Abstract: A composite solution for enhancing induced disease resistance of lentinan (LNT) to a plant, a preparation method of the composite solution, and a method for enhancing induced disease resistance of LNT to a plant are provided. The composite solution for enhancing induced disease resistance of LNT to a plant includes: an LNT-containing solution and an SPc-containing solution, where SPc is a dendritic macromolecule functionalized by an amino functional group, and has a structural formula shown in formula I, where n=1 to 100. An LNT/SPc complex is produced in the composite solution. SPc spontaneously combines with LNT through hydrogen bonding, such that an agglomerate structure formed by LNT in an aqueous solution is broken and reduced to a nano-scale particle size, and a spherical particle is produced, which can significantly reduce a contact angle of the LNT aqueous solution, and promote the distribution and diffusion of LNT.

Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a resource scheduling method performed at a scheduling server. Virtual machine (VM) information of a to-be-created VM is obtained and common resource information is obtained. A preset resource information private copy is updated according to the common resource information. The resource information private copy includes host machine information corresponding to a preset host machine. Finally, according to the resource information private copy, at least one candidate host machine meeting the VM information is obtained, a target host machine is obtained from the at least one candidate host machine, and the VM is created on the target host machine. In the solution, the resource information private copy can be updated in time before the resource scheduling is performed, which ensures synchronization of the resource information private copy and the common resource information, so that a better resource scheduling result is achieved.

Abstract: A traffic optimizer facilitates communication of data packets using a unicast protocol between a server and at least one of a plurality of clients through a multicast network. The traffic optimizer includes a communication processor and a packet processor. The communication processor receives both data including association data and the data packets using the unicast protocol from the server. The association data includes IP addresses of the server and IP addresses of at least one of a plurality of clients available for communication. The packet processor processes the data packets to optimize data transfer in response to an analysis of the data packets, and forwards the processed data packets to at least one of the plurality of clients at respective ones of the received IP addresses through a multicast network using the unicast protocol.
