Abstract:

In this work, the model of development of the P2P file exchange network organized by a torrent tracker is considered. The model is constructed on the basis of ordinary differential equations. The phase variables describing a status of a torrent tracker and the network organized by it (in first approximation is the number of the users of the tracker who are actively participate in information exchange, and the number of active torrents) are defined, the factors influencing the change of users number and the number of torrents are analyzed. On the basis of the analysis the system of differential equations, in first approximation describing evolution of the file exchange network organized by the torrent tracker — a hard dynamic model of evolution of the torrent tracker is written. Equilibrium points of hard model of evolution of the tracker are investigated, their possible quantity and type is described. All configurations of the general provision, possible in a hard model of evolution of the torrent tracker are described. The phase portrait of the hard model is represented. On the basis of the analysis of the hard model the system of differential equations describing evolution of a file exchange network with accounting of dependence of new users inflow intensity on a total quantity of potential audience of the torrent tracker, and also dependences of speed of torrents extinction on the number of users falling on one torrent — a soft dynamic model of evolution of a torrent tracker is written. Equilibrium points of a soft model of tracker evolution are investigated, their possible quantity and type is described. All configurations of the general provision, possible in a soft model of evolution of the torrent tracker are described. Phase portraits of each configuration are represented. The ratio of parameters necessary for the stability of the tracker a stable status is received. The influence of different administrative measures on a stock of the tracker stability in whole is analyzed. The need of support of torrents by administration at highly specialized torrent trackers with small potential audience is shown.

Abstract:

Slushflows have been investigated in various regions of the Earth for more than forty years. Most of the observed events occurred in mountainous drainage basins at high latitudes, so relatively few observations and measurements are presented in the scientific literature. This particularly holds for slush torrents which are major slushflow events reaching supercritical flow velocities. Thus, information on dynamical features of slush torrents are rather limited, and most results are based on qualitative observations. On June 3,1995, during a field campaign in the Kärkevagge, a drainage basin in Swedish Lapland, a slush torrent could be observed and documented by a time series of photographs and by video recordings. Quantitative results from a photogrammetric analysis of the photographs show that the first wave front of that slush torrent reached peak velocities of more than 40 ms−1. A second wave front was able to reach even higher velocities due to the fact that the first wave had almost completely removed all snow from the transport path. Consequently, the viscosity of the flow was significantly reduced. To the author's best knowledge, these results are the first quantitative measurements of a slush torrent during its movement.

Abstract:

O presente trabalho busca discorrer sobre as circulações de bens a partir do download de torrents sob uma perspectiva da troca pela dádiva. Inicialmente são apresentadas algumas noções de dádiva principalmente a partir das discussões do trabalho de Mauss (2003) em interlocução com outros autores que trabalharam o conceito mais recentemente. Em um segundo momento são apresentadas possibilidades de perceber a dádiva na internet e o funcionamento do torrent, para, em seguida, realizar a discussão da relação entre esse modo de compartilhamento online e a noção de dádiva, baseada numa revisão bibliográfica de pesquisas etnográficas sobre o compartilhamento peer-to-peer. É possível identificar a tripla obrigação: dar, receber e retribuir nos compartilhamentos de informação e conteúdo através do torrent por categorias que se assemelham às categorias tradicionais, mas também é necessário reconfigurar o contexto para que dialogue com o cenário contemporâneo que inclui os meios digitais e suas especificidades de partilha.

Abstract:

The study conducted in arid areas of Dera Ghazi Khan occasionally affected by hill torrents (Suri-Lund, Vidore, Sakhi-Sarwar, Mithawan) coming from Koh-e-Suleman range. The study found that hill torrent water is used for agriculture, domestic and livestock. The management of this water significantly affects on income, crop yield, soil fertility, health conditions and living standard of farmers. The local cost effective methods to store this water include wah, dubba and bundh but most of water is wasted as they are insufficient. The water distribution mechanism fosters cooperation and helps to form new relations with co-farmers. The study suggested that government and NGOs should help people to construct concrete diversions, bundhs, ponds and dams to manage hill torrent water.

