Transactional data structures with the same performance of highly concurrent data structures enable performance-competitive transactional applications. Although Software Transactional Memory (STM) is a promising technology for designing and implementing transactional applications, STM-based transactional data structures still perform inferior to their optimized, concurrent (i.e. non-transaction...

This paper uses the case of the Japanese cult Aura Shinrikyo to illustrate how network constructions can aid in the development of indications and warning for transnational threats. Following a brief primer on Aum, the paper describes Aum’s organizational and transactional networks, and examines how analysts could have used these representations to generate indications and warnings. The main co...

In this paper we present CMTJava, a domain specific language for composable memory transactions [7] in Java. CMTJava provides the abstraction of transactional objects. Transactional objects have their fields accessed only by special get and set methods that are automatically generated by the compiler. These methods return transactional actions as a result. A transactional action is an action th...

This paper combines the use of gift theory and metatheory Morphogenetic Approach as a framework for proposal that relationship between unpaid interns ‘employers’ may be conceptualized form transactional, but asymmetrical, gift-exchange. The article begins by applying insights from to findings range studies into internships. It is argued that, while are initial gift-givers in delivering labour, ...

The discovery of association rules from large amounts of structured or semi-structured data is an important datamining problem (Agrawal et al., 1993; Agrawal & Srikant, 1994; Braga et al., 2002, 2003; Cong et al., 2002; Miyahara et al., 2001; Termier et al., 2002; Xiao et al., 2003). It has crucial applications in decision support and marketing strategy. The most prototypical application of ass...

The computer-architecture community’s recent focus on multicore architectures has spurred renewed interest in concurrent-programming techniques and abstractions. For programmers to take advantage of the processing power of today’s multi-core chips, they need to write multithreaded applications. Specifically, the programming-language community has focused on software transactions. A software tra...

We used a click reaction to synthesize a bidentate 1,2,3-triazole-based ligand, TA, for use in the preparation of aqueous CdS quantum dots (QDs). TA-conjugated CdS QDs exhibited two fluorescence emission peaks, one at 540 nm arising from CdS nanocrystals and the other at approximately 670 nm arising from TA-CdS QD complexes formed via surface coordination. Coordination between TA and CdS was ve...

the purpose of this quantitative correlation study was to determine the extent to which the role of leadership style preferences correlate with employee satisfaction with supervision among employees and leaders of an iranian oil company. this study measured preferences for each of five common leadership styles and examined correlations with measures of employee satisfaction. the styles studied ...

Transactional patterns are used to specify flexible and reliable composite Web services. A transactional pattern is a convergence concept between workflow patterns and advanced transactional models. These are of coordination patterns and as a structured transaction. This project proposes an event-driven approach to validate the transactional behavior of service compositions. The transactional b...
