Memory is commonly viewed as an unreliable place to store permanent data (files) because it is perceived to be vulnerable to system crashes. Yet despite all the negative implications of memory’s unreliability, no data exists that quantifies how vulnerable memory actually is to system crashes. This paper quantitatively compares the vulnerability of disk and memory to operating system crashes. We...

Assessment of Adaptive Response of Gamma Radiation in the Operating Room Personnel Exposed to Anesthetic Gases by Measuring the Relative Gene Expression Changes Ku80, Ligase1 and P53

Background: Some operating room personnel are occupationally exposed to genotoxic agents such as anesthetic gases and ionizing radiation. Adaptive response, as a defense mechanism, will occur when cells become exposed to a low dose of factors harming DNA (priming dose), which in the subsequent exposure to higher dose of those factors (challenging dose), show more resistance and sensibility.. <b...

Assessment of adaptive response of gamma radiation in the operating room personnel exposed to anesthetic gases by measuring the expression of Ku 80, Ligase1 and P53 genes

Introduction: Staffs of operating room are continuously exposed to anesthetic gases and                                                       ionizing radiation. Adaptive response, as a defense mechanism, will occur when cells become exposed to a low dose of factors harming DNA that causes in the next exposures to higher doses o...

Characterizing Flash Memory : Anomalies , Observations , and Applications ∗ UCSD CSE Tech Report CS 2009 - 0946

Despite flash memory’s promise, it suffers from many idiosyncrasies such as limited durability, data integrity problems, and asymmetry in operation granularity. As architects, we aim to find ways to overcome these idiosyncrasies while exploiting flash memory’s useful characteristics. To be successful, we must understand the trade-offs between the performance, cost (in both power and dollars), a...
