Making cloud services responsive is critical to providing a compelling user experience. Many largescale sites, including LinkedIn, Digg and Facebook, address this need by deploying pools of servers that operate purely on in-memory state. Unfortunately, current technologies for partitioning requests across these inmemory server pools, such as network load balancers, lead to a frustrating program...

A high performance clarification system has been discussed for advanced aqueous reprocessing of FBR spent fuel. Dissolver residue gives the cause of troubles on the plant operation of reprocessing. In this study, the new clarification system based on the hybrid of centrifuge and filtration was proposed to get the high separation ability of the component of whole insoluble sludge. The clarificat...

L'érythème annulaire centrifuge n'a souvent pas de cause connue, mais on découvre parfois une cause médicamenteuse (aspirine, vaccin), infectieuse (infection streptococcique, tuberculose, mononucléose infectieuse, trypanosomiase, grippe), une dermatose chronique (pemphigus, lupus érythémateux subaigu) ou une atteinte cancéreuse distante des lésions (cancer du poumon, de la prostate, de l'utérus...

Might the gravity levels found on other planets and on the moon be sufficient to provide an adequate perception of upright for astronauts? Can the amount of gravity required be predicted from the physiological threshold for linear acceleration? The perception of upright is determined not only by gravity but also visual information when available and assumptions about the orientation of the body...

A numerical model was developed to simulate the response of two instrumented, centrifuge model tests on soft clay and to investigate the factors that affect the seismic ground response. The centrifuge tests simulated the behavior of a rectangular building on 30 m uniform and layered soft soils. Each test model was subjected to several earthquakelike shaking events at a centrifugal acceleration ...

Centrifuge modeling has been considered as an effective means of studying flexural soil–pile interaction, yet the conventional use elastic material to model RC pile prototype is unable reproduce important nonlinear quasi-brittle behavior. It also remains a challenge numerically interaction due nonlinearity both soil and materials. This paper presents small-scale for testing soil–structure under...

Vulnerability curves (VCs) measure the ability of vessels to retain metastable water without embolisms that lower the hydraulic conductivity of stems. The fastest method of measuring VCs is the centrifuge technique and the Cochard cavitron is a method that allows measurement of hydraulic conductivity of stems while they are spinning. This paper describes the pattern of embolism that results aft...

The centrifuge force microscope (CFM) was recently introduced as a platform for massively parallel single-molecule manipulation and analysis. Here we developed a low-cost and self-contained CFM module that works directly within a commercial centrifuge, greatly improving accessibility and ease of use. Our instrument incorporates research grade video microscopy, a power source, a computer, and wi...
