Abstract: A novel dry down buffer is provided for use in drying a plurality of fluorescent dye conjugates on a substrate for use in flow cytometry. The aqueous buffer comprises a water-soluble monomer; a protein stabilizer; a carbohydrate stabilizer; and a zwitterionic surfactant. When mixed with a multi-color panel comprising fluorescent polymer dye conjugates, dried on a substrate, and reconstituted with a biological sample, the buffer provides decreased aggregation of fluorescent polymer dye conjugates, and decreased non-specific binding of monocytes and granulocytes, when compared to use of a buffer without the water-soluble monomer or zwitterionic surfactant.

The network device may receive a network packet associated with at least one IP address of the one or more IP addresses. The network device may perform, based at least in part on the mapping of the one or more IP addresses to the identifier of the IPoE subscriber, a network service associated with the network packet on a per-IPoE-subscriber basis.

Abstract: Methods and systems for co-locating journaling and data storage are provided. Separate journal and volume partitions may be maintained within each logical storage unit (e.g., Logical Unit Number (LUN)) of a distributed storage system. Journaling of metadata associated with write requests received from one or more clients may be distributed by identifying a destination logical storage unit to which data associated with a given write request is to be stored and causing the data and metadata to be persisted to disk by journaling the metadata and the data to respective portions of an active log within the journal partition of the destination logical storage unit. By using the same logical storage unit for both journaling of write requests and writing the data associated with such write requests, the bottleneck due to there being only a single device or storage unit handling all metadata for all write requests can be avoided.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a natural language question (NLQ) query service within a service provider network that provides row level security (RLS) for autocomplete during entry of NLQs and fuzzy matching in NLQ answering. The rules take the form of per-user predicates such as Tim can only see rows with region=US. In configurations a complex extraction and preprocessing pipeline to extract distinct combinations of values against RLS predicate “rule keys” is used. Those distinct values are indexed along with grouped rule keys to enable pushing down predicates at auto-complete time. This enables pushing part of RLS rule handling to ingestion time of a dataset rather than handling all RLS rule handling at query time, enabling meeting of latency goals. In configurations, a single logical document of unique cell values is split into multiple documents with a subset of rule keys to handle scalability limits.
