With rapidly decreasing storage costs, temporal document databases are now a viable solution in many contexts. However, storing an ever-growing database can still be too costly, and as a consequence it is desirable to be able to physically delete old versions of data. Traditionally, this has been performed by an operation called vacuuming, where the oldest versions are physically deleted or mig...

introduction: this study aims to compare the cognitive performance of patients with multiple sclerosis (ms) in the field of autobiographical, prospective and working memory compared to normal people. method: in a causal-comparative study using convenience sampling 200 patients with ms (100 were affected less and 100 were affected more than 2 years (and 100 healthy individuals were matched regar...

Optimal index configurations for in-memory databases differ significantly from configurations for their traditional disk-based counterparts. Operations such as full column scans that have previously been prohibitively expensive in disk-based and row-oriented databases are now computationally feasible with columnar main memory-resident data structures and even outperform index-based accesses in ...

extended kalman filtering (ekf) is a nonlinear dynamic data reconciliation (nddr) method. one of its main advantages is its suitability for on-line applications. this paper presents an on-line nddr method using ekf. it is implemented for two case studies, temperature measurements of a distillation column and concentration measurements of a cstr. in each time step, random numbers with zero mean ...
