freeze-drying is a common preservation technology in the pharmaceutical industry. various studies have investigated the effect of different cryoprotectants on probiotics during freeze-drying. however, information on the effect of cryoprotectants on the stability of some lactobacillus strains during freeze-drying seems scarce. therefore, the aim of the present study was to establish production m...

The most fundamental component of digital preservation is managing the digital objects in archival repositories. Preservation Repositories must archive digital objects and associated metadata on an affordable and reliable type of digital storage. There are many storage options available; each institution should evaluate the available storage options in order to determine which options are best ...

The increasing capacity of storage media could store a huge amount of data while the price per Gigabyte is decreasing. On the other hand users and companies produce much more information that still overruns the available storage capacities. As a consequence, the management and storage of this data is very complex and expensive. Users and apps want to access their files directly and without any ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of media composition and storage method on pre-prepared Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) grafts. METHODS 50 corneas were used. Endothelial wound healing and proliferation in different media were assessed using a standard injury model. DMEK grafts were stored using three methods: peeling with free scroll storage; partial peeling with storage on...

background: tooth avulsion is one of the most severe dental traumas which most often occur in children. when immediate replantation is not possible, storage in a proper media may lead to a prolonged survival rate. aloe vera is a cactus like plant with green, tapered leaves that are filled with a transparent viscous gel. this medicinal plant has significant anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiba...

We present the design of a log-structured tertiary storage system (LTS). The advantage of this approach is that it allows the system to hide the details of jukebox robotics and media characteristics behind a uniform, random access, block-oriented interface. It also allows the system to avoid media mount operations for writes, giving write performance similar to that of secondary storage.

We present a jukebox scheduler for real-time data. The scheduler is part of a hierarchical real-time file system to be used over a network. A jukebox is a large tertiary storage device whose removable media (e.g. cd-rom, dvd-rom) are loaded and unloaded from one or more drives by a robot. The problem with tertiary storage is that media exchange times are high and the number of drives is limited...

I.INTRODUCTION In this paper with the potentially unlimited storage space offered by cloud providers, users tend to use a large amount space as they can and vendors continually look for techniques aimed to reduce redundant data and exploit space savings. A technique which has been widely adopted is crossuser deduplication. The simple idea behind deduplication is to accumulate duplicate data onl...
