Experimental Methodology For Real Overlays

An Analytical Method for the Evaluation of the RC Columns Capacity Strengthened by Concrete Overlays

An Investigation on In-situ Strength and Bonding Strength of Polymer Modified Concretes (PMC) as Repair Overlays on Conventional Concrete Substrate

Polymer modified concrete (PMC) consists of Portland cement concrete with a polymer modifier. Its advantages are proper bonding strength to substrate concrete, high tensile and flexural strength and low amount of shrinkage and permeability. Using PMC overlays can be considered as a method for preservation of damaged concrete structures due to their suitable performance and durability. In this r...

Trading Off Resources Between Overlapping Overlays

Many different overlays with different properties have been proposed. Rather than using one overlay for all applications, it is likely that multiple overlapping overlays will be deployed on the same computing resources for different purposes. We present an architecture, called ODIN-S, for mediating the resources used by overlapping overlays. We can specify priorities for different overlays, and...

Online Migration for Geo-distributed Storage Systems

We consider the problem of migrating user data between data centers. We introduce distributed storage overlays, a simple abstraction that represents data as stacked layers in different places. Overlays can be readily used to cache data objects, migrate these caches, and migrate the home of data objects. We implement overlays as part of a key-value object store called Nomad, designed to span man...

A New Dispersive Liquid-Liquid Microextraction Method Followed by Direct GF-AAS Determination Optimized with Experimental Design and Response Surface Methodology for Determination of Ag(I) in Water Samples

In this research, a rapid, reliable and selective dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) followed by direct injection of microdroplet to graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS) method for the determination of ultra-trace amounts of Ag(I) was developed. Effect of the important experimental parameters on the extraction efficiency of Ag(I) was investigated using response...
