Abstract: Entity mappings that produce matching entities for a first data asset having attributes and a second data asset having attributes are generated by: generating entity mappings that produce matching entities for a first data asset having attributes with attribute values and a second data asset having attributes with attribute values by: matching the attribute values of the attributes of the first data asset with the attribute values of the attributes of the second data asset, using the matching attribute values to generate matching attribute pairs, and using the matching attribute pairs to identify entity mappings; computing an entity mapping score for each of the entity mappings based on a combination of factors; ranking the entity mappings based on each entity mapping score; and using some of the ranked entity mappings to determine whether a same real-world entity is described by the first data asset and the second data asset.

The method includes flushing the second set of records of the database table in one or more persistent storage devices and querying of the plurality of records of the database table. The method includes inferring one or more complex events from transition of a plurality of states.

Abstract: Nucleotide sequences encoding YEP6 polypeptides are provided herein, along with plants and cells having reduced levels of YEP6 gene expression, reduced levels of YEP6 polypeptide activity, or both. Plants with reduced levels of gene expression of at least one YEP6 gene and/or reduced levels of YEP6 polypeptide activity that exhibit increased yield, increased staygreen, increased abiotic stress tolerance, or any combination of these, are provided. Methods for increasing yield, staygreen and abiotic stress tolerance in plants, by modulating YEP6 gene expression or activity, are also provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for distributed iceberg cubing over ordered dimensions are provided herein. A method includes calculating, from input data derived from a search query, a set of multiple cube measures for one or more combinations of multiple non-ordered dimensions; pruning the set of multiple cube measures based on one or more iceberg conditions to generate a sub-set of the cube measures; and determining a range for a set of ordered dimensions over a distributed processing platform based on (i) the sub-set of the cube measures and (ii) the one or more iceberg conditions.

Abstract: Methods and arrangements for identifying related data in different data sets to assist in searching the data sets. A first data asset and a second data asset are accessed. Common entities are identified between the first and second data assets. A score is determined for the relationship between the first and second data assets, based on the identified common entities. One or more relationship contexts are determined for the relationship between the first and second data assets, and the relationship score and one or more relationship contexts are used to join at least a portion of each of the first and second data assets as a basis for subsequent searching. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.

The recombinant DNA construct comprises a polynucleotide operably linked to a promoter that is functional in a plant, wherein said polynucleotide encodes a PRE2 polypeptide.

Abstract: Methods and arrangements performing fuzzy search. A contemplated method includes: establishing an edit distance threshold for the fuzzy search; generating an index of items to be searched, via: storing at least one string; and creating substrings corresponding to the at least one string; providing a query string for use in searching; creating substrings corresponding to the query string; comparing substrings of the query string with substrings in the index; designating at least one candidate string based on said comparing; verifying whether each candidate string satisfies the edit distance threshold; and outputting at least one matching string for each candidate string that satisfies the edit distance threshold. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device that enables an output device to display data found and retrieved through a wireless portal from a source. More specifically, a digital picture frame that itself does not contain the internal architecture for wireless connectivity is connectable to a wireless enabling device that then enables the digital picture frame to connect to a wireless portal and retrieve data in a known specific wireless location or from a non-specifically known wireless location.

Abstract: An embodiment provides intermediate data derived in the form of column stores which are in turn based on hierarchical data stores. This intermediate data represents a reduced subset of data matched appropriately to a query (or modified query) such that the amount of data handled in a query processing task on large data is greatly reduced. An embodiment may appropriately choose column data stores and/or modify queries in order leverage parallelization techniques such as map-reduce in order to query large data. The result is the ability to query large data stores in parallel while reducing the amount of data that must be handled.
