the objective of this research is to investigate the effect of four additives including iron slag (is), works debris (wd), fly ash (fa), and lime kiln dust (lkd) on the biochemical properties of biosolids produced at mangere wastewater treatment plant (mwwtp), auckland, new zealand. all these additives are homogenously mixed in the laboratory with biosolids at various percentages with and witho...

background: studies on the prognosis of st elevation myocardial infarction (stemi) versus non-st elevation myocardial infarction (non-stemi) have shown different results. the present study was designed to compare the early outcome and left ventricular systolic function of patients with st and non-st elevation myocardial infarction. methods: the patients' information was derived from 10,065 cons...

Ferroelectric materials are of growing interest in international research and development. Special attention is drawn to the integration of ferroelectric materials in non-volatile random access memory cells (FeRAMs). For future high-density FeRAMs, the scaling of the size of ferroelectric structures needs to be understood in order to elucidate possible limitations to memory densities. Various e...

We have proposed, fabricated, and studied a new design of a high-speed optical non-volatile memory. The recoding mechanism of the proposed memory utilizes a magnetization reversal of a nanomagnet by a spin-polarized photocurrent. It was shown experimentally that the operational speed of this memory may be extremely fast above 1 TBit/s. The challenges to realize both a high-speed recording and a...

ion decouples the design of NVRAM module from the rest of the development platform and thus facilitates the accommodation of yet-to-come non-volatile memories.

In order to obtain basic design criteria for anaerobic digestion of a mixture of poultry manure and wheat straw, the effects of different temperatures and organic loading rates on the biogas yield and methane contents were evaluated. Since poultry manure is a poor substrate, in term of the availability of the nutrients, external supplementation of carbon has to be regularly performed, in order ...

By the end of the decade, computing designs will shift from a processor-centric architecture to a memorycentric architecture. At rack scale, we can expect a large pool of non-volatile memory (NVM) that will be accessed by heterogeneous and decentralized compute resources [3, 17]. Such memory-centric architectures will present challenges that today’s processor-centric OSes may not be able to add...

The virtualized storage stack used in enterprise data centers provides two mechanisms to enable virtualized applications to store and retrieve data, namely, virtual disks and network file systems. In this paper, we examine the pros and cons of using these two mechanisms to integrate emerging non-volatile memory devices, and show how neither of them provide low-overhead access to data without sa...
