This white paper describes various challenges posed by upgrade, migration, and replatforming activities in the journey to the SAP cloud. The paper also explains how EMC uses SNP AG Transformation Backbone (T-Bone) software to reduce risk and shrink the downtime window. August 2011 EMC DELIVERS STANDARDIZED SOLUTIONS FOR ACCELERATED SAP UPGRADE, MIGRATION, AND REPLATFORMING Applied Technology

— This paper shows the implementation of mutual exclusion in PCBSD-FreeBSD operating systems on SMPng environments, providing solutions to problems like investment priority, priority propagation, interlock, CPU downtime, deadlocks, between other. Mutex Control concept is introduced as a solution to these problems through the integration of the scheduling algorithm of multiple queues fed back an...

Virtual machine live migration is a method of moving virtual machine across hosts within a virtualized datacenter. It provides significant benefits for administrator to manage datacenter efficiently. It reduces service interruption by transferring the virtual machine without stopping at source. Transfer of large number of virtual machine memory pages results in long migration time as well as do...

We provide some of the most reliable evidence to date on the direct impact of employee involvement through participatory arrangements such as teams on business performance. The data we use are extraordinary --daily data for rejection, production and downtime rates for all operators in a single plant during a 35 month period, more than 77,000 observations. Our key findings are that: (i) membersh...

To track linear accelerator performance issues, an online event recording system was developed in-house for use by therapists and physicists to log the details of technical problems arising on our institution's four linear accelerators. In use since October 2010, the system was designed so that all clinical physicists would receive email notification when an event was logged. Starting in Octobe...

Abstract The gas booster station of a steel works has experienced excessive bearing failures since commissioning over two decades ago. This was designed with redundancy, allowing for automatic switch-over between fans. Bearing were observed, on average once every 15.7 days, instances where both fans simultaneous downtime. Booster resulted in regular downtime, preventing Coke Oven Gas (COG) tran...

The author uses combination volume rejuvenation therapy (CVRT) in patients who desire facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime. He describes how the combined use of relatively large doses of multiple injectables-including fat, pharmaceutical soft tissue fillers, and Botox-permits simultaneous volume rejuvenation of most facial areas with or without excisional surgery.

Using Quick Response Codes to Facilitate Self-Directed Learning in a Nursing Skills Laboratory Two-dimensional barcodes, called quick response (QR) codes, facilitate student autonomy in the nursing skills laboratory. Rather than wait for the teacher to demonstrate a specifi c skills component, students can activate a QR code, which is embedded in a laminated nursing skills rubrics card, via sma...

The paper presents a model of risk analysis dumper operation with the aim determining most common reason for unplanned stoppages, as well as, after classifying stoppages by system, to evaluate them from aspect risk. set criteria are: time spent in downtime, frequency downtime and level danger. results research indicated causes high on observed machines, basis which priority preventive maintenan...
