With the energy and power costs increasing alongside the growth of the IT infrastructures, achieving workload concentration and high availability in cloud computing environments is becoming more and more complex. Virtual machine (VM) migration has become an important approach to address this issue, particularly; live migration of the VMs across the physical servers facilitates dynamic workload ...

Using two-photon fluorescence anisotropy imaging of actin-GFP, we have developed a method for imaging the actin polymerization state that is applicable to a broad range of experimental systems extending from fixed cells to live animals. The incorporation of expressed actin-GFP monomers into endogenous actin polymers enables energy migration FRET (emFRET, or homoFRET) between neighboring actin-G...

Rural-Urban migration plays an important role in poverty reduction and economic development. In Bangladesh rural-urban migration is the most important factor for rapid urbanization with urban slums being a popular destination for poor rural-urban migrants. More than 15 million people live in the slums of six divisional cities of Bangladesh. Capital Dhaka alone contains about 3.4 million people ...

Virtual Machines need migration from the present host to an another appropriate one due to error in the present hardware or presently loaded scenario causing slowness of execution. Most of the situations fall into second category leading to a solution called live migration. Here, in live migration the virtual machine runs for sometime on the present host while its required data gets transferred...

The “New Great Migration” of blacks to the South was and continues to be one of the most important demographic shifts in recent U.S. history, and refers to a black net-migration reversal in the South from negative to positive in the 1970s for the first time since before the Great Migration of blacks out of the region in the early and middle parts of the twentieth century. While prior research h...

Virtual machines (VM) offer simple and practical mechanisms to address many of the manageability problems of leveraging heterogeneous computing resources. VM live migration is an important feature of virtualization in cloud computing: it allows administrators to transparently tune the performance of the computing infrastructure. However, VM live migration may open the door to security threats. ...

BACKGROUND Recently, 18F-tetrafluoroborate (TFB) was used as a substrate for the human sodium/iodide symporter (hNIS) reporter gene. This study evaluated the feasibility of performing molecular-genetic imaging by using the new radiotracer (18F-TFB) for the hNIS gene, to track dendritic cell (DC) migration in live mice. A murine dendritic cell line (DC2.4) co-expressing the hNIS and effluc genes...
