Scalable architectures with non-uniform memory access time (NUMAs) have gained increased popularity in recent years. The increased scalability have increased the demand for scalable lock implementations, such as the queue-based locks of Mellor-Crummey and Scott (MCS lock), and of Craig, Landin and Hagersten (CLH lock). This paper demonstrates that the first-come first-served nature of queue-bas...

A door, as a barrier to limit an access between two spaces, requires security measure ensure that only privileged people may pass. In this paper, door system using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor is proposed. This utilizes electric lock e-KTP (Kartu Tanda Penduduk elektronik/ electronic Indonesian Identity Card) the key. sequence of numbers can be read fr...

The transition to multicore processors has brought synchronization, a fundamental challenge in computer science, into focus. In looking for solutions to the problem, interest has developed in the lock-free approach, which has been proven to achieve several advantages over the traditional mutual exclusion approach. This thesis studies challenges in interprocess synchronization in shared memory m...

A lock placement describes, for each heap location, which lock guards the location, and under what circumstances. We formalize methods for reasoning about lock placements, making precise the interactions between the program, the heap structure, and the lock placement.

Assume that $A$‎, ‎$B$ are Banach algebras and that $m:Atimes Brightarrow B$‎, ‎$m^prime:Atimes Arightarrow B$ are bounded bilinear mappings‎. ‎We study the relationships between Arens regularity of $m$‎, ‎$m^prime$ and the Banach algebras $A$‎, ‎$B$‎. ‎For a Banach $A‎$‎-bimodule $B$‎, ‎we show that $B$ factors with respect to $A$ if and only if $B^{**}$ is unital as an $A^{**}‎$‎-module‎. ‎Le...

Antibiotic lock (AL) technique for catheter related infection encompasses the filling of a catheter lumen with high concentrations of antibiotics for hours. The goal of AL therapy is to decontaminate the intraluminal surface of the catheter. However the duration of antibiotic therapy is not established. An in vitro model was designed to establish the time needed to eliminate intraluminal microb...

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), such as E. coli O157:H7, are emerging food-borne pathogens worldwide. This micro-organism can damage the epithelial tissue of the large intestine. The cytotoxic effects can be neutralized by probiotics such as Bifidobacterium bifidum. Probiotics are viable cells that have beneficial effects on the health of the host. The preventing activity of B. bifid...
