Flash-based solid-state drive (SSD) is now being widely deployed in cloud computing platforms due to the potential advantages of better performance and less energy consumption. However, current virtualization architecture lacks support for highperformance I/O virtualization over persistent storage, which results in sub-optimal I/O performance for guest virtual machines (VMs) on SSD. Further, cu…
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a family of potent, multifunctional growth factors belonging to transforming growth factor- (TGF-). They are highly conservative in structures. Over 20 members of BMPs with varying functions such as embryogenesis, skeletal formation,hematopoiesis and neurogenesis have been identified in human body. BMPs are unique growth factors that can induce the forma…

Abstract. The conversion of H2S into H2 and S (H2S → H2 + S) is beneficial from both environmental and energy standpoints. Here we report that H2S can be splitted stoichiometrically into hydrogen and sulfur on CdSbased photocatalysts under visible light irradiation using ethanolamine as a H2S solvent and reaction media at room temperature. Raman spectra showed that the produced sulfur exi…
