Abstract: A schema for a dataset is identified by identifying a dataset comprising data and relationships between data pairs. An original schema is identified for the dataset. This original schema comprises an organizational structure. An initial fit between the dataset and the original schema is determined. The initial fit quantifying a conformity of the data in the dataset to the organizational structure of the original schema. A plurality of additional schemas are identified. Each additional schema is a distinct organizational schema. The dataset is partitioned into a plurality of subsets. Each subset comprises a modified fit quantifying a modified conformity of subset data in each subset to one of the original schema and the additional schemas. The modified fit is greater than the original fit.

Abstract: Novel metabolites and enzymes involved in skatole metabolism are disclosed. The novel metabolites are 3-OH-3-methylindolenine (HMI); 3-methyloxindole (3MOI); indole-3-carbinol (I-3C); and 2-aminoacetophenone (2-AM). Measuring levels of these metabolites in a pig may be useful in identifying the pig's ability to metabolize skatole and its susceptibility to boar taint. The novel enzymes involved in skatole metabolism are aldehyde oxidase and CYP2A6. Enhancing the activity of these enzymes may be useful in enhancing skatole metabolism and reducing boar taint. The identification of the enzyme also allows the development of screening assays for substances that interact with these enzymes and skatole metabolism or for genetic screening to identify pigs on the basis of their skatole metabolism. Pigs having high levels of these enzymes may be selected and bred to produce pigs that have a lower incidence of boar taint.

Abstract: A bag for storing products such as powdered or granular detergent, pet food, coffee, cereal etc., has a line of weakness for easy opening. The bag also has a means for re-closing after initial opening by the user.

Abstract: An on-line and/or batch process to obtain a liquid mixture consisting of coal/asphaltenes-fuel oil/heavy crude oil-surfactant-water, through dispersion of a coal-water mixture, using a mechanical element defined as a static mixer or a tank with shaking.
