Building mega data center from heterogeneous containers
No full textData center containers are regarded as the basic units to build mega data centers. In practice, heterogeneity exists among data center containers, because of technical innovation and vendor diversity. In this paper, we propose uFix, a scalable, flexible and modularized network architecture to interconnect heterogeneous data center containers. The inter-container connection rule in uFix is designed in such a way that it can flexibly scale to a huge number of servers with stable server/switch hardware settings. uFix allows modularized and fault-tolerant routing by completely decoupling inter-container routing from intra-container routing. We implement a software-based uFix stack on the Linux platform. Simulation and experiment results show that uFix enjoys high network capacity, gracefully handles server/switch failures, and brings light-weight CPU overhead onto data center servers

No full textAssessment of Self-Archiving in Institutional Repositories: Depositorship and Full-Text Availability
No full textThis research evaluates the success of open access self-archiving in several well-known institutional repositories. Two assessment factors have been applied to examine the current practice of self-archiving: depositorship and the availability of full text. This research discovers that the rate of author self-archiving is low and that the majority of documents have been deposited by a librarian or administrative staff. Similarly, the rate of full-text availability is relatively low, except for Australian repositories. By identifying different practices of self-archiving, repository managers can create new strategies for the operation of their repositories and the development of archiving policies

Information Literacy and Librarian-Faculty Collaboration: A Model for Success:
No full textIn the age of information explosion and technological advancement, issues of information storage, organization, access, and evaluation have become necessarily important in our societies. Addressing issues of information literacy and designing how they can be best integrated in students' learning process are of critical importance. Library professionals in the United States, particularly in the academia, have realized the importance of information literacy and have attempted in various ways to address these issues. The ultimate goal is to make information literacy an integral part of the academic curriculum, thus helping students to succeed not only during their years in college but also for their lifelong career choices. This article will look at ways of how information literacy can best be incorporated into students' academic experience, and how this process can make students' learning meaningful and successful. Specifically, the author will examine the model of librarian-faculty collaboration in integrating information literacy into the curriculum, as demonstrated in the Ohio Five Colleges' Information Literacy Program.Publisher version of this article is available at: http://www.white-clouds.com/iclc/cliej/cl24.ht
Does the size of the femoral head correlate with the incidence of avascular necrosis of the proximal femoral epiphysis in children with developmental dysplasia of the hip treated by closed reduction?
No full textPurpose The purpose of this study was to identify if any correlation between size of the proximal femoral epiphysis and avascular necrosis (AVN) exists. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 111 patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip treated by closed reduction (124 hips). The diameter and height of both femoral head and ossific nucleus were assessed on preoperative MRI. Results The diameter and the height of the femoral head as well as of the ossific nucleus of the contralateral side were significantly greater than the dislocated side. AVN occurred in 21 (16.9%) out of 124 hips. The rate of AVN gradually decreased with age: 30.0% at six to 12 months, 18.2% at 12 to 18 months and 3.7% at 18 to 24 months. Spearman correlation analysis showed that age is negatively correlated with the incidence of AVN (r =-0.274; p = 0.002) and the diameter of the femoral head has a significantly negative association with the incidence of AVN (r =-0.287; p = 0.001). No significant association was observed between the incidence of AVN and height of the femoral head or size of the ossific nucleus. Hips with AVN were significantly smaller than hips without AVN. Conclusions The size of both the femoral head and the ossific nucleus increase with age although the dislocated femoral head is smaller compared with the contralateral side. The diameter of the femoral head and not the size of the ossific nucleus negatively correlate with the risk of AVN, with a bigger femoral head showing lower risk of AVN
Does the vascular development of the femoral head correlate with the incidence of avascular necrosis of the proximal femoral epiphysis in children with developmental dysplasia of the hip treated by closed reduction?
No full textPurpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the correlation between the vascular development of the femoral head and avascular necrosis (AVN) in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) treated by closed reduction (CR). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 78 patients with DDH treated by CR (83 hips). The vascular maturity, number of vessels and perfusion changes of the femoral head were assessed on perfusion MRI (pMRI) before and after CR. Results: The number of vessels (mean 4.2 sd 1.4) of the femoral head and the ratio (36.1%) of mature vessels (type III) on the dislocated side were significantly less than those at contralateral side (mean 6.0 sd 1.2; 82.2%) (p < 0.001). Of the included 83 hips, 39 hips (61.5%) showed decreased perfusion of the femoral head, including partial decreased (Class B, 47.0%) and global decreased (Class C, 14.5%), at the dislocated side, which was significantly more than those at contralateral side (0.0%) (p < 0.001). In total, 32 out of 83 hips (38.5%) developed AVN. The rate of AVN with Class A (18.8%) which perfusion of the femoral head was normal Conclusion: The vascular development and perfusion changes of the femoral head on the dislocated side are significantly worse than those at contralateral side. Immature vascularity of the femoral head before CR and poor perfusion of the femoral head after CR may be risk factors for AVN in patients with DDH
