Abstract: A device receives a packet, of multiple packets, relating to a file being delivered via multicast, and a file delivery table associated with the file. The file delivery table includes uniform resource identifiers corresponding to respective sources of the file. The device determines that one or more portions of the file, that are included in the packet, are in need of repair after receiving the packet. The device provides, to a respective source corresponding to a uniform resource identifier, a request for data relating to the one or more portions of the file based on determining that the one or more portions of the file are in need of repair, receives the data from the respective source based on the request, and processes the data to repair the one or more portions of the file while one or more other packets of the multiple packets are being received.

Abstract: Downhole fluid volumes of a geological formation may be estimated using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements, even in organic shale reservoirs. Multi-dimensional NMR measurements, such as two-dimensional NMR measurements and/or, in some cases, one or more well-logging measurements relating to total organic carbon may be used to estimate downhole fluid volumes of hydrocarbons such as bitumen, light hydrocarbon, kerogen, and/or water. Having identified the fluid volumes in this manner or any other suitable manner from the NMR measurements, a reservoir producibility index (RPI) may be generated. The downhole fluid volumes and/or the RPI may be output on a well log to enable an operator to make operational and strategic decisions for well production.

Abstract: A system and method for behavior influenced search ranking may include obtaining, via a network interface, a search term from a user device. An initial result including a first group of the user profiles may be generated based on user profiles from a social network in relation to the search term, the user profiles stored in a profile database. A rank of each of the first group of the user profiles may be determined based, at least in part, on interactions from an activity database corresponding to the first group of the user profiles, the activity database storing information indicative of activities related to the social network, the activities including the interactions. The user device may display a second group of the user profiles, including at least some of the first group of the user profiles, according to the rank of the first group of the user profiles.

Abstract: A method of estimating fluid saturations includes obtaining amplitude values of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data for a material, with each amplitude value being associated with a longitudinal magnetization recovery (T1 relaxation) time and a transverse magnetization decay (T2 relaxation) time. A mean is calculated as a function of the amplitude values and the T1 and T2 relaxation times for the amplitude values. Hydrocarbon saturation of pore space of the material is estimated as a function of the deviation of the mean from a threshold hydrocarbon saturation indicator and a threshold water saturation indicator, using the processor. Water saturation of the pore space of the material is estimated as a function of the deviation of the mean from the threshold hydrocarbon saturation indicator and the threshold water saturation indicator, using the processor.

Abstract: A system can monitor data usage, including an amount of searchable data used and/or a rate at which the searchable data is manipulated, on a storage allocation in a networked environment. The storage allocation can have a quantity/number of partitions, including at least one partition, configured to store the searchable data. The system can detect that the data usage is beyond a specified threshold and then based at least in part on factors such as network traffic, CPU usage, and/or data usage, the system can modify the storage allocation to increase or decrease a size of the partition and/or the quantity of partitions. Network traffic for the storage allocation can be directed away from the portion of the storage allocation being modified. When modifying the storage allocation is complete, the network traffic can be directed to the modified portion of the storage allocation.

Abstract: Techniques for improving search relevance using past searchers' reputation are described. According to various embodiments, a specification of a search query term corresponding to a skill is received from a searcher, in connection with a search for members of an online social networking service having the skill. Thereafter, a list of search results is generated and displayed based on the search query term, each of the search results corresponding to a member of the online social networking service. A subsequent interaction between the searcher and a specific member corresponding to one of the search results is detected. A skill reputation score associated with the searcher and the skill is then accessed. Thereafter, a search relevance score associated with the specific member and the skill is modified based on the skill reputation score associated with the searcher and the skill.
