...deployment on a popular public cloud offering can be instrumented to gain insight into system characteristics such as capacity, scalability, elasticity and efficiency. Based on our insights, we create a CloudStore performance model, allowing to accurately predict such properties already at design time....

...project, a European-Union-funded initiative, moved along these lines, and it was one of the first cases of successful deployment of a mobile underwater sensor network integrated within a wide-area network, which included above water and underwater sensors. This contribution, together with a description...

The microstructure, interface thickness, element distribution and interfacial mechanical behavior of Ti-6Al-4V/Al couples prepared by an insert moulding method were investigated in depth in this paper. Moreover, Ti/Al bonding was also given as a comparison for understanding the interface bonding mechanism...

...an investigation on the effect of crossings and roundabouts on driving patterns and noise emissions was performed.A fully instrumented passenger car was driven through 7 different configurations of crossings and roundabouts. The crossings included both T and X-types. With one driver, 3 different driving...

...various IM features, and (2) whether and to whom they feel more connected as a result of IM usage. Younger participants IMed more frequently than older ones, and males and younger participants were the more frequent users of the more esoteric IM activities, particularly video sharing and video chatting.

Here we review sex-specific symptoms from bleeding disorders and how they can disable gender identities. We found that men's masculinity can be compromized by sickliness, economic dependency and reduced ability to participate in sports and other risk-taking activities. Women's femininity, on the other...

...paper discusses and evaluates the effects of an information security awareness programme. The programme emphasised employee participation, dialogue and collective reflection in groups. The intervention consisted of small-sized workshops aimed at improving information security awareness and behaviour. An...

...environment and their concentrations are expected to rise in a foreseeable future. Interactions, uptake, and excretion rates as well as effects of microplastics on biota remain largely unknown. Here we used two algae species to investigate 1) the uptake of 10 µm virgin polystyrene (PS) microbeads and 1-5 µm...
