Distribution of biological databases over lowbandwidth networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Databases are integral part of bioinformatics and need to be accessed most frequently, thus downloading and updating them on a regular basis is very critical. The establishment of bioinformatics research facility is a challenge for developing countries as they suffer from inherent low-bandwidth and unreliable internet connections. Therefore, the identification of techniques supporting download and automatic synchronization of large biological database at low bandwidth is of utmost importance. In current study, two protocols (FTP and Bit Torrent) were evaluated and the utility of a BitTorren based peer-to-peer (btP2P) file distribution model for automatic synchronization and distribution of large dataset at our facility in Pakistan have been discussed.

Photovoltaic systems (PVs), despite their many advantages, may have effects such as power quality issues (voltage and harmonics increase), short-circuits level increase, protection issues, and transient stability for network. Some of these effects are due to the high PV penetration, which encounters the network with the over-voltage and harmonics problems. In this paper, the location, size and ...
