Cloud computing is a new model of “computing on demand” that is emerging as an alternate to in-house computing. Users “buy” time on these compute-resources as needed without worrying about installing, maintaining or upgrading local infrastructure. Cloud computing is very useful and highly efficient for meeting peak loads, short-term demands, changing user base, and fault tolerance. In associati...

This paper proposes a low-power and area-efficient shift register using pulsed latches. The area and power consumption are reduced by replacing flip-flops with pulsed latches. This method solves the timing problem between pulsed latches through the use of multiple non-overlap delayed pulsed clock signals instead of the conventional single pulsed clock signal. The shift register uses a small num...

The prevalence of low comprehension among deaf readers has been documented for decades, yet the problem persists. Progress has been hampered by uncertainty regarding which aspects of reading competence ought to be the primary focus of concerted instructional efforts. This article examines whether temporary storage capacity and/or processing automaticity may explain the difference in comprehensi...

the Fast growth of data intensive applications has caused a changed in the traditional storage model. The server to disk approach is being replaced by storage area network (SANs), which enables storage to be externalized from the server, thus allowing storage devices to be shared among multiple servers by using threshold cryptography to secure data. A storage area network is a secure high speed...

Introduction Safe disposal of nuclear waste is a difficult problem. Long-term plans are to house nuclear waste permanently in underground facilities. In the near-term however, nuclear waste is stored in temporary storage facilities at various sites around the country. Federal and state regulations require periodic inspection of these storage facilities to insure storage vessel integrity and ver...
