Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for promoting myogenesis, containing, as an active ingredient, a processed ginseng extract in which a trace amount of a ginsenoside ingredient is increased. It has been ascertained that the processed ginseng extract promotes the differentiation of myoblasts into muscle and inhibits muscle atrophy caused by myostatin, which is a myogenesis inhibitory factor, and thus it is expected that a composition for preventing or treating muscle disorder-related diseases, having excellent effects, can be developed.

Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed toward retrieving data from streaming storage. In an embodiment, a method can include receiving an application data request that identifies application data to be retrieved from a sequence of stored data chunks that correspond to a stored stream of data. The method can further include, based on the application data request, estimating a first estimated location of the application data, with the first estimated location including an identified chunk of a sequence of chunks. Further, the method can include, based on the application data request and a characteristic of the identified chunk, retrieving, by the system, a first data block that is estimated to comprise the application data, resulting in a first retrieved data block.

Abstract: Techniques are described for reducing capacity fragmentation by using an Automatic Defragmentation Service (ADS). More particularly, hypervisors (HVs) that are candidates to defragment are identified, an HV to defragment is selected, and one or more VM instances are migrated from the selected HV to a different HV. According to certain implementations, instead of migrating a VM to a new HV, the VM is live migrated to an existing HV.

The invention further provides use of the resulting compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof in preparation of a medicament effective for treating a disease or condition.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present application provide a method, devices, a system, terminals and a server for recommending multimedia objects, and the method comprises: acquiring the location associated with a first terminal; acquiring the multimedia object information related to the location, wherein the multimedia objects comprise ones played at the location and recommended by at least one user; and recommending the multimedia object to the first terminal. The multimedia object recommendation scheme in the embodiments of the present application enables a terminal to receive not exactly the same multimedia objects at different locations, thus improving the user experience.

Abstract: A multi-faults service restoration method for a power distribution network overcomes the defect that a traditional service restoration method for the power distribution network cannot solve multi-faults. The method includes the steps of performing multi-faults judgment on multi-faults with processing unfinished, to form many multi-faults and many single-faults; then performing unaided fault recovery area division on the multi-faults, and performing power restoration on unaided fault recovery areas one by one; and after the multi-faults are processed, performing power restoration on each single-fault.

Abstract: An offshore riser system comprising a tubular from a sea floor to a sea surface comprising a first horizontal portion at the sea floor; a second vertical portion near the sea surface; and a third curved portion located between the first and second portions; and a buoyancy module connected to the second portion, adapted to maintain a shape of the curved portion and enable a connection of a vessel to the second portion.

Abstract: There is disclosed a floating system positioned in a body of water having a water bottom, the system comprising a host member floating in the water; an elongated underwater line structure, comprising a top connected to the host; a bottom extending to the seabed and adapted to connect to a flowline lying on the seabed; a first portion of the line structure being shaped concave upward; a second portion of the line structure being shaped concave upward; and a transition segment between being shaped concave downward, the transition segment located between the first portion and the second portion.

Abstract: A floating system comprising a plurality of buoyant columns, a top portion of the columns extending above a water surface, and a bottom portion of the columns submerged in a body of water; a deck connected to the top portion of the columns; at least one pontoon connected to the bottom portion of at least two of the columns; a plurality of heave plates, each heave plate connected to the bottom portion of at least one of the columns; and a conduit connected to the deck and extending to a bottom of the body of water.

Abstract: A patrol system comprises: a computer, a receiving and sending communication device, and a plurality of signal elements. The computer and the receiving and sending communication device are wirelessly connected to each other. The receiving and sending communication device serves to sense the signal elements. The signal elements are disposed at designated patrol locations. When a patrolman with a receiving and sending communication device arrives at a designated patrol location and gives feedback to the computer, the computer will determine next patrol location to be patrolled and inform the patrolman. And thus the patrol route of each patrolman is determined randomly by the computer, so that the thief doesn't know the patrol route. Further, even the patrolman doesn't know the next patrol location to be patrolled, thus preventing the patrolman from colluding with the thief and betraying the patrol route.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a novel compound isolated from Ginkgo biloba and a method for isolating the novel compound from Ginkgo biloba. The method comprises: (1) extracting Ginkgo biloba with alcohol to obtain a crude extract; (2) subjecting the Ginkgo biloba crude extract to solvent fractionation using an organic solvent; (3) fractionating the solvent fractions by Sephadex column chromatography; and (4) fractionating the Sephadex fractions by silica gel column chromatography.
