The Atropos logical volume manager allows applications to exploit characteristics of its underlying collection of disks. It stripes data in track-sized units and explicitly exposes the boundaries, allowing applications to maximize efficiency for sequential access patterns even when they share the array. Further, it supports efficient diagonal access to blocks on adjacent tracks, allowing applic...

The volume of structured data on the Web has grown considerably in the recent past. In contrast to unstructured (textual) documents, which can be searched through simple keyword-based interfaces, the presence of structure enables rich queries to be posed against Web data. In this paper we present a search engine designed for querying structured information sources on the Web and show how our sy...

Most volume rendering systems based on raycasting still suffer from inefficient CPU utilization and bad cache coherence. The recently introduced hyper-threading technology provides a solution to the first problem. This paper describes a raycasting system based on this new technology. To address the second problem the system is based on a bricked memory-layout. Bricking, however, requires an eff...

We introduce a new database object called Cache Table that enables persistent caching of the full or partial content of a remote database table. The content of a cache table is either defined declaratively and populated in advance at setup time, or determined dynamically and populated on demand at query execution time. Dynamic cache tables exploit the characteristics of typical transactional we...

In the article, “Nonspecific ST-T changes associated with unsatisfactory blood pressure control among adults with hypertension in China: Evidence from the CSPPT study”, which appeared in Volume 96, Issue 17 of Medicine, the author requested changes to tables 2–4. In tables 2–4, the authors have added the adjustment variable “creatinine” and removed “b-Blockers use” and the text should read “Mod...

The author of MXG Software provides a historical perspective of how and why the SAS System became the pervasive tool for managing and mining of the original data warehouse, the Performance Data Base built from SMF data. The architecture of the MXG implementation is described to show how MXG, currently 911,749 lines of SAS code in 3,011 files (members), executes under MVS, VM, UNIX, OS/2, Window...

Clustering is an essential data mining task with various types of applications. Traditional clustering algorithms are based on a vector space model representation. A relational database system often contains multirelational information spread across multiple relations (tables). In order to cluster such data, one would require to restrict the analysis to a single representation, or to construct ...

One of the main advantages of document digitalisation is the improvement of processing and research. Structured documents contents can be stored in a database management system (DBMS) for efficient processing independently of the original format. Statistical tables, which are highly structured, multidimensional and evolving are such documents. Extracting high volume of statistical data and inte...

We present a study of the influence of different approximation schemes on the convergence rate of volume rendering integral (VRI) numerical approximations. We experimentally evaluate the impact of numerical integration techniques on the rate of convergence to the correct solution of the VRI on a single ray. We report that the discretization of both the inner and outer integrals have influence o...
