With the development of technology, the size of files handled by smart devices is increasing. This phenomenon can cause the storage to be the biggest bottleneck of smart devices. There is a study that presents a major factor in this phenomenon is overhead in user level filesystem (FUSE). And it proposed buffered FUSE (bFUSE) and increased size of FUSE I/O as a solution of this problem. In this ...

A plug computer is essentially a cross between an embedded computer and a traditional computer, and with many of the same capabilities. However, the architecture of a plug computer makes it difficult to apply commonly used digital forensic methods. This paper describes methods for extracting and analyzing digital evidence from plug computers. Two popular plug computer models are examined, the S...

  Background: Ligament reconstruction is a common procedure in orthopedic surgery. Although several popular techniques are currently in use, new methods are proposed for secure fixation of the tendon graft into the bone tunnel. Purposes: We sought to introduce our new technique of Bashti bone plug for fixation of soft tissue graft in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and to compar...

Based on the definition of IEC 60282-1, backup-fuses have to interrupt currents higher than the minimal breaking current. Full-range fuses have to interrupt all currents, which are able to melt the fusing element. Severe circumstances like reduced heat-transfer or external heating might trip the fuse when the actual operating current is below the minimum breaking current or the melting current....

FUSE is a lightweight failure notification service for building distributed systems. Distributed systems built with FUSE are guaranteed that failure notifications never fail. Whenever a failure notification is triggered, all live members of the FUSE group will hear a notification within a bounded period of time, irrespective of node or communication failures. In contrast to previous work on fai...

introduction: microleakage is of the causes of endodontic treatment failure. the aim of this in vitro study, was to compare the microleakage of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement apical plugs in three environments. methods and materials: a total of 130 human extracted single rooted teeth were collected. after decoronation, preparation of the root canal sp...

Although nodes in a network-virtualization infrastructure, which is called a virtualization node, usually contain a switch or a router with sophisticated and high-performance functions such as Ethernet switching, VLAN, and IP routing, most of such infrastructure functions cannot be reused as program components by slices. Accordingly, a method for providing such functions to slices on a virtuali...
