The History of DebitCredit and the TPC
نویسنده
چکیده
This is a personal account of how the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) came into being and how it created TPC Benchmark(tm) A and B (commonly abbreviated TPCA, TPC-B). I also describe how these tests differ from each other, and from the DebitCredit and TP1 tests, their popular but non-standardized predecessors. Finally, I offer an assessment of the value of the standards developed by the TPC, and how they compare with standards developed by other recently-formed performance measurement standards bodies, most notably SPEC (System Performance Evaluation Cooperative).

متن کاملEffect of Roasting Process on Total Phenolic Compounds and γ-tocopherol Contents of Iranian Sesame Seeds (Sesamum indicum)
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seed and oil have long been used widely as healthy foods to supply energy and prevent aging. Some of the main active anti-oxidative constituents in sesame seeds are γ-tocopherol and phenols. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between roasting temperature and time with γ-tocopherol and total phenolic compounds (TPC) of sesame seeds when roas...

The essential oil from the aerial parts ofJurinea leptoloba DC., collected from Shiraz (South of Iran), was investigated for total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant and cytotoxic effects. TPC of J. leptoloba oil was determined to be 16.53 ± 5.69 μg gallic acid equivalent/mg sample (μg GAE/mg oil) using the Folin-Ciocalteau assay. The ferric reducing power of the oil was determined 0.117 ± 0.0...
