Many large-scale online services use structured storage to persist metadata and sometimes data. The structured storage is typically provided by standard database servers such as Microsoft’s SQL Server. It is important to understand the workloads seen by these servers, both for provisioning server hardware as well as to exploit opportunities for energy savings and server consolidation. In this p...

Abstract 2-dimensional (2D) block spread direct sequence-code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) allows mutli-rate without causing uplink multi-access interference (MAI) in the presence of a frequency-selective fading channel. However, in a cellular system, the inter-cell interference remains. The site selection diversity (SSD) can be used to reduce the inter-cell interference and increase the ...

We discuss the possibility of new generation neutrino and astroparticle physics experiments exploiting a super-conducting magnetized liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC). The possibility to complement the features of the LAr TPC with those provided by a magnetic field has been considered in the past and has been shown to open new physics opportunities, in particular in the context of ...

The Xenoscope detector has the main goal of achieving electron drift over a 2.6 m distance, which is scale future multi-ton dual-phase liquid xenon (LXe) TPCs for dark matter and rare event searches. DARWIN experiment aims to have 40 tons LXe as its active volume, reaching neutrino floor background. will serve facility photosensors technologies testing, in order develop next generation detector...

SQL query processing for analytics over Hadoop data has recently gained significant traction. Among many systems providing some SQL support over Hadoop, Hive is the first native Hadoop system that uses an underlying framework such as MapReduce or Tez to process SQL-like statements. Impala, on the other hand, represents the new emerging class of SQL-on-Hadoop systems that exploit a shared-nothin...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant potential, and total phenolic content (TPC) of green and red kohlrabi cultivars. Anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory activities were evaluated via protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP1B) and rat lens aldose reductase inhibitory assays and cell-based lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) inhi...
