Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided methods and systems for facilitating efficient business rules management and data processing. A method of embodiments includes generating, at a first computing system, configuration settings to customize business rules to process data transactions. The business rules are processed by a business rules engine at a second computing system. The method includes customizing one or more business rules by applying one or more configuration settings to the one or more business rules, and facilitating the business rules engine residing on the second computing system to process one or more data transactions based on the one or more customized business rules. The one or more customized business rules guide processing of the one or more data transactions and provide information relating to how one or more business rules are matched with the one or more data transactions.

Abstract: A user agent residing within a remote client and configured to enforce message protocol policy is disclosed. The user agent includes a communications monitoring element that examines a communications connection between the client and an external message server to determine if the message server matches a restricted server attribute. The user agent also includes a communications controller element that works with the communications monitoring element to block communications between the client and the message server when the message server matches a restricted server attribute unless the communications are monitored by a protocol inspection gateway.

Abstract: The present invention provides a bentgrass ASR-368 plant and seed. Also provided are assays for detecting the presence of the bentgrass ASR-368 based on a DNA sequence and the use of this DNA sequence as a molecular marker in a DNA detection method.

Abstract: A method of packaging includes placing a restrainer on a package during processing. The method includes clipping the restrainer in place and then exposing the package to high temperatures. After processing the restrainer is removed. An alternative process attaches a component die to a substrate having a cavity in a first surface. The process may then include dispensing and curing an underfill material in the cavity, and attaching a lid to the first surface of the substrate.

The communications controller element is configured to work in conjunction with the communications monitoring element to block communications between the remote client and the external message server when the external message server matches a restricted server attribute unless the communications between the remote client and the external message server are monitored by a protocol inspection gateway.

Abstract: Method of initiating, proliferating, and regenerating embryogenic callus from immature inflorescence explants of St. Augustinegrass, and method of transforming and regenerating the embryogenic callus to produce transgenic St. Augustinegrass. The invention also encompasses St. Augustinegrass callus and adult plants produced by the method.

Abstract: The invention relates to DNA constructs and methods for producing transgenic glyphosate tolerant, dwarf turfgrass plants that contain these constructs. The invention also relates to the maintenance of the transgenic turfgrass stand.

Abstract: According to the present invention, the biological or pharmacological activity of a test material like a plant or herbal material, an extract of a plant or herbal material, a natural or synthetic compound or some combination thereof, can be quantified by observing the pattern of structural changes induced in a eukaryotic cell's proteins. These structural changes may be evidenced by protein phosphorylation, by protein-protein interactions and the like. The amount and nature of protein phosphorylation is qualitatively and quantitatively related to the in vitro concentration of biologically/pharmacologically active components to which the mammalian cells are exposed. Additionally, formation or loss of protein-protein complexes may be determined in whole cell homogenates through the use of nondenaturing electrophoresis and staining for proteins or protein phosphorylation.

Abstract: The invention provides transgenic plant tissue of the genus Poa (preferably Poa pratensis—Kentucky bluegrass—and Poa pratensis×Poa arachnifera—Texas hybrid) that stably expresses heterologous DNA (e.g., for resistance to herbicides such as glyphosate), produced by the transformation of novel embryogenic calli. The invention also comprises embryogenic calli that are particularly susceptible to transformation and regeneration as well as methods for using such calli to produce transgenic plants of the invention.

Abstract: Transgenic monocotyledonous plants are produced by inserting a foreign genetic material directly into a node segment of a stem of a plant and thereafter subjecting the node segment to conditions sufficient to permit regeneration of the node segment into a plantlet. Preferably, the genetic material is inserted by biolistic transformation, Agrobacterium, or direct DNA uptake mediated by electroporation. The process is especially useful for producing transgenic ryegrasses, fescues and turfgrasses, such as St. Augustinegrass, creeping bentgrass, Kentucky bluegrass, and the like.
