In this report we describe how we adapted the Parallel Log Structured Filesystem (PLFS) to enable HPC applications to be able read and write data from the HDFS cloud storage subsystem. Our enhanced version of PLFS provides HPC applications with the ability to concurrently write from multiple compute nodes into a single file stored in HDFS, thus allowing HPC applications to checkpoint. Our resul...

Altered hippocampal synaptic plasticity may underlie age-related memory impairment. In acute hippocampal slices from aged (22-24 mo) and young adult (1-12 mo) male Brown Norway rats, extracellular excitatory postsynaptic field potentials were recorded in CA1 stratum radiatum evoked by Schaffer collateral stimulation. We used enhanced Ca(2+) to Mg(2+) ratio and paired-pulse stimulation protocol ...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of using an online logistics certification learning environment as a training tool to equip future logisticians with required logistics skills. This study incorporates an online logistics certification website that was constructed for college students to familiarize themselves with the certification. In addition, this study also perfor...

Introduction Common practices in current urban logistics planning in Scandinavia and the UK, and the degree to which SUTP (Sustainable Urban Transport Plan), SUMP (Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans) and SULP (Sustainable Urban Logistics Plans) guidelines are used, are examined in this paper. Methods A systematic literature review identifies relevant studies based on predefined inclusion criteria...

For the special relationship between logistics service quality and customer loyalty under the environment of C2C, on the basis of the three dimensions of Operation Logistics Service Quality, Relationship Logistics Service Quality and Cost Logistics Service Quality, the paper analyzed the relationship between customer satisfaction for third-party logistics service quality and customer loyalty fo...
