Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable memory devices are provided for greater efficiency in the configuration of a database cluster for performing a query workload. A database cluster configuration system is provided that includes a database cluster comprising one or more compute resources configured to perform database queries. A query workload comprising a plurality of queries is received. An initial workload-level configuration is applied. For each query of the query workload, a query-level configuration is generated using a query configuration model corresponding to each query in a contextual Bayesian optimization with centroid learning while also leveraging the query plan for each executing query for query characterization and including application of virtual operators. Query events are collected and used to update the corresponding query configuration model. The workload-level configuration is updated based on the query events and cached for use during a subsequent execution of the workload.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a lithium and tellurium-silicate binary glass-oxide-complex system and a conductive paste containing the complex system, and belongs to the technical field of solar cells. The present disclosure uses a “functional modularity” strategy in the formula design of a glass-oxide-complex system (GOC). Alkali metal ions with high migration and reactivity are separated from a glass body with high fluidity, thus a binary complex system is constructed, that is, a lithium-containing glass-oxide-complex (Li-GOC) with high activity and a tellurium-silica-containing glass-oxide-complex (Si—Te-GOC) with high fluidity. Through the modularized formula strategy, active ingredients can be better controlled, so as to obtain more balanced contact and open circuit voltage and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of a solar cell.

Abstract: A compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable ester, amide, solvate, or salt thereof, or a salt of such an ester or amide or a solvate of such an ester amide or salt, is disclosed. Compositions comprising the compound and methods of use are also disclosed. Those dimeric Evans Blue derivatives, denoted as N(tEB)2, reversibly bind two molecules of albumin via the two albumin binding regions of each NtEB in the dimer, resulting in significantly increased binding affinity to albumin and extended circulation half-life in vivo. Further, when the N(tEB)2 is conjugated to a peptide therapeutic, the in situ formation of the complex of N(tEB)2 with two albumin molecules resulted in increased resistance of the peptide therapeutic from proteolysis.

Abstract: A design method of a spectrometer and a spectrometer are disclosed, including the following steps: 1) determining an incident angle of a second incident slit and a groove-shaped cycle of a concave grating; 2) estimating a blaze angle of the concave grating, determining a surface material and a groove-shaped structure of the concave grating; 3) acquiring wavelength-diffraction efficiency curves; 4) determining values of incident angles ?A1 and ?A3 and values of wavelengths ?2 and ?3, and setting ?4 to equal ?2; 5) acquiring a record structural parameter and a use structural parameter; 6) determining a manufacture parameter of the concave grating; 7) determining locations of the three incident slits and the three photodetectors relative to the concave grating. The spectrometer acquired by using this method has relatively high diffraction efficiency in most spectrum regions and effectively alleviates the problem of relatively low diffraction efficiency in a broad spectrum region.
