Solid state storage is increasingly deployed in all sizes of datacenters, from the small and medium business to the large enterprise. It comes in many forms including hybrid arrays, direct attached drives, PCIe flash and accelerators that fit somewhere in between servers and storage. With the price of flash continuing to drop, hybrid storage is becoming more compelling to the small and medium b...

Using ProModel simulation language, a universal warehouse storage simulation model has been developed. Applications of the model have been executed with success to analyze the storage capacity and rack efficiency of a medium volume, low stock-keeping unit (SKU) warehouse and a medium volume, large SKU warehouse. The model is scaleable and can be modified to simulate any warehouse configuration,...

Novel properties originating from the combination of magnetism with the reduced dimensionality of nanoobjects are of considerable interest for fundamental science but are also readily used in a wide range of technological applications. To fulfill the demand for larger capacities of storage systems, complex magnetic heterostructures of a nanometer size are envisioned as future magnetic storage m...

Five pairs of rabbit corneas were stored for two weeks at 4 degrees C, one of each pair in K-Sol medium, and one in McCarey-/Kaufman (M-K) medium. After transplantation all penetrating keratoplasty grafts became clear and thin. Endothelial cell loss was significantly less in the K-Sol stored corneas. Another five pairs of corneas were stored for two weeks in K-Sol or three days in M-K medium. A...

An apparatus has been designed and built to measure the adsorption of contaminants on the surfaces of lubricated carbon overcoats such as those used on magnetic data storage media. The device is based on a quartz crystal microbalance housed in a high vacuum chamber and can be used to make rapid measurements of both the amounts and the rates of contaminant adsorption from the gas phase during ex...

Broadened service based computing in the cloud environment makes nowadays rapid computations easier. The cloud forms the structure for security and authentication mechanism which provides the privacy equipped cloud and storage that concentrates more on biometric authentication services which enhances the provable security in the persistence environment. In this paper the major focussing area is...

The aim of this research effort was to investigate the role of various sugar substrates in the growth medium upon thermotolerance and upon survival during storage after freeze-drying of Lactobacillus bulgaricus. Addition of the sugars tested to the growth medium, and of these and sorbitol to the drying medium (skim milk) was investigated so as to determine whether a relationship exists between ...