Abstract:

In order to reduce the ecological damage and economic loss caused by mountain torrent disasters in the flooded basin, it’s very important to realize the self-repair of the ecosystem in a short time. Based on the analysis of the causes of mountain torrents, this paper summarizes three main parts of ecological restoration in the river basin, including rainwater storage, Sedimentation and wetland conservation. Taking a research base in Wenling, Zhejiang Province as an example, this paper also discusses the design methods of the landscape inside mountain torrent basins based on ecological restoration from these parts above. Finally, these methods were obtained and applied in design practice, providing more solutions and theoretical references for the ecological restoration design in the future.

Abstract:

Abstract. Debris flows have been recognized to be linked to the amounts of material temporarily stored in torrent channels. Hence, sediment supply and storage changes from low-order channels of the Manival catchment, a small tributary valley with an active torrent system located exclusively in sedimentary rocks of the Chartreuse Massif (French Alps), were surveyed periodically for 16 months using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) to study the coupling between sediment dynamics and torrent responses in terms of debris flow events, which occurred twice during the monitoring period. Sediment transfer in the main torrent was monitored with cross-section surveys. Sediment budgets were generated seasonally using sequential TLS data differencing and morphological extrapolations. Debris production depends strongly on rockfall occurring during the winter–early spring season, following a power law distribution for volumes of rockfall events above 0.1 m3, while hillslope sediment reworking dominates debris recharge in spring and autumn, which shows effective hillslope–channel coupling. The occurrence of both debris flow events that occurred during the monitoring was linked to recharge from previous debris pulses coming from the hillside and from bedload transfer. Headwater debris sources display an ambiguous behaviour in sediment transfer: low geomorphic activity occurred in the production zone, despite rainstorms inducing debris flows in the torrent; still, a general reactivation of sediment transport in headwater channels was observed in autumn without new debris supply, suggesting that the stored debris was not exhausted. The seasonal cycle of sediment yield seems to depend not only on debris supply and runoff (flow capacity) but also on geomorphic conditions that destabilize remnant debris stocks. This study shows that monitoring the changes within a torrent's in-channel storage and its debris supply can improve knowledge on recharge thresholds leading to debris flow.

Abstract:

Abstract. The main goals of this study were to identify the alpine torrent catchments that are sensitive to climatic changes and to assess the robustness of the methods for the elaboration of flood and debris flow hazard zone maps to specific effects of climate changes. In this study, a procedure for the identification and localization of torrent catchments in which the climate scenarios will modify the hazard situation was developed. In two case studies, the impacts of a potential increase of precipitation intensities to the delimited hazard zones were studied. The identification and localization of the torrent and river catchments, where unfavourable changes in the hazard situation occur, could eliminate speculative and unnecessary measures against the impacts of climate changes like a general enlargement of hazard zones or a general over dimensioning of protection structures for the whole territory. The results showed a high spatial variability of the sensitivity of catchments to climate changes. In sensitive catchments, the sediment management in alpine torrents will meet future challenges due to a higher rate for sediment removal from retention basins. The case studies showed a remarkable increase of the areas affected by floods and debris flow when considering possible future precipitation intensities in hazard mapping. But, the calculated increase in extent of future hazard zones lay within the uncertainty of the methods used today for the delimitation of the hazard zones. Thus, the consideration of the uncertainties laying in the methods for the elaboration of hazard zone maps in the torrent and river catchments sensitive to climate changes would provide a useful instrument for the consideration of potential future climate conditions. The study demonstrated that weak points in protection structures in future will become more important in risk management activities.

Abstract:

Objective: This is an investigative study to evaluate a new companion diagnostic platform, allele specific multiplex sequencing(ASMS). Detection of Braf p.V600E from solid tumors is used as the test model with the following objectives: 1) whether ASMScan detect Braf p.V600E/K mutations from a variety of solid tumors, 2) whether ASMS can detect all Braf p.V600E from samplesthat were positive for Braf V600E by SNaPshot or Ion Torrent, and 3) whether ASMS can detect Braf p.V600E among samplesthat were reported negative by SNaPshot or Ion Torrent.Methods: ASMS is a novel modification (US Patent 6197510) of traditional Sanger sequencing, with Lower Limit of Detection(LLOD) of 20 GE (Genome Equivalent) and 0.001% sensitivity. We compared ASMS to clinical samples previously tested eitherby SNaPshot or Ion Torrent methods.Results: We analyzed 83 DNA extracts from FFPE samples (41 tested by SNaPshot and 42 tested by Ion Torrent). There was atotal of thirty-seven samples positive for Braf p.V600E (16 by Ion Torrent; 21 by SNaPshot), and all of these samples testedpositive by ASMS for Braf p.V600E. Out of the 46 negatives for Braf p.V600E (20 by SNaPshot; 26 by Ion Torrent samples),ASMS detected Braf p.V600E positive results in 10 of the SNaPshot and in 18 of the Ion Torrent negative samples. ASMS coulddetect both Braf p.V600E and the wild-type Braf p.V600 simultaneously with 40pg of FFPE DNA extracts.Conclusions: ASMS assay detected all Braf p.V600E positives from different types of solid tumors that previously tested positiveby SNaPshot or Ion Torrent. Further, ASMS was able to detect Braf p.V600E among samples that were reported negative bySNaPshot or Ion Torrent.

