Abstract: A client computing device transmits an identifier for a target software package to a first server computing device including a public data store comprising a first plurality of software packages. The first server computing device identifies dependent software packages of the target software package in the first plurality of software packages and transmits identifiers for the dependent software packages to the client computing device. The client computing device then transmits the identifiers to a second server computing device including a private data store comprising a second plurality of software packages.

Abstract: A computer network includes computing devices and a server system having an electronic health records (EHR) application. The server system includes a logic module accessible by the EHR application and providing logic by which an early warning score for a patient is calculated. The score is calculated based on, at least in part, data from an electronic patient record that is accessed by the EHR application. The EHR application communicates the calculated early warning score to a networked device, which in turn displays the calculated early warning score on a screen for view by a user. The same networked device preferably is used to make one or more observations of the patient that are recorded in the electronic patient record, and based on which the score is calculated. Whether the score is increasing, decreasing, or remaining the same over observation intervals preferably is determined and displayed with the score.

Abstract: A patient observations submission state engine uses native asynchronous web service handling (e.g. that in iOS) and manages multiple submission transaction requests for a single patient observation session. Preferably, the transactions and their results are managed by the engine, and appropriate result events (success, partial failure and full failure) are pushed back to a user interface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for identifying individual trees having a superior phenotype and more particularly to molecular markers and/or quantitative trait loci (QTL) which can be used to identify individual trees having a superior phenotype. The molecular markers and/or QTL comprise restriction fragment length polymorphism pattern or PCR-fingerprint. The molecular markers and/or QTL can be used for the development of marker-assisted breeding, rapid assessment techniques or to identify orthologous functional genes by sequence homology in trees of different a genus and/or species. DNA markers are e.g. for fibre coarseness, microfibril angle, pulpstrength and yield, lignin content, pitch propensity and calcium accumulation determinants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel method for the prediction of fiber length and the selection of superior trees using genetic marker loci. The method comprises comparing genotypic survey data to phenotypic data collected from the same trees used to create the genotypic survey and identifying particular genetic marker loci or quantitative trait loci (QTL's) that are associated with fiber length. The method allows superior trees to be identified, from both plantations and natural populations, and selected for in tree improvement breeding programs by genotyping with identified genetic marker loci.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel method for the prediction of fibre length and the rapid selection of superior trees for given pulp and paper product lines using a DNA probe. The method comprises the isolation of tree genomic DNA from a hybrid spruce live tissue source, hybridization of the spruce DNA probe to that genomic DNA and the densitometric assessment of the intensity of the hybridization pattern obtained. This determines the precise degree of genetic admixing (or introgression) of the two parent species within the hybrid population. Due to the linear relationship—in the hybrid spruce population examined—between degree of genetic introgression and fibre length (discovered in this method), the intensity of the DNA probe hybridization pattern can be used to directly, accurately and reproducibly predict the fibre length found (for a given tree age) within an individual hybrid spruce within the population.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of identifying tree lineage capable of expressing desired biological and/or biochemical phenotypes and method of producing such trees. It also relates to a method of identifying a genetic marker associated with a genetic locus conferring at least one enhanced property. Also it relates to a stand of clonal enhanced property trees produced by the method of the present invention, the genome of the trees containing the same genetic marker associated with the enhanced property relative to a value characteristic of the average of the genus. It relates also to a method of producing a family of trees wherein at least about half exhibit at least of enhanced property. The present invention also relates to a genetic map of QTLs of trees associated with enhanced properties. The present invention further relates to a genetic marker of fiber length of trees.

Abstract: A cooking system includes a sink having a basin recessed within a kitchen countertop. The sink is provided with a water inlet, a water outlet and an energy source for heating water introduced into the basin. The cooking system also includes a container that preferably has bottom and side wall portions provided with a plurality of through holes. The container is adapted to house food and to be positioned within the heated water of the basin in order to enable the food items in the container to be cooked.
