As a result of technology trends towards multi-gigahertz processors, the I/O system is becoming a critical bottleneck for many applications. Interrupts are a major aspect of most device drivers. Characterizing interrupt performance and its relation to architectural trends is important for understanding and improving I/O subsystem performance. Kernel instrumentation in combination with performan...

In 2008, 150 people gathered for a wedding celebration in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Three hours after ingestion of a variety of foods including pancakes filled with minced chicken, several guests exhibited symptoms of acute gastroenteritis such as vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and ague. Twelve guests were reported to have fallen ill, with nine of these seeking medical care in hospitals. At least...

erative in the enforcement of the law. As a result the examination has fallen into the province of the public health authorities, and the income therefrom has been lost to the private doctor. In many cities the examination has actually been abandoned because of the laxity with which the profession has carried on this work. Compensation for this examination has apparently not been enough to inte...

There are a growing number of real-time applications (e.g., real-time controls, and audio/video conferencing) that require certain quality of service (QoS) guarantees from the underlying communication subsystem. The communication subsystem (host as well as network) must support real-time communication services that can be used to provide the required QoS of these applications , while providing ...

Purpose Food safety knowledge and hygienic practices by food handlers play an important role in the prevention of contamination prepared. Design/methodology/approach This descriptive survey was conducted Maseru around taxi ranks amongst 48 93 consumers using a semi-structured questionnaire for assessing handler knowledge, attitudes practices, open-ended obtaining consumer perceptions observatio...

The Multi-Handler Knapsack Problem under Uncertainty (MHKPu) is a new stochastic knapsack problem where, given a set of items, characterized by volume and random profit, and a set of potential handlers, we want to find a subset of items which maximizes the expected total profit. The item profit is given by the sum of a deterministic profit plus a stochastic profit due to the random handling cos...

This paper describes a system that controls access to computer networks through publicly accessible LANs, enabling network administrators to authorize users either on a permanent or occasional basis. The system has been designed with minimal assumptions about the software and hardware required of users, and requires very little specialized equipment within the network infrastructure. We enumera...
