Multiple virtual machine (VM) workloads are increasingly common, given the growth of managed enterprise application systems and consolidated virtual servers. Until now, there has been no principled approach to partitioning memory resource between multiple co-located VMs. In this paper, we develop a general framework for multi-VM heap sizing, based on the principle of utility maximization from m...

to reduce the storing space and handling costs for hay/straw bales, recompressing the original bales after adequate hay drying is recommended. in this project, a recompression machine was designed, constructed and evaluated. solidwork and nastran software were employed to model, and to analyze the stresses in the components of the machine, respectively. the components of the machine consisted o...

Extraction of high quality RNA is a critical step in molecular genetics studies. Hazelnut is one of the most important nuts plants in the world. The presence of the taxol and other taxanes in hazelnut plant necessitates explaining their biosynthesis pathway and identifying the candidate genes. Therefore, an easy and practical method is necessary for RNA extraction from hazelnuts. Hazelnut has h...

Pseudomonas avellanae (Pav) has been reported as the causal agent of bacterial decline and bacterial canker of hazelnut in Italy and Greece, respectively. Both hazelnut diseases were reported to be similar in terms of symptoms, severity and persistence. In this study, we found that both symptomatic and asymptomatic trees in the field were colonized by Pav. Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) anal...

We have designed kits of flexibly configurable components that students use to quickly wind and construct dc motors, permanent-magnet (pm) machines, and induction motors. They can use these machines to verify design calculations, test their understanding of the machine operating principles, and to test power electronic drives that they also design and construct. In class, the properties of diff...

Food allergies to hazelnut represent an important health problem in industrialized countries because of their high prevalence and severity. Food allergenicity can be changed by several processing procedures since food proteins may undergo modifications which could alter immunoreactivity. High-hydrostatic pressure (HHP) is an emerging processing technology used to develop novel and high-quality ...
