Commercial applications such as databases and Web servers constitute the most important market segment for high-performance servers. Among these applications, on-line transaction processing (OLTP) workloads provide a challenging set of requirements for system designs since they often exhibit inefficient executions dominated by a large memory stall component. A number of recent studies have char...

This document presents the internal Fujitsu Technology Solutions database benchmark OLTP. Particular emphasis is placed on the common ground with and differences to the TPC-C benchmark and the resulting implications with regard to the usability of OLTP benchmark results. A comparison of OLTP with TPC-C results is neither permitted nor practical. Both benchmarks are in fact based on a similar op...

Physics goals of the STAR Experiment at RHIC in recent (and future) years drive the need to operate the STAR TPC at ever higher luminosities, leading to increased ionization levels in the TPC gas. The resulting ionic space charge introduces field distortions in the detector which impact tracking performance. Further complications arise from ionic charge leakage into the main TPC volume from the...

The online drift velocity calibration method provides calibration parameters required at the very beginning of the offline reconstruction process in order to determine the z position of the particle tracks with a sufficient accuracy before the combined track finding [2]. It uses the TPC Laser System which generates 336 straight laser tracks, similar to ionizing particle tracks, at known positio...

Thyroid cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in endocrine system. In latest studies, harmine has been proved to inhibit the growth of several cancers in vitro and in vivo. In the current study, we evaluated the in vitro and in vivo anticancer efficiency of harmine against thyroid cancer cell line TPC-1. The in vitro cytotoxicity of harmine evaluated by XTT assay indicated that harmi...

Optimization of phenolic extraction from Orthosiphon stamineus was carried out in present study by investigating the effects of ethanol concentration (0-100%, v/v), extraction time (60-300 min) and extraction temperature (25-65oC) on the phenolic recovery using single factor experiment. Total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and condensed tannins content (CTC) were used for...

The outage probability of a forward link DSCDMA cellular system with fast transmit power control (TPC) based on signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) is investigated. The expression for SIR at the output of RAKE receiver is developed, and the outage probability is evaluated by using Monte Carlo simulation. We consider two kinds of channel models: random delay resolvable path model and tapped delay...

Massive underground detectors can be considered as sort of observatories for rare physics phenomena like astrophysical neutrino detection and nucleon decay searches. We briefly overview the past tracking calorimeters developed for nucleon decay searches. We then discuss the two technologies which are discussed today for potential future applications: Water Cerenkov ring imaging (WC) and liquid ...

Micro-TPC, a time projection chamber (TPC) with micro pixel chamber (μ-PIC) readout was developed for the detection of the three-dimensional fine (∼ sub-millimeter) tracks of charged particles. We developed a two-dimensional position sensitive gaseous detector, or the μ-PIC, with the detection area of 10 × 10 cm and 65536 anode electrodes of 400 μm pitch. We achieved the gas gain of more than 1...
