The D Bit FDADAP board is a small adapter which adapts 8" floppy disk drives (Shugart SA800 style bus) to work with the PC 3.5"/5.25" floppy disk cable pinout.

t We describe lightgrep, our implementation of a multipattern regular
expression search tool, which can efficiently search huge data streams.
lightgrep addresses several shortcomings of existing tools used in digital
forensics by taking advantage of some recent (and some not-so-recent)
developments in automata theory. We state the characteristics of regular
expression searching in forensics, review current approaches, and then
discuss lightgrep’s implementation in detail, based on direct simulation
of nondeterministic finite automata, including a number of practical
optimizations related to searching with large pattern sets.

The MITRE Identification Scrubber Toolkit (MIST) is a suite of tools for identifying and redacting personally identifiable information (PII) in free-text medical records. MIST helps you replace these PII either with obscuring fillers, such as [NAME], or with artificial, synthesized, but realistic English fillers.

Curling is an important part of the Canadian cultural landscape, and nowhere is this more evident than in Manitoba. However, the documentation of curling records within archival repositories in the province has occurred without a strategic plan. This thesis first explores the modern archival appraisal theories and then proposes an appraisal model that utilizes a combination of the documentation strategy and macroappraisal in order to develop a strategy for the documentation of curling in Manitoba. Using this model, this thesis first examines the historical and contemporary context of Canadian sport in order to determine curling’s place within it, and then identifies five key functions of curling in order to evaluate, using function-based appraisal methodologies, the quality of the records that have been collected in archival repositories. The functions, structures, and records of two urban curling clubs and one rural curling club in Manitoba are then examined as case studies, and an appraisal strategy is suggested in order to better ensure that the records documenting curling in Manitoba are preserved. This strategy can be used as a template not only for appraising the records of curling, but for all sports.

The project is a collaboration between King's College London Archives, King's Centre for e-Research and the University of London Computer Centre (ULCC), utilising data held by partners in AIM25 (Archives in London and the M25) - the archive description aggregation service maintained by King's Archives and ULCC. The Open Metadata Pathway project will deliver a demonstrator of the effectiveness of opening up archival catalogues to widened automated linking and discovery.

We present the results of a survey that collected information about the demographics of participants on Amazon Mechanical Turk, together with information about their level of activity and motivation for working on Amazon Mechanical Turk. We find that approximately 50% of the workers come from the United States and 40% come from India. Country of origin tends to change the motivating reasons for workers to participate in the marketplace. Significantly more workers from India participate on Mechanical Turk because the online marketplace is a primary source of income, while in the US most workers consider Mechanical Turk a secondary source of income. While money is a primary motivating reason for workers to participate in the marketplace, workers also cite a variety of other motivating reasons, including entertainment and education.

Facebook recently deployed Facebook Messages, its first ever
user-facing application built on the Apache Hadoop platform.
Apache HBase is a database-like layer built on Hadoop designed
to support billions of messages per day. This paper describes the
reasons why Facebook chose Hadoop and HBase over other
systems such as Apache Cassandra and Voldemort and discusses
the applicationBs requirements for consistency, availability,
partition tolerance, data model and scalability. We explore the
enhancements made to Hadoop to make it a more effective
realtime system, the tradeoffs we made while configuring the
system, and how this solution has significant advantages over the
sharded MySQL database scheme used in other applications at
Facebook and many other web-scale companies. We discuss the
motivations behind our design choices, the challenges that we
face in day-to-day operations, and future capabilities and
improvements still under development. We offer these
observations on the deployment as a model for other companies
who are contemplating a Hadoop-based solution over traditional
sharded RDBMS deployments.
