一种面向RAID阵列的SSD设计优化方法

随着大数据时代的到来,固态硬盘已经逐渐在大型数据中心得到应用。作为使用最广泛的RAID技术,RAID5也开始应用于固态硬盘阵列,以保证数据的可靠性。然而,RAID5中校验信息需要频繁地更新,尤其在随机访问中,频繁地更新校验信息将会对固态硬盘阵列的性能和寿命造成很大的影响,针对此问题,提出PA SSD(Parity Aware Solid State Disk)控制器设计,从RAID5控制器得到校验信息的逻辑地址,在SSD控制器中设置一个缓存Pcache,暂存更新后的校验信息,并在SSD中将数据和校验分开布局,设置专门的区域存放校验信息。通过实验仿真测试,提出的方法能有效地减少校验信息对SSD的写操作,并且减少了SSD的擦除次数,提升了SSD阵列的性能和寿命。     

The use of electrochemical noise methods (ENM) to study thick, high impedance coatings

Thick, high impedance organic coatings are those class of coatings used to provide corrosion protection to naval vessels, pipelines, gasoline storage tanks, and other large structures such as bridges and plant structures. These coatings, especially the newest generations now being used in practice, can provide exceptional protection and lifetime of performance such that properly and accurately assessing and differentiating among competing coatings is a very difficult task. The standard protocol of salt fog testing (ASTM B117), immersion testing, and outdoor exposure in a corrosive environment with subjective evaluation of a coating's performance durings and after testing, does not adequatcly rank and predict coating lifetimes for new coating systems, especially for the environmentally compliant coating systems such as powder coatings (especially the thick, fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) coatings used for pipelines), two component epoxy and urethane coatings and waterborne coatings. New, objective test methods are desperately needed by users and manufacturers of coatings. A relatively new electrochemical test procedure, electrochemical noise methods (ENM), as developed by Skerry and Eden, has been shown in our laboratory to be very successful in the ranking and prediction of relative coating performance. We have used the method successfully on naval ship coatings, several pipeline coatings and other related systems, and Skerry has used them successfully on industrial maintenance coatings. We have used these methods in conjunction with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, d.c. resistance measurements and cyclic salt fog testing of the Prohesion^TM type. In our studies of pipeline coatings, we needed to investigate thermal effects because of their extended range of use temperature. In these studies, we have discovered that electrochemical methods can be used for an in situ measurement of the T_g of coatings in electrolyte immersion. Further, the ‘plasticizing’ effect of aqueous electrolyte absorption as well as its relative irreversibility has been shown. For all coatings studied, ENM provided useful, objective, numerical data which rapidly ranks coatings and provides useful information on the relative lifetime prediction of coatings which may provide up to 30 years of service.     

Effects of decomposing rice straw on growth of and nitrogen fixation byRhizobium

Five phenolic compounds produced by decomposing rice straw and sterile extracts of decomposing rice straw in soil were very inhibitory to growth of three strains ofRhizobium. The effects were additive and in several instances synergistic. The phenolic compounds also reduced nodule numbers and hemoglobin content of the nodules in two bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) varieties. Extracts of decomposing rice straw in soil (same concentration as in the soil) significantly reduced N₂ fixation (acetylene reduction) in Bush Black Seeded beans. This may explain in part the great reduction in soybean yields in Taiwan following rice crops when the rice stubble is left in the field.     

Control of molecular weight distribution of isotactic polypropylene obtained by a MgCl2-supported TiCl4 catalyst

It is of great importance in propene polymerization to control molecular weight and molecular weight distribution as well as isotacticity. Propene polymerization was carried out with an isospecific MgCl₂/TiCl₄-Cp₂TiMe₂ catalyst in the presence of various kinds of external Lewis bases. It was found that the molecular weight distribution of the isotactic polymer could be controlled while retaining high activity, high isospecificity and high molecular weight only by changing the kind and/or amount of the Lewis bases. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.     

