Abstract: A resource allocation module may be configured to monitor an input queue of a cluster computing framework for a batch of one or more programs for processing. The resource allocation module parses commands in each of the one or more programs to determine an input/output (I/O) complexity parameter and at least one operation complexity parameter corresponding to each program of the one or more program files. The resource allocation module triggers execution of the one or more program files by a cluster computing framework via a network communication, wherein the cluster computing framework is configured based on the I/O complexity parameter and the at least one operation complexity parameter. Based on analysis of feedback from the cluster computing framework, the resource allocation module modifies a calculation for determining the I/O complexity parameter and/or a calculation for determining the operation complexity of the program files.

The user selection may be made via the second interactive user interface. The user selection may then cause the self-service kiosk to execute the selected function.

Abstract: A system receives a login sample. The login sample is decomposed into first and second layers. A verification media sample is decomposed into first and second layers. The system determines that the first layer of the login sample does not match the first layer of the verification sample, that the second layer of the login sample does not match the second layer of the verification sample, or both. First and second critical portions are extracted from the login sample. A first and second login hash are generated from the first and second critical portions. A first and second ledger hash are retrieved from a blockchain ledger. It's determined that the first login hash does not match the first ledger hash, the second login hash does not match the second ledger hash, or both. The user is flagged.

The present invention provides methods for detecting antibodies in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection in a single multiplex immunoassay.

Abstract: The embodiments herein provide a dual-polarized MIMO ultra-wideband system comprising of a linear polarized radiator and circularly polarized radiator. A Symmetric Heptagonal Monopole (SHM) radiating element coupled with a Stepped Co-Planar Waveguide (SCW) provides an ultra-wide bandwidth with linear polarization.

Abstract: A method for facilitating transactions between tenants in a multi-tenant architecture system is discussed. The method includes receiving a request, at a multi-tenant platform, from a first service of a first tenant of the multi-tenant platform to access a second service of a second tenant of the multi-tenant platform to perform a transaction, in which the request includes a first access token usable to authenticate the transaction with the first tenant. The method includes generating, by the multi-tenant platform using the first access token, a universal access token. The method includes generating, by the multi-tenant platform using the universal access token, a second access token useable to authenticate the transaction with the second tenant. The method includes using, by the multi-tenant platform, the second access token to communicate with the second service to perform the transaction.

Abstract: Hydrocarbon composition plays vital role in fuel quality. For gasoline/motor spirit applications the hydrocarbon should have more octane-possessing molecules from the groups of aromatics, naphthenics and isoparaffins, while n-paraffins are not preferred due to their poor octane. Among the high-octane groups, again aromatics occupy the top but not more than 35 vol % aromatics can be mixed in gasoline for engine applications to avoid harmful emission, But there is no single process that addresses so far the issue of co-producing all the desired hydrocarbon components in a single process. Thus, it is interesting to have a single once-through process working on single catalyst system to produce mixture of all three high-octane molecules namely, aromatics, naphthenics and isoparaffins directly from low-value, low-octane n-paraffin feed. Herein, we report a novel single-step catalytic process for the simultaneous production of aromatics, naphthenics and isoparaffins for gasoline and petrochemical applications.
