Magnetic storage, specifically in hard drives has advanced significantly since the first disk drive built in 1956 [1]. Interestingly enough, most of the changes thus far have been realized by scaling the components of a disk drive [1]. In recent years, the superparamagnetic limit has been seen as a possible limit to the rapid increase in hard drive capacities. Antiferromagnetically coupled (AFC...

Dynamic skyline query is one of the most popular and significant variants of skyline query in the field of multi-criteria decision-making. However, designing a distributed dynamic skyline query possesses greater challenge, especially for the distributed data centric storage within wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this paper, a novel Enhanced Distributed Dynamic Skyline (EDDS) approach is pro...

For applications with large data sets, e.g., video servers, magnetic disks have established themselves as the mass storage device of choice. A technique to increase the storage capacity of disks is zoning. A side-eeect of zoning is that it introduces a disk drive with variable transfer rates. This chapter describes techniques to support a continuous display of constant-bit rate video and audio ...

Novel properties originating from the combination of magnetism with the reduced dimensionality of nanoobjects are of considerable interest for fundamental science but are also readily used in a wide range of technological applications. To fulfill the demand for larger capacities of storage systems, complex magnetic heterostructures of a nanometer size are envisioned as future magnetic storage m...

The low cost per megabyte of optical disk and magnetic tape storage make these technologies particularly attractive for use in large capacity storage servers, including multimedia servers. However, these devices have performance problems that range from high costs for many optical drives to low performance and lack of random access in tape drives. We evaluate the performance on multimedia appli...

recently, the hypothesis in which memory and information would be stored as magnetic forms in astrocytes is expanding and neuromagnetic interactions between neurons and neighboring astrocytes in neocortex have potential to be the basis of memory formation. it has been proposed that all sorts of information may be maintained in form of neuronal activity-associated magnetic fields (naamfs) and th...
