A chieving a secure, sustainable energy future is one of the greatest scientific and societal challenges of our time. Electrical energy storage (EES) plays a vital role in daily life because of our dependence on numerous electronic devices that require mobility. There is also a need for large-scale and inexpensive EES for grid and transportation applications. Electricity generated from renewabl...

Write amplification is a central performance figure of solidstate storage devices. As a result, significant effort has been devoted in the storage systems community to analyzing write amplification in useful scenarios. Analysis here means that a parametrized model is chosen for the device and its incident workload, such that the expected average write amplification can be obtained mathematicall...

SCSI RDMA Protocol (SRP) is used to build high performance Storage Area Networks (SANs) over InfiniBand, or SRP-based IB-SANs for short. The I/O read performance is critical for many read dominant applications, such as multimedia, remote sensing, data backup, etc. However, if I/O accesses focus on a specific storage device of an IB-SAN, the local I/O performance of single device could become th...

Holographic data storage systems (HDSS) have been a promising and very appealing technology since the first laser developments in the sixties. Impact of ongoing advances in the various components needs to be explored in its specific application to HDSS. In this sense, continuous progress is being produced in spatial light modulator (SLM) technology where parallel-addressed liquid crystal on sil...

Self-securing storage prevents intruders from undetectably tampering with or permanently deleting stored data. To accomplish this, self-securing storage devices internally audit all requests and keep all versions of all data for a window of time, regardless of the commands received from potentially compromised host operating systems. Within the window, system administrators are guaranteed to ha...

In this paper we study the retrieval performance of disk storage devices. In general, the fundamental modeling characteristics of disk device technologies are their magnetic/optical nature , the angular and linear velocities, their storage capacities and their transfer rates. Current disk technologies diier in terms of these characteristics. Angular and linear velocities, storage capacities and...

HemaSpot, a novel dried-blood storage filter device, was used for HIV-1 pol resistance testing in 30 fresh United States blood samples and 54 previously frozen Kenyan blood samples. Genotyping succeeded in 79% and 58% of samples, respectively, improved with shorter storage and higher viral load, and had good (86%) resistance mutation concordance to plasma.

Mobile devices have difficulty in sustaining various services as in a wired environment, due to the storage shortage of the mobile device. The research[8] which provides remote storage service for mobile appliances using iSCSI has been conducted to overcome the storage shortage in mobile appliances. In research the proposed cache server performed well with relatively small files of sizes, howev...

Cloud Computing technologies support mobile applications and overcome the low computation resources and limited data storage by providing an on-demand access with pay-as-use rule to large number of computing resources. In this paper, the author describes the architecture of an electronic tourist guide system (Trip@Cloud) as mobile cloud computing application wherein the tourists can access clou...
