Applying File Information to Block-Level Content Addressable Storage

Content addressable storage (CAS) is a promising technology for improving storage efficiency as well as access throughput.Currently,many CAS products are implemented on the block level,which results in loss of file information.Thus,some sophisticated optimizations cannot be achieved,such as accurate fileprefetching.This paper presents a file-aware block-level storage system combined with the CAS function.In contrast with some existing file-level CAS,this system is transparent to upper-level applications,including the operating system and the file system.These features are achieved by using smart-disk technologies to help the storage system to learn the file-system layout.A prototype was implemented on an open-source virtual machine (VM) with the guest operating system being Windows XP.Tests show that this combination significantly reduces the size of the VM image file and improves the storage performance by discarding unused blocks and using a simple file-level prefetching strategy.     

Land-atmosphere coupling amplifies hot extremes over China

Climate extremes, such as extreme hot temperatures and heat waves, can have dramatic societal, economic, and ecological consequences. China has experienced remarkable interannual and decadal changes in hot extremes during the last several decades. However, the underlying mechanisms responsible for changes in the hot extremes over China have not been clearly identified. In this study, we investigate the role of land-atmosphere coupling for hot days and heat waves during summer over China using two long-term ...

KNIT FABRIC SURFACE PROPERTY AND MOISTURE TRANSFER

This paper deals with the properties of the fabric such as surface compression energy, the thick,ness, surface hairness, compressional resilience and effect of these factors on the moisture transport.In the course of the present investigation, the possibility of expressing the relationship between thethickness and the pressure as a hyperbolic function is considered, and compressional resilience is al-so described by relative compression energy loss. The vapor resistance of fabric in terms of still air layer and mathematical model of vaportranspiration are elucidated and ten samples from various double knit fabrics made on the same ma-chine are tested in this study and a multivariate linear regression model is suggested. It is found thatthe thickness of fabric is the strongest factor in the mathematical model of vapor evaporation.     

Cu—Zn—Al合金热循环相变的电镜观察

利用电镜高温台,直接观察Cu-Zn-Al合金在热循环过程中电子衍衬及电子衍射像的动态变化。低温马氏体M18R呈板条状,内部有厚度为5～10nm的层错亚结构。在热循环中,衍衬像不发生明显改变,但观察到可逆的电子衍射图变化,分析表明这是可逆的DO_3M18R型相变。在母相向马氏体转变之前,还出现“预马氏体效应”特征的漫散射条纹和额外衍射斑点。
