This paper describes the design of a cloud computing platform e-Science Central (eSC) which provides both Software and Platform as a Service for scientific data management, analysis and collaboration. e-SC can be deployed on both private (e.g. Eucalyptus) and public Clouds (Amazon AWS and Microsoft Windows Azure). The SaaS application allows scientists to upload data, edit and run workflows, an...

The subjects addressed in this thesis are inspired from research problems faced by the Lokad company. These problems are related to the challenge of designing efficient parallelization techniques of clustering algorithms on a Cloud Computing platform. Chapter 2 provides an introduction to the Cloud Computing technologies, especially the ones devoted to intensive computations. Chapter 3 details ...

Long-range forecasting of heat/cold waves is a topical issue nowadays. High computational complexity of numerical and statistical models’ design is a bottleneck for the forecast process. In this work, Windows Server 2012 R2 virtual machines are used as a high-performance tool for the speed-up of the computational process. Six D-series and one standard tier A-series virtual machines were hosted ...

The core bases of intelligent ubiquitous computing environments are ubiquitous network infrastructure and the related services. Telecommunication service industry includes such ubiquitous network infrastructure and most of related services, and it leads to simultaneous growth of network, terminal, software and contents etc., by placing at the top of value chain of IT industry. In this special i...

leukocyte physiology related to the genesis or perpetuation of the leukemic state. Ilistochemical,2,’ biochemical4 and fine structural studies5’t’ have defined a number of similarities between Auer rods and the primary dense particles of immature granulocytes, the azurophilic granules. The resemblance of the two types of cytoplasmic organelles has prompted the conclusion that Auer bodies are un...

Many modern scalable cloud networking architectures rely on host networking for implementing VM network policy e.g. tunneling for virtual networks, NAT for load balancing, stateful ACLs, QoS, and more. We present the Virtual Filtering Platform (VFP) a programmable virtual switch that powers Microsoft Azure, a large public cloud, and provides this policy. We define several major goals for a prog...

HE INTRODUCTION OF the carboxylic acid cation exchange Amberlite XE-96 (or IRC-50) Azure A resin’ as the medium for hydrogen ion exchange in place of the quininium exchange resin has simplified greatly the determination of gastric acidity without intubation (1). Solvent extraction and fluorimetry are no longer required. The amount of blue dye excreted in the urine is readily measured by visual ...

Chitinolytic activities were identified in the Protozoa Trichomonas vaginalis. Overall chitinase activity assessed using chitine-azure as substrate was 10.93 ± 1.21 nmoles/min/mg prot. End nonreducing chitobiosidase (exochitinase) and chitotriosidase (endochitinase) activities were shown using p-nitrophenyl-substrates and had specific activities of 4 .55 ± 0.53 and 0.47 ± 0.06 nmol/min/mg prot,...

Modern society is producing more information at a faster pace than ever before; data which is increasingly used to solve a variety of real world problems. But given the vast size of the data involved and the resource intensive nature of rapid large-data processing, the need for more advanced methodologies in this regard is growing. This phenomenon has given rise to the term ‘Big Data’ which ref...
