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 ...

Though official data document that Hispanic youth are at a great risk for early sexual intercourse, STDs, and teen pregnancy, only few etiological studies have been conducted on Hispanic youth; almost no work has examined potential generational differences in these behaviors, and thus, these behaviors may have been mistakenly attributed to cultural differences. The current study examined the re...

As object oriented features are added to programming languages such as C demands upon dynamic memory allocation systems increase Prototyping languages such as Smalltalk and LISP have long rec ognized the impact of garbage collection on improving reliability and programmer productivity but providing garbage collection in C is hard because pointers are di cult to reliably identify Conser vative g...

In the area of optimization, applied research typically focuses on finding the best possible solution to the practical problem at hand. In contrast, a large part of basic research aims at developing novel algorithms with improved performance. In practical application, most studies employ rather simple algorithms. On the other hand, most novel algorithms are tested on a suite of artificial bench...

A common challenge for all trade unions in most of the Western world is growing union density gap between young and older workers. In this paper, we examine generational with point departure Danish case. Our data stem from two large surveys (APL II & III).We find that workers are not more individualized; to contrary, unorganized have a collective mind-set. Through lens life-course perspecti...

Despite the increased attention paid to generational differences especially from practitioners and popular press, systematic empirical intergenerational research has been scarce, is largely North American centric, lacks consistent results. The present study aimed fill this gap by examining whether exist among generations in their key work organizational attitudes, personal values, ethic values ...

Cross-generational and cross-dialectal variation in vowels among speakers of American English was examined in terms of vowel identification by listeners and vowel classification using pattern recognition. Listeners from Western North Carolina and Southeastern Wisconsin identified 12 vowel categories produced by 120 speakers stratified by age (old adults, young adults, and children), gender, and...
