Inside System Storage: Volume II picks up where Volume I ends, with eight more months of blog posts, including behind-the-scenes commentary about IBM's transformation in its storage business involving two key acquisitions: XIV and Diligent.

This blog-based book, or "blook", comprises the first twelve months of posts from Inside System Storage, a blog discussing computer storage concepts in general, and IBM System Storage(TM) products in particular. Tony Pearson, shares his thoughts and experiences about: -IT storage and storage networking concepts -IBM strategy, hardware, software and services -Disk systems, Tape systems, and storage networking -Storage and infrastructure management software -Second Life, Facebook, and other Web 2.0 platforms -IBM's many alliances, partners and competitors -How IT storage impacts society and industry

What's in Space? Where did it come from? And how do we know? From the beginning of time to future space missions, unfold our amazing universe and see inside its secrets.

An overview of current knowledge and future research directions in magnetospheric physics In the six decades since the term 'magnetosphere' was first introduced, much has been theorized and discovered about the magnetized space surrounding each of the bodies in our solar system. Each magnetosphere is unique yet behaves according to universal physical processes. Magnetospheres in the Solar System brings together contributions from experimentalists, theoreticians, and numerical modelers to present an overview of diverse magnetospheres, from the mini-magnetospheres of Mercury to the giant planetary magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn. Volume highlights include: Concise history of magnetospheres, basic principles, and equations Overview of the fundamental processes that govern magnetospheric physics Tools and techniques used to investigate magnetospheric processes Special focus on Earth’s magnetosphere and its dynamics Coverage of planetary magnetic fields and magnetospheres throughout the solar system Identification of future research directions in magnetospheric physics The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.

This volume is the second of the new two-volume Plant Biotechnology set. This volume covers many recent advances in the development of transgenic plants that have revolutionized our concepts of sustainable food production, cost-effective alternative energy strategies, microbial biofertilizers and biopesticides, and disease diagnostics through plant biotechnology. With the advancements in plant biotechnology, many of the customary approaches are out of date, and an understanding of new updated approaches is needed. This volume presents information related to recent methods of genetic transformation, gene silencing, development of transgenic crops, biosafety issues, microbial biotechnology, oxidative stress, and plant disease diagnostics and management. Key features: Provides an in-depth knowledge of various techniques of genetic transformation of plants, chloroplast, and fungus Describes advances in gene silencing in plants Discusses transgenic plants for various traits and their application in crop improvement Looks at genetically modified foods and biodiesel production Describes biotechnological approaches in horticultural and ornamental plants Explores the biosafety aspect associated with transgenic crops Considers the role of microbes in sustainable agriculture

Issues for 1901/07-1901/20 include corrected statistics for the period 1788 to 1900.

This second book in the three-volume Plant Secondary Metabolites covers the stimulation, extraction, and utilization of plant secondary metabolites, which are organic compounds that aid in the growth and development of plants but which are not required for the plant to survive by fighting off herbivores, pests, and pathogens. These plant secondary metabolites have been used since early times in various medicines and food products for beneficial health purposes and are still relevant and popular today.

IBM® PowerHA® SystemMirror® for i is the IBM high-availability (HA), disk-based clustering solution for the IBM i operating system. When PowerHA for i is combined with IBM i clustering technology, PowerHA for i delivers a complete HA and disaster-recovery (DR) solution for business applications that run in an IBM i environment. With PowerHA for i, you can support HA capabilities with either native disk storage, IBM DS8000® storage servers, or IBM Storwize® storage servers. This IBM Redbooks® publication helps you to install, tailor, and configure IBM PowerHA SystemMirror for i with the IBM System Storage® DS8000 series. This publication provides you with planning information to prepare to use the various PowerHA offerings for the IBM DS8000 family. It also provides implementation and management information. It provides guidance about troubleshooting these solutions and identifies the documentation and data that you need to capture before you call IBM Support. This book is part of a four-book volume set that gives you a complete understanding of PowerHA for i that uses native disk storage, IBM DS8000 storage servers, or IBM Storwize storage servers. The following IBM Redbooks publications are part of this PowerHA for i volume set: IBM PowerHA SystemMirror for i: Preparation, SG24-8400 IBM PowerHA SystemMirror for i: Using IBM Storwize, SG24-8402 IBM PowerHA SystemMirror for i: Using Geographic Mirroring, SG24-8401 Important: The information that is presented in this volume set is for technical consultants, technical support staff, IT architects, and IT specialists who are responsible for providing HA and support for IBM i solutions. If you are new to HA, review the information that is presented in the first book of this volume set, IBM PowerHA SystemMirror for i: Preparation (Volume 1 of 4), SG24-8400, to get a general understanding of clustering technology, independent auxiliary storage pools (IASPs), and the PowerHA architecture.
