The growth of cloud computing has led to uneconomical energy consumption in data processing, storage, and communications. This is unfriendly to the environment, because of the carbon emissions. Therefore, green IT is required to save the environment. The green cloud computing (GCC) approach is part of green IT; it aims to reduce the carbon footprint of datacenters by reducing their energy consu...

This paper analyzes and presents the solar energy research status in the GCC countries using Scopus-database. Its findings may be valuable for researchers, politicians, industry, or decision makers to see how much the participation of the GCC countries in the field of solar energy and how it compares to other countries. The data gathered from Scopus database aided in outlining and identifying t...

Since 1998, StackGuard patches to GCC have been used to protect entire distributions from stack smashing buffer overflows. Performance overhead and software compatibility issues have been minimal. In its history, the parts of GCC that StackGuard has operated in have twice changed enough to require complete overhauls of the StackGuard patch. Since StackGuard is a mature technology, even seeing r...

PURPOSE To design a mathematical model that can predict the relationship between the ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness and visual field sensitivity (VFS) in glaucoma patients. DESIGN Retrospective cross-sectional case series. METHOD Within 3 months from VFS measurements by the Humphrey field analyzer 10-2 program, 83 eyes underwent macular GCC thickness measurements by spectral-domain o...

Following a short report of our preliminary results [Sheeba, Phys. Rev. E 79, 055203(R) (2009)], we present a more detailed study of the effects of coupling delay in diffusively coupled phase oscillator populations. We find that coupling delay induces chimera and globally clustered chimera (GCC) states in delay coupled populations. We show the existence of multiclustered states that act as link...

Goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) is a unique type of mixed endocrine-exocrine neoplasm, almost exclusively seen in the appendix. Historically, it has been variably termed as adenocarcinoid, mucinous carcinoid, microglandular carcinoma, amphicrine neoplasm, mucin-producing neuroendocrine tumor or carcinoma, and crypt cell carcinoma. GCC is the preferred term in the current literature, but this remain...

The most obvious incentive for the FreeBSD project to switch from GCC to Clang was the decision by the Free Software Foundation to switch the license of GCC to version 3 of the GPL. This license is unacceptable to a number of large FreeBSD consumers. Given this constraint, the project had a choice of either maintaining a fork of GCC 4.2.1 (the last GPLv2 release), staying with GCC 4.2.1 forever...

Some extensions of GCC, like those for static analysis, cannot easily be coded in C. A Lisp-like dialect has been designed and implemented (as a translator to C) to fit well into the GCC middle-end. We give key language features, and improvements.We describe the design of its runtime system fitting into GGC. Idioms to interoperate with the evolving GCC internal API are explained.

BACKGROUND The combination of partial absence of the sacrum, anorectal anomalies, and presacral mass constitutes Currarino syndrome (CS), which is associated with mutations in HLXB9. METHODS We analyzed 5 CS families and 6 sporadic cases for HLXB9 mutations by direct sequencing. Potentially pathologic expansions of HLXB9 GCC repeats were analyzed in patients, 4 general populations [Chinese, J...
