    We report a one-step method of forming non-close-packed (NCP) pore arrays of micro- and sub-micropores using chloroform-based solutions of polystyrene acidified with hydrogen bromide for breath figure (BF) patterning. As BF patterning takes place, water vapor condenses onto the polystyrene solution, forming water droplets on the solution surface. Concurrently, preferential ion partitioning of hydrogen bromide leads to positively charged water droplets, which experience interdroplet electrostatic repulsion. Self-organization of charged water droplets because of surface flow and subsequent evaporation of the droplet templates result in ordered BF arrays with pore separation/diameter (L/D) ratios of up to 16.5. Evidence from surface potential scans show proof for preferential ion partitioning of HBr. Radial distribution functions and Voronoi polygon analysis of pore arrays show that they possess a high degree of conformational order. Past fabrication methods of NCP structures typically require multi-step processes. In contrast, we have established a new route for facile self-assembly of previously inaccessible patterns, which comprises of only a single operational step

    New system architecture to manage micro-RDF partitions on a large scale. New data placement strategies for locating relevant semantic data fragments. In this paper, we describe RpCl, a fully qualified and scalable distributed RDF data management system for that cloud. Unlike previous methods, RpCl administers a physiological analysis of case and plan information before the information is segmented. The machine maintains a sliding window while keeping track of the current good reputation of the workload, plus relevant statistics on the number of joints to be made, as well as the due margins. The machine combines pre-cutting by summarizing the RDF graph with a surface-based horizontal division from triads into a grid as an indexed index structure. POI is a dynamic index in RpCl that uses a lexical tree to analyze each URI or literal entered and assign it a unique key value. Sharing such data using classical techniques or segmenting a graph using traditional min reduction algorithms results in very inefficient distributions as well as a greater number of connections. Many RDF systems are based on hash segmentation, as well as distributed selections, projections, and joins. Grid-Vine was one of the first systems to manage this poor, large-scale decentralized administration. In this paper, we describe the RpCl architecture and its metadata structures along with the new algorithms we use to segment and distribute data. We produce an overview of RpCl which shows that our product is often two orders of magnitude faster than high-end systems at standard workloads

    Optimization of Regular Path Queries in Graph Databases

    Regular path queries offer a powerful navigational mechanism in graph databases. Recently, there has been renewed interest in such queries in the context of the Semantic Web. The extension of SPARQL in version 1.1 with property paths offers a type of regular path query for RDF graph databases. While eminently useful, such queries are difficult to optimize and evaluate efficiently, however. We design and implement a cost-based optimizer we call Waveguide for SPARQL queries with property paths. Waveguide builds a query planwhich we call a waveplan (WP)which guides the query evaluation. There are numerous choices in the con- struction of a plan, and a number of optimization methods, so the space of plans for a query can be quite large. Execution costs of plans for the same query can vary by orders of magnitude with the best plan often offering excellent performance. A WPs costs can be estimated, which opens the way to cost-based optimization. We demonstrate that Waveguide properly subsumes existing techniques and that the new plans it adds are relevant. We analyze the effective plan space which is enabled by Waveguide and design an efficient enumerator for it. We implement a pro- totype of a Waveguide cost-based optimizer on top of an open-source relational RDF store. Finally, we perform a comprehensive performance study of the state of the art for evaluation of SPARQL property paths and demonstrate the significant performance gains that Waveguide offers
