Distributed hash tables have been proposed as a way to simplify the construction of large-scale distributed applications (e.g. [1, 6]). DHTs are completely decentralized systems that provide block storage on a changing collection of nodes spread throughout the Internet. Each block is identified by a unique key. DHTs spread the load of storing and serving blocks across all of the active nodes an...

We introduce a method for computing the difference between a pattern string (data block or file) and a much larger, iteratively updated set of strings (an entire file system or cache thereof), while only examining a small fraction of this set. We show how our method generalizes existing algorithms used in a unique block storage system (venti), and a low bandwidth network file system (LBFS), and...

Strategies for reducing the sugar content of beverages and foods are viewed as critical to global public health. Observational studies (Bundrick, Thearle, Venti, Krakoff,& Votruba, 2014; Dubois, Farmer, Girard,& Peterson, 2007; Liebman et al., 2003; Schulze et al., 2004; Troiano, Briefel, Carroll, & Bialostosky, 2000), intervention trials (Chen et al., 2009; Tordoff & Alleva, 1990), and systema...

Herbicide resistance is an example of plant evolution caused by an increased reliance on herbicides with few sites of action to manage weed populations. This micro-evolutionary process depends on fitness, therefore the assessment of fitness differences between susceptible and resistant populations are pivotal to establish management strategies. Loose silky bentgrass (Apera spica-venti) is a ser...

Abstract Between 2015 and 2020 a study was conducted on the diversity of ruderal vegetation Stellarietea mediae class territory Ukraine. It discovered that this consists 48 associations from 12 alliances 5 orders ( Aperetalia spicae-venti , Atriplici-Chenopodietalia albi Eragrostietalia Papaveretalia rhoeadis Sisymbrietalia sophiae ). Based results ordination analysis it found distribution annu...

L’obiettivo del volume – diviso in due parti: «L’invention du barresisme» (pp. 39-236); «Se deprendre d’un maitre: de quelques admirateurs devenus “contre-lecteurs”»  239-751) non e quello di dimostrare la modernita Barres, bensi documentare spiegare come il “barresismo” sia stato un fenomeno importante tra fine dell’Ottocento l’inizio Novecento almeno fino agli anni Venti: «Nous ne croyons pas...
