Today, the paradigm shift in storage architectures from directattached storage to storage area network and network-attached storage, and to emerging standards such as iSCSI, has a strong impact on the requirements for storage management software. The managed storage resources could be disks (from a few disks to a large disk subsystem) or tapes (from a single tape drive to large automated tape l...

statement of the problem: the maintenance of viable periodontal ligament cells is the most important issue in the long-term preservation of avulsed teeth. purpose: the aim of this study was to assess aloe vera as a new storage media in maintaining the cell viability of dry-stored teeth in comparison with soy milk, hank`s balanced salt solution (hbss), and milk. materials and method: twenty one ...

In this essentially Unsolved Problems of Noise (UPoN) paper we further study the question recently posed in Fluctuation and Noise Letters (December 2007), if there is and interaction between bodies with correlated information content, and weather the observed weight transients during/after changing the information content in memory devices is due to a new type of interaction, a new type of "fif...

Wave propagation in unbounded layered media with a new formulation of Axisymmetric Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (AXI-SBFEM) is derived. Dividing the general three-dimensional unbounded domain into a number of independent two-dimensional ones, the problem could be solved by a significant reduction in required storage and computational time. The equations of the corresponding Axisymmetri...

PURPOSE To compare corneal endothelial cell function by measuring corneal thickness during temperature reversal between corneas stored in two different storage media, Optisol GS and Chen Medium (CM). METHODS Twenty paired corneas from 10 human donors were randomly assigned for storage at 4 degrees C in Optisol GS (10 corneas) or CM (10 corneas). The storage media were masked, and measurements...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of four different storage media on the elution of monomers from two composite materials. Samples (n = 10, diameter: 4.5 mm, thickness: 2 mm) of two different composite materials (Ceram X™ & Filtek™ Supreme XT) were stored after polymerization in four different media (NaCl, saliva, ethanol 75% & acetone) for 24 h, 7 days, and 28 days. From the sto...

The large storage requirements of many commerical and scientiic applications cannot be met by magnetic disks due to their high cost and low storage density. Consequently, cheaper and more dense tertiary storage systems are being intergrated into the storage hierarchies of these applications. Although tertiary storage can accomodate large amounts of data, the access latency is very high due to t...

Since 2000, the convergence of new low-cost fast intra-networking technology and very large storage components has enabled completely new solutions to conservation of, and widespread accessibility to, cultural media. In a project commencing during mid 2002, ZKM has investigated the mid-and long-term implications of these technologies in the context both of archival and conservation and also of ...