Semiquantitative analysis of thiophenic compounds in light cycle oil (LCO) using C NMR spectroscopy

S-methyltetrafluoroborate salts of the thiophenic compounds (CH₃-S⁺:BF₄⁻) present in LCO petroleum fractions were obtained and analyzed by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The methylation of the samples was carried out using 99.5% ¹³C enriched methyl iodine, to improve the sensitivity of the technique. The amount of the methylated derivatives was determined by the internal standard method; using dioxane as a reference, 37 sulphur compounds were detected. Among them, benzo[b]thiophene, dibenzo[b,d]thiophene, and several isomers of methyl, dimethyl and trimethyl[b]benzothiophenes were the most abundant. With this research, it was demonstrated that NMR spectroscopy can be used to analyze thiophenic compounds from petroleum medium fractions.     

(<Emphasis Type="Italic">Z,Z</Emphasis>)-6,9-Heneicosadien-11-One: Major Sex Pheromone Component Of Painted Apple Moth, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Teia anartoides</Emphasis>

(Z, Z)-6,9-Heneicosadien-11-one (Z6Z9-11-one-21Hy) was identified as the major sex pheromone component of the painted apple moth (PAM), Teia anartoides (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), on the basis of (1) comparative gas chromatographic-electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD) analyses, GC-mass spectrometry (MS), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-MS, and HPLC-UV/visible spectroscopy of pheromone gland extracts and authentic standards; (2) GC-EAD analyses of effluvia of calling females; and (3) wind tunnel and field trapping experiments with a synthetic standard. In field experiments in Australia, synthetic Z6Z9-11-one-21Hy as a single component attracted male moths. Wind tunnel experiments suggested that a 4-component blend consisting of Z6Z9-11-one-21Hy, (6Z,9R,10S)-cis-9,10-epoxy-heneicosene (Z6-9R10S-epo-21Hy), (E, E)-7,9-heneicosadien-6,11-dione (E7E9-6,11-dione-21Hy), and 6-hydroxy-(E, E)-7,9-heneicosadien-11-one (E7E9-6-ol-11-one-21Hy) (all present in pheromone gland extracts) might induce more males to orient toward, approach, and contact the source than did Z6Z9-11-one-21Hy as a single component. Additional experiments are needed to determine conclusively whether or not Z6-9R10S-epo-21Hy, E7E9-6,11-dione-21Hy, and E7E9-6-ol-11-one-21Hy might be minor sex pheromone components of PAM. Moreover, attractiveness of synthetic pheromone and virgin PAM females needs to be compared to determine whether synthetic pheromone could replace PAM females as trap baits in the program to monitor eradication of exotic PAM in New Zealand.     

Electrical Conduction Behavior of La1+xSr1−xGa3O7–δ Melilite-Type Ceramics

Ceramics of the melilite-type compound La_{1+ x} Sr_{1− x} Ga₃O_7−δ were prepared by conventional ceramic processing. Samples prepared represented the entire homogeneity region of the phase (i.e., x =−0.15 to 0.60). Electrochemical characterization under variable temperature and atmospheric conditions in the vicinity of air entailed four-point direct-current conductivity measurements and electromotive force measurements. La_{1+ x} Sr_{1− x} Ga₃O_7−δ samples exhibited a p -type behavior with generally increased conductivity with increased substitution of lanthanum for strontium, which reached a saturation value of ∼10⁻¹ S·cm⁻¹ at 950°C.

Endohedral metallofullerenes M@C82 (M=La, Y): synthesis and transport properties

Endohedral metallofullerenes M@C_2n (M=La, Y) were synthesized by the arc-discharge method using optimum electric arc parameters. It was also shown that an organic solvent (N,N-dimethylformamide) is successfully used in selective extraction of M@C_2n. We identified the resulting products by mass spectrometry, electron spectrophotometry, EPR and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The resulting N,N-dimethylformamide extracts of La@C_2n and Y@C_2n are shown to be free of empty fullerenes and appear as a mixture of endometallofullerenes M@C_2n whose main ingredient is M@C₈₂ (∼80 wt%). Transport properties of the extracts of La@C₈₂ and Y@C₈₂ were studied using pressed pellets. It was found that oxygen and heat treatment affect conductivity of endometallofullerenes. Heat treatment results in a three-order increase of conductivity from 10⁻⁵ upto 10⁻² Ohm⁻¹ cm⁻¹
