background: blood is permanently exposed to oxidation stress and therefore has a high antioxidants capacity. many different factors increasing the demand for the antioxidant capacity can be observed in the stored blood of donors. consequently, damage to erythrocytes by free radicals may occur. so it is useful to control the alternation of anti-oxidant enzymes in stored blood at different days o...

December 2002 35 S torage is the computer age’s unsung technical marvel. For years, users and analysts have focused attention on the microprocessors that gave rise to the personal computer and to the networks that became the Internet. But nothing from playing solitaire on your notebook to multimillion-dollar online stock trades would be possible without storage. Without storage, a computer woul...

In this paper we describe a storage system called Violet that efficiently marries fine-grained host side data management with capacity optimized backend disk systems. Currently, for efficiency reasons, real-time analytics applications are forced to map their in-memory graph like data structures on to columnar databases or other intermediate disk friendly data structures when they are persisting...

Storage is undoubtedly one of the main resources in data grids, and planning the capacity of storage nodes is an important step in any data-grid design. This paper focuses on storage-capacity planning for data grids. We have developed a tool to calculate, for a specific scenario, the minimum capacity required for each storage node in a grid, and we have used this tool to show that different str...

quality and flesh colour characteristics of blood oranges following harvest is related to and dependent upon temperature and storage conditions. to investigate the effects of different temperatures (8, 15 and 22ºc) and different storage period (0, 25, 50 and 75 days) on total soluble solids, titrable acidity, ph, ascorbic acid, total phenolic contents, antioxidant capacity, anthocyanin level, a...

Thinning is a crucial practice in the forest ecosystem management. The soil infiltration rate and water storage capacity of pine-oak mixed forest under three different thinning intensity treatments (15%, 30%, and 60%) were studied in Qinling Mountains of China. The thinning operations had a significant influence on soil infiltration rate and water storage capacity. The soil infiltration rate an...
