today, one of the biggest problems that gripped the banking sphere, the high cost of implementing advanced technologies and the efficient use of the hardware. cloud computing is the use of shared services on the internet provides a large role in developing the banking system, without the need for operating expenses including staffing, equipment, hardware and software reducing the cost of implem...

Much research has been done in fast communication on clusters and in protocols for supporting software shared memory across them. However, the end performance of applications that were written for the more proven hardware{ coherent shared memory is still not very good on these systems. Three major layers of software (and hardware) stand between the end user and parallel performance, each with i...

background and aims: the aim of this study was the modeling of the incidence rates of colorectal, breast and prostate cancers using a shared component model in order to explore the spatial pattern of their shared risk factors (i.e., obesity and low physical activity) affecting on cancer incidence, and also to estimate the relative weight of these shared components. methods: in this study, the ...

Randomized backo‚ protocols have long been used to reduce contention on shared resources. Œey are heavily used in communication channels and radio networks, and have also been shown to greatly improve the performance of shared memory algorithms in real systems. However, while backo‚ protocols are well understood in many seŠings, their e‚ect in shared memory has never been theoretically analyzed...

Work-sharing between stations in assembly lines can reduce cycle time and improve throughput rate. This research addresses assembly lines in which tasks may be shared with their immediate upstream or downstream stations only. The study consists of three stages. In the first stage, we assume that all work content in the line can be shared. Then, the balanceability of the line, which is defined a...

Management of health-care information and clinical data in interoperable computer-based systems necessitates use of controlled health-care terminologies. In a world in which it is too expensive for every group to develop its own comprehensive health-care terminology, and to create translations to every other group’s terminology, shared terminologies are essential. However, local sites that adop...

Sir, We were pleased to read the editorial by Wilson and colleagues on improving methadone maintenance in general practice for problem drug users (September Journal, p.454). We have followed with interest their previous general practice work with problem drug users in Glasgow, although we are still confused about their budget allocation. In the editorial Wilson and colleagues state that 'the co...