Abstract:

Abstract. On 7 August 2010, catastrophic debris flows were triggered by a rainstorm in the catchments of the Sanyanyu and Luojiayu torrents, Zhouqu County, Gansu Province northwestern China. These two debris flows originated shortly after a rainstorm with an intensity of 77.3 mm h−1 and transported a total volume of about 2.2 million m3, which was deposited on an existing debris fan and into a river. This catastrophic event killed 1765 people living on this densely urbanised fan. The poorly sorted sediment contains boulders up to 3–4 m in diameter. In this study, the geomorphological features of both debris flow catchment areas are analyzed based on the interpretation of high-resolution remote sensing imagery combined with field investigation. The characteristics of the triggering rainfall and the initiation of the debris flow occurrence are discussed. Using empirical equations, the peak velocities and discharges of the debris flows were estimated to be around 9.7 m s−1 and 1358 m3 s−1 for the Sanyanyu torrent and 11 m s−1 and 572 m3 s−1 for the Luojiayu torrent. The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of the conditions leading to catastrophic debris flow events.

Abstract:

Abstract. Sediment – water flows occurring in mountain torrents may show a variety of regimes, ranging from water flows with transport of individual particles to massive transport of debris, as it occurs in case of debris flows. Sometimes it is possible, by means of accurate field investigations, to identify the kind of processes that took place in a torrent after the occurrence of an event. However this procedure cannot give indications regarding the development of the process in time. In fact, because of the frequent presence of different surges within the same event, the rheological characteristics of an event can be detected only when some recorded hydrographs or videos are available. For the same reason, since the rheological behaviour of the flow changes according to the solid concentration, the analysis of the materials deposited on the debris fan cannot directly give any information on the particular types of flow that took place: a possible alternation in time of different water sediment surges with different concentrations may have occurred, during the same event. The installation of ultrasonic gauges or videocameras along the torrent might give more information on this issue. To this regard, the analysis of a flow event which occurred in 2002 in the Moscardo torrent watershed, instrumented for debris flow monitoring, has been undertaken, studying the hydrographs recorded at two different ultrasonic gauges placed at a known distance along the torrent. An empirical flow resistance law has been applied analysing the values assumed by its parameters after calibration. The application of this law actually spans from debris flow and immature debris flow to bed load transport. Only field observations and surveys, together with ultrasonic data, may allow to clearly discriminate which type of flow really occurred. The analysis confirms that different water sediment surges alternated in time while the mathematical simulation of the flow compared with field observations revealed that the dynamic behaviour of the flow was different from that of previous debris flow events and might reflect, among the different types of possible rheological behaviors, a dilatant-type behavior typical of stony debris flows.

Abstract:

Abstract. Debris flows represent a major threat to infrastructure in many regions of the Alps. Since systematic acquisition of data on debris-flow events in Switzerland only started after the events of 1987, there is a lack of historical knowledge on earlier debris-flow events for most torrents. It is therefore the aim of this study to reconstruct the debris-flow activity for the Reuse de Saleinaz and the La Fouly torrents in Val Ferret (Valais, Switzerland). In total, 556 increment cores from 278 heavily affected Larix decidua Mill., Picea abies (L.) Karst. and Pinus sylvestris L. trees were sampled. Trees on the cone of Reuse de Saleinaz show an average age of 123 years at sampling height, with the oldest tree aged 325 years. Two periods of intense colonization (the 1850s–1880s and the 1930s–1950s) are observed, probably following high-magnitude events that would have eliminated the former forest stand. Trees on the cone of Torrent de la Fouly indicate an average age of 119 years. As a whole, tree-ring analyses allowed assessment of 333 growth disturbances belonging to 69 debris-flow events. While the frequency for the Reuse de Saleinaz study site comprises 39 events between AD 1743 and 2003, 30 events could be reconstructed at the Torrent de la Fouly for the period 1862–2003. Even though the two study sites evince considerably different characteristics in geology, debris-flow material and catchment morphology, they apparently produce debris flows at similar recurrence intervals. We suppose that, in the study region, the triggering and occurrence of events is transport-limited rather than weathering-limited.

