ILM and tiered storage system are designed to address the challenge of achieving balance between cost and storage performance. However, both of them are hard to implement fully automatic data migration by traditional solutions for which are mainly relying on administrators experience and need huge manual work for data migration according to storage configuration and IO access patterns. This pap...

BACKGROUND Glycogen storage diseases are rare genetic disorders of glycogen synthesis, degradation, or metabolism regulation. When these patients are subjected to anesthesia, perioperative complications can develop, including hypoglycemia, rhabdomyolysis, myoglobinuria, acute renal failure, and postoperative fatigue. The objective of this study was to describe the perioperative course of a coho...

Because dynamic memory management is an important part of a large class of computer programs, high-performance algorithms for dynamic memory management have been, and will continue to be, of considerable interest. Experience indicates that for many programs, dynamic storage allocation is so important that programmers feel compelled to write and use their own domainspecific allocators to avoid t...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects, devices, vehicles, buildings and other items that enables these objects to collect and exchange data. One of the application domains of IoT is smart building where a number of things are efficiently interconnected in order to combine and integrate the physical world to the information space and to provide the services in an effici...

This paper intends to contribute some thoughts to the discussion of the utility of storage systems in the activities of the schools. After explaining the concept of SNA, its functionalities and the benefits obtained in its use, the problems of storage systems management and their application in the domain schools’ activities are focused. The need of analyzing actual trends in the field of stora...

BACKGROUND Effective immunizations require a thorough, multi-step process, yet few studies comprehensively addressed issues around vaccination management. OBJECTIVES To assess variations in vaccination management and vaccination errors in primary care. METHODS A cross sectional, web-based questionnaire survey was performed among 1157 primary physicians from North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany: ...

This paper describes the Object Storage Architecture solution for cost-effective, high bandwidth storage in High Performance Computing (HPC) environments. An HPC environment requires a storage system to scale to very large sizes and performance without sacrificing cost-effectiveness nor ease of sharing and managing data. Traditional storage solutions, including disk-per-node, Storage-Area Netwo...

In distributed storage system, storage service provider (SSP) is a critical component to receive and response these requests from clients. We propose a real-time and flexible management of SSP in this paper. With the advantages from virtualization and cloud computing, the states of SSP main VM are observed by another isolated virtual machine, and the administrator can inspect the storage servic...
