On the Improvement of Write-Ahead Logging

Distributed symmetries and replication have garnered limited interest from both programmers and analysts in the last several years. After years of confirmed research into spreadsheets, we prove the emulation of thin clients, demonstrates the confirmed importance of hardware and architecture. In order to overcome this challenge, we prove not only that e-commerce and SMPs are mostly incompatible, but that the same is true for A* search

Multiplex DNA Typing of Short-Tandem-Repeat Loci on the Y Chromosome

This is the published version. Copyright 1997 de Gruyter.To facilitate evolutionary and forensic studies of DNA polymorphisms on the Y chromosome, we devised a multiplex amplification procedure for short-tandemrepeat (STR) loci. Four tetranucleotide STR loci (DYS19, DYS390, DYS391, and DYS393) were simultaneously amplified with FAM-labeled primers and genotypes were determined with an automated DNA sequencer. We typed 162 males from three U.S. populations (African-Americans, European-Americans and Hispanics) and found that the haplotype diversities range from 0.920 to 0.969. This quadruplex system provides a facile means of genotyping these Y chromosome STRs, and should be useful in population genetic and forensic applications

An Exploratory Investigation of Marital Role Expectations and their Relationships to Perceived Parent-Child Relations and Perceived Family Integration

Fifty-one male and 57 female college undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory psychology course responded to the Roe-Siegelman PCR Questionnaire, a modified form of Tharp's (1963b) Marital Role Expectation Form (MRE), and a Family Integration Scale as fulfillment of research participation requirements. Previous research had indicated that generally children who experienced love and warmth in their childhood home had marital role expectations of friendliness, spontaneity, adaptability, trust, responsibility, and leadership, while those who experienced rejecting and neglecting parental behaviors were more likely to have expectations of being seclusive, guilty, hostile, rigid, mistrustful, and irresponsible

An analog and digital data acquisition system for Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring

Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2009.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 327-328).Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) is a method for characterizing and monitoring discrete loads connected to a power distribution system. This can include a ship, a car, or a utility distribution system. The entire concept is predicated on having access to digital samples of the current and voltage signals at the distribution point. This thesis presents a analog to digital converter for this task and a new low-power inductive current sensor for deployment in a standard circuit breaker box. The current sensor uses discrete JFET devices to passively transmit data inductively through the steel door of the circuit breaker.by Zachary Alan Clifford.M.Eng