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the suitability of the Torrent method of determining air permeability of concrete for an approximate assessment of damage to the surface layer of concrete caused by microcracks. The combined measurement of deformation and air permeability by means of Torrent method and of the width of microcracks on the tested concrete cubes during loading in the splitting tensile test contributed to the clarification of certain facts. The use of Torrent method seems to be more suitable in reinforced concretes where it is possible to anticipate a slower opening of cracks during the increase of load. In spite of that, the testing of these concretes is limited by the maximum dimensions of cracks, i.e. 0.075–0.1 mm in the width and 60 mm in the length. Exceeding these limit dimensions causes a massive decrease in vacuum and subsequent separation of the adhering bell of the Torrent tester.

Resum: El Ball de Torrent és una moixiganga dramàtica popular escenificada a la ciutat de València i altres indrets del País Valencià des de finals del segle XVII fins a principis del segle XX. Estava organitzada per agrupacions gremials, juntes d’hospitals o clavaris de festes i protagonitzada per personatges agrupats en comparses que representaven una paròdia sobre les relacions entre les estructures de poder i les classes populars. Tot i la variabilitat segons el moment històric, es conforma com una mescla de quadres amb danses, música i jocs teatrals. El ball interacciona de diverses formes amb algunes festes valencianes i és, probablement, una de les mostres de teatre de carrer més nostrades i menys estudiades de la València Moderna. En aquest article es realitza una revisió bibliogràfica crítica i una primera anàlisi historiogràfica.Paraules clau: Ball de Torrent, Dansa i música tradicional, Teatre, Moixiganga, Festa valencianaAbstract: Ball de Torrent (Dance of Torrent) is a popular dramatic masquerade staged in Valencia since the late seventeenth century to the early twentieth. It was organized by guilds, hospital managements or festival organizers. The actors were grouped in associations representing a parody on the relationships between power structures and popular classes. Despite the variability depending on the historical period, it consisted of a mixture of episodes or scenes with dance, music and theatre games. Any Festivals in Valencia are connected with the Ball de Torrent. It’s probably one of the most interesting samples of street theatre and studied under of the Modern Valencia.

Abstract:

e22025 Background: The efficacy of next-generation sequencing (NGS) for the prediction of clinical benefits from EGFR TKIs in non small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) has yet to be fully established. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the predictive effect of EGFR-evaluating methodologies on the use of EGFR TKIs in patients with NSCLC. Methods: cTumor samples were obtained from patients with NSCLC at 5 institutions in Korea. Study cohort A consisted of surgically resected or biopsy NSCLC samples enriched with adenocarcinoma histology. Study cohort B consisted of patients who received EGFR TKI during the treatment period. EGFR status was tested with direct sequencing, Peptide nucleic acid-locked nucleic acid PCR clamp (PNA-LNA PCR Clamp) method, and Personal genome machine (PGM) sequencing using the Ion AmpliSeq Cancer Panel on the Ion Torrent. Results: EGFR mutations in cohort A were identified in 16 (28.1%), 27 (47.4%), and 29 (50.9%) of 57 patients by direct sequencing, PNA-LNA clamping, and the Ion Torrent PGM, respectively. In 2 cases of EGFR mutant detected by Ion Torrento PGM in contrast to EGFR wild type by PNA-LNA clamping, EGFR mutation was found on novel sequence other than classical EGFR mutations. In total, 33 out of 37 patients in cohort B whose frozen NSCLC tissue was available were examined. Patients with EGFR mutations tested by PNA-LNA clamping did not show a significantly higher response rate than did patients with the wild-type EGFR (P=0.607). Mutational status detected by 2 methods did not significantly predict overall survival and progression free survival. However, curves showed a greater differentiation when the mutation was detected by PNA-LNA clamp as compared to mutations detected by direct sequencing. Conclusions: Though this study was conducted in a small number of cases, the results suggest that both PNA-LNA clamping and the Ion Torrent PGM are highly sensitive procedures relative to direct sequencing, and are useful screening tools for the detection of EGFR mutations in clinical practice.

