Abstract: This application discloses electromagnetic energy mitigation assemblies and automotive vehicle components comprising the electromagnetic energy mitigation assemblies. An electromagnetic energy mitigation assembly includes a first electrically conductive layer and a second electrically conductive layer. First and second permalloy layers are along respective first and second opposite sides of the first electrically conductive layer. Third and fourth permalloy layers are along respective third and fourth opposite sides of the second electrically conductive layer. An electromagnetic noise suppression layer is sandwiched between the second and third permalloy layers. An automotive vehicle component includes an electromagnetic energy mitigation assembly configured to be positioned relative to one or more batteries of an automotive vehicle for providing electromagnetic shielding for the one or more batteries. The electromagnetic energy mitigation assembly includes a first electrically conductive layer.

Abstract: The invention provides for verifying correctness of a database system. A SQL instruction is received and access paths of the received SQL instruction are extended. The SQL instruction is executed by using the extended access paths, and the correctness of the database system is verified according to results of executing the SQL instruction. With the method and system of the invention, the object of verifying correctness of a database system by automatically extending access paths of SQL statement may be achieved, and the object of verifying correctness of a database system scientifically, effectively and purposefully based on ratio of error or defect present in database itself due to various data manipulation approaches (different values of access path elements) may also be achieved.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system, computer program product and method for database query optimization. An aspect includes a method that extracts complex predicates from a query statement, the query statement having at least two complex predicates. The method then executes a query associated with the query statement and obtains at least a respective execution structure cost (?Ti) for each of the complex predicates. The method also calculates an overall execution structure cost corresponding to each of the complex predicates, the complex predicates being arranged according to result of the query and the execution structure costs (?Ti); and optimizes a database query by selecting the arrangement of complex predicates having a lowest overall execution structure cost.

Abstract: Controlling a dump for a database by determining a state of a diagnosis flag associated with the structured query language (SQL) statement in response to a SQL statement being executed for the database. The diagnosis flag is used to indicate if a database dump should be performed. A database dump is performed for the SQL statement in response to determining that the diagnosis flag indicates that a dump is to be performed.

Abstract: Techniques for generating a set of one or more materialized query table (MQT) candidates for a workload are provided. The techniques include receiving a workload, wherein the workload comprises a set of one or more queries, generating one or more best matching MQTs (BMQTs) based on one or more query blocks of the one or more queries by removing syntax that is not qualified for a MQT re-write, determining one or more frequently used multi-joins in the workload, using the one or more BMQTs and the one or more frequently used multi-joins to generate a set of one or more workload MQTs (WMQTs), and grouping one or more WMQTs and one or more BMQTs into one or more groups to merge into a set of a smaller number of MQTs and to cover the workload.

Abstract: The invention provides polypeptides, polysaccharide-polypeptide conjugates, and expression vectors for treating or preventing pneumococcal infection. The compositions induce an anti-pneumococcal immune response when administered to a mammal. The compositions can be used prophylactically to vaccinate an individual and/or therapeutically to induce a therapeutic immune response in an infected individual.
