The Availability of Complemental k-Coteries
k-Coterie is a graceful concept to solve the distributed k-mutual exclusion problem. The k-mutual exclusion algorithm adopting k-coteries could provide the fault-tolerant capability. The complementalness and the availability are two important metrics to measure the fault-tolerant capability of a k-coterie. Since those two metrics are defined under two different failure assumptions, for a given ...
متن کاملComparison and Polar Opposition
My goal in this paper is to use cross-polar anomaly as an empirical basis for motivating and developing a particular approach to the semantics of gradable adjectives and the representation of adjectival polarity. Specifically, I will argue that gradable adjectives denote relations between individuals and extents, or intervals on a scale, as in the work of Seuren 1978, 1984, von Stechow 1984b, a...
متن کامل2 Opposition - Based Computing
Diverse forms of opposition are already existent virtually everywhere around us but the nature and significance of oppositeness is well understood only in specific contexts within the fields of philosophy, linguistics, psychology, logic and physics. The interplay between entities and opposite entities is apparently fundamental for maintaining universal balance. However, it seems that there is a...
متن کاملPodium for the opposition?
This is quite a paradoxical era. Scientific research is in its most productive phase and it continues to produce many beneficial technologies for mankind. For example, we rapidly progress towards a better understanding of many diseases and come up with multiple new approaches to cure them. At the same time, however, the voices against science and technology have never been more shrill. But unsu...
متن کاملKinematics of Thumb Opposition
INTRODUCTION One of the most important hand functions is thumb opposition, which results from flexion, abduction and axial rotation at the carpometacarpal, metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints [1]. The thenar muscles, innervated by the median nerve, are critical for coordinated thumb movements. It is commonly observed that thumb opposition is impaired with median neuropathy [2]. The c...
