...where thieves break in and steal.” – Matthew 6:19 Actually, most people do store up their treasures on Earth, so much so in fact, that quite a few people are filling up their own treasure chests by renting out storage space. Self-Storage is an industry in which storage space is rented out to tenants, usually on a monthly basis. The storage space is usually in the form of a room, container or locker. Access to the space is usually secured by the tenant’s own lock and key. Clients include individuals, who usually store household goods, as well as businesses, which use the facilities for storing inventory or archives. As of 2009, there was approximately 2.3 billion square feet of rentable storage space in the US. The first modern self-storage facilities appeared in the US in the 1960s. The self-storage business was meant to provide individuals with space to deal with “life events”: moving, marriage, divorce etc. American workers have always been quite mobile, and the end of the 20th century, with its increasing divorce rates, and rush of transitions to 2nd or 3rd homes, saw a significant increase in the number of life events. However, by the end of the 1990s, demand was growing at a faster rate than explained by these factors. From 2000 to 2005, the number of self-storage facilities almost doubled, with 3000 new facilities built each year. Since the 1990s, demand was increasingly driven by the accumulation of goods, fuelled in part by increasing real disposable income. Individuals...

...Memory is how we can remember all the things that we experience in day-to-day life. Memory can be broken down into 3 basic processes; Encoding: the initial recording of information as a memory. Storage: when information is saved for future use. Retrieval: when the brain recalls information that has been saved. This process happens all within a matter of seconds. There are 3 different types of memory; sensory, short-term and long-term. Sensory memory is remembering how a place smelled or sounded. This form of memory typically lasts about 1 second. Short-term memory stores things that you only need to remember for a brief period of time. For example; remembering your grocery list when you go shopping. This is something you only remember for a few hours, however some short-term memories only last 15-20 seconds. The third type of memory is long-term memory, which is one of the most complicated parts of memory. Long-term memory can be broken down into 5 parts; general long-term, declarative, procedural, semantic and episodic....

...the target i.e. server side data storage center. In this case of Deduplication the client is not modified and is totally not knowing or aware of any Deduplication mechanism happening at the target side. Target-based Deduplication accomplished by the backup servers and hardware appliances at target which having ability to perform and handle those Deduplication activities. That means there is no overhead on the client or server being backed up. Thus the result of this kind of technology i.e. target based Deduplication drastically raise the storage utilization, but at the same time it fails to meet bandwidth saving perspectives. 3.2.2. Source based de-duplication In this scenario Deduplication performed on client side i.e. before it transmitted By processing the data before transmitting we can reduce the transmitted amount of data and therefore it reduces the network bandwidth and this less bandwidth is required for the backup software. Deduplication on source side uses the engine at client side which checks for the duplication against the Deduplication index which is located on the backup server. This is done with the help of the backup agent who is aware of the Deduplication which is located at the client side and who is responsible for backs up only unique data or blocks. And those unique blocks of data will be transmitted to the disk. The result of this kind of technology i.e. source based Deduplication improves bandwidth as well as the storage utilization. ...

...CLA IA HL Psychology Does Schema Theory effect memory encoding? Introduction: Memory can be defined as the process of reproducing and recalling information from something that has been learned before. (W. Matlin) There are two main types of memory storages, short term storage and long term memory storage. Short term memory is usually described as the recollection of information that happened recently, while long term memory is something that can retain and stay in your brain for long periods of times. (Zimmermann, 2014) Schemas are mental saving devices, they are plans for action and frameworks for thinking. Schemas originally are used and serve as a window through which we perceive the way the world is. They are hierarchies of knowledge and provide us with all sort of different information. They allow us to navigate ourselves in a complex world through this pre-existing rules and guides for action and thought. (Bryan). A study conducted by (Bartlett, 1932) “War of the Ghosts” was aimed to investigate the effects of schemas on human memory. In the method the participants were asked to read a story about an American tale where people were hunting seals in Canoes. The participants’ memory was tested and investigated by repeated reproduction and serial reproduction. In serial reproduction, the first participant would read the original story and then rewrite what they remember about it. The first participant’s reproduction would then be read by the second participant...

