Drawing largely on primary data, it reports that aided by discourse which positioned the as embodiment of interests, partnership was deployed politicians to generate political capital. Furthermore, Mega Infrastructure Projects MIP s...

HE TREND toward composting reached its peak in Switzerland in 1975 when approximately 10 percent-or over 200,000 tons-of garbage were composted. However, as garbage production per capita and per year increased ;gin 1960 to 430 kg in 1987, cheminination also accelerated. This led to concern about excessive pollutants in compost and their impact on human health and the environment. Switzerland's...

Mobile networks pose new issues in the field of distributed garbage collection. Garbage collection must deal with volatile connections that may break remote object references unexpectedly for an unpredictable amount of time. As a result, no automatic distributed garbage collection satisfies the new hardware phenomena. A semantic-based approach called semi-automatic garbage collection is propose...

Infrastructure degradation in many post-industrial cities has increased the availability of potential mosquito habitats, including container habitats that support infestations of invasive disease-vectors. This study is unique in examining both immature and adult mosquito abundance across the fine-scale variability in socio-economic condition that occurs block-to-block in many cities. We hypothe...

1 Parallel, multithreaded Java applications such as web servers, database servers, and scientific applications are becoming increasingly prevalent. Most of them have high object instantiation rates through the new bytecode that is implemented in a garbage collection subsystem typically. For aforementioned applications, traditional garbage collectors are often the bottleneck that limits program ...
