In recent years, Software Transactional Memory systems (STMs) have garnered significant interest as an elegant alternative for addressing concurrency issues in memory. STM systems take optimistic approach. Multiple transactions are allowed to execute concurrently. On completion, each transaction is validated and if any inconsistency is observed it is aborted. Otherwise it is allowed to commit. ...

The tree species composition (TSC) reflects a forest's diversity and is relevant for forest planning, biodiversity conservation, resources management. Yet, accurate information on at landscape scale largely missing, especially mixed forests remote areas. One reason being that mapping time-consuming, costly, in Here we develop robust method TSC temperate forest. Based inventory plots considering...

the main objective of an ecosystem sustainable management is to preserve itscapacity to respond and adapt to current disturbances and/or future changes, and maintain theprovision of environmental goods and services. two very important properties linked to thisobjective are the ecosystem resilience and resistance to disturbance factors. the objective ofthis paper is to recommend conceptual modif...

BACKGROUND Malignant germ cell tumours represent the vast majority of palpable testicular masses, and radical orchiectomy is still considered the standard-of-care. Testis-sparing surgery (TSS) could be an alternative to radical orchiectomy in patients diagnosed with small testicular masses (STMs). The aim of this article was to review the current indications and the oncological and functional o...

Software Transactional Memory (STM) implementations typically instrument each memory access within transactions with a call to an STM barrier to ensure the correctness of the transactions. Compared to simple memory accesses, STMbarriers are complex operations that add significant overhead to transactions doing many memory accesses. Thus, whereas STMs have shown good results for micro-benchmarks...

Software transactional memory provides an appealing alternative to locks by improving programmability, reliability, and scalability without relying on custom hardware. However, existing STMs are impractical because they add high overhead and provide weak semantics—or they provide strong atomicity semantics and add even higher overhead. Existing STMs are impractical largely due to the cost of co...

INTRODUCTION Radical orchiectomy (RO) is still considered the standard of care for malignant germ cell tumours, which represent the vast majority of the palpable testicular masses. In those patients diagnosed with small testicular masses (STMs), testis-sparing surgery (TSS) could be an alternative treatment to RO. The aim of this updated review is to evaluate the current indications for TSS, an...

The transactional memory programming paradigm is gaining momentum as the approach of choice for replacing locks in concurrent programming. This paper introduces the transactional locking II (TL2) algorithm, a software transactional memory (STM) algorithm based on a combination of commit-time locking and a novel global version-clock based validation technique. TL2 improves on state-of-the-art ST...

An unusual S1-nuclease sensitive microsatellite (STMS) has been found in the single copy, rat polymeric immunoglobulin receptor gene (PIGR) terminal exon. In Fisher rats, elements within or beyond the STMS are expressed variably in the 3' untranslated regions (3'UTRs) of two 'Groups' of PIGR-encoded hepatic mRNAs (pIg-R) during liver regeneration. STMS elements include neighboring constant regi...
