Abstract: An inspection tester for testing a surface for suspected explosive substances includes a body unit, a breakable ampoule carried by the body unit, and an ionic explosive detecting reagent in the breakable ampoule wherein the body unit and the breakable ampoule are positioned to deliver the ionic explosive detecting reagent to the surface for testing the surface for the suspected explosive substances. The ionic explosive detecting reagent is a salt in a liquid state.

Abstract: A system includes: a physical communication interface, hardware data storage, and validation circuitry. The validation circuitry may load an infrastructure definition and, based on the enablement flag, determine whether the test definition is enabled or non-enabled. The validation circuitry may further exclude the test definition when the test definition is not enabled, and report an error to an operator interface display when the test definition was excluded. The validation circuitry may further generate a call to the serverless infrastructure provider when the test definition is enabled, and receive a resource description in response. The validation circuitry may terminate the provisioned resource when the expected configuration is not included within the resource description. The validation circuitry may mark the infrastructure definition as validated when the expected configuration is included within the resource description.

Abstract: Disclosed are mutant DNA polymerases having increased 3?-mismatch discrimination relative to a corresponding, unmodified polymerase. The mutant polymerases are useful in a variety of disclosed primer extension methods. Also disclosed are related compositions, including recombinant nucleic acids, vectors, and host cells, which are useful, e.g., for production of the mutant DNA polymerases.

Abstract: A library may include serverless artifacts that support execution of respective serverless functions. For each of the artifacts, a build parameter may have a library artifact identifier, a respective execution environment specifier, and a respective component specifier. An infrastructure realization knowledge base may define an environment mapping for each of the serverless artifacts. A build execution engine may create a build script that can be executed on a serverless artifact build infrastructure. To implement the build script the build script may be transmitted over a build communication channel to a cloud based serverless infrastructure provider.

Abstract: A method of simultaneously amplifying genotypes 1, 2, 3 and/or 4 of HEV is disclosed comprising amplifying the genotypes 1, 2, 3 and/or 4 of HEV with one single none-degenerate forward primer partially overlapping the 5?UTR region of HEV and at least one reverse primer. Also disclosed are related methods comprising a probe, and kits for the detection of genotypes 1, 2, 3 and/or 4 of HEV.

Abstract: Successfully deploying resources into the cloud is a constantly increasing technical challenge as more cloud service providers emerge, each offering disparate computing platforms, services, assets, supported technical components, and other features, including serverless execution. An infrastructure build and collaboration architecture for serverless execution environments solves the technically complex challenges around allowing developers to work independently in physically separated locations. To this end, the architecture allows shared object repositories to be brought together when required. The architecture performs deep validation of the infrastructure built for the developer.

An infrastructure build and collaboration architecture for serverless execution environments solves the technically complex challenges around allowing developers to work independently in physically separated locations. To this end, the architecture allows shared object repositories to be brought together when required and provides an object-model for defining resources without requiring the developer to have complete expert knowledge of the target deployment language. The architecture also enforces policy for both software design and infrastructure, and performs deep validation of the infrastructure built for the developer.

Abstract: Successfully deploying resources into the cloud is a constantly increasing technical challenge as more cloud service providers emerge, each offering disparate computing platforms, services, assets, supported technical components, and other features. Relatively recently, cloud service providers have introduced serverless execution frameworks that eliminate the need for statically provisioned servers and instead provision and execute functions dynamically. A function library build architecture for serverless execution environments solves the technically complex challenges with successfully building functions that must run in serverless execution environments, and making those function available in a function library.
