This study aims to analyze the concept of pawang hujan (rain handler) phenomenon and its connection with culture beliefs people in Indonesia. Through data collection analysis from various sources within last 10 (ten) years consisting books, journals, other relevant supportive obtained through Google Scholar search engine, it is known that Indonesia still believe effectiveness rain handler’s job...

The present study was designed to determine whether reactivity toward humans can be used to predict a pig's reactivity to the slaughter procedure as measured by postmortem muscle metabolism. Forty-two pigs were group-reared in six pens with straw-bedding. Pigs received regular positive (HI) or mildly negative (RC) handling training in a separate pen for 40 d before slaughter. Control pigs remai...

Bi-directional request-response interaction is a standard communication pattern in Service Oriented Computing (SOC). Such a pattern should be interrupted in case of faults. In the literature, different approaches have been considered: WS-BPEL discards the response, while Jolie waits for it in order to allow the fault handler to appropriately close the conversation with the remote service. We in...

Hardware/Software Co-Design usually encounters serious problems to guarantee strong real-time constraints while serving many interrupt routines. We present an enhanced register-based RISC processor, which is capable of launching every interrupt routine within two clock cycles. This processor is implemented as soft IP-Module and features a customizable instruction set, extensive parameterization...

On many modern processors, context switches are costly in terms of latency. In this report, we argue that latency caused by kernel thread scheduling for incoming network messages can be avoided in a number of common situations, where instead the interrupt handler itself can perform the necessary protocol processing. For processors with high context switch costs, this can give a significant perf...

The Acceptor-Connector design pattern decouples connection establishment and service initialization in a distributed system from the processing performed once a service is initialized. This decoupling is achieved with three components: acceptors, connectors, and service handlers. A connector actively establishes a connection with a remote acceptor component and initializes a service handler to ...

This short paper is aimed to discuss the challenges for location-based services and proposes our framework, which makes it possible to obtain information from heterogeneous sources, and further set up the collaboration between Data Repositories and derived Top Hits Repository to improve the request-response efficiency. In our framework, the Data Handler, Profile Manager, Data Repository and TOP...
