Efficient data traverse paths for both I/O and computation intensive workloads

Virtualization has accomplished standard status in big business IT industry. Regardless of its across the board reception, it is realized that virtualization likewise presents non-minor overhead when executing errands on a virtual machine (VM). Specifically, a consolidated impact from gadget virtualization overhead and CPU planning idleness can cause execution debasement when computation concentrated undertakings and I/O escalated errands are co-situated on a VM. Such impedance causes additional vitality utilization, too. Right now, present Hylics, a novel network ment that empowers proficient data  navigate ways for both I/O and computation escalated remaining tasks at hand. This is accomplished with the network ment of in-memory document framework and system administration at the hypervisor level. A few significant structure issues are pinpointed and tended to during our model execution, including proficient transitional data sharing, network administration offloading, and QoS-mindful memory use the executives. In light of our genuine sending on KVM, Hylics can fundamentally improve computation and I/O execution for hybrid workloads

Giving asia her educational due

ECONOMICS plays a prime pragmatic role when it comes to considering graduate studies in Asia. With the Eurozone crisis affecting not only the ability of many European governments to keep their economies afloat, but also the purchasing power of its individual citizens,it is no surprise that students who wish to pursue their studies in Europe or other high-income nations will find themselves in a financial quandary

Factors affecting job satisfaction, intention to stay and retention among health workers who provide emergency obstetric and neonatal care in Kalomo District, Zambia

Thesis (Dr.P.H.)--Boston UniversityBackground: Retention of health workers (HWs) in rural areas is a challenge in many sub-Saharan countries, including Zambia. Health systems, health facility and personal factors interact in retaining HWs. Facility-level working conditions (infrastructure, resources, and salaries) is a factor previously reported to influence retention . The Saving Mothers, Giving Life (SMGL) program aimed to improve maternal health in Kalomo District by enhancing working conditions. This study investigated if improved working conditions influenced HW job satisfaction and retention. Methods: Mixed quantitative and qualitative methods were used. Sixty-one percent of qualified HWs (46/75) from 28 rural health centers participated in a survey. Structured interviews were conducted with 60 percent (3/5) of the district health care administrators. Existing data from another study were used to capture health facility-level changes and baseline HW job satisfaction. Results: The SMGL program made significant improvements to health facility- level working conditions that contributed to improved maternal care. However, HWs' job satisfaction levels did not change before and after the SMGL program. The reported job satisfaction was fairly high (Mean=4.1, out of possible 5 and SO = 1.3) at baseline and continued to remain high (Mean =4.1, SO =1.0). The intention to stay score was also high at endline (Mean =4.0, SO =0.9). No association was found between HWs' job satisfaction and their intention to stay. Despite the high intention to stay score, HWs' perceived that improved housing, staffing levels, career advancement opportunities, recognition, pay and reduced workload are factors that would improve HW retention in rural areas. Conclusion: Current retention policies in Zambia focus on health facility factors. Personal and systems factors should also be addressed to improve HW retention. The Kalomo District Community Medical Office should (i) assess HW housing needs (ii) advocate for redefining all rural health centers as hard-to- reach areas to benefit from the existing retention program and (iii) improve supportive supervision and appreciation of HWs. The Ministry of Health and Ministry of Community Development, Mother and Child Health should (i) strengthen rural health centers by improving housing and availability of at least two qualified HWs and (ii) generate better evidence on factors that improve retention

Balancing Act: Water Quality Protection and Flood Resilience

Flood resilience efforts and laws designed to protect water quality may not always be compatible under current Virginia law. This paper will discuss two examples in particular. First, there can be tensions between the water quality goals under the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act and efforts to conduct flood resilience projects within 100 feet of the shoreline in Tidewater Virginia. Second, there are significant challenges faced by localities seeking to comply with the Virginia Stormwater Management Program, while also continuing to mitigate the impacts of flooding. These two examples stem from the larger question facing Virginia: as flooding increases, how does the state balance water quality protection with the need for flood resilience?

Design and Aesthetic in Debussy\u27s Music: \u3ci\u3eThe Premiere rapsodie\u3c/i\u3e for Clarinet and Piano

In Claude Debussy\u27s Premiere rapsodie for clarinet and piano, the composer is beyond the realm of music just for listening , but has become a designer, an architect of musical structure. During the early 1900s, Debussy began to develop a different Paris, France, was a cosmopolitan city in the early 1880s and on into the outlook for his compositions. La mer (1903-1905), a piece for orchestra, begins to exhibit Debussy\u27s new focus on and compositional purpose of design and structure during his late career. The Premiere rapsodie, written from December 1909 to January 1910, is an example of this late compositional style. This thesis will explore the historical context of France from 1880-1910, attempt to discover the influences for a design aspect from the composer\u27s personal life, and complete a detailed analysis of the Premiere rapsodie
