This article reviews the current understanding of the electrical properties of the grain
boundaries of acceptor-doped zirconia and ceria, however, with an emphasis on the grain …

The recent rise of byte-addressable non-volatile memory technologies is blurring the
dichotomy between memory and storage. In particular, they allow programmers to have …

We have found many programming problems for which neither procedural nor object-
oriented programming techniques are sufficient to clearly capture some of the important …

Energy harvesting enables novel devices and applications without batteries, but intermittent
operation under energy harvesting poses new challenges to memory consistency that …

To support and accelerate the development of simulation protocols in atomistic modelling,
we introduce an integrated development environment (IDE) for computational materials …

Most object oriented applications that involve persistent data interact with a relational
database. The most common interaction mechanism is a call level interface (CLI) such as …

Recent HCI research has produced analytic evaluation techniques which claim to predict
potential usability problems for an interactive system. Validation of these methods has …

Developers of data-intensive applications are increasingly using persistence frameworks
such as EJB, Hibernate and JDO to access relational data. These frameworks support both …

Byte-addressable, non-volatile memory (NVM) is emerging as a revolutionary memory
technology that provides persistency, near-DRAM performance, and scalable capacity. To …

To ensure low-latency memory allocation, mobile operating systems kill applications instead
of swapping memory to disk. This design choice shifts the burden of managing over-utilized …
