Abstract: Host specific containerized application configuration generation is disclosed. For example, first and second image files are stored on a first memory. Second and third memories are associated with a first host node. A request to generate a first configuration file associated with a plurality of isolated guests is received, launching a first short-lived guest of the plurality of isolated guests on the second memory. A configuration management application executes on the first short-lived guest, generating and saving the first configuration file to the third memory. The first short-lived guest is terminated. A first service guest of the plurality of isolated guests is launched on the second memory. A first service configured with the first configuration file executes on the first service guest. A second service guest of the plurality of isolated guests is launched on the second memory executing a second service configured with the first configuration file.

Abstract: A method to prevent the inadvertent removal of volumes on a storage system is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes receiving a request to remove (e.g., delete, detach, unmask, etc.) a volume on a storage system. In response to receiving the request, the method initiates at least one process to monitor the volume for I/O activity over a specified period of time. In the event the at least one process does not detect I/O activity to the volume during the specified period of time, the method executes the request by removing the volume. In the event the at least one process detects I/O activity to the volume during the specified period of time, the method denies the request to remove the volume. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

Abstract: Gamma-valerolactone is prepared from a levulinic acid ester in a continuous process where a stream of the levulinic acid ester together with a gaseous stream of a hydrogen-containing gas is contacted with a hydrogenation catalyst, where the levulinic acid ester is in the liquid phase, and where the hydrogenation catalyst is a solid particulate catalyst including at least one hydrogenating metal, supported on an oxide carrier.

Abstract: It has been discovered that facile glycation of proteins can be achieved by colyophilization of a protein with a reducing sugar, subjecting the lyophilized mixture to a vacuum (10 to 50 millitor) and incubating at an elevated temperature (50 to 100° C.) for 1 to 24 h. A stable ketoamine derivative is formed with amino groups in the protein and no advanced glycation end products (browning reaction) are observed, as is the case with aqueous glycation procedures. Another novel feature is that the in vacuo glycation reaction takes place with the protonated amine and not the deprotonated amine as is believed to be the case for aqueous glycation reactions. Advantage can be taken of the in vacuo glycation reaction to achieve facile covalent cross-linking of proteins by lyophilizing protein or proteins with compounds containing two or more reducing sugars separated by a linker.

Abstract: This invention provides an internal stress actuated micro- or nano-machine for measuring mechanical and/or electrical properties, e.g. traction measurement, compression measurement or shear measurement, on micro-scale and nano-scale films or multi-layers of materials such as metallic materials, carbon-based materials and silicon-base materials. The device of the invention has applications in materials production industry, as well as in micro-electronics and for surface treatments and functionalization.

Abstract: A process for spectroscopic measurement of the emission of formaldehyde from refined wood products destined to be used in the manufacture of composite wood products such as medium density fiberboard (MDF), particleboard, and plywood. The process employs near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to measure the absorption of light by the wood furnish; the level of absorption is then related to the formaldehyde emission and thickness swell of the finished wood panel. This process allows for real-time quantitative prediction of future formaldehyde emissions and thickness swell of a composite wood panel.
