Abstract: The present disclosure concerns new isolated strains of the fungus Hypholoma spp. useful as a biological control agent for the reduction of Armillaria Root Disease on woody plants. The isolated strains, delivering medium comprising said a culture of said strains and/or mycelium derived from said strains may be applied to stumps and roots of woody plants in managed natural forests, plantations and orchards to reduce the incidence and impacts of Armillaria Root Disease.

Abstract: Query-based routing of database requests is disclosed. In various embodiments, a database request is received via a communication interface. The request is parsed to extract one or more data elements associated with the request. Based at least in part on the one or more data elements extracted from the request, a selected one of a plurality of partial data set instances is selected, each partial data set instance including a corresponding subset of data from a set of origin data. The request is routed to the selected partial data set instance.

Abstract: Optimized distribute database access techniques are disclosed. In various embodiments, a database request is received via a communication interface. The request is serviced using a corresponding one of a plurality of partial data set instances, each partial data set instance including a corresponding subset of data from a set of origin data, the partial data set instance used to service the request having an attribute, different from a corresponding attribute of one or more other of the plurality of partial data set instances, the attribute being associated with optimal servicing of the request by the partial data set instance used to service the request relative to said one or more other of the plurality of partial data set instances.

Abstract: A water delivery device is described which includes an outlet pipe through which water is ejected to provide a water display. A disk is positioned relative to the outlet pipe. The relative positions of the disk and outlet pipe are moved so that the disk is located within the outlet pipe or above it to alter the appearance of the water leaving the outlet pipe. As the relative position of the disk and outlet pipe varies, a sequence of water expressions is provided.

Abstract: A technique for query optimization includes determining that a query is associated with the query object, obtaining persistently-stored query response information associated with the query object, and using the persistently-stored query response information to generate a response to the query. The query optimization can be continuously performed.

Abstract: Devices and methods in a configurable human machine interface (HMI) for multiple vehicle display devices are disclosed. An example of the method includes, in the HMI control unit for a plurality of vehicular display devices, receiving action input data from a configurable application input module in a first operational mode. In the first operational mode a first vehicular display device operates as a master vehicular display device relative to a second vehicular display device. The second vehicular display device is mirrored to the first vehicular display device. When action input data indicates a transition from the first operational mode to a second operational mode, the method continues by generating a control message based on the action input data.
