I. Introduction In cloud computing, the cloud service providers (CSPs), such as Amazon, are able to deliver various services to cloud users with the help of powerful datacenters [1]. Cloud can provide a pool of resources to many user and organization without investment of infrastructure. Cloud computing also includes online applications, such as those offered through the configurable resources ...

The human ATP-binding cassette family C member 6 (ABCC6) gene encodes an ABC transporter protein (ABCC6), primarily expressed in liver and kidney. Mutations in the ABCC6 gene cause pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), an autosomal recessive connective tissue disease characterized by ectopic mineralization of the elastic fibers. The pathophysiology underlying PXE is incompletely understood, which can...

An Augmented Virtual Environment (AVE) provides a means of fusing dynamic imagery on a 3D model substrate. The AVE approach allows users to visualize and comprehend multiple streams of imagery (video and still images) in a four-dimensional context. The addition of projected live or recorded imagery to an otherwise static virtual environment creates an AVE. Our methods are described in the conte...

Virtualization enables the building of multiple virtual networks over a shared substrate. One of the challenges to virtualisation is efficient resource allocation. This problem has been found to be NP hard. Therefore, most approaches to it have not only proposed static solutions, but have also made many assumptions to simplify it. In this paper, we propose a distributed, autonomic and artificia...

in recent years, virtual communities have been significantly popular and almost all of them are targeted for business profitability. in our study, the profitability of these communities for businesses has been analyzed from a commercial perspective. the study considers virtual community as a business model which can have a great impact on consumer purchase decision process. with respect to refe...

allopurinol, the xanthine oxidase inhibitor, is the only drug available for the treatment of gout. we examined the xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity of some commercially available flavonoids such asepigallocatechin, acacatechin, myricetin, naringenin, daidzein and glycitein by virtual screening and in-vitro studies. the interacting residues within the complex model and their contact types we...

Silicon-Germanium Heterojunction Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-EffectTransistors (SiGe HMOSFETs) have been successfully fabricated on Si substrate. The semiconductor heterostructure, which was grown by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy (GS-MBE), was initiated by the deposition of a Si0.7Ge0.3 “virtual substrate”. The n-type transistors were fabricated using a standard MOS process. The channel...

Virtual network mapping (VNM) is to build a network on demand by deploying virtual machines in a substrate network, subject to constraints on capacity, bandwidth and latency. It is critical to data centers for coping with dynamic cloud workloads. This paper shows that VNM can be approached by graph pattern matching, a well-studied database topic. (1) We propose to model a virtual network reques...
