Abstract Electrochemical grafting is a suitable technology for fabricating electrode surfaces with new chemical functionalities whilst maintaining the bulk properties of electrode, and electrochemical amine oxidation diazonium salt reduction are two widely used techniques to achieve this end. Herein, we report reductive Azure A onto multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) electrodes efficient wirin...

One of the contemporary hypotheses concerning the evolution of human altruism is the cooperative breeding hypothesis (CBH) which has recently been tested in non-human primates. Using a similar paradigm, we investigated prosociality in a cooperatively breeding corvid, the azure-winged magpie. We found that the magpies delivered food to their group members at high rates, and unlike other corvids,...

This paper aims to focus on the usability evaluation of two interactive and popular cloud PaaS (Platform as a Service) providers namely Microsoft Azure and Appharbor. Usability evaluation has been carried out in two stages: Performance evaluation is carried out by taking CPU Utilization, Memory Usage and Disk Seeking Rate as essential parameters and in next stage customer satisfaction is measur...

Windows Azure Storage (WAS) is a cloud storage system that provides customers the ability to store seemingly limitless amounts of data for any duration of time. WAS customers have access to their data from anywhere, at any time, and only pay for what they use and store. To provide durability for that data and to keep the cost of storage low, WAS uses erasure coding. In this paper we introduce a...
