The Silver Lining of Cloud Computing

“Due to decades of technology acquisitions to fuel growing businesses, enterprises are now facing a breaking point with their IT systems. Some systems can’t share information and workloads, servers are highly underutilized and the cost of energy is becoming greater than the value of the systems the energy powers.

Scalable Semantics - The Silver Lining of Cloud Computing

Semantic inferencing and querying across largescale RDF triple stores is notoriously slow. Our objective is to expedite this process by employing Google’s MapReduce framework to implement scale-out distributed querying and reasoning. This approach requires RDF graphs to be decomposed into smaller units that are distributed across computational nodes. RDF Molecules appear to offer an ideal appro...

An ascending aortic aneurysm is a common and very much unwelcome diagnosis that has never been associated with anything positive. We believe, however, that there actually is a silver lining to this disease: aortic root and ascending aortic aneurysms actually protect against atherosclerosis. We have found that patients with ascending aneurysms have both decreased arterial calcification and carot...
