  • Patent number: 11952581
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids in an organism by introducing, into the organism, nucleic acids which encode polypeptides with ?5-elongase activity. Advantageously, these nucleic acids can be expressed in the organism together with further nucleic acids which encode polypeptides of the biosynthesis of the fatty acid or lipid metabolism. Especially advantageous are nucleic acids which encode ?6-desaturases, ?5-desaturases, ?4-desaturases and/or ?6-elongases. These desaturases and elongases are advantageously derived from Thalassiosira, Euglena or Ostreococcus. The invention furthermore relates to a process for the production of oils and/or triacylglycerides with an elevated content of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, and oils and/or triacylglycerides thus obtained.

  • Publication number: 20240111819
    Abstract: A method for a crawl algorithm includes obtaining a plurality of web pages for a web crawler to crawl. The method also includes determining an available bandwidth for the web crawler. The method includes, for each respective web page of the plurality of web pages, determining a respective crawl value for the respective web page based on the available bandwidth and determining that the respective crawl value of the respective web page satisfies a threshold value. The method includes, in response to determining that the respective crawl value of the respective web page satisfies the threshold value, updating the respective web page in a cache memory.

  • Publication number: 20240069862
    Abstract: An audio playback method, a failure detection method for a screen sound production component, and an electronic device. The audio playback method includes: receiving an audio playback instruction; where the audio playback instruction is used to instruct the electronic device to play a first audio; playing, in response to receiving the audio playback instruction, a detection audio by using the screen sound production component; obtaining a first parameter in a process of playing the detection audio; determining, based on the first parameter, whether the screen sound production component fails; where the first parameter is at least one of a real-time load current, a real-time load voltage, a real-time impedance, and a real-time admittance of the screen sound production component; and when the screen sound production component fails, switching the sound production component to the speaker, and playing the first audio by using the speaker.
