The introduction of hosted environments to computing has brought a lot of change in the industry. With the advent of Infrastructure-as-a-Service, the concept of renting data stores is catching up. Security for the data in a hosted environment is an alarming issue. The paper focuses on cloud data storage security. We propose a security model to maintain the data store. This model ensures the saf...

The Middle-Lower Yangtze River Valley Belt (MLYRB) in South China contains many stratabound Fe-Cu-Pb-Zn deposits hosted Middle-Upper Carboniferous carbonates. origin and nature of the ore fluids are poorly constrained (syngenetic vs. epigenetic). Trace elements sulfur isotope compositions sphalerite galena from Qixiashan carbonate-hosted Pb-Zn deposit (Eastern MLYRB) help to clarify ore-fluid s...

The metal-rich Vazante-Paracatu Mineral Belt, in central Brazil, hosts the Zn-Pb sulfide Morro Agudo District Mesoproterozoic (1.3–1.1 Ga) upper carbonate sequence of Vazante Group. district is comprised deposit and Bento Carmelo, Sucuri, do Capão occurrences. This also Fagundes, Ambrósia Bonsucesso deposits (northern part) zinc silicate North Extension (southern part). structurally controlled,...

A modular rainfall retrieval called Advective-Convective-Technique (ACT) was developed at the LCRS that is based on data from geostationary sensors in the water vapour and infrared channel. Extended regions of stratiform precipitation in the vicinity of convective cores are identified by a kmeans cluster analysis and rainrates are assigned using a 3-D cloud model. During daytime an extended ide...

Consumption of food away from home in China is an increasingly important component of the food market as wealthier and busier consumers choose to dine out rather than prepare meals themselves. However, many meals consumed away from home in China are hosted rather than paid for by the individual consuming them, heretofore referred to as hosted meals. Neglecting the role of hosted meals may bias ...

Randall, D.A., 1989. Cloud Parameterization for climate modeling: status and prospects. Atmos. Res., 23: 245-361. The current status of cloud parameterization research is reviewed. It is emphasized that the upper tropospheric stratiform clouds associated with deep convection are both physically important and poorly parameterized in current models. Emerging parameterizations are described in gen...

Continental low stratiform clouds cover the sky about 23% of the time during the fall, winter, and spring months and play a significant role in the Earth’ radiation budget. Information about cloud structure and variability is crucial in determining areal averages of cloud radiative and microphysical properties such as over numerical weather prediction (NWP) or Global Climate Model grid cells. N...
