This paper is focused on the performance analysis, comparison and optimization of distributed object middleware for Java 2: RMI (Remote Method Invocation), CORBA IDL (Interface Definition Language) and RMI-IIOP (Remote Method Invocation on Internet Inter-ORB Protocol). The paper presents the following contributions to the research on distributed object performance. First, a detailed performance...

Ever since the introduction of version 2.0 of the CORBA specification, that architecture enjoys ever-increasing popularity. There are two reasons for this, both due to the underlying principles of CORBA – easy interoperability between different ORB products and the possibility of cooperation with other (sub)systems. However, for the first advantage to come to bear, it is paramount that the IDL ...

When developing applications using distributed objects, Java developers have to make the choice which distributed object model to use. They can choose among the Remote Method Invocation (RMI) bounded with Java from version 1.1, or, they can use one of the several CORBA implementations. In version 2 Java has been supplemented with a native CORBA implementation known as Java IDL. Lately, even the...

The children from the alpha generation had intensive interaction with various technological equipment, making their acceptance of technology higher than previous generation. was more attracted to using digital literacy conventional system. However, Indonesia's Digital Literacy Index (IDL) is still in medium category. Lembang Lempo Poton one districts ground-level IDL values. This area chosen as...

We have reported previously on two truncations of apolipoprotein B (apo B-40 and apo B-89) in a kindred with hypobetalipoproteinemia. Premature stop codons were found to be responsible for both apo B-40 and apo B-89, but the physiologic mechanisms accounting for the reduced plasma concentrations of these proteins have not been determined in vivo. This study investigates the metabolism of apo B-...

Today’s distributed information systems often are collections of existing information sources and as such heterogeneous. Technical integration of heterogeneous sources is supported by CORBA [2]. However, CORBA provides very general support, and does not take source specific semantics into account. This also applies to CORBA’s Event Service. Our objective is to enhance CORBA by mechanisms that a...

Mildly oxidized LDL has many proinflammatory properties, including the stimulation of monocyte chemotaxis and adhesion, that are important in the development of atherosclerosis. Although ApoB-containing lipoproteins other than LDL may enter the artery wall and undergo oxidation, very little is known regarding their proinflammatory potential. LDL, IDL, VLDL, postprandial remnant particles, and c...

BACKGROUND Lipid abnormalities may contribute to the increased risk of atherosclerosis and coronary disease in visceral obesity. Fish oils lower plasma triacylglycerols, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. OBJECTIVE We studied the effect of fish oils on the metabolism of apolipoprotein B-100 (apo B) and chylomicron remnants in obese men. DESIGN Twenty-four dyslipidemic, ...

BACKGROUND Few studies simultaneously investigated lipids and lipoprotein biomarkers as predictors of ischemic stroke. The value of these biomarkers as independent predictors of ischemic stroke remains controversial. METHODS We conducted a prospective nested case-control study among postmenopausal women from the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study to assess the relationship between ...
