Abstract: A system and method are provided for managing creation of data objects, for example in a network or big data environment. A method comprises: receiving, at a processor, a data object creation command for creating the data object; comparing, at the processor, at least one data object creation parameter with a stored data object creation standard; and initiating creation of the data object in response to the data object creation parameter matching a corresponding parameter in the stored data object creation standard. The data object creation command can be modified to meet the stored data object creation standard, and to change an associated permission level. Embodiments of the present disclosure encapsulate standards defining how to create a data object, such that it is no longer necessary to have a person to make sure that these standards are followed, and automate management of object creation while ensuring conformity to organizational standards.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for coordinating data ingestion and workflow. In an implementation, the method includes: obtaining, at a processor, a plurality of data ingestion jobs; identifying, based on a stored batching factor, a subset of the plurality of data ingestion jobs to be grouped together; performing batch processing of the subset of data ingestion jobs together in a single shell action; and creating a workflow schedule based on the single shell action comprising the batched data ingestion jobs. The present disclosure advantageously provides batch processing of data ingestion jobs themselves, in contrast to existing approaches which may use data ingestion jobs to perform batch processing on underlying data. The data ingestion jobs can be Sqoop jobs, or in other formats or using other approaches such as through Kafka, Flume or Spark.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cultivation medium characterized in that it is made by defibration of a bark-based composition comprising at least 70% by volume of bark, said cultivation medium having water availability that is greater than or equal to 250 mL/L.

Abstract: Wood chips are fed into a sheath containing two parallel screws that mesh with each other, their respective threads having, at least an upstream series of segments and a downstream series of segments, each of which comprises a drive upstream zone in which the chips are driven downstream and a braking downstream zone through which the chips are forced, the chips thus being driven through the sheath while being braked in the braking zones and while being transformed into fibers. The transit time for which the chips remain in the sheath lies in the range 1.5 s to 80 s, and provision is made for the pressure to be at least substantially equal to 90 bars upstream from the braking zone of the upstream series, so that a temperature lying in the range 120° to 150° C. is reached inside the sheath (10) without supplying external heat.

Abstract: The installation comprises a defibration sheath with an inlet for wood chips, an outlet for fibers, and two parallel rotative screws. The screws mesh with each other via their respective threads, which have at least an upstream and a downstream series of segments, with a drive upstream zone having forward threads, and a braking downstream zone having reverse threads with notches that are smaller in the braking downstream zone of the downstream series than in the braking downstream zone of the upstream series. The number of notches per thread in each braking zone is 2 to 6, and the section-to-output ratio RSO of the sum of the sections of the notches of a thread of the braking downstream zone of the downstream series to the fiber output rate is 60 mm2/m3h?1 to 80 mm2/m3h?1.
