Most large-scale organizations adopted Cloud Computing (CC) on a company level in recent years. Managers now face the challenge to appropriately implement CC "operationally", i.e., for information systems (ISs). We refer this as post-adoption, addressing extent of technology usage after adoption. Specifically, managers need choose among delivery models Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platfo...

Although the postsynaptic events responsible for development of pathological pain have been intensively studied, the relative contribution of presynaptic neurotransmitters to the whole process remains less elucidated. In the present investigation, we sought to measure temporal changes in spinal release of both excitatory amino acids (EAAs, glutamate and aspartate) and inhibitory amino acids (IA...

The users without sufficient computing resources habitually enjoy the Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas) from the cloud providers. The IaaS provider, in turn, achieves immense financial gains when the demand by the clients reaches a summit level. In the related scenarios, the task scheduling emerges a significant daunting challenge for the provider to offer the Quality of Service (QoS). The ear...

Auxin/indole acetic acids (Aux/IAAs) and auxin response factors (ARFs), major components of the Aux signaling network, are involved in many developmental processes in plants. Investigating their evolution will provide new sight on the relationship between the molecular evolution of these genes and the increasing morphotypes of plants. We constructed comparative analyses of the retention, struct...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease which results from the destruction of pancreatic beta cells. Autoantibodies directed against islet antigens are valuable diagnostic tools. Insulin autoantibodies (IAAs) are usually the first to appear and also the most difficult to detect amongst the four major islet autoantibodies. A non-radioactive IAA bridging ELISA was developed to this end. In...

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is one of three key cloud market segments, that include also Platform (PaaS) and Software (SaaS). Representing less than third the entire market, this segment projected to keep higher pace growth over next few years. But mainly driven by leaders - technology companies with diversified international business, thereby increasing concentration largest players in ...

Services computing is penetrating IT and computing technology at every level, encompassing the Web, the cloud, big data, business process modeling, and more. One feature that distinguishes cloud computing from conventional distributed computing is its hierarchical organization of computing capabilities as services, represented by infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS),...

A cyber range (CR) is an environment used for training security experts and testing attack defense tools procedures. Usually, a simulates one or more critical infrastructures that attacking (red) defending (blue) teams must compromise protect, respectively. The infrastructure can be physically assembled, but much convenient to rely on the Infrastructure as Service (IaaS) paradigm. Although some...

More often than not, a “cloud” refers to an “Infrastructure-as-a-Service” (IaaS) cloud, such as Amazon EC2, where IT infrastructure is deployed in a cloud provider’s datacenter in the form of virtual machines. With the growing popularity of IaaS clouds, an ecosystem of tools and technologies is emerging that can transform an organization’s existing infrastructure into a private cloud or a hybri...
