Recently, an interesting dynamic data allocation algorithm for the management of replicated data in distributed systems has been presented by Wolfson and Jajodia. We analyze this approach from cost as well as from availability perspectives and suggest an improved algorithm that exhibits superior characteristics. Our approach establishes lower and upper bounds in the number of replicas for guara...

Moving objects databases (MODs) provide the framework for the efficient storage and retrieval of the changing position of continuously moving objects. This includes the current and past locations of moving objects and the support of spatial queries that refer to historical location information and future projections as well. Nowadays, new spatiotemporal applications that require tracking and re...

ISOCITRIC DEHYDROGENASE (lCD)5 is one of the newer enzymes that has recently come to the attention of clinical medicine. Sterkel et at. (1) have shown that serum lCD is elevated in hepatitis and to a lesser extent in some malignancies. Bowers and McDuffee (2) observed marked elevations of serum lCD in 2 patients who at autopsy showed extensive central lobular liver cell necrosis. The enzyme act...
