Monolithic operating systems (OSes) are complex pieces of software that usually offer very little reliability and security guarantees. Faulty user-space applications can generally be restarted without affecting the existing concurrent communications but those involving the faulty processes. On the other hand, in a monolithic OS design, the kernel and all its components share a common address sp...

Most conventional text retrieval methods are designed to search for documents. However, users often do not require documents themselves, but are searching for specific information that may come from a large collection of texts quickly. To satisfy this need, we have developed a model and two methods for fine-grained searching. The unit of search in this model is called an atom, and it can be a s...

The fossil record of the cephalopod genus Nautilus has been obscured because a few influential taxonomists during 20th Century decided that fossils similar to were instead other genera. We now recognize once classified as species genera Nautilus. This includes from Miocene rocks Taiwan previously described Kummelonautilus taiwanum but herein recognized being northernmost Neogene in Indo-Pacific...

A rich record of specimens with slightly sclerotised skeletal parts or even soft−bodied fossils have been established from several well−known lower and middle Cambrian Lagerstätte, e.g., Bur− gess Shale of the Stephen Formation, Kinzers, Marjum, and Wheeler formations in North America; Buen Formation in North Greenland; Doushantuo, Chengjiang, and Kaili in China; Emu Bay Shale in Australia and ...

The paper presents an emerging issue of fine-grained pedestrian action recognition that induces an advanced pre-crush safety to estimate a pedestrian intention in advance. The fine-grained pedestrian actions include visually slight differences (e.g., walking straight and crossing), which are difficult to distinguish from each other. It is believed that the fine-grained action recognition induce...

The introduction of concurrency complicates the already diicult task of large-scale programming. Concurrent object-oriented languages provide a mechanism, encapsulation, for managing the increased complexity of large-scale concurrent programs, thereby reducing the diiculty of large scale concurrent programming. In particular, ne-grained object-oriented approaches provide modularity through enca...

Databases are increasingly being used to store information covered by heterogeneous policies, which require support for access control with great flexibility. This has led to increasing interest in using fine-grained access control, where different cells in a relation may be governed by different access control rules. Although several proposals have been made to support fine-grained access cont...

Due to the increase in the number of classes and the decrease in the semantic differences between classes, fine-grained classification of Named Entities is a more difficult task than classic classification of NEs. Using only simple local context features for this fine-grained task cannot yield a good classification performance. This paper proposes a method exploiting Multi-features for fine-gra...

Sentiment analysis on social media represented by Weibo is one of the hotspot research problems in NLP. A comprehensive and systematic fine-grained annotated corpus plays a significance role. In this paper, considering the characteristics of Weibo, we focus on the constitution of a fine-grained, hierarchical opinion annotated corpus and design a set of labelling specification. We manually annot...
