Abstract Recent advances in non-volatile main memory (NVM) technology have spurred research on algorithms that are resilient to intermittent failures cause processes crash and subsequently restart. In this paper we present a Recoverable Mutual Exclusion (RME) algorithm supports abortability. Our guarantees FCFS strong liveness property: do not starve even runs consisting of infinitely many cras...

We discuss the recoverable and irrecoverable energy densities associated with a pulse at a point in the propagation medium and derive easily computed expressions to calculate these quantities. Specific types of fields are required to retrieve the recoverable portion of the energy density from the point in the medium, and we discuss the properties that these fields must have. Several examples ar...

12-Tungstophosphoric acid supported on silica-coated magnetic nano particles was prepared and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. Acidity of the catalysts was measured by potentiometric titration with n-butylamine. Catalytic activity of the prepared sample was evalu...

The purely inorganic copper oxide on silica catalyzes the reaction of methyl phenyldiazoacetate with N-methyl indole under mild reaction conditions, giving the alkylation (formally a C-H insertion) in position 3, and the catalyst can be recovered and reused at least in 5 consecutive runs with only minor loss in activity. The scope of the reaction includes various diazo compounds and indole or p...

Fe(3)O(4):PVP/Au nanocomposite synthesized via a two-step procedure was tested as a quasi-homogenous alcohol oxidation catalyst. It was found that the nanocomposite was able to carry out aerobic oxidation of alcohols in water at room temperature. Studies show rapid magnetic recoverability and reusability characteristics.

A magnetic nanoparticle-supported Pd catalyst was readily prepared from inexpensive starting materials and shown to catalyze various oxidation reactions with high turnover number (TON) and excellent selectivity. The ease of recovery using an external magnetic field, high activity, and the intrinsic stability of the catalyst make this protocol economic and sustainable.

We generalize the construction of locally recoverable codes on algebraic curves given by Barg, Tamo and Vlăduţ [4] to those with arbitrarily many recovery sets by exploiting the structure of fiber products of curves. Employing maximal curves, we create several new families of locally recoverable codes with multiple recovery sets, including codes with two recovery sets from the generalized Giuli...
