Relational database systems have traditionally optimzed for I/O performance and organized records sequentially on disk pages using the N-ary Storage Model (NSM) (a.k.a., slotted pages). Recent research, however, indicates that cache utilization and performance is becoming increasingly important on modern platforms. In this paper, we first demonstrate that in-page data placement is the key to hi...

In aptamer-facilitated biomarker discovery (AptaBiD), aptamers are selected from a library of random DNA (or RNA) sequences for their ability to specifically bind cell-surface biomarkers. The library is incubated with intact cells, and cell-bound DNA molecules are separated from those unbound and amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The partitioning/amplification cycle is repeated ...

In low-latitude areas less than 10° in latitude angle, the solar radiation that goes into still increases as cover slope approaches angle. However, amount of water is condensed and then falls toward solar-still basin also increased this case. Consequently, yield significantly decreased, accuracy prediction method affected. This reduction inversely proportional to time which stays on inner side ...

S TO MEETINGS (2007 only) Altamura, L.A., Schmaljohn, C.S., and Doms, R.W. (2007) Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus encodes an NSM protein. American Society for Virology 26th Annual Meeting. July 14-18 Corvallis, OR. Oral presentation.

In this paper, using the neural space mapping (NSM) concept, we present a SPICE-compatible modeling technique to modify the conventional MOSFET equations, to be suitable for ballistic carbon nanotube transistors (CNTTs). We used the NSM concept in order to correct conventional MOSFET equations so that they could be used for carbon nanotube transistors. To demonstrate the accuracy of our mod...

The efficiency of the use near-surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips confined with CFRP wraps to strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) columns will be experimentally and analytically investigated in this paper. A total 15 specimens RC strengthened different numbers NSM-CFRP (0, 4, 8) 2, 4), prepared tested under concentric eccentric loading eccentricity ratios 0, 0.2...

The Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) M-segment encodes the 78 kD, NSm, Gn, and Gc proteins. The 1st AUG generates the 78 kD-Gc precursor, the 2nd AUG generates the NSm-Gn-Gc precursor, and the 3rd AUG makes the NSm'-Gn-Gc precursor. To understand biological changes due to abolishment of the precursors, we quantitatively measured Gn secretion using a reporter assay, in which a Gaussia luciferase (...

Despite high-intensity statin therapy (HIST), cardiovascular events persist. Therefore, non-statin medication (NSM) drugs have been developed. However, the patient group to which these drugs should be administered is unclear. The American Heart Association (AHA) published a NSM recommendation to address this question (1). However, we believe that some elements of the updated 2017 recommendation...
