Abstract: Described are methods and systems for identifying phenotypic traits of an individual from nucleotide sequence data. The methods and systems are useful even when the identity of the individual or phenotypic traits of the individual is unknown.

Abstract: A scheduler selects an I/O from a session of a pool and updates token buckets associated with resource limits and reserves for the session and the pool and statistics used in determining fair sharing. To select an I/O, the scheduler identifies sessions with a non-empty queue, identifies head I/Os in the queues, computes for the head I/O a deadline using session and pool reserve buckets and a release time using session and pool limit buckets, and selects a head I/O with an earliest deadline that is past the release time. If the deadline of the selected candidate head I/O is in the past, the scheduler transfers the selected head I/O to the tail of the storage device queue. Otherwise, the scheduler selects the pool with the least amount of I/O traffic according to a session fair share estimator.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a soy protein product by treatment of soy protein with at least one oxidoreductase.

Abstract: A resource management system uses a virtual resource pool distributed across a set of storage devices to manage resources in a distributed storage system. The storage devices dedicate a resource in an allocation pool available to the virtual resource pool. The virtual resource pool is a virtual storage server in which an application receives at least a predetermined amount of storage capacity, a predetermined level of performance, or a predetermined reliability, represented by tokens. A virtual resource pool manager gives the tokens to an application. The application transmits the tokens along with the commands to the storage device. The token represents a right to consume up to some limit of resources on a specific storage device in a computing session. The storage device locally tracks resource consumption through the token.

Abstract: Processes for producing acidic, protein-containing drinks are disclosed. Specifically, the processes comprise producing acidic, protein-containing drinks comprising plant protein material. The acidic, protein-containing drinks have improved sensory and functional characteristics such as reduced viscosity, improved sedimentation rate, and improved mouthfeel.

The present invention is also directed to a calcium containing vegetable protein based beverage composition, comprising; a liquid and a calcium containing hydrolyzed soy protein isolate containing at least 90% protein by weight, dry basis, said protein material having a degree of hydrolysis of from about 1.8% up to about 4.0%, a percent calcium of from about 0.15 up to about 0.60, a density of from about 0.15 up to about 0.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a nutritional formula for feeding human infants comprising isolated soy protein wherein the isolated soy protein has (a) a degree of hydrolysis of from about 0.5% up to about 30%; (b) a combination of an inositol-6-phosphate content, an inositol-5-phosphate content, an inositol-4-phosphate content and an inositol-3-phosphate content of less than about 8.0 ?mol/g soy protein on a moisture free basis; and (c) a nitrite content of less than about 10 parts per million. Optionally, the isolated soy protein for the nutritional formula has a free amino acid content of up to about 25%. Further, the isolated soy protein for the nutritional formula optionally has a calcium content of from about 1.0% up to about 12%.

Abstract: This invention is directed to an acidic beverage composition, comprising; (A) a hydrated protein material having a combination of an inositol-6-phosphate content, an inositol-5-phosphate content, an inositol-4-phosphate content and an inositol-3-phosphate content of less than 8.0 ?mol/g, with (B) a hydrated protein stabilizing agent and (C) at least one acid comprising a fruit juice, a vegetable juice, citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, ascorbic acid, glucono delta lactone or phosphoric acid, wherein the acidic beverage composition has a pH of from 3.0 to 4.5.
