  • Publication number: 20240107956
    Abstract: A method for excluding an aggressive incompatibility (AI) trait from Agaricus bisporus mushroom strains, wherein the method includes mating a culture of a hybrid mushroom line designated B18287-s82, a representative culture of the line having been deposited under NRRL Accession No. 68168, with a culture of the white mushroom line designated WBL-s290, to obtain an F1 hybrid mushroom strain designated J19109, a representative culture of the F1 strain having been deposited under NRRL Accession No. 68163. Upon fruiting a culture of the new F1 strain designated J19109 to obtain homokaryotic spores therefrom, one obtains cultures of homokaryotic lines from the homokaryotic spores from F1 strain J19109 and selects a culture of a homokaryotic line from the F1 strain J19109. The culture of a homokaryotic line from F1 strain J19109 is mated with a culture of the mushroom line designated J11500-s80, to obtain an F2 hybrid mushroom strain.

  • Publication number: 20230229595
    Abstract: Systems and methods of multi-chip processing with low latency and congestion. In a multi-chip processing system, each chip includes a plurality of clusters arranged in a mesh design. A respective interconnect controller is disposed at the end of each column. The column is linked to a corresponding remote column in the other chip. A share cache controller in the column is paired with a corresponding cache controller in the remote column, the pair of cache controllers are configured to control data caching for a same set of main memory locations. Communications between cross-chip cache controllers are performed within linked columns of clusters via the column-specific inter-chip interconnect controllers.

  • Publication number: 20200277417
    Abstract: Vanillin and vanillyl alcohol were modified into methacrylated derivatives. The structures of vanillin-based monomers were characterized by NMR and FTIR. Renewable polymers were prepared from these vanillin-based monomers. The effects of structure and functionality of the vanillin-based monomers on the thermo-mechanical properties of the resulting polymers were investigated and discussed. Polymers from methacrylated vanillyl alcohol (MVA) demonstrated greater storage moduli, higher glass transition temperatures, and thermal resistance than those from methacrylated vanillin (MV) because of the different functionalities of their monomers.
