ILM and tiered storage system are designed to address the challenge of achieving balance between cost and storage performance. However, both of them are hard to implement fully automatic data migration by traditional solutions for which are mainly relying on administrators experience and need huge manual work for data migration according to storage configuration and IO access patterns. This pap...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an emerging technology in the building industry. Many researchers have demonstrated how to enhance material control or production management with RFID. However, there is a lack of integrated understanding of lifecycle management. This paper develops and demonstrates a framework to Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) with RFID for material control. The...

AIMS To compare the retinal sensitivity and frequency of microscotomas found by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) combined with scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) microperimetry after idiopathic macular hole closure, in eyes that underwent internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and eyes that did not. METHODS This was a retrospective, non-randomised, comparative study. C...

Aims: To investigate the ultrastructure of the vitreoretinal interface in patients with vitreomacular traction syndrome. Methods: 14 patients with vitreomacular traction syndrome underwent standard pars plana vitrectomy. After induction of posterior vitreous detachment, epiretinal tissue and the inner limiting membrane (ILM) of the retina were removed, and processed for transmission electron mi...

Delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity (DCH) of 12 normal adult subjects to purified protein derivative (PPD) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, streptococcal streptokinase-streptodornase (SK-SD), and Candida albicans Dermatophytin O (DO) was assayed in vivo by skin testing and compared with such in vitro correlates of cellular immunity as lymphocyte transformation (LT) and inhibition of leukocyte migr...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of vitrectomy on the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and postoperative complications in highly myopic eyes with myopic traction maculopathy. METHODS The medical records of 71 eyes of 64 patients with myopic traction maculopathy and high myopia (≤-8.0 diopters and axial length, ≥26.0 mm) were reviewed. Twenty-six eyes had only macular retinoschisis, 30 eyes h...

To the Editor:-The optimal breathing tube for use during resection and reconstruction of proximal and midtracheal lesions should be a long, flexible, reinforced tube that can be manipulated easily during surgery without kinking.’ The tube should have a short, low-pressure, highvolume cuff and a very short segment beyond the cuff to allow bilateral lung ventilation through short tracheal stumps....
