High capacitances up to 279 nF/cm2, low leakage current densities 8 2 of ­10− A/cm at 6 V, and high breakdown felds up to 7.5 MV/cm were obtained. The transistors with the octade‑ cylphosphonic acid hybrid dielectric exhibited an improved saturation mobility of 0.58 cm2/Vs, a subthreshold slope of 151 mV/decade, a threshold voltage of 1.84 V and an on–of current ratio of ­106. The low surface energies of the self-assembled monolayers having non-polar− terminal groups, such as methyl and pentafuorophenoxy, improved the carrier conduction of the transistors due to the pentacene growth with an edge-on orientation for low voltage opera‑ tion. The pentafuorophenoxy end-group showed an accumulation of holes at the semiconductor-dielectric interface.

  • Not ACID, Not BASE, but SALT a Transaction Processing Perspective on Blockchains
    Not ACID, not BASE, but SALT A Transaction Processing Perspective on Blockchains Stefan Tai, Jacob Eberhardt and Markus Klems Information Systems Engineering, Technische Universitat¨ Berlin fst, je, [email protected] Keywords: SALT, blockchain, decentralized, ACID, BASE, transaction processing Abstract: Traditional ACID transactions, typically supported by relational database management systems, emphasize database consistency. BASE provides a model that trades some consistency for availability, and is typically favored by cloud systems and NoSQL data stores. With the increasing popularity of blockchain technology, another alternative to both ACID and BASE is introduced: SALT. In this keynote paper, we present SALT as a model to explain blockchains and their use in application architecture. We take both, a transaction and a transaction processing systems perspective on the SALT model. From a transactions perspective, SALT is about Sequential, Agreed-on, Ledgered, and Tamper-resistant transaction processing. From a systems perspec- tive, SALT is about decentralized transaction processing systems being Symmetric, Admin-free, Ledgered and Time-consensual. We discuss the importance of these dual perspectives, both, when comparing SALT with ACID and BASE, and when engineering blockchain-based applications. We expect the next-generation of decentralized transactional applications to leverage combinations of all three transaction models. 1 INTRODUCTION against. Using the admittedly contrived acronym of SALT, we characterize blockchain-based transactions There is a common belief that blockchains have the – from a transactions perspective – as Sequential, potential to fundamentally disrupt entire industries.

A user’s program may carry out many operations on the data retrieved from the database, but the DBMS is only concerned with data read/written from/to the database. The DBMS’s abstract view of a user program is a sequence of transactions (reads and writes). To understand database recovery, we must first understand the concept of transaction integrity. 4 Transactions A transaction is considered a logical unit of work ‒ START Statement: BEGIN TRANSACTION ‒ END Statement: COMMIT ‒ Execution errors: ROLLBACK Assume we want to transfer $100 from one bank (A) account to another (B): UPDATE Account_A SET Balance= Balance -100; UPDATE Account_B SET Balance= Balance +100; We want these two operations to appear as a single atomic action 5 Transactions We want these two operations to appear as a single atomic action ‒ To avoid inconsistent states of the database in-between the two updates ‒ And obviously we cannot allow the first UPDATE to be executed and the second not or vice versa.

    Drugs and acid dissociation constants Ionisation of drug molecules Most drugs ionise in aqueous solution.1 They are weak acids or weak bases. Those that are weak acids ionise in water to give acidic solutions while those that are weak bases ionise to give basic solutions. Drug molecules that are weak acids Drug molecules that are weak bases where, HA = acid (the drug molecule) where, B = base (the drug molecule) H2O = base H2O = acid A− = conjugate base (the drug anion) OH− = conjugate base (the drug anion) + + H3O = conjugate acid BH = conjugate acid Acid dissociation constant, Ka For a drug molecule that is a weak acid The equilibrium constant for this ionisation is given by the equation + − where [H3O ], [A ], [HA] and [H2O] are the concentrations at equilibrium. In a dilute solution the concentration of water is to all intents and purposes constant. So the equation is simplified to: where Ka is the acid dissociation constant for the weak acid + + Also, H3O is often written simply as H and the equation for Ka is usually written as: Values for Ka are extremely small and, therefore, pKa values are given (similar to the reason pH is used rather than [H+]. The relationship between pKa and pH is given by the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation: or This relationship is important when determining pKa values from pH measurements.