...Storing and Issuance At East Avenue Medical Center storing and issuance is done to make sure that the First-In First-Out policy has been followed in order to retain the quality and quantity of the food items and it has a standard operating procedure. The objectives of the standard operating procedure are to make sure that proper storage and issuance of food items are done to avoid losses and shortage. The following diagram shows the flow of storing and issuance at EAMC: The first step, storing and issuing of supplies where the storekeeper and MMS staff store should store all items properly. If items are perishable, store food items at the freezer/refrigerator and it non-perishable, store items in a dry storage room. To avoid losses or pilferages, all storage areas must be locked. Second step, record all supplies. The storekeeper should record all food items using the stock card for the control of supplies. The third step is issuance of supplies. The dietary supplies may be issued from NDS storeroom and MMS storeroom. The food to be issued is based on the menu of the day. The storekeeper shall issue food items upon presentation of properly signed RIS. RIS must contain the amount and list of all items needed and must have the signature of the requesting Admin ND. The storekeeper should prepare daily food consumption report and must do a month end inventory and then submit it to the ND who does the preparation of monthly report. Last step is monitoring.

...On Block Security of Regenerating Codes at the MBR Point for Distributed Storage Systems Son Hoang Dau∗ , Wentu Song† , Chau Yuen‡ Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore Emails: {∗ sonhoang dau, † wentu song, ‡ yuenchau}@sutd.edu.sg Abstract—A passive adversary can eavesdrop stored content or downloaded content of some storage nodes, in order to learn illegally about the file stored across a distributed storage system (DSS). Previous work in the literature focuses on code constructions that trade storage capacity for perfect security. In other words, by decreasing the amount of original data that it can store, the system can guarantee that the adversary, which eavesdrops up to a certain number of storage nodes, obtains no information (in Shannon’s sense) about the original data. In this work we introduce the concept of block security for DSS and investigate minimum bandwidth regenerating (MBR) codes that are block secure against adversaries of varied eavesdropping strengths. Such MBR codes guarantee that no information about any group of original data units up to a certain size is revealed, without sacrificing the storage capacity of the system. The size of such secure groups varies according to the number of nodes that the adversary can eavesdrop. We show that code constructions based on Cauchy matrices provide block security. The opposite conclusion is drawn for codes based on Vandermonde matrices. I. I NTRODUCTION A. Background In recent years, the demand...

...computer. It can be accessed by finding the wanted file on the hard drive and use the information for laboratory purposes. Advantages of manual storage is that it is a physical copy therefore it is better than computer based copy as it is more reliable. Secondly, manual data cannot get corrupted which means that the information is less likely to get damaged. Also it is less likely for the data to get lost as it will be put in archive and stored then when the file is needed laboratory worker can access it by going into the room where data is stored and then use the file for the purpose needed. Disadvantages of manual storage is that not everyone can understand the writing of the person that wrote about the laboratory information. Secondly, even though it is stored in the archive it can still get lost as it is wrote on paper and paper can get easily lost and damaged if not stored at the right place. To add on it can get damaged such as get ripped and therefore data can get lost which can affect the work of the laboratory. Advantages of computer based storage is that it is not going to take physical space as data is being put into the computer’s hard drive, therefore the space for computer storage is much smaller than for paper storage which requires physical space such as archive room to store laboratory data. Secondly, computer based storage...

...In today's day and age, cloud storage vendors such as Amazon, microsoft etc are providing cloud services to all companies in different sectors. Flexibility, cheaper, security and reliability are the main advantages for the companies to shift their operations and storage on cloud. This migration led to the tremendous increase of big data. Data is expected to grow __ by 2020. To increase the system capacity for the humongous data, cloud services are following scale-out architecture. Scale-out architectures add more CPU, memory and connectivity hence increasing the efficiency. This practice is very expensive and in the longer run will undermine the cost effectiveness of the future data centers. However, with data increasing tremendously the computing efficiency related to data is not increasing at the same pace. Today big data analytics professionals agree that with such rapid data growth the Moore’s law almost came to an end. Cloud data centers need an optimal computing, memory and storage architecture that can efficiently scale with the data growth and application computing demands. Most big companies offer storage products that are very expensive and old. The scale flux came up with a very unique product that can enhance the computing efficiency in the scale out architectures. ScaleFlux’s Converged Cloud Subsystem (CCS) is tightly unified software and flash-based hardware subsystem solution that easily and cost-effectively integrates into Big Data, scale-out servers.
