Modern scientific discovery often involves running complex application simulations on supercomputers, followed by a sequence of data analysis tasks on smaller clusters. This offline approach suffers from significant data movement costs such as redundant I/O, storage bandwidth bottleneck, and wasted CPU cycles, all of which contribute to increased energy consumption and delayed end-toend perform...

Human survival has relied upon the ability to withstand starvation through energy storage, the capacity to fight off infection by a proinflammatory immune response, and the ability to cope with physical stressors by an adaptive stress response. Energy storage, mainly as glycogen in liver and triglycerides in adipose tissue, is regulated by the anabolic actions of insulin. On the other hand, mob...

Hostels are low-cost, short-term accommodations for travelers of all ages. Visitors pay for either a public or a private room. Prices vary based on style, location, and amenities but overall are very affordable. Hostels are the most common choice of accommodation for travelers; there are membership deals and discounts for frequent users. For more information, visit STA Travel [1]. Things to Con...

The role of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) storage by trees will be discussed in terms of uncoupling their growth from resource acquisition. There are profound differences between the physiology of C and N storage. C storage acts as a short-term, temporary buffer when photosynthesis cannot meet current sink demand and remobilization is sink driven. However, the majority of C allocated to non-struc...

The problems related to the differed time between production and use of electrical energy produced by renewable sources makes storage systems an integral part of Renewable Energy Sources (RES), especially for stand-alone systems. Furthermore, for grid-connected systems, the stability of the electric system and the quality and stability of the delivered voltage will result in a high quality syst...
