Abstract: A system for providing backup services for limited-access user data includes persistent storage and a manager. The manager identifies a backup generation event for the limited-access user data based on a protection policy; in response to identifying the backup generation event, performs, using an application that gates access to the limited-access user data, a change analysis of the limited-access user data to identify a portion of the limited-access user data that is potentially in a backed-up state; obtains, using the application, metadata associated with the portion indicative of whether sub-portions of the portion are in the backed-up state; identify, using the metadata, at least one of the sub-portions that is not in the backed-up state; and generates the user data backup using the at least one of the sub-portions.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improving attribute data for a point of interest (POI) are provided. A networked system accesses trip data associated with the POI. The networked system generates, using a processor-implemented clustering algorithm, a first spatial cluster and a second spatial cluster using coordinates corresponding to the POI indicated in the trip data. A centroid for the first spatial cluster and a centroid for the second spatial cluster are identified by the networked system. The networked system determines that a difference in distance between the centroid for the first spatial cluster and the centroid for the second spatial cluster meets or transgresses a centroid distance threshold. In response to the determining, a database is updated to indicate a new attribute for the POI, the new attribute corresponds to an attribute associated with either the first spatial cluster or the second spatial cluster.

The expression cassettes are based on the transcription regulation and light signaling. It includes two vector construct; female expression construct and male regulatory construct. The female expression construct was used to achieve tapetum specific expression of reporter gene while when cross is made with male plants having regulatory cassette, F1 plants were formed with abolished expression of reporter gene. Further, the system was deployed to achieve complete male sterility using candidate gene of male sterility; BECLIN1/ATG6 and successfully restoring the fertility of F1 by crossing with pollen of male regulatory transgenic. Here, we claim the expression system using which reversible male sterility can be achieved by expressing candidate gene for male sterility like BECLIN1 or other.
