Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for calculating a summary statistic. Calculating the summary statistic can be performed by identifying multiple subsets of a set of variable observations and assigning the subsets to grid-computing devices such that no two of the subsets are assigned to a same one of the grid-computing devices. A parallel processing operation that involves multiple processing phases at each of the grid-computing devices is then coordinated. The parallel processing operation includes each of the grid-computing devices inventorying the respectively assigned subset and generating inventory information representative of the respectively assigned subset. Subsequently, the inventory information generated by the grid-computing devices is received, and a summary statistic is determined by synthesizing the received inventory information.

Abstract: A method for producing L-lysine by fermentation comprises the steps of modifying an aconitase gene and/or regulatory element thereof in a chromosome of a bacterium so that the activity and/or the expression amount of the aconitase of the bacterium are reduced but not eliminated; and producing L-lysine by the fermentation of the modified bacterium. In addition, also provided are methods and uses derived from the method as well as bacteria used in these methods and uses.

Abstract: The present invention provides an external preparation and the method for produce the same, in which said external preparation comprises recombinant human growth hormone or recombinant human granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor and pharmaceutical acceptable carriers. The present invention also relates to application and usage method in preparing medicaments for treatment of various lesions and ulcers, especially corneal lesions and corneal ulcers.

Abstract: A well screen (101) having a base pipe (103), a filter layer (105) arranged around the base pipe (103), and a discrete mesh outer standoff layer (107) arranged around the filter layer (105) in a first spiral wrap (109) is provided. The first spiral wrap (109) comprises a first succession of loops such that a trailing edge of a next one of the first succession of loops is in contact, or in overlap, with a leading edge of a previous one of the first succession of loops; and to produce a compressive force on the filter layer (105) radially towards the base pipe (103).
