Abstract: Techniques for storage management involve: obtaining information indicating an error of a storage device of a data storage system; if the number of occurrences of the error within a predetermined time period exceeds a predetermined threshold, stopping obtaining the information indicating the error; and generating an event indicating whether the number of occurrences of the error within the predetermined time period exceeds the predetermined threshold for further diagnosis of the error. As a result, errors from the storage device can be automatically managed, which helps to improve the data storage system's capacity to handle different types of errors of the storage device.

Abstract: Techniques for managing a storage system involve cleaning up a persistent storage disk in a backup mode to increase a writing rate of the persistent storage disk. The techniques further involve creating a library partition in the cleaned persistent storage disk. The techniques further involve writing cache data in a volatile storage device into the library partition. Accordingly, in a storage device with only a single persistent storage disk, cache data in a volatile storage device can be written into the persistent storage disk at a relatively high writing rate, thereby achieving efficient memory persistence.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a silicon-controlled rectifier water-cooling heat dissipation device, including: a water-cooling cavity body; a silicon-controlled rectifier; and a heat dissipation plate. The heat dissipation plate includes: a first heat dissipation part configured to contact the water-cooling cavity body; and a second heat dissipation part connected to the first heat dissipation part and configured to contact the silicon-controlled rectifier. A preset included angle is formed between a plane where the first heat dissipation part is located and a plane where the second heat dissipation part is located. The heat of the silicon-controlled rectifier is transferred to the water-cooling cavity body through the heat dissipation plate. An occupied volume can be effectively reduced because the first heat dissipation part and the second heat dissipation part form the included angle. The cooling water takes away the heat by the flowability of the water to improve heat dissipation efficiency.

Abstract: Techniques for submitting unaligned IO data to an alignment-required IO stack of a storage system. The techniques include determining that IO data specified by an IO command contains unaligned IO data, and generating an IOCB and a tunneling IOCB. The IOCB includes information pertaining to the tunneling IOCB and the tunneling IOCB includes information pertaining to a sector-unaligned buffer for storing the IO data. The tunneling IOCB satisfies a sector-alignment requirement of an IO stack. The techniques include, in response to submitting the IO command and the information included in the IOCB to the IO stack, determining that the tunneling IOCB satisfies the sector-alignment requirement of the IO stack; having satisfied the sector-alignment requirement, building a driver command based on the IO command and the information included in the tunneling IOCB; and, transferring, by executing the driver command, the unaligned IO data from the sector-unaligned buffer to a storage device.

Abstract: Senolytic and anti-inflammatory prodrugs are provided, which are designed from a cytotoxic agent, by chemically modifying the cytotoxic agent to incorporate a site cleavable by SA-?-gal following delivery of the prodrug in vivo, to release the active parent drug. The prodrug includes a galactose-based moiety, which is preferably acetylated, and benzyl oxy carboxy group and a cytotoxic agent moiety. The selenolytic prodrug is used to selectively kill one or more senescent cells and/or reduce an acute or chronic inflammatory response in a subject in need thereof, by administering to the subject therapeutically effective amount of the senolytic prodrugs. The disclosed compositions can be used to reduce one or more symptoms associated with a Senescence-associated disease or disorder or an inflammatory disorder, for example, a virus-mediated inflammation, in a subject.

Abstract: Techniques for facilitating device-to-device (D2D) communications using a high efficiency distributed channel access scheme are generally described herein. In some examples, a communication zone allocated for wireless D2D communications is divided into resource contention and scheduled transmission portions. The resource contention segment may be used to transmit a request message from a transmitting device to a receiving device (a request-to-send message), and transmit a response to the request message from the receiving device to the transmitting device (a clear-to-send message). The response can indicate a time for the data transmission to occur during the scheduled transmission segment. During the scheduled transmission segment, the scheduled data transmission and other D2D data transmissions among the various devices will be performed. In further examples, contention access techniques may be used during the resource contention segment to manage access to the resource channel.
