Just like how Paxos is hard to understand, PBFT is also hard to understand. Therefore, we want to formulate a Byzantine Fault Tolerant distributed file system that is easy to understand. Therefore, we took inspiration from Raft, PBFT, as well as Blockchains (because it’s the latest fad) to create a simple BFT algorithm.

INTRODUCTION Constipation may be primary or secondary. Pathophysiologic subtypes of primary constipation are dyssynergic defecation (DD), slow (STC), and normal transit constipation (NTC). Clinical subtypes are functional constipation (FC) and constipation predominant IBS (C-IBS). AIMS The objectives of this paper are to study the clinical profile, categorize and compare various subtypes of p...

The efficiency of genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) depends on power of detection for quantitative trait loci (QTL) and precision for QTL mapping. In this study, three different strategies for GWAS were applied to detect QTL for carcass quality traits in the Korean cattle, Hanwoo; a linkage disequilibrium single locus regression method (LDRM), a combined linkage and linkage disequilibrium...

The physiological mechanism of functional constipation (FC) includes defecatory disorders and delayed colon transit. About 18% to 68% constipated patients may have rectal hyposensitivity (RH). We performed this study to investigate the association between RH and functional defecatory disorder (FDD) as well as that between RH and delayed colon transit in FC patients.A total of 218 FC patients we...

The aim of this study was to establish if pre-synchronization would enhance the number of animals cycling prior to conventional breeding at 45 days irrespective of the length of calf separation. Multiparous Bos indicus cows were allotted in four groups (n = 10). Control group (C) dams remained with their calves; groups G24, G48 and G72, which were partially weaned for 24, 48 and 72 h, respectiv...

Seven birdsfoot trefoil (BFT) varieties (Lotus corniculatus) grown in Sweden, were harvested at the 50% ̄owering stage and analysed for tannins by the radial diffusion and HCl±butanol methods. The ̄avan-3-ol composition of different BFT tannins was determined by HPLC. Tannins were isolated and examined for their molecular weight distributions by HPLC gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and MALD...

Blockchain, a specific distributed database which maintains list of data records against tampering and corruption, has aroused wide interests become hot topic in the real world. Nevertheless, increasingly heavy storage consumption brought by full-replication mechanism, becomes bottleneck to system scalability. To address this problem, reliable scheme named BFT-Store (Qi et al. 2020), int...

The prediction of carcass composition in Hanwoo steers is very important for value-based marketing, and the improvement of prediction accuracy and precision can be achieved through the analyses of independent variables using a prediction equation with a sufficient dataset. The present study was conducted to develop a prediction equation for Hanwoo carcass composition for which data was collecte...

Low dietary energy and decreased intake of herbage have been attributed to the reduced performance grazing dairy cattle. We hypothesized that grasses with inherently greater would interact in a complementary way condensed tannins (CT) birdsfoot trefoil increase by heifers. Eight pasture treatments comprising high-sugar perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata mea...
