In this paper, we present formalization and an implementation of a linear hashing algorithm in nested transaction environment to handle large amount of data with increased concurrency. Nested transactions allow parallel execution of transactions, and handle transaction aborts in our system. First, We formalize the nested transaction model in a linear has structure environment using wellknown I/...

The workshop The Helicity Structure of the Nucleon (BNL June 5, 2006) was organized as part of the 2006 RHIC & AGS Users’ Meeting to review the status of the spin problem and future directions. The presentations can be found at [1]. Recent data suggest small polarized glue and strangeness in the proton. Here we present a personal summary of the main results and presentations. What is new and ex...

This paper presents a solution to check integrity constraints in database systems supporting nested transactions. Using nested transactions allows to introduce parallelism inside a transaction and to partially recover failing transactions by deening a hierarchy of sub-transactions. If a constraint is violated by some sub-transactions, it is possible to reach the validation of the nested transac...

purpose: to ascertain whether the use of nested-pcr (nested polymerase chain reaction) technique leads to more rapid and accurate diagnosis of bacterial endophthalmitis. methods: the aqueous humor and vitreous samples of 24 eyes of 24 patients with bacterial endophthalmitis were evaluated by microscopy, diagnostic aerobic culture, and nested- pcr to detect the infectious agent. results: aerobic...

conclusions in molecular epidemiology studies, nested pcr has higher sensitivity than pcr. results of this study support the colonization of p. jiroveci in patients receiving lung transplantation. patients who are carriers of p. jiroveci are at a higher risk of p. jiroveci pneumonia. results the genome of p. jiroveci was revealed by a 346 bp pcr product in the initial amplification and a 120 bp...

We developed the Nested Relational Sequence Database System (NRSD System), which is built upon the Nested Relational Sequence Model (NRSM). The NRSM eliminates a substantial amount of redundancy embedded in XML documents and preserves the order of XML data. In this paper, we demonstrate that the storing and querying of XML data are desirable over an NRS relation, which we incorporate an index s...

 ABSTRACT Life-threatening infections caused by the encapsulated fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans have been increasing steadily over the past 10 years. Cryptococcus neoformans is recognized as the most frequent fungal infection of the central nervous system (CNS) in immunocompetent as well as immunocompromised patients. We report the development of a semi-nested- PCR-based assay for the ...
