  • Publication number: 20230195646
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for flexible information compression at a memory system are described. For example, a memory system may compress information in a change log to reduce the frequency of transfers of one or more mappings between volatile memory and non-volatile memory. The memory system may compress information associated with a sequence of sequentially-indexed addresses by storing the information associated with those addresses at a pair of entries in the change log. The memory system may additionally switch between a first operating mode associated with identifying sequentially-indexed addresses and generating compressed entries, and a second operating mode associated with generating entries of the change log for each address received in commands.

  • Publication number: 20230167500
    Abstract: The invention provides a sudden cardiac death susceptibility detection kit based on an insertion/deletion polymorphic site of COX10 gene. A specific primer pair contained in the kit is designed for the insertion/deletion site rs397763766 on the COX10 gene. DNA fragments containing the site are specifically amplified. Different genotypes are recognized by detecting the mobility of fragments different in length in capillary electrophoresis. In combination with findings in a case-control study, it is believed that an individual carrying a deletion-type allele at the insertion/deletion site rs397763766 of COX10 gene in the detected DNA is SCD susceptible. Therefore, the SCD susceptibility of an individual is predicted by detecting the genotype of the insertion/deletion site rs397763766 on the COX10 gene in the individual. It is confirmed that a two-base (CT) insertion/deletion polymorphism (rs397763766) located in the 3?UTR of the COX10 gene is significantly associated with the risk of suffering from SCD.
