DNA replication is a key process in cell division cycle. It is initiated in coordinated manner in several species. To understand the DNA replication in a species one needs to measure the half replication timing (or replication timing) and the efficiency of replication which vary across genome in higher eukaryotes. In the previous studies, no direct assessment of replication efficiency on a geno...

Grid technology, as a highly distributed computing environment, requires an optimized access to the data resources to increase data availability. In this paper, we propose a replication technique which is based on parallel transfers from multiple sites containing replicas of the desired file. From each site, we transport in parallel only a portion of the given data source, obtaining the whole f...

In mobile ad hoc networks, nodes move freely and network partition occurs frequently. To mitigate this problem, data replication is commonly used to increase the data availability and reduce the data access delay. However, most previous work assumed a particular mobility model and could not fully study the effects of mobility on data replication. In this paper, we quantify the effects of mobili...

Empirical studies in agricultural economics usually involve policy implications. In many cases, such rely on proprietary or confidential data that cannot be published along with the article, challenging replicability and credibility of results. To overcome this problem, use synthetic data—that is, do not contain a single unit original data—has been proposed. note, we illustrate utility generati...

Data replication is crucial in enhancing data availability and reducing access latency cloud computing. This paper presents a dynamic duplicate management method for storage systems based on the Inverted Ant Colony Optimization (IACO) algorithm fuzzy logic system. The proposed approach optimizes decisions focusing energy consumption, response time, cost. Extensive simulations demonstrate that I...
