Abstract: The present disclosure is a system for risk-based scheduling of a containerized application service. The system may include a scheduler extender which is configured to receive a list of nodes available to process an application or part of an application to be completed by one or more nodes of the list of nodes and receive information from one or more information technology (IT) sensors configured to measure an aspect of an IT operation associated with nodes of the list of nodes. The scheduler extender may be configured to filter the list of nodes based on the information from the one or more information technology (IT) sensors which measure an aspect of an IT operation associated with nodes of the list of nodes.

Abstract: A social network is associated with an event. The event is joined by individuals who have visibility of others joined to the event via a third party network or via the social network. Demographic data is collected on the individuals joined to the event based on their social behaviour. Demographic patterns are extracted from the demographic data and individuals are targeted for ads based on the demographic patterns.

Abstract: An event is associated with a first individual. A second individual is associated with the first individual and with the event. Proximate the time of the event, the presence of the second individual at a venue for participating in the event is sensed with an electronic sensor in communication with the Internet. Then, a notification message is transmitted to the electronic communication device of the first individual notifying the individual of the presence at the venue of the second individual at the event venue.

Abstract: In a method of producing isotopes in a light water power reactor, one or more targets within the reactor may be irradiated under a neutron flux to produce one or more isotopes. The targets may be assembled into one or more fuel bundles that are to be loaded in a core of the reactor at a given outage. Power operations in the reactor irradiate the fuel bundles so as to generate desired isotopes, such as one or more radioisotopes at a desired specific activity or stable isotopes at a desired concentration.

Abstract: A rod assembly for a fuel bundle of a nuclear reactor may include an upper end piece, lower end piece and a plurality of rod segments attached between the upper and lower end pieces and to each other so as to form an axial length of the rod assembly. The rod assembly may include an adaptor subassembly provided at given connection points for connecting adjacent rod segments or a given rod segment with one of the upper and lower end pieces. The connection points along the axial length of the rod assembly may be located where the rod assembly contacts a spacer in the fuel bundle. One (or more) of the rod segments may include an irradiation target therein for producing a desired isotope when a fuel bundle containing one (or more) rod assemblies is irradiated in a core of the reactor.
