Although Red Brick performance depends primarily on the logical database design, the placement and allocation of data files in the disk subsystem is another significant performance factor. There are many choices in the configuration and design of the physical database layout. This article reviews best practices propagated by storage and database vendors and presents measurements that compare st...

Solid burnt brick sized 290 × 140 × 65 mm or 303 × 145 × 70 mm respectively, represents one of most widespread brick building material, both structural and nonbearing ones, in Czech historical buildings. During their rebuilding and reconstruction, we frequently ask for brickwork material strength. Most exact method is to take test samples just from the construction and put them to trial neverth...

Since the mid-19th century, direct measurements of both intensity and direction Earth's magnetic field have been available, allowing an accurate determination its spatio-temporal variations. Prior to this time, between ~1600 1840, only directional are available. Therefore, construction global models over period requires either a specific treatment axial dipole component or use archeomagnetic da...
