The POOL project has been created to implement a common persistency framework for the LHC Computing Grid (LCG) application area. POOL is tasked to store experiment data and meta data in the multi Petabyte area in a distributed and grid enabled way. First production use of new framework is expected for summer 2003. The project follows a hybrid approach combining C++ Object streaming technology s...

Digital watermarking for relational databases emerged as a candidate solution to provide copyright protection of relational data, maintaining integrity of the database information, tamper detection, traitor tracing etc. In this paper, we introduce the notion of persistent watermarking that serves as a way to recognize the integrity and ownership proof of the database bounded with a set of queri...

OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between annual fills for antidiabetes medications, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), and lipid-lowering agents on hospitalization and Medicare spending for beneficiaries with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Using Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey data from 1997 to 2004, we identified 7,441 community-dwelling beneficiaries wit...

Rapid advances in high-throughput sequencing techniques have created interesting computational challenges in bioinformatics. One of them refers to management of massive amounts of data generated by automatic sequencers. We need to deal with the persistency of genomic data, particularly storing and analyzing these large-scale processed data. To find an alternative to the frequently considered re...

The present study was undertaken to estimate the various measures of lactation persistency and effect non-genetic factors affecting milk production comparison different indices using standard error as percentage mean in Tharparkar cattle. Total 322 records 138 cattle were collected from Animal Genetics Breeding Division National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal 1996 2018 for estimation persiste...

Persistent object management has been always at the centre of the CMS Analysis and Reconstruction Framework (CARF). Already the very first prototypes had an ODBMS database (Objectivity/DB) as the key component. Today, Objectivity/DB is fully integrated into CARF. The present version of CARF offers persistent object management for event structure and meta-data. In particular it manages raw data ...

Do …nancial constraints have persistent e¤ects on the creation of businesses, or should we expect that forward-looking individuals always save their way out of credit constraints? This paper studies the interaction between savings and the decision to become an entrepreneur in a multiperiod model with borrowing constraints to answer this question. The model has a simple threshold property: able ...
