Abstract: A system and method for authorization policy validation. A validator takes as input an authorization policy to be analyzed and a schema that specifies entity types and their attributes, types of entity parents in an entity hierarchy, and which entity types can be used with which actions. The validator checks that the policy conforms to the schema. If the check passes, then the policy is guaranteed to be free of both type errors and attribute access errors for any input that conforms to the schema.

Abstract: Provided is a method that utilises linear dichroism (LD) to identify the presence of a target molecule (L) in a sample. The method comprises providing an alignable scaffold (20), preferably biomolecular fibre M13, comprising a first binding region and having a high aspect ratio of greater than 5:1, providing a substrate (e.g. a substantially spherical non-alignable moiety (12)) comprising a second binding region which binds the first binding region in the absence of the target molecule in such a way that the LD signal of the alignable scaffold is reduced or minimised relative to the unbound and aligned scaffold, wherein one of the first and second binding regions is a receptor capable of binding the target molecule, exposing the substrate-bound scaffold to the sample such that binding of the target molecule, if present, to the receptor releases the scaffold from the substrate, and measuring the LD signal of the scaffold before and after exposure to the sample.

Abstract: Systems and methods for causing messages to be presented to users involve updating and using geofencing data to determine whether and when to present a message to a user via a user computing device. Geofencing data that defines the closest relevant geofences to the current position of a user computing device can be provided to a software application on the user computing device on a periodic basis, or when the software application is loaded and run. The software application can then register the geofences with an operating system of the user computing device. When the user computing device determines that the user computing device has entered a geofence, this information can be used to determine whether to present the user with a message.

Abstract: A molecular sensor that utilises dichroism can be used to identify the presence of specific molecules in a substance. The molecular sensor includes a sensor element comprising (i) a scaffold moiety and (ii) one or more receptor molecules for the target molecule attached to the scaffold moiety to form a scaffold/receptor complex, wherein the scaffold/receptor complex is modified to incorporate a chromophore and the modified scaffold/receptor complex has a high aspect ratio.

Abstract: Systems and methods for sending an in-application message to a user of a software application makes use of templated messages. User-specific information is added to the template to create the message delivered to the user. The user-specific information is added to the template to create the message immediately before the message is to be delivered to the user to ensure the user-specific information is as up-to-date as possible.

Abstract: A mechanism for tracking applications on a node of a multi-tenant PaaS environment is disclosed. A method of the invention includes providing an agent of a server orchestration system on a multi-tenant node of a network-based application hosting system, wherein the node comprises a virtual machine (VM) of a cloud computing environment configured to host a plurality of Web application components of different owners, and maintaining, by the agent, a plurality of facts about the node. One of the facts is a number of source code management (SCM) software repositories on the node; each software repository containing at least one of the plurality of Web application components, which is determined by and updated by the agent to reflect the number of determined software repositories.

Abstract: A molecular sensor that utilizes dichroism can be used to identify the presence of a target nucleic acid molecule in a sample, for example during or after amplification reactions such as PCR/thermocyling reactions and isothermal reactions. A sensor element for use in the molecular sensor may comprise an alignable scaffold/receptor complex, the receptor of said complex comprising a nucleic acid sequence which is complementary to at least a portion of a target nucleic acid molecule.

Abstract: A method includes instantiating a first web application for a first application owner on a virtual machine and instantiating a second web application for a second application owner. The second application owner is different than the first application owner. Instantiating the second web application includes determining that the second web application is associated with an attribute. The first web application is also associated with the attribute, and the attribute comprises an implementation related property of the first web application and the second web application. Instantiating the second web application also includes identifying the virtual machine as configured to host web applications having the attribute, responsive to identifying the virtual machine, instantiating the second web application on the virtual machine hosting the first web application.
