Recently, the in-page logging (IPL) scheme has been proposed to improve the overall write performance of flash memory by avoiding costly erase operations that would be caused by small random write requests common in database applications. In this paper, we identify the problems inherent in the existing design of disk-based B-tree index, and present the design and implementation of the IPL B-tre...

conclusions it seems that applying prp is an effective therapeutic approach for wound healing, and faster wound healing is expected due to the presence of more platelets and growth factors. results at the end of study, the prp group showed a greater reduction in the edema ecchymosed discharge approximation (reeda) score compared to the control group (85.5% reduction in the prp group; 72% in the...

Background: Feeding intolerance is prevalent in very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates and is a barrier for better and faster growth in these neonates. Some studies have supported the administration of oral probiotic to decrease feeding intolerance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of probiotic on feeding intolerance in VLBW neonates. Methods: This randomized clinical trial st...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of roasted soybean and sunflower meal on the consumption and growth performance of lambs from the Blackhead Pleven Breed. The results indicated that the addition of roasted soybean caused the lambs to grow significantly faster than those fed sunflower meal (P

Six species of phytoplankton recently isolated from upper San Francisco Bay were tested for their sensitivity to growth inhibition by ammonium (NH4+ ), and for differences in growth rates according to inorganic nitrogen (N) growth source. The quantum yield of photosystem II (Fv /Fm ) was a sensitive indicator of NH4+ toxicity, manifested by a suppression of Fv /Fm in a dose-dependent manner. Tw...

We propose a new approach, called dynamic program and erase scaling (DPES), for improving the endurance of NAND flash memory. The DPES approach is based on our key finding that the NAND endurance is dependent on the erase voltage as well as the number of P/E cycles. Since the NAND endurance has a near-linear dependence on the erase voltage, lowering the erase voltage is an effective way of impr...
