Nasal solution joins SARS race

The race to outpace severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).

Faster Joins , Self - Joins and

We propose a new algorithm, called Stripe-join, for performing a join given a join index. Stripe-join is inspired by an algorithm called \Jive-join" developed by Li and Ross. Stripe-join makes a single sequential pass through each input relation, in addition to one pass through the join index and two passes through a set of temporary les that contain tuple identiiers but no input tuples. Stripe...

Effects of buffered saline solution on nasal mucociliary clearance and nasal airway patency.

OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of buffered hypertonic and buffered normal saline nasal spray on mucociliary clearance and nasal airway patency. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING Double-blind trial with subjects acting as their own controls. Tertiary care academic medical center. RESULTS Buffered hypertonic saline and buffered normal saline both improved saccharine clearance times ( P < 0.0001 for ...

Solution to the race condition in the ICP

In NWG/RFC #143 a race condition in the ICP was described and a solution was suggested. The problem arises because the Host-Host protocol does not specify what the NCP should do when it gets more than one request of STR (or RTS) to the same socket. As a result this decision depends on the particular implementation: some may queue these requests (SDC for example), some will refuse a request if t...
