/or preventing a wide variety of diseases and disorders including, for example, diseases or disorders related to aging or stress, diabetes, obesity, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disease, blood clotting disorders, inflammation, cancer, and/or flushing.
