In this paper we propose a new dynamic token-based distributed synchronization algorithm that utilizes a new technique called optimistic broadcasting (optcasting) to improve efficiency. Briefly, an optcast message is a reliable unicast one that can also be heard by nodes other than its designated destination. Our algorithm manages pending token requesters by a distributed queue, and optcasts a ...

Numerous studies have so far been conducted on the cultivation of Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepraemurium. However, no media-bound method of cultivation has been established. A number of investigators have reported that M. lepraemurium may be cultivated by cell culture technics. The method employed by Chang (1. 2. 3 ), Chang and Neikirk (4), Chang, Anderson and Vaituzis (~), in whic...

The present study investigates the difficulty of solving the mathematical problem, namely the DLP (Discrete Logarithm Problem) for ephemeral keys. The DLP is the basis for many public key cryptosystems. The ephemeral keys are used in such systems to ensure security. The DLP defined on a prime field p Z * of random prime is considered in the present study. The most effective method to solve the ...

We consider effects of CP violating phases in μ and At parameters in the effective supersymmetric standard model on B → Xsll and ǫK . Scanning over the MSSM parameter space with experimental constraints including edm constraints from Chang-Keung-Pilaftsis (CKP) mechanism, we find that the Br(B → Xsll) can be enhanced by upto ∼ 85% compared to the standard model (SM) prediction, and its correlat...
