Abstract: A method includes receiving analytics data from a first plurality of network components of a stream network. The analytics data is associated with the first plurality of network components streaming first chunks of a first live stream. The method also includes determining a network parameter based on the analytics data. The network parameter includes one or more live stream parameters, a distribution plan, or a combination thereof. The method further includes reconfiguring, based on the network parameter, at least a first network component of the first plurality of network components. Second chunks of the first live stream are streamed by a second plurality of network components subsequent to the reconfiguring of the first network component.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel retroelement, named “Steamer”, found in mollusks, more specifically Mya arenaria, that is associated with haemic neoplasia in these organisms. Haemic neoplasia (HN) is a recognizable leukemic-like disease. The invention provides the retroelement protein, antibodies to the protein, nucleic acids encoding the protein, probes, primer, gene constructs comprising the nucleic acids, host cells comprising the nucleic acids, and methods of using.
