Introduction Changes in land surface shape in active tectonic  zones result from interplay between tectonic forces and surface processes (Keller and Pinter, 1996; Keller et al., 1999). Salt Domes  are dome-shaped Geological structures whose central core is composed of salt. Their economic importance is due to the location of oil tanks in structures with salt domes and also the presence of sulf...

This study was performed to investigate the effect of storage conditions on seed germination performance of faba bean (cv. Shami). For this purpose, a three factors factorial experiment was conducted in laboratory of Seed Science and Technology, Faculty of Agriculture, Yasouj University, in 2013-2014, based on CRD design with five replications.  The experimental factors were storage temperature...

Cloud storage has become a massive and lucrative business, with companies like Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Dropbox providing hundreds of millions of clients with synchronized and redundant storage. These services often command price-to-storage ratios significantly higher than the market rate for physical storage, as well as increase the surface area for data leakage. In place of this consumer...

Recent trends suggest that streamflow discharge is diminishing in many rivers of Southern Europe and interannual variability increasing. This threatens to aggravate water scarcity problems periodically arise this region, because both effects will deteriorate the performance reservoirs, decreasing their reliable yield. Reservoir storage key infrastructure overcome enhance availability semiarid c...

This paper describes a general-purpose file system that uses a writeonce-read-many (WORM) optical disk accessed via a magnetic disk cache. The cache enables blocks to be modified multiple times before they are written to the WORM and increases performance. Snapshots of the file system can be made at any time without limiting the users’ access to files. These snapshots reside entirely on the WOR...

effects of pre-storage application of salicylic acid (sa) and storage periods were investigated on phenylalanine ammonia lyase (pal) activity, chilling index (ci) and quality of pomegranate (punica granatum) cv. malase saveh. the results showed that with increase in sa concentration up to 2mm, ci and ion leakage (il) were reduced while pal activity being increased. the lower il and ci vc the hi...

Modern file systems associate the deletion of a file with the release of the storage associated with that file, and file writes with the irrevocable change of file contents. We propose that this model of file system behavior is a relic of the past, when disk storage was a scarce resource. We believe that the correct model should ensure that all user actions are revocable. Deleting a file should...

We studied the effects of liquid nitrogen storage of maize, common bean and soybean seeds on their germination, electrolyte leakage, levels of chlorophylls, phenolics, aldehydes, proteins and peroxidase activity. After storage for 28 days, seeds were retrieved from liquid nitrogen, some were set to germinate and others were analyzed biochemically. No phenotypic modifications were observed visua...

Client-side deduplication is a very effective mechanism to reduce both storage and communication cost in cloud storage service. Halevi et al. (CCS ’11) discovered security vulnerability in existing implementation of client-side deduplication and proposed a cryptographic primitive called “proofs of ownership” (PoW) as a countermeasure. In a proof of ownership scheme, any owner of the same file c...