Abstract:

In this workshop, Professors Nick Bontrager and Taylor Hokanson introduce the tools and services required to fabricate printed circuit boards, or PCBs. The process is more accessible than ever before, and is cheap enough to allow individuals to obtain functional prototypes, in small quantities, that are indistinguishable from similar PCBs that might be produced in the hundreds of thousands for industry or commercial applications. Using an “unpopulated” demonstration board designed by the workshop co-chairs, participants walk through all the steps needed to assemble and solder surface-mount components, finishing the event with a battery-operated, wearable, LED light display.

Abstract:

The hadith compilations are filled with the Prophet’s prophecies and predictionsabout the future, be it the future state of Muslims, the outcomes of battles,the signs of the end times, and so on. If Muslims are uncertain as to how andwhen some of these may come to pass, there is little doubt that, somehow,someway, they will certainly do so. Muslims’ confidence in the latter scenariostems from their unflinching belief in Muhammad as God’s messenger.The Sunan Abī Dāwūd, one of six authentic Sunni hadith collections, containsa hadith in which the Prophet predicts that one day Muslims, as a group,will be so weak and insignificant that other nations (umam) will compete tosnatch them, just like feeding animals (akalah) challenge one another overthir feed (qaṣ‘ah; lit.: large bowl). He insists that this will not be due to theMuslims’ smaller numbers, because their numbers will be huge; rather, theywill be as worthless as “the scum of a torrent” (ghuthā’ al-sayl), which is unworthyof being kept for any future use and thus deserves to be removed anddiscarded. At this time, the hadith continues, non-Muslims will have not oneiota of fear and apprehension (mahāba) of Muslims, but the latter will havealready resigned themselves to their own feebleness (wahn) and thus begripped with fear of non-Muslims ...

Abstract:

Abstract. The erosion of and depositions on channel bed surfaces are instrumental to understanding debris flow processes. We present an overview of existing field methods and highlight their respective advantages and disadvantages. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), airborne laser scanning (ALS), erosion sensors, cross sections (CS) and geomorphological mapping are compared. Additionally, two of these approaches (i.e. TLS and CS) are tested and applied in the channel reaches of the torrent catchments. The results of the comparison indicate that the methods are associated with variable temporal and spatial resolution as well as data quality and invested effort. TLS data were able to quantify small-scale variations of erosion and deposition volumes. While the same changes could be detected with CS and geomorphological mapping, it was only possible with lower precision and coarser spatial resolution. The study presents a range of potential methods that can be applied accordingly to address the objectives and to support the analyses of specific applications. The availability of erosion data, acquired mainly by TLS and ALS, in combination with debris-flow monitoring data, provides promising sources of information to further support torrent risk management.

Abstract:

Many mountainous regions and their watersheds lack the mathematical description of their hydraulic geometry such as the High Tatras region in Slovakia. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to determine the geometric and hydraulic characteristics of natural torrent beds and to propose a regional equations of mountain watersheds for the High Tatras region. In the paper is also proposed a new equation to determine the relationships between the watershed area and the geometric characteristics of flow profiles. Derived regional equations can help in nature-friendly and ecological shaping and dimensioning of channel cross sections in torrent control designing. The research was conducted in 26 natural torrents and their watersheds on the reference sections and profiles under the sediment source zones. Two different regression equations to determine the regional relationships (hitherto used without asymptote and newly proposed with asymptote) were compared. The analyses showed a strong correlation relationship between watershed area Aw (km2) and bankfull geometric characteristics of natural cross-sections: width of the channel inside the banks Bbf (m), mean channel depth Hbf (m), channel cross-section area Abf (m2) and hydraulic characteristic – bankfull discharge Qbf (m3.s-1). These relations were tested by t-test and Shapiro-Wilk test. The determination coefficient (R12) for the relationships without asymptote ranged between R12 = 0.919 and R12 = 0.972; p1 – values from Shapiro-Wilk test ranged between p1 = 0.0359 and p1 = 0.8027. The determination coefficient (R22) for the relationships with asymptote ranged between R22 = 0.952 and R22 = 0.974; p2 – values from Shapiro-Wilk test ranged between p2 = 0.0221 and p2 = 0.8617. At the same time, we tested and confirned the hypothesis that the correlation coefficients R1 from equation without the asymptote are only randomly different from the correlation coefficients R2 from equation with the asymptote and the difference between these coefficients is also random. Derived regional equations make it possible to the gradual creation of hydrologic landscape regions in the SR. They can be also used as a valuable input to the ecological cross sections designing in torrent control and revitalization for the regions with a similar natural conditions.

