We present a new approach to parallel copying garbage collection on symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) machines appropriate for Java and other object-oriented languages. Parallel, in this setting, means that the collector runs in several parallel threads. Our collector is based on a new idea called delayed allocation, which completely eliminates the fragmentation problem of previous parallel copyin...

in this paper, the performance evaluation of a two-way hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (pv/t) solar collector was analytically and experimentally carried out. mathematical expressions for operating parameters in glass to glass and glass to tedlar pv/t solar collectors were developed and experimentally validated by a glass to tedlar pv/t solar collector system. also the influence of air flow rate on...

This paper attempts to analyze the propagation characteristics of radio signal inside a partially open drain environment using an empirical approach. The proposed research topic concerns a unique situation in several Asian countries because the drainage systems in these countries differ notably from those in the US and Europe in that the former are partially open on the top while the latter are...

The wide-stream impaction on a class of semi-infinite twodimensional symmetric bodies having flat or circular-arc noses placed in a uniform potential flow of aerosols is investigated. The governing Stokes equations of motion are nonlinear differential equations involving a parameter called the Stokes number. The study calculates analytically the critical value of the Stokes number on the centre...

A reference counting garbage collector cannot reclaim unreachable cyclic structures of objects. Therefore, reference counting collectors either use a backup tracing collector seldom, or employ a cycle collector to reclaim cyclic structures. Recently, the first on-the-fly cycle collector, that may run concurrently with program threads, was presented by Bacon and Rajan [3]. This demonstrated the ...

In the present work, a prototype of a new type of solar collectors, which called Direct Absorption Solar Collector, was built and its thermal performance is experimentally compared with conventional flat plate solar collector under transient and steady state conditions. Different volume fractions of multi wall carbon nanotubes in water and ethylene glycol mixture (70%:30% in volume) were used a...

The garbage collector presented in this paper makes use of two well known compaction garbage collection algorithms with very diierent performance characteristics: Cheney's two-space copying collector and Jon-ker's single-space sliding compaction collector. We propose a scheme which allows either collector to be used. The run-time memory requirements of the program being executed are used to det...

we investigate buchbaum and eisenbud's construction of the second symmetric power $s_r(x)$ of a chain complex $x$ of modules over a commutative ring $r$. we state and prove a number of results from the folklore of the subject for which we know of no good direct references. we also provide several explicit computations and examples. we use this construction to prove the following ...
