This paper presents a causal logging scheme for the lazy release consistent distributed shared memory systems. Causal logging is a very attractive approach to provide the fault tolerance for the distributed systems, since it eliminates the need of the stable logging. However, since interprocess dependency must causally be transferred with the normal messages, the excessive message overhead has ...

Logging contract systems are in need of change—they are leading to environmentally destructive exploitation and poor returns to landowners. The reaction has been to ban logging, thus giving subsidies to domestic timber processing industries. Export taxes are an inefficient and inequitable means of timber revenue distribution. The logging contract needs to be changed to allow landowners and gove...

Selective logging is one of the most common forms of forest use in the tropics. Although the effects of selective logging on biodiversity have been widely studied, there is little agreement on the relationship between life-history traits and tolerance to logging. In this study, we assessed how species traits and logging practices combine to determine species responses to selective logging, base...

Logging is ubiquitous in fault-tolerant systems and its use is growing in recent research. Logs are used for many purposes: keeping histories, security, concurrency control, failure recovery, update atomicity, fast physical writes, etc. This paper surveys the uses of logging and points out the commonalities and diierences of clients' needs. It aims to provide the user and the designer of a log ...

Porosity is one of the fundamental petrophysical properties that should be evaluated for hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs. It is a vital factor in precise understanding of reservoir quality in a hydrocarbon field. Log data are exceedingly crucial information in petroleum industries, for many of hydrocarbon parameters are obtained by virtue of petrophysical data. There are three main petrophysical...

Most database systems use ARIES-like logging and recovery scheme to recover from failures and guarantee transactional consistency. ARIES relies on Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) protocol which requires that log records be durably written prior to the corresponding data changes. Database systems use the write-through capability of the storage media to enforce write-ahead logging. While SCSI disks tha...
