ABSTRACT: Linda1 is a model for parallel processing based on distributed data structures. Processors and data objects communicate by means of the tuple space (TS) or Linda memory. The interaction between the tuple space and the processors is carried out by four basic operations: out, in, eval, and rd. These operations add/remove/read data objects from/to the tuple space . eval on the other hand...

As the sheer volume of new knowledge increases, there is a need to find effective ways to convey and correlate emerging knowledge in machine-readable form. The success of the Semantic Web hinges on the ability to formalize distributed knowledge in terms of a varied set of ontologies. We present Pan-Onto-Eval, a comprehensive approach to evaluating an ontology by considering its structure, seman...

Co-pyrolysis of Shenmu coal (SM) and cotton stalk (CS) at different blend ratios were carried out in a tubular furnace. The pyrolysis temperature was up to 600 °C at 5 °C/min and kept for 15 min. The results indicated that there was an interactive effect between SM and CS, which increased the tar yield. Moreover, the content of light components in co-pyrolysis tar from all CS/SM blend ratios wa...

This study presents the results derived from micropaleontological and organic geochemical analyses of mud breccia samples obtained (through gravity coring) five volcanoes (Gelendzhik, Heraklion, Moscow, Milano, Leipzig) located at Olimpi volcano field on Mediterranean Ridge accretionary complex. A thorough calcareous nannofossil semi-quantitative analysis was performed to determine biostratigra...

Oil shales are developed in the Shale Member of Middle Jurassic Shimengou Formation Qaidam Basin, China. The oil can be classified into three quality groups (low-, medium-, and high-quality shales) through a comprehensive analysis protocol that includes Rock-Eval pyrolysis, total organic carbon (TOC) content, proximate analysis, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), X-ray diffraction (X...

Cyclooctatetraene dianion (I) reacts as a 1,2and a 1 ,4-dicarbanionic reagent with various acyl halides. Thus I and acetyl chloride give 3,5,7,9-dodecatetraene-2,1l-dione (111), syn-9-acetoxy-9-methylbicyclo[4.2.1]nonatriene (V), syn-9-hydroxy-9-methylbicyclo[4.2.l]nonatriene (IV), and syn-9-acetoxy-9-methylbicyclo[6.1 .O]nonatriene (VI). Benzoyl chloride and I yield truns,cis,cis,trans-l ,lO-d...
