It is deep and important fact about human beings that extraordinary things can be achieved through concerted, coordinated action. The phenomena of coordination extends from elementary exchanges of goods or services between two persons, through a vast array of small to large scale social, commercial, industrial, military, political, public and non-governmental organizations and institutions, to ...

Jaundice is one of the most common conditions which requires medical attention in neonates. In addition to the short-term side effects, phototherapy may result in DNA damage. In this study the extent of DNA damage was assessed before and after phototherapy in cases with neonatal jaundice by single cell gel electrophoresis (Comet Assay). Eighty babies with neonatal jaundice were chosen for the s...

Today, we’ll discuss an aspect of networking that has risen in prominence over the last decade or so: datacenters. Datacenters are large private networks consisting of tens of thousands of servers [15, 16]. Some of these datacenters are in buildings that are the size of six football fields [3]. We’ll first discuss how such datacenters came to be [8]. We’ll then discuss in some detail one specif...

Image of a waveguide superlattice under a high-resolution electron microscope, artificially colored to show the optical field confined in one waveguide. Electrical engineers at Rutgers University have created a method of integrating denser elements on optical chips. This technology may one day be used to make computer chips and data centers run faster and more cost-effective. As silicon integra...

False mildew is a serious disease of safflower crops in the Yaqui Valley, Mexico, and is caused by infection with a fungus belonging to the genus Ramularia. In the present study, a fungus isolated from leaf lesions was grown under different growth conditions in order to study its mycelial growth and spore production, determining that the solid medium of Septoria tritici at 18 °C of incubation a...

Carve-outs belong to the most disruptive events companies – especially IT departments – are subject to. Yet the impact of these events on the IT alignment of the involved business units is largely unknown. This paper utilizes an alignment model to analyze specific IT-related challenges of divesting a strategic business unit (SBU). Hereby it focuses on the functional alignment between business s...

Base tables supporting transaction time are ever-growing because all logical updates, including deletions, transform into insertions at the physical level. This contrasts snapshot tables where logical and physical deletion coincide. Logical deletion in TSQL2 was covered in 16. As there is a need for physical deletion capabilities in snapshot tables (and valid-time tables), there is also a need ...
