Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for improving performance of a database optimizer, a processor calculates a first execution time for a database query executing through a first access path of a database system. A processor generates a second access path. A processor determines a second execution time via a simulation of the database query through the second access path. A processor determines that the second execution time is less than the first execution time. A processor, responsive to determining that the second execution time is less than the first execution time, sends the second access path to the database optimizer.

Abstract: A method, network device, and computer program product for network traffic diversion are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method according to the present disclosure includes receiving a frame at a core edge node that is a member of a redundancy group (where the frame comprises network address information and a packet), and determining whether a link is affected by a network failure. The frame was sourced by a remote core edge node that is not a member of the redundancy group, and the network address information indicates that the packet is to be forwarded via the link. In response to the link being affected by the network failure, the method further includes generating a modified frame and forwarding the modified frame to another core edge node. The generating comprises including a redirect label in the modified frame. The another core edge node is another member of the redundancy group.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an epitope on fibronectin B (ED-B) domain, more specifically to an antibody or an antibody fragment of ED-B domain, and can be widely applied in in-vitro detection and in-vivo positioning of ED-B domain as well as in targeted cancer therapy.

Abstract: A computer implemented method processes a query. A number of processor units processes the query to identify a result set in response to receiving the query from a first client. The number of processor units stores, the result set in a shared cache assigned to a group of clients, wherein result set stored in the shared cache is accessible by the group of clients. The number of processor units returns the result set to a second client in the group of clients from the shared cache in response to receiving the query from the second client in the group of clients.

Abstract: A backlight module and a display device are disclosed. The backlight module includes a back plate, an assembled light plate composed of multiple light plates, and a pressure bar. The assembled light plate is fixed to the back plate by the pressure bar. The pressure bar includes a fixing portion and a connecting portion. One end of the connecting portion goes through the gap, and the other end is connected to the fixing portion. The fixing portion extends from the gap to the light plates on both sides to form a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion. The surfaces of the first and the second abutting portions adjacent to the light plates are level and flush with each other. The first and the second abutting portions respectively abut and firmly press the light-emitting surfaces of the light plates on both sides. The fixed portion covers the entire gap.

The embodiment may automatically use ETL to export unstructured data to SQL databases with the generated multiple schemas for the different tenants. The embodiment may automatically monitor usage data of the SQL databases and collect the usage data. The embodiment may automatically optimize schema discovery using the collected usage data. The embodiment may automatically discover schemas with hot usage and apply the discovered schemas with hot usage to other tenants for consumption and further monitoring.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product is provided for computer log management. In one embodiment, in response to receiving a log request from a user, an input content is analyzed and adjusted according to input contents and user's previous activities. A similarity analysis and a fairness analysis is performed to determine similarities between the input content, as adjusted, and a plurality of log records in an object library. The similarity analysis includes analyzing any patterns and attributes. The attributes have a dimension, and each dimension has a predefined weight (W). The fairness analysis ensures that one type of log is not favored over others. A best possible match is then determined, and one or more logs are presented to the user providing the best possible match.
