Abstract: A physio-logical migration of a database from a source system to a target system may include exporting a catalog of the database in a data interchange format that preserves the hierarchical dependencies present amongst the entities included in the catalog. The physio-logical migration of the database may further include exporting the contents of a table in the database in a binary format compatible at the target system. The binary format may be a data buffer having a metadata portion, a fixed-size portion, and a page chain portion. Where the target system is a cloud-based system, the physio-logical migration of the database may include exporting the catalog and the contents of the table to a cloud-based object store before importing the catalog and the contents of the table to the target system. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for performing dynamic topology switch in a failover operation. In one example, a failover of a first node is determined. The first node includes a first data server and a first replication server. At least one user application connects to the first data server prior to the failover of the first node. In response to the determined failover, the at least one user application is connected to a second data server of a second node. The second node includes the second data server and a second replication server. Prior to the failover of the first node, a data replication topology of the second node is a remote topology. During the failover, if the first replication server on the first node is down, the data replication topology of the second node is switched from the remote topology to a local topology.

Abstract: Provided are a one-way lifting embedded thread, a lifting device and a plastic surgery method using the same. The one-way lifting embedded thread includes a pulling thread and at least one cam body sleeved on the pulling thread. Two ends of the pulling thread are a lifting end and a free end. The free end is provided with an anchor structure for securing the pulling thread. Two sides of the cam body are a large end face and a small end face. The large end face of the cam body faces the free end of the pulling thread. As for the one-way lifting embedded thread, the arrangement of the anchor structure secures the one-way lifting embedded thread to the skin tissue temporarily and prevents the lifting embedded thread from completely slipping into the skin tissue.

Abstract: Provided are a suture, a suturing apparatus and applications thereof. The suture includes an elongated body, a first cam assembly and a second cam assembly both sleeved on the elongated body. The elongated body includes a first free end and a second free end.

Abstract: According to an irrigation method based on water usage characteristics and real-time weather condition during different crop growth stages, whether the crops are in a shortage of water in the growth is determined based on an actual soil water content, a water usage amount of the crops during the given growth stage, and a rainfall amount during the next day. If the shortage of water occurs, the actual water usage amount of the crops is calculated, and a water pump can be self-adaptively turned on to water the crops and an administrator is informed when the reservoir has an insufficient water storage, according to the relation between the water storage amount of the reservoir and the actual water usage amount.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a degradable vascular stent capable of avoiding late restenosis, comprising a base region formed by a polylactic acid based polymer; at least one storage region in which an active agent is stored; and an outer layer of a drug sustained release coating covered on the base region and/or the storage region. Before the mass of the polylactic acid based polymer is decreased by 10-20%, the active agent is retained in structural units of the polylactic acid based polymer. After the mass of the polylactic acid based polymer is decreased by 10-20%, the active agent is released from the storage region. The base region provides a supporting capacity for ensuring patency of blood vessels; the drug sustained release coating is used for drug release in an early stage; and the active agent only works in late degradation of the stent to avoid late restenosis.
