AFS plays a prominent role in our plans for a mobile workstation. The AFS client manages a cache of the most recently used files and directories. But even when the cache is hot, access to cached data frequently involves some communication with one or more file servers to maintain consistency guarantees. Without network access, cached data is soon rendered unavailable. We have modified the AFS c...

In this paper, the concept of pairwise fuzzy globally disconnected spaces is introduced and studied. The condition under which pairwise fuzzy globally disconnected spaces become pairwise fuzzy -Baire spaces, is established. Several characterizations of pairwise fuzzy globally disconnected spaces, are obtained.

A Socio-economic Analysis of Youth Disconnectedness Disconnectedness among youth can have several dimensions. From a socio-economic viewpoint, failure in school, unemployment and the lack of an intimate relationship are among the most important ones. In our samples from SOEP youth questionnaires, approximately 13% of young people in Germany between the ages of 17 and 19 are disconnected. The pe...

Mobile agents are typically referred as a very adequate paradigm for using in mobile and disconnected computing environments. They are autonomous, have a strong sense of location and are able to operate independently of a central server. Nevertheless, although this is true, for developing a mobile agent system that is capable of operating in a disconnected computing environment, much more is ne...

As mobile computing devices become more and more common, mobile databases are becoming popular. An important feature of these database systems is their ability to allow optimistic replication of data by providing disconnected mobile devices the ability to perform local updates. The key problem to this approach is the reconciliation problem, i.e. the problem of serializing potentially conflictin...

The article by Phinney (September 1996) concerning ethnic groups commands thought. Having attained the age of 67, with a certain irritable detachment that is due to semi­ invalidism added to my view of things, I would like to point out some rather distaste­ ful aspects of Phinney's views. Let me be clear: I am a White, male, heterosexual, Euro­ pean American Jew of Eastern European origins. The...

We construct two algebraic versions of homotopy theory of rational disconnected topological spaces, one based on differential graded commutative associative algebras and the other one on complete differential graded Lie algebras. As an application of the developed technology we obtain results on the structure of Maurer-Cartan spaces of complete differential graded Lie algebras.

Preliminary results of a calculation of disconnected nucleon electromagnetic factors factors on the lattice are presented. The implementation of the numerical subtraction scheme is outlined. A comparison of results for electric and magnetic disconnected form factors on two lattice sizes with those of the Kentucky group is presented. Unlike previous results, the results found in this calculation...

For an integer k ≥ 1, we say that a (finite simple undirected) graph G is k-distance-locally disconnected, or simply k-locally disconnected if, for any x ∈ V (G), the set of vertices at distance at least 1 and at most k from x induces in G a disconnected graph. In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the number of edges of a k-locally disconnected graph on n vertices. For general grap...

A new relation between morphisms in a category is introduced – roughly speaking (accurately in the categories Set and Top), f ‖ g iff morphisms w : dom(f) → dom(g) never map subobjects of fibres of f non-constantly to fibres of g. (In the algebraic setting replace fibre with kernel.) This relation and a slight weakening of it are used to define “connectedness” versus “disconnectedness” for morp...
