Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods for producing eukaryotic cells that comprise homozygous modifications. The modifications include homozygous insertions of a modified open reading frame (a “mORF”), and removable surface displayed epitopes that can be used for separating cells that contain the homozygous modifications by Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). The inserted mORFs are configured so that they are in frame with an endogenous open reading frame and their expression can be controlled by an endogenous promoter. The homozygous insertions are produced using specialized double stranded DNA repair templates and CRISPR-based approaches, which provide for insertion of the homozygous modified ORFs, surface expression of two different epitopes that are separated from the modified ORFs by ribosomal peptide skipping domains, and separation and isolation of cells that contain the homozygous insertions, with concurrent or sequential removal of the epitopes using recombinase-mediated approaches.

Abstract: Generating a new disaster recovery workflow is provided. In response to determining that a failed action was detected during execution of a disaster recovery workflow, reasons and fixes corresponding to the failed action are acquired from a data source. A set of correlated corrective actions that are potential fixes for the failed action is identified based on natural language processing of the reasons and fixes corresponding to the failed action. A weightage value is assigned to each correlated corrective action in the set of correlated corrective actions based on a plurality of factors to form a set of corrective actions with weightage values. A recommended new disaster recovery workflow is generated by embedding the set of corrective actions with weightage values within the disaster recovery workflow.

Abstract: A method, performed by a first node is described, the method being for handling roaming information. The first node operates in a first communications network. The first node determines a set of network resources predicted to be required by a group of subscribers while roaming in a second communications network. The first node then initiates providing an indication of the determined set of resources to a second node in the second communications network. The second node receive the indication and determines whether or not an allocation of the set of resources meets a criterion. The second node then initiates performing an operation based on the determination. A third node determines data regarding a roaming behavior of the group of subscribers and provides information based on the determined data, to the first node.

Abstract: Methods and systems for an online charging system to grant resources to a session with a terminal device when the session includes a large file or the session has a long duration. Embodiments the invention include methods performed by an electronic device for online charging in a wireless network. In one embodiment, the electronic device receives a request message for resources to set up a session with a terminal device, where the request message is sent from a core network interface to an online charging function (OCF), and where the request message indicates that the session includes a large file or that the session has a long duration. The electronic device determines that the terminal device has enough credit for the session based on the request message and grants the resources for the session with the terminal device based on the determination.

Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring remote transmissions of messages among a plurality of nodes are described. A processing element in a first node may allocate a sequence number to a request to read and/or update data in a second node. The processing element may be different from main processors of the first node. The processing element may send the message and the sequence number to the second node. The processing element may modify a status of the sequence number to an active state, indicating a transmission of the message is pending. The processing element may, in response to a response from the second node, modify the status of the sequence number to an inactive state, indicating a completed transmission of the message. The processing element may, in response to no response from the second node within a time period, resend the message and the sequence number to the second node.
