متن کاملHolocene Closure of Lib Pond, Marshall Islands
Well-preserved sediment from closed water bodies of atolls such as Lib Pond are rare opportunities to reconstruct the past regional climate, which pieced together across a latitude and longitude range identify the range of movement patterns of wider scale climate phenomena such as the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). We conducted the first physico-c...
متن کاملThesis Proposal: Regional Garbage Collection
The ongoing shift from 32-bit to 64-bit processor environments forces garbage collectors to cope with the larger heaps made possible by the increased address space. On 32-bit machines, generational collectors that occasionally pause to collect the entire heap work well enough for many applications, but that paradigm does not scale up because collection pauses that take time proportional to the ...
