Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for data fetching in a networked computing environment. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a request from an analytical node for a set of data for a defined job, and identifying in networked storage a subset of the data for the job. The subset of data is loaded to the analytical node based on the sequence in which the data are projected to be accessed in the job. In an embodiment, the request includes a specification for the job, and the specification is analyzed to identify the subset of data. In one embodiment, the subset of data is identified by identifying another job having a relationship to the defined job, and identifying the data used for that other job. In an embodiment, the networked computing environment is a cloud computing environment, and the defined job is an analytics job.

Abstract: A method for preparing an ecological foamed ceramic from lepidolite filter mud whole waste belongs to the field of environmental protection and resource reuse. The ecological foamed ceramic with excellent properties can be prepared by using lepidolite filter mud as the main raw materials, including ball milling, homogenization, drying, material distribution, and heat treatment. The amount of lepidolite filter mud in the present invention accounts for more than 90%, which is a whole waste utilization and can achieve high-value utilization of bulk lepidolite filter mud. The present invention uses a composite foaming agent combined with a foaming technology and has the advantages of rapid foaming and controllable pore size compared with a single foaming agent. The ecological foamed ceramic prepared by the present invention meets the industrial standard of CJ/T 299-2008 “Artificial ceramic filter material for water treatment” and has potential application value in domestic sewage treatment.

Abstract: Disclosed is a semipermeable membrane and its preparation method. The semipermeable membrane obtained has a Turing structure. The Turing structure is an ordered pattern composed of microstructures. The existence of the structure enables the semipermeable membrane of this invention to have both high water permeation flux and excellent salt retention performance, which breaks the flux limit value of the semipermeable membrane while ensuring high selective permeability of the membrane. It also has good anti-pollution properties. The preparation method of the invention can be easily integrated into the existing semipermeable membrane production line without further cost input which has far-reaching practical significance and commercial value.
