We investigate colors and mass-to-light ratios (M/Ls) of the bulges and disks for 28 nearby spiral galaxies with various morphological types of Sab to Scd, using images in optical and near-infrared (V , I, and J) bands and published rotation curves. It is shown that the observed colors and M/Ls generally agree with the galaxy formation model with an exponentially declining star formation rate a...

This paper demonstrates ETLMR, a novel dimensional Extract– Transform–Load (ETL) programming framework that uses MapReduce to achieve scalability. ETLMR has built-in native support of data warehouse (DW) specific constructs such as star schemas, snowflake schemas, and slowly changing dimensions (SCDs). This makes it possible to build MapReduce-based dimensional ETL flows very easily. The ETL pr...

We report the first extragalactic detection of the pure rotational H2 S(0) and S(1) lines at 28.2 and 17.0 m in the central 130 pc molecular complex of the nearby Scd galaxy NGC 6946. We deduce a temperature of this gas component of 170 K and a mass of 5 106 M for an ortho/para ratio of 3, corresponding to the ratio of statistical weights. The warm gas is confined to a 500 (135 pc) diameter reg...

From the point of view of a data warehouse system its part of collecting and receiving information from other systems is crucial for all subsequent business intelligence applications. The incoming information can be classified generally in two types, the state-snapshot data and the state-change or event data usually called transactional data, which contains information about the change processe...

We present 21-cm H i line and 408 MHz and 1.4 GHz continuum observations of the Magellanic dwarf galaxy UGCA 86, made with the DRAO synthesis telescope. UGCA 86 is detected in the continuum at both frequencies, with 408 MHz flux density S 408 = 120 ± 30 mJy and 1.4 GHz flux density S 1400 = 79 ± 3 mJy. The H i structure of UGCA 86 is complex, with two separate components: a rotating disk and a ...

2. The percentage of children whose confirmatory testing results were communicated to their families by 4 months of age. In children with SCD, illness and death can be reduced through early diagnosis, treatment of complications, systematic follow-up, and patient/parent education. In particular, timely confirmatory testing and prompt communication with families are steps that pave the way for in...

With the widespread and increasing use of data warehousing in industry, the design of effective data warehouses and their maintenance has become a focus of attention. Independently of this, the area of temporal databases has been an active area of research for well beyond a decade. This article identifies shortcomings of so-called star schemas, which are widely used in industrial warehousing, i...

There is a growing number of different research fields that are concerned with bibliographic data analysis. In many cases, data of interest can be described as heterogeneous information networks. To explore knowledge from that networks in a multidimensinal way, OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) analysis helps users to access data from different points of views. The ability of OLAP for analyzi...
