MEMS-based storage is one of the leading candidates as tomorrow’s storage medium due to its salient characteristics such as high-parallelism, high density, and low-power consumption. Because physical structures of MEMS-based storage is different from those of hard disks, new software management techniques for MEMS-based storage are needed. Specifically, MEMS-based storage has thousands of paral...

Volume holographic memory can offer massively parallel associative search capability in addition to high capacity data storage. After holograms have been stored into a photosensitive material, an optical correlation of an input user query against all eo-locationally stored patterns can be made simultaneously, resulting in fast search speed. We describe a correlator based on a 90 degree geometry...

The past two decades have witnessed increased scrutiny regarding efficacy and risk of the once unquestioned therapy of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion. Simultaneously, a variety of changes have been identified within the RBC and storage media during RBC preservation that are correlated with reduced tissue oxygenation and transfusion-associated adverse effects. These alterations are collectivel...

Society, in Hiroshima, June 4, 1972. Abstract-Effect of removal of Na from bathing media on the tonus and contractile response to drugs of strips of the rat ileum was investigated. Removal of Na from the bathing media by replacing NaCl with sucrose or choline Cl produced a transient contraction, which was not altered by treatment with atropine. This contraction was attenuated when preparations ...

Freezing at -80 degrees C, lyophilization, preservation in distilled water, and storage in different culture media were performed in order to find a suitable method that allowed a prolonged storage of Malassezia spp. Freezing at -80 degrees C was the only method successful at maintaining all species.

Information storage by means of magnetic media is one of the oldest technologies for data recording, since the early prototype of magnetic wire recorder, the ‘‘telegraphone’’, was made by the Danish engineer Valdemar Paulsen in 1898. Magnetic media became very popular in the mid-1900s, with analog recording on audio and video tapes being developed; a milestone was the first digital device for m...

The number of concurrent video or audio streams a disk-based Continuous Media Server can support, is limited by the time needed for the associated data blocks to be retrieved from secondary storage. Along with the cost of RAM, these two strongly interrelated parameters determine the cost/performance metric of the Media Server. Research efforts have focused either on maximizing disk performance ...

background and objective: the current study was undertaken to check in vitro different characteristics of lactobacillus plantarum as potential probiotic. these characteristics include viability of probiotic and ph during cold storage, tolerance to acid and bile, and antibiotic resistance. material and methods: samples of yogurt were stored at 4°c and analyzed in time 0, 1, 3, 7, 10 and 14 days ...

This paper explores three algorithms for high-performance downloads of wide-area, replicated data. The storage model is based on the Network Storage Stack, which allows for flexible sharing and utilization of writable storage as a network resource. The algorithms assume that data is replicated in various storage depots in the wide area, and the data must be delivered to the client either as a d...
