This paper addresses the problem of building reliable computing programs over remote procedure call (RPC) systems by using replication and transaction techniques. We rst establish the computational model: the RPC transactions. Based on this RPC transaction model, we present the design of our system for managing RPC transactions in the replicated-server environment. Finally we present some resul...

The rational polynomial coefficients (RPC) model is a generalized sensor model that is used as an alternative solution for the physical sensor model for IKONOS of the Space Imaging. As the number of sensors increases along with greater complexity, and the standard sensor model is needed, the applicability of the RPC model is increasing. The RPC model has the advantages in being able to substitu...

The performance of reactive powder concrete (RPC) is much higher than that ordinary concrete, and the engineering application gradually increasing. bond failure process slip between RPC reinforcement will show new characteristics. It necessary to study behavior steel bar. direct drawing test was carried out on 36 bonding specimens in order bar concrete. research shows cohesive force consists th...

fiber reinforced polymers (frp) have widely used for the purposes of enhances strength and ductility of concrete columns. proper design of such hybrid columns, however, requires a better recognition of the behavior of concrete columns confined with frp. in this paper, the influence of frp thickness, concrete compressive strength, and column size on the performance of eccentrically loaded reacti...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to evaluate the retinal and choroidal thickness of the macular region in patients with unilateral relentless placoid chorioretinitis (RPC) and macular involvement. Patients diagnosed with RPC affecting only one eye underwent a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), axial length (AL) measurement, slit-lamp e...

The Peregrine RPC system provides performance very close to the optimum allowed by the hardware limits, while still supporting the complete RPC model. Implemented on an Ethernet network of Sun-3/60 workstations, a null RPC between two user-level threads executing on separate machines requires 573 ms. This time compares well with the fastest network RPC times reported in the literature, ranging ...

During the last years JavaScript Object Notation Remote Procedure Call (JSON-RPC) emerged as the de facto standard for service calling on mobile devices. Unfortunately many enterprise services are still only available as traditional Web Service accessible via Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). In this paper we introduce the Web Service to JSON-RPC...

MicroRNAs manifest significant functions in brain neural stem cell (NSC) self-renewal and differentiation through the post-transcriptional regulation of neurogenesis genes. Let-7b is expressed in the mammalian brain and regulates NSC proliferation and differentiation by targeting the nuclear receptor TLX, which is an essential regulator of NSC self-renewal. Whether let-7b and TLX act as importa...
