MERCi-MIsS: Should I Turn off My Servers?
In recent years, the electrical consumption of data centers has increased considerably leading to a rise in the expenditure bill and in greenhouse gas emissions. Several existing on/off algorithms reduce energy consumption in data centers or Clouds by turning off unused (idle) machines. However, the turning off/on of servers consumes a certain amount of energy and also induces the wear and tear...
متن کاملElectric fan use in heat waves: Turn on or turn off?
Heat waves have been responsible for more deaths worldwide than all other natural disasters combined. In Europe, this “silent killer” caused 70000C excess deaths in 2003, and more recently 3500C people died during 2 separate heat waves in India (May 2015) and Pakistan (June 2015) (Fig. 1). Groups among the most vulnerable include the elderly, poor, and people with cardiovascular disease. Identi...
متن کاملBacterial Pathogenesis: When a turn off is a turn on
Pathogenic bacteria express distinct sets of genes at different stages in their life cycles; inappropriate expression of normally repressed genes during host colonization can interfere with bacterial survival.
متن کاملInverse agonism at cannabinoid receptors
There are at least two types of cannabinoid receptor, CB1 and CB2, both G protein coupled. CB1 receptors are expressed predominantly at nerve terminals and mediate inhibition of transmitter release. CB2 receptors are found mainly on immune cells, one of their roles being to modulate cytokine release. Endogenous ligands for these receptors (endocannabinoids) also exist. These discoveries have pr...
متن کاملX Inactivation: Pre- or Post-Fertilisation Turn-off?
In mammals, X chromosome expression is balanced in females and males by shutting off one of the two X chromosomes in each cell of a female [1]. This process of X inactivation involves epigenetic regulation, characterised by repressive modifications to DNA and chromatin, late replication of the inactive X and the expression of an untranslated RNA, Xist, which coats one of the X chromosomes in ci...
