We present Ring ORAM, a simple and low-latency ORAM construction that can be parameterized for either small or large client storage. Simply by tuning parameters, Ring ORAM matches or exceeds the performance of the best-known small and large client storage schemes and can achieve a constant factor online bandwidth overhead over insecure systems. We evaluate Ring ORAM in theory and in practice. O...

This study investigated the effects of ultraviolet-A (UV-A) and ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light on the mechanical properties in oyster mushrooms during the growth. Experiments were carried out with irradiation of the mushrooms with UV-A (365 nm) and UV-C (254 nm) light during growth. The exposure time ranged from 10 minutes to 60 minutes at intervals of 10 minutes and irradiation was done for three ...

Several pBR DNA plasmid storage conditions were evaluated in this study, including the storage form (liquid or dried on 3M paper), the buffer used to dissolve the plasmid, and temperature. Storage in the liquid form resulted in increased colony formation compared to DNA dried on paper, which is a more convenient and often preferred method for shipping plasmids. The TE buffer was superior to aut...

BACKGROUND Accumulating evidence suggests that transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) stored for >14 days is associated with increased rates of sepsis, multiple organ dysfunction, and mortality in human patients. OBJECTIVE To determine if duration of PRBC storage has an effect on morbidity and mortality in dogs after transfusion. ANIMALS Dogs admitted to the Matthew J Ryan Veterinary...

BACKGROUND Assisted reproductive techniques have been used in China for more than 20 years. This study investigates the attitudes of surplus embryo holders towards embryos storage and donation for medical research. METHODS A total of 363 couples who had completed in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment and had already had biological children but who still had frozen embryos in storage were inv...

Background & objectives: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers have many applications in the food industry. Although there are numerous advantages for PET it also has some disadvantages, one of which is the migration of materials from the container into the material inside. In this study, the effect of two factors of storage time and temperature on the migration rate was evaluated and mod...

The von Willebrand factor propeptide, vW AgII, has been shown to be required for the formation of vWF multimers and sorting of vWF to storage granules; whether these 2 processes are independent events has been unclear. Chimeric constructs of human and canine vWF were developed to further define these processes and to determine whether they are independent intracellular events. Cells expressing ...

thinking about the economics of huntergatherer food storage, this critical component of many foraging economies and important factor in the evolution of complex social systems remains poorly understood, leading Kuijt (2009:641) to recently lament that “archaeologists have yet to develop a detailed understanding of the scale of economic contributions of food storage in preagriculturalist communi...

paper presents a mathematical model to measure the amount by which a computer's speed i s reduced when it time-shares storage with other computers and I/() channels. The method can be applied to any number of processors and/or channels and storage units, although the complexity of the solution does increase rapidly as the number of processors increases. Explicit formulas and numerical results a...
