Recently, the case has been made for operational or real-time Business Intelligence (BI). As the traditional separation into OLTP database and OLAP data warehouse obviously incurs severe latency disadvantages for operational BI, hybrid OLTP&OLAP database systems are being developed. The advent of the first generation of such hybrid OLTP&OLAP database systems requires means to characterize their...

frying oils showed an increase in peroxide value (pv) at the initial stages of the frying process followed by a decrease, and there was no correlation between pv and total polar compounds (tpc) in the same set of frying oils. all the frying oils had pvs lower than 4.42 meq o2 kg-1 oil during the frying process and, consequently, none of them was above the limit of 10 meq o2 kg-1 oil for edible ...

It is well known that the dietary intake of blueberries has a positive and profound impact on human health, performance, and disease. The total phenolic contents (TPC), antioxidant and free radical-scavenging properties of aqueous extracts prepared from the berries of two rabbiteye (Vaccinium ashei) and two highbush (V. corymbosum) genotypes of blueberry, were studied in vitro. The results show...

In this paper, we present a fully integrated and automated lab-on-a-disc for the rapid determination of the total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity (AA) of beverage samples. The simultaneous determinations of TPC and AA on a spinning disc were achieved by integrating three independent analytical techniques: the Folin-Ciocalteu method that is used to measure TPC, the 2,2-diphenyl-1...

This research develops and empirically tests a factor model for understanding college students’ acceptance of Tablet PC (TPC) as a means to forecast, explain, and improve their usage pattern in education. The analysis involved more than 230 students from a regional Midwestern institution. Overall, our model exhibited a good fit with the data and provided satisfactory explanatory power for stude...

Recently, we have proposed that the dense local and sparse long-range connectivity of the visual cortex accounts for the rapid and robust transformation of visual stimulus information into a temporal population code, or TPC. In this paper, we combine the canonical cortical computational principle of the TPC model with two other systems: an attention system and a hippocampus model. We evaluate w...

This is a personal account of how the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) came into being and how it created TPC Benchmark(tm) A and B (commonly abbreviated TPCA, TPC-B). I also describe how these tests differ from each other, and from the DebitCredit and TP1 tests, their popular but non-standardized predecessors. Finally, I offer an assessment of the value of the standards develop...

measuring the rate of changes in total polar compounds (tpc) content and polar fractions, the oxidative stability of canola oil during frying process as affected by bene kernel oil (bko, 0.05 and 0.1%) and tert-butylhydroquinone (tbhq, 100ppm) was investigated. it was observed that the tpc content increased linearly with frying time (r2 > 0.98). the canola oil containing the bko (especially 0.1...

In wireless body sensor systems (WB-SNSs), all sensor nodes need energy-efficient techniques due to battery limitations. The transmission power control (TPC) algorithm is a representative technique to reduce energy consumption in WB-SNSs. But the sophisticated control of transmission power is very difficult because of many factors such as sensor placements and human motions. So, we must conside...

sesame (sesamum indicum l.) seed and oil have long been used widely as healthy foods to supply energy and prevent aging. some of the main active anti-oxidative constituents in sesame seeds are γ-tocopherol and phenols. the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between roasting temperature and time with γ-tocopherol and total phenolic compounds (tpc) of sesame seeds when roas...