Abstract:

Abstract. A risk reduction program was developed after debris-flow disaster analysis is conducted using mitigation structures, evacuation measures and community restrained expansion strategy. The risk assessment method delineates hazard zones and analyzes vulnerability and the resilient capacity of an affected area, allowing the prediction of losses of properties and lives, and the corresponding risk. It can also be used to evaluate performance of a risk reduction program. The proposed method was applied to the Songhe community as a case study to assess debris-flow risk and performance of reduction programs consisting of mitigation structures, evacuation measures and a restrained expansion strategy. Total annual risk decreased to $0.01 million from $0.72 million for the No. 1 Torrent and to $0.36 million from $1.22 million for the No. 2 Torrent after mitigation structures were installed, and evacuation measures were implemented based on restrained expansion. Although mitigation structures are costly, they can reduce the size of hazard zones. Delimitating the Designated Soil and Water Conservation Area restrains community expansion and decreases possible losses. Although evacuation measures cannot reduce the size of hazard zones, they effectively increase the resilient capacity of residents. The benefit-cost ratio for mitigation structures exceeds 1.0 for both torrents with an average of 3.87; the benefit-cost ratio for evacuation measures is markedly greater than 1.0. Combining mitigation structures and evacuation measures increases the total benefit with a benefit-cost ratio of 4.38. Analytical results showed that the risk reduction program is cost-effective.

Abstract:

Abstract. Heavy precipitation can mobilize tens to hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of sediment in steep Alpine torrents in a short time. The resulting debris flows (mixtures of water, sediment and boulders) move downstream with velocities of several meters per second and have a high destruction potential. Warning protocols for affected communities rely on raising awareness about the debris-flow threat, precipitation monitoring and rapid detection methods. The latter, in particular, is a challenge because debris-flow-prone torrents have their catchments in steep and inaccessible terrain, where instrumentation is difficult to install and maintain. Here we test amplitude source location (ASL) as a processing scheme for seismic network data for early warning purposes. We use debris-flow and noise seismograms from the Illgraben catchment, Switzerland, a torrent system which produces several debris-flow events per year. Automatic in situ detection is currently based on geophones mounted on concrete check dams and radar stage sensors suspended above the channel. The ASL approach has the advantage that it uses seismometers, which can be installed at more accessible locations where a stable connection to mobile phone networks is available for data communication. Our ASL processing uses time-averaged ground vibration amplitudes to estimate the location of the debris-flow front. Applied to continuous data streams, inversion of the seismic amplitude decay throughout the network is robust and efficient, requires no manual identification of seismic phase arrivals and eliminates the need for a local seismic velocity model. We apply the ASL technique to a small debris-flow event on 19 July 2011, which was captured with a temporary seismic monitoring network. The processing rapidly detects the debris-flow event half an hour before arrival at the outlet of the torrent and several minutes before detection by the in situ alarm system. An analysis of continuous seismic records furthermore indicates that detectability of Illgraben debris flows of this size is unaffected by changing environmental and anthropogenic seismic noise and that false detections can be greatly reduced with simple processing steps.

