The amount of data hosted by Internet servers and data centers is increasing at a remarkable pace requiring more capable and more e cient servers. However, physical e ciency does not necessarily correlate with computational e ciency. In fact, independent studies reveal that Internet servers are mostly over provisioned even though additional servers are deployed each year. Understanding the char...

Demand-response management is an approach that includes the power demand side into the power management process to reshape power demand of consumers to the current availability of power. Data centres are major energy consumers that are highly interesting for demandresponse management. However, in contrast to many other energy consumers, data centres have a highly dynamic flexibility in terms of...

We consider threshold production of arbitrary number of Higgs particles ρ by fermion-antifermion pair f f̄ . The nullification of amplitudes for the special case mρ = 2mf is explained in terms of hidden symmetry of the reduced effective dynamics. supported by the Lódź University grant No.269. supported by KBN grant No. 5 P03B 06021

In this paper we consider radial DEA models without inputs (or without outputs), and radial DEA models with a single constant input (or with a single constant output). We demonstrate that (i) a CCR model without inputs (or without outputs) is meaningless; (ii) a CCR model with a single constant input (or with a single constant output) coincides with the corresponding BCC model; (iii) a BCC mode...

The WFCC-MIRCEN World Data Centre for Microorganisms (WDCM) was set up more than 30 years ago as a data center of the World Federation for Culture Collections (WFCC). It published the World Directory of Collections of Cultures of Microorganisms when it was established and now provides a portal site for microbial resource centers and their customers by fully utilizing Internet technology. This p...

Microtubule nucleation within cells is catalyzed by γ-tubulin ring complexes localized at specific microtubule-organizing centers. In this issue, Muroyama et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201601099) reveal heterogeneity in the composition and function of these complexes, with wide implications for how cells organize their microtubule arrays.
