Abstract: Technology for routing queries in a system with a plurality of nodes (for example online analytical processing sub-systems) where each node has an associated replicated local database and a local latency value and replication velocity values. The workload balancing for incoming received queries among and between the plurality of nodes is based, at least in part, on consideration of latency values and/or replication velocity values for the various nodes. The best node to handle a given query is thereby selected and the query is routed to the selected node for response.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for modifying a target site in the genome of a plant cell. Such modifications include integration of a transgene and mutations.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system include a processor(s) obtaining a query request from an application via a source database management system to a target database management system, where the query request comprises a query and a query timestamp indicating a last update to table(s) in the source database management system referenced in the query request. The processor(s) determines a table update timestamp indicating a last time when the table(s) in the source database management system referenced in the query request was replicated to the target database management system. The processor(s) generates an indicator where the indicator represent a difference between the query timestamp and the table update timestamp. The processor(s) executes the query in the target database management system. The processor(s) transmit a query result and the indicator to the source database management system.

Abstract: Conventional gene transformation requires tissue culture, and some elite lines have very low transformation efficiency in tissue culture. The disclosure relates to methods of in planta transformation. In some aspects, an axillary meristem of a plant is wounded and contacted with a transformation agent. The wounded axillary meristem is then regenerated and treated with a selection step, resulting in transformed tissue that can produce transgenic seeds.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and non-transitory computer program product for work assignment for parallelized database synchronization. Data changes to a source database are identified from a change log for the source database. The data changes are batched into data change chunks of data changes. An estimated processing cost for processing of each of the data change chunks to apply the data changes in the data change chunks to a target database is determined. A priority queue in which the data change chunks are identified in order of estimated processing cost is generated. Each data change chunk identified in the priority queue is assigned to a processing thread in a plurality of processing threads for processing in order by estimated processing cost from higher estimated processing cost to lower estimated processing cost to apply the data changes in the data change chunks to the target database.

Abstract: A method, system, and program product for enabling multiple source database coherency is provided. The method includes detecting an incoming query to be executed with respect to an accelerator server. An initial timestamp of the incoming query is analyzed and additional timestamps of database tables referenced by the incoming query are retrieved. It is determined that each timestamp of the additional timestamps is reached with respect to a corresponding replication engine and target data from the database tables is synchronized with source data of a source database. In response, the incoming query is accelerated for execution with respect to a target database management system.

Abstract: A liquid composition includes copper particles, an organic acid, and a solvent. The copper particle has a particle size of 0.5 ?m˜30 ?m which falls in a micron scale. The liquid composition performs reaction sintering by redox reactions taken place between the copper particles and an organic acid solution at a low temperature of 150° C. in order to produce a dense copper layer and improve the conventional micron-scale copper particles that requires a protective atmosphere for the high-temperature sintering before achieving the required densification. This liquid composition also prevents an excessive oxidation of the nano copper particles during the low-temperature sintering process and a failure of the dense sintering. Due to the agglomeration of nano copper particles, some areas have to be sintered first, so that the sintered products have a good uniformity of tissue and a low resistance below 0.04 ohm per square (?/?).
