Although intranets are well-established organisational information environments, many companies experience that their intranets are left under-utilised by the organisational members. Consulting the standard management literature, it seems the strategy typically advocated is tighter management control. In this study, we examine the use of and the attitudes towards an international company’s intr...

Transcriptome Analyses in Legumes: A Resource for Functional Genomics

Legumes represent an important family of flowering plants in terms of providing human nutrition and capacity to fix atmospheric N for agricultural sustainability. The recent availability of genome sequence of several legume plants has helped boosting genomics research. Study of the transcriptome at a global level can provide insights into the gene space, gene function, transcriptional programs,...

Exploiting Under-Utilized Cores with Deferred Methods

Effective parallelization of fine-grained tasks, such as in dynamic program analysis, is challenging because thread communication overheads may outweigh the benefits of parallelism. In this paper, we address this issue with deferred methods, a novel Java framework that aggregates invocations of analysis methods in thread-local buffers and processes them altogether when a buffer is full. The fra...
