  • Publication number: 20240408552
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the technical field of membrane-based water treatment and relates to a novel guanidine-based composite nanofiltration (NF) flat-sheet membrane, and a preparation method and application thereof. The present invention provides a method for preparing a guanidine-based composite NF flat-sheet membrane, where a dense separation layer is formed on the surface of a polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane through polymerization reaction between the amino group of 1,3-diaminoguanidine and the acyl chloride group of trimesoyl chloride. Under suitable reaction conditions, the guanidine-based composite NF membrane obtained according to the present invention enables effective separation of multivalent ions over a wide pH range, with a rejection rate of over 96% for 1000 ppm of MgSO4 solution, and can operate continuously and stably in a mixed ions solution with a wide pH.

    Abstract: An online system matches source and target entities using multiple queues. The online system receives information identifying a plurality of source entities and a plurality of target entities. The online system maintains a plurality of queues, each queue associated with a source entity. Each queue comprises one or more target entities. A target entity is included in a queue based on matching of the target entity with a source entity. The online system may perform matching using a machine learning model. The online system selects a particular target entity for a particular source entity from the queue corresponding to the source entity. The online system schedules an interaction between the particular source entity and the particular target entity.

  • Publication number: 20240403331
    Abstract: An online system matches source and target entities using multiple queues. The online system performs clustering of target entities to generate a plurality of clusters based on vector distances between pairs of target entities. Each cluster comprises target entities that are close to other target entities within the cluster compared to target entities of remaining clusters. The online system optimizes an aggregate score across the plurality of entities using a plurality of queues. Each queue is associated with a source entity and includes one or more target entities. The online system identifies a cluster of target entities based on a distance between the source entities and entities of the cluster of target entities. The online system selects a subset of target entities from the identified cluster using a machine learning based model trained to determine a score between an input source entity and target entity.

  • Publication number: 20240378153
    Abstract: Systems and methods for prefetching data are disclosed. A processor executes a first command for moving first data stored in a storage device. Based on the first command, the processor stores, into a first queue of the storage device, a first address associated with the first data. The storage device further retrieves the first address from the first queue, retrieves the first data from the first storage medium based on the first address, and stores the first data to the second storage medium. In some embodiments, a process for prefetch optimization is also disclosed. A processor identifies a value for prefetching data.
