Scalable Workload Adaptation for Mixed Workload
Workload adaptation is a performance management process in which an autonomic database management system (DBMS) efficiently makes use of its resources by filtering or controlling the workload presented to it in order to meet its Service Level Objectives (SLOs). The overhead incurred by filtering or controlling the workload is an important factor affecting the effectiveness of workload adaptatio...
متن کاملHow to make a functional β-cell.
Insulin-secreting pancreatic β-cells are essential regulators of mammalian metabolism. The absence of functional β-cells leads to hyperglycemia and diabetes, making patients dependent on exogenously supplied insulin. Recent insights into β-cell development, combined with the discovery of pluripotent stem cells, have led to an unprecedented opportunity to generate new β-cells for transplantation...
متن کاملAdiponectin and β-Cell Adaptation in Pregnancy.
Pregnancy poses a unique physiological challenge to the pancreatic b-cells. For normal glucose tolerance to be maintained in the setting of the insulin resistance of late gestation, the b-cells must markedly increase their secretion of insulin. It is believed that this enhanced secretion is achieved through the expansion of b-cell mass in response to circulating factors, including prolactin and...
متن کاملVisual adaptation: physiology, mechanisms, and functional benefits.
Recent sensory experience affects both perception and the response properties of visual neurons. Here I review a rapid form of experience-dependent plasticity that follows adaptation, the presentation of a particular stimulus or ensemble of stimuli for periods ranging from tens of milliseconds to minutes. Adaptation has a rich history in psychophysics, where it is often used as a tool for disse...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms involved in Sertoli cell adaptation to glucose deprivation.
Sertoli cells provide the physical support and the necessary environment for germ cell development. Among the products secreted by Sertoli cells, lactate, the preferred energy substrate for spermatocytes and spermatids, is present. Considering the essential role of lactate on germ cell metabolism, it is supposed that Sertoli cells must ensure its production even in adverse conditions, such as t...
