Reliable group communication is an important technology for building fault-tolerant applications. Yet, some of the major frameworks for distributed application development (e.g., Corba, Jini and Enterprise JavaBeans) lack support for this paradigm. We claim that this situation constitutes a major obstacle to a broader diffusion of reliable group communication in industrial applications. In this...

We report on the first case in Ireland of ureteric stenting with shape-memory alloy nickel-titanium (Memokath 051) stent in relieving malignant ureteric obstruction. Successful drainage was achieved and the patient required no further intervention indicating a clear place for these stents in the long-term management of malignant ureteric strictures. The use of ureteric double-J stenting in the ...

Dioxins are a group of anthropogenic chemical compounds created as unintended by-products through a number of activities including: combustion, certain types of chemical manufacture, chlorine bleaching of pulp and paper, and other industrial processes. Dioxins are produced in very small quantities compared to other pollutants; however, because this family of compounds are thought to be highly t...

Ascent sequences were introduced by Bousquet-Mélou, Claesson, Dukes and Kitaev in their study of (2 + 2)-free posets. An ascent sequence of length n is a nonnegative integer sequence x = x1x2 . . . xn such that x1 = 0 and xi ≤ asc(x1x2 . . . xi−1) + 1 for all 1 < i ≤ n, where asc(x1x2 . . . xi−1) is the number of ascents in the sequence x1x2 . . . xi−1. We let An stand for the set of such seque...