Abstract:

<p>Creation of multi-copies accelerates data transmission and reduces network traffic, but it causes overhead storage and additional network traffic. A variety of parallel transmission algorithms based on GridFTP and multi-copy can be used to accelerate data transmission further, but they can not adapt to a wide range of network, and they can not be used to solve the problems of storage space and network traffic waste. GridTorrent combined with BitTorrent and GridFTP has compatibility with grid and has flexible scalability, but the speed is very slow when there are few peers, to solve this problem multicopy is needed also. To achieve multiple optimization objectives of storage space saving, suitable for two kinds of application modes(i.e. parallel transfer based on GridFTP and BitTorrent), adaptability for wide range of network and higher performance when there are fewer peers, based on the idea of GridTorrent, a distributed storage model, parallel transfer algorithm and virtual peer strategy are proposed. In experiments the performance is compared among the verification system VPG-Torrent and original parallel transfer algorithm<br />(DCDA) only based on GridfTP & multi-copy and GridTorrent. When the same amount of data is deployed VPG-Torrent has better performance than DCDA, and when there are fewer peers VPG-Torrent also exceed GridTorrent, which prove the effectiveness of VPG-Torrent.</p>

Abstract:

ABSTRACTHigh-throughput sequencing of the taxonomically informative 16S rRNA gene provides a powerful approach for exploring microbial diversity. Here we compare the performances of two common “benchtop” sequencing platforms, Illumina MiSeq and Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine (PGM), for bacterial community profiling by 16S rRNA (V1-V2) amplicon sequencing. We benchmarked performance by using a 20-organism mock bacterial community and a collection of primary human specimens. We observed comparatively higher error rates with the Ion Torrent platform and report a pattern of premature sequence truncation specific to semiconductor sequencing. Read truncation was dependent on both the directionality of sequencing and the target species, resulting in organism-specific biases in community profiles. We found that these sequencing artifacts could be minimized by using bidirectional amplicon sequencing and an optimized flow order on the Ion Torrent platform. Results of bacterial community profiling performed on the mock community and a collection of 18 human-derived microbiological specimens were generally in good agreement for both platforms; however, in some cases, results differed significantly. Disparities could be attributed to the failure to generate full-length reads for particular organisms on the Ion Torrent platform, organism-dependent differences in sequence error rates affecting classification of certain species, or some combination of these factors. This study demonstrates the potential for differential bias in bacterial community profiles resulting from the choice of sequencing platform alone.

Abstract:

With the many changes in mobile phone use, it is now common for users to connect to the Internet and share social and multimedia data, and peer-to-peer technology remains one of the most efficient solutions to content sharing. We analysed the lifecycle of content shared using the BitTorrent network, focusing on torrents retrieved by mobile phone clients using our MobTorrent application. MobTorrent, a complete Bit-Torrent client for feature phones, enables anonymous usage statistics to be collected. Based on statistics collected over the last three years, we analyze how mobile BitTorrent clients are being used. We discuss the success of individual sessions by additionally measuring peer connection download and success ratio statistics. This research can be considered as a pioneer work in the field of mobile content sharing solutions.

Introduction To evaluate a next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflow in the screening and diagnosis of thalassemia. Methods In this prospective study, blood samples were obtained from people undergoing genetic screening for thalassemia at our centre in Guangzhou, China. Genomic DNA was polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified and sequenced using the Ion Torrent system and results compared with traditional genetic analyses. Results Of the 359 subjects, 148 (41%) were confirmed to have thalassemia. Variant detection identified 35 different types including the most common. Identification of the mutational sites by NGS were consistent with those identified by Sanger sequencing and Gap-PCR. The sensitivity and specificities of the Ion Torrent NGS were 100%. In a separate test of 16 samples, results were consistent when repeated ten times. Conclusion Our NGS workflow based on the Ion Torrent sequencer was successful in the detection of large deletions and non-deletional defects in thalassemia with high accuracy and repeatability.

Abstract. This paper presents debris-flow data recorded in the Moscardo Torrent (eastern Italian Alps) between 1990 and 2019. In this time interval, 30 debris flows were observed: 26 of them were monitored by sensors installed on the channel, while four were only documented through post-event observations. Monitored data consist of debris-flow hydrographs, measured utilizing ultrasonic sensors, and rainfall. Debris flows in the Moscardo Torrent occur from early June to the end of September, with higher frequency in the first part of summer. The paper presents data on triggering rainfall, flow velocity, peak discharge, and volume for the monitored hydrographs. Simplified triangular hydrographs and dimensionless hydrographs were derived to show the basic features of the debris flows in the Moscardo Torrent (time to peak, surge duration, flow depth) and permitting comparison with other instrumented catchments. The dataset is made available to the public with the following DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.919707.
