Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques and solutions for executing requests for database operations involving a remote data source in a system that includes an anchor node and one or more non-anchor nodes. A first request for one or more database operations is received, where at least a first database operation includes a data request for a remote data object. It is determined that the first database operation is not an insert, delete, or update operation, and therefore is assignable to the anchor node or one of the non-anchor nodes. The first database operation is assigned to a non-anchor node for execution. In a particular implementation, for a particular set of requests for a database operation, once an insert, delete, or update operation is received for the remote data object, subsequent operations for the remote data object in the set of requests are assigned to the anchor node for execution.

Abstract: A high-strength hyaluronate fiber, suitable for use in a surgical suture, a lifting thread, a tissue-engineering scaffold, etc., and a manufacturing method thereof are proposed. The method includes (a) controlling a water content of a hyaluronate having a weight average molecular weight of 100-3,000 kDa to 50-95 wt % to prepare a hyaluronate paste, (b) melting the hyaluronate paste having a controlled water content at a temperature ranging from room temperature to 100° C., and then extruding the hyaluronate paste through a nozzle, and (c) drying the extruded spinning fluid to form a fiber. The hyaluronate fiber has the water content of 5-25 wt %, the tensile strength of 3 to 15 kg/mm2, and a smooth surface with small cracks, so that the hyaluronate fiber can be used for a surgical suture, a lifting thread, a filler for cosmetic surgery, a tissue-engineering scaffold, etc.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a hyaluronate film and a hyaluronate film manufactured thereby, and more particularly to a method of manufacturing a hyaluronate film through a solvent-casting process or using an automatic film applicator that facilitates mass production and to a hyaluronate film manufactured thereby, which is useful as a mask pack for cosmetics, a patch for medicaments and medical devices, a film-type adhesion inhibitor, etc. Unlike conventional liquid products, the hyaluronate film according to the present invention has a dry surface and thus entails no concern about microbial contamination, is easy to produce/manage/distribute/use, and has superior mechanical properties, whereby it can be utilized for various applications such as packs, patches, artificial skin and the like for cosmetics, medicaments, and medical devices.
