We give a functional speciication of the syntactic interface and the black box behavior of an unreliable and a reliable memory component and a remote procedure (RPC) call component. The RPC component controls the access to the memory. In addition, we specify a clerk for driving the RPC component. The used method is modular and therefore it allows us to specify each of these components independe...

BACKGROUND The mechanism and outcome of traumatic abdominal injury (TAI) varies worldwide. Moreover, data comparing TAIs in each abdominal compartment are lacking. We aimed to assess from the academic point of view, TAI based on its anatomical compartments. PATIENTS & METHODS We conducted a retrospective study for TAI patients between 2008 and 2011 in Qatar. Patients were categorized accordin...

Phosphatidic acid (PA) has a crucial role in cell membrane structure and function. For that reason it has a possible application in the treatment of some health disorders in humans, can be used as a natural and non toxic emulsifier and the component of drug carriers in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics as well as a component for synthesis of some new phospholipids. PA is short-lived in the cell and...

An orthogonally persistent programming language is a type-safe programming language that seamlessly includes a database for long-term object storage. A remote procedure call (RPC) mechanism permits calls of a procedure in another address space, and has proved to be a useful tool for building distributed systems. Taken together, an RPC mechanism and a persistent system are potentially suitable f...

A series of population simulations were used to test the accuracy of estimating the discrete rates of population change (RPC) f rom annual pup counts. The simulations indicate that pup counts can give a biased estimate of RPC, and that t h e magnitude and direction of bias depends on which life history parameters are density dependent and on the maximum rate of population change. In general, if...

Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) are widely used over the Internet as they provide a simple and elegant way of interaction between the client and the server. This paper proposes a solution for securing the remote procedure calls (RPC) by tunneling it through HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer). RPC over HTTP actually uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol as a transpor...

Web Services are defined by the W3C as “a software system designed to support interoperable machine to machine interaction over a network". There are however, several alternatives as to how Web Services can be implemented: WS-* and Plain Old XML (POX) are popular approaches that markup their RPC (Remote Procedure Call) based payloads with eXtensible Markup Language (XML). Both approaches can us...

In this paper, we propose a method of reducing the latency of cross-domain remote procedure call (RPC). Traditional systems use separate address spaces to provide memory protection between separate processes, but even with a highly optimized RPC system, the cost of switching between address spaces can make cross-domain RPC's prohibitively expensive. Our approach is to use anonymity instead of h...

This paper presents the implementation of the data acquisition system of the resistive plate chamber (RPC) subdetector in compact muon solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in CERN. The described readout system connects with the RPC detector, the RPC link system, the RPC trigger system and the CMS data acquisition system and creates one of multiple metrological systems in...
