A machine of storage, a machine to compute, a machine to envisage, a magical machine of job parallelization all these describing expressions are not enough to picturise the inevitability of a valuable machine – The Computer. The feature of save and retrieve contributed much to the expert working of the system. The volatile and non-volatile levels of storage have been years long-standing foundat...

Energy harvesting capabilities enable totally untethered operation of mobile and ubiquitous systems for extended periods of time without requiring battery replacement. This paper examines technical issues with solar energy harvesting. First, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques are compared in terms of solar cell model, tracking source, and controller style. For energy harvesting in c...

Rice growth and productivity are greatly affected by cold stress, which is likely to become more of a hindrance for high stable rice yields. To identify tolerance at the booting flowering stages in rice, recombinant inbred line was developed crossing cold-tolerant japonica cultivated variety, Jileng1, with cold-sensitive indica Milyang23. The seed setting rate (SST) parents RIL population were ...

One of the last vestiges of closed source proprietary software in current PCs is the PC BIOS. The BIOS, most always written in assembler, operates mostly in 16 bit mode, and provides services that few modern 32 bit operating systems require. Recognizing this, the LinuxBIOS founders began an effort to place a Linux kernel in the ROM of current motherboards– completely removing the legacy BIOS. W...

The most common way to implement full-disk encryption (as opposed to encrypted file systems) in the GNU/Linux operating system is using the encrypted loop device, known as CryptoLoop. We demonstrate clear weaknesses in the current CBC-based implementation of CryptoLoop, perhaps the most surprising being a very simple attack which allows specially watermarked files to be identified on an encrypt...

SUMMARY BioconductorBuntu is a custom distribution of Ubuntu Linux that automatically installs a server-side microarray processing environment, providing a user-friendly web-based GUI to many of the tools developed by the Bioconductor Project, accessible locally or across a network. System installation is via booting off a CD image or by using a Debian package provided to upgrade an existing Ub...
