As the use of the Java language and virtual machines proliferates beyond the sphere of applets into the space of server programs, developers are requiring better performance, availability, and transactional and scalability features. This paper describes the work done for the Operating System/390 (OS/390) Java virtual machine to improve performance and serviceability, to introduce security and p...

[Purpose] The objective of this study was to determine users' satisfaction with assistive devices, and their serviceability and effectiveness. [Methods] A random sample of 138 users participated in this study. The Korean-Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology 2.0 and an additional questionnaire were used for data collection. Data were analyzed by using descriptive stat...

This paper is presentation of the development of advanced approach for modeling and structural analysis of jib structure which is usually part of waterway bucket dredgers. Object of analysis is a jib structure which will be reconstructed for the excavation of grain material from a river bed. Main goal of paper is to proof benefi ts of enough sophisticated i.e. “optimal” FEM model for structural...

The objective of this paper is to investigate the dynamic behaviour post-tensioned concrete flat slabs with different geometries and damping ratios. Four groups models lengths, widths, thicknesses ratios designed according AS3600 standard. These were used determine influence each parameter on vibration serviceability by comparing control variable method reference model. assessment parameters as...

This paper deal with highly-reliable integrated circuits for ground and space applications especially strong against soft errors. In the terrestrial region, neutrons and alpha particles are main sources to cause soft errors. They flip contents of storage cells such as SRAMs and flip flops on a semiconductor chip. Soft errors must be considered for semiconductor chips for security, automotive, a...

This paper advocates the use of self-stabilization as a provable property to achieve the goals of the self-* paradigms for systems, including availability, reliability, serviceability, disaster recovery and autonomic computing. Several recent results starting from hardware concerns, through the operating system, and ending in the applications are integrated: the selfstabilizing microprocessor [...
