This paper discusses the suitability of the Design of Experiments (DOE) methodology for storage performance tuning. The DOE estimates the main and interaction effects of three major storage factors viz, Cache Partition Size (CPS),LUN Strip Size (LSS) and Cache Segment Size (CSS) settings of an enterprise level storage system on the overall storage performance. Other factors influencing performa...

This paper attends to demonstrate the usefulness of Design of Experiments (DOE) method in magnetic refrigeration (MR) understanding and optimization. A numerical DOE is applied to a simple 1D finite difference model describing an Active Magnetic Regenerative Refrigeration (AMRR) system. The heat transfer fluid is water, the regenerator consists of stacked gadolinium plates and the model is base...

The current mission of the Department of Energy Savannah River Operations (DOE-SR) with respect to aluminum-based spent nuclear fuel (Al-SNF) is “to identify and implement appropriate actions for the safe and efficient management of spent nuclear fuel ...including placing these materials in forms suitable for ultimate disposition.” as stated in the Savannah River Site Spent Nuclear Fuel Managem...

The Department of Education (DoE) and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) are regulatory agencies in the system of accreditation that influence both the quality and reputation of colleges and universities. Recent criticism (e.g., Butler, 2012; Obama, 2013b; Weissburg, 2009; Wellman, 1998) of accreditation processes in the United States and changing legislation (i.e., DoE, 2014...

Upper airway endoscopy at rest has been the diagnostic method of choice for equine upper respiratory tract (URT) conditions. Development of high-speed treadmill endoscopy improved the sensitivity of URT endoscopy by allowing observation of the horse's nasopharynx and larynx during exercise. However, treadmill exercise may not always accurately represent the horse's normal exercise as track surf...

The Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP) directs the Department of Energy (DOE) to maintain a viable, timely, and fully documented response option capable of supporting the responsible Lead Federal Agency in the event of a radiological emergency impacting any state or United States territory (e.g., CONUS). In addition, the DOE maintains a response option to support radiological ...
