Many popular cloud applications use inter-data center paths; yet, little is known about the characteristics of these “cloud paths”. Over an eighteen month period, wemeasure the intercontinental cloud paths of three providers (Amazon, Google, andMicrosoft) using client side (VM-to-VM)measurements. We find that cloud paths are more predictable compared to public Internet paths, with an order of m...

Rapid transformatIon of discoid hemoglobin SS erythrocytes into grossly distorted sickled forms suggests alteration of surface/volume ratio. We, therefore, examined the effect of deoxygenation on red cell volume. ‘31llaholed albumin was used as a marker of plasma volume in normal (Hb AA), sickle (Hb SS), and sickle-C (Hb SC) blood. Heparinized blood was incubated for 30 mm at 37#{176}Cin a tpno...

We have constructed and operated a nanoscale linear motor powered by a single metal nanocrystal ram sandwiched between mechanical lever arms. Low-level electrical voltages applied to the carbon nanotube lever arms cause the nanocrystal to grow or shrink in a controlled manner. The length of the ram is adjustable from 0 to more than 150 nm, with extension speeds exceeding 1900 nm/s. The thermody...

Guaranteed Annuity Options (GAOs) are options available to holders of certain pension policies. Under these contracts, policyholders contribute premiums into a fund managed by the insurer. At retirement, the policyholders buy life annuities at a guaranteed rate provided by the original insurer, or annuitize with another insurer. If the guaranteed annuity rates are better than the prevailing rat...

This article assesses insurance uptake in three community-based health insurance (CBHI) schemes located in rural parts of two of India's poorest states and offered through women's self-help groups (SHGs). We examine what drives uptake, the degree of inclusive practices of the schemes and the influence of health status on enrolment. The most important finding is that a household's socio-economic...

Noise will be unavoidable during image acquisition process and denosing is an essential step to improve the image quality. Image denoising involves the manipulation of the image data to produce a visually high quality image. Finding efficient image denoising methods is still valid challenge in image processing. Wavelet denoising attempts to remove the noise present in the imagery while preservi...
