Regional garbage collection offers a useful compromise between real-time and generational collection. Regional collectors resemble generational collectors, but are scalable: our main theorem guarantees a positive lower bound, independent of mutator and live storage, for the theoretical worst-case minimum mutator utilization (MMU). The theorem also establishes upper bounds for worst-case space u...

Introduction. Managing information sharing in organizations requires an understanding of information behaviour at several levels. The aim of this short paper is to add the generational approach to the understanding of workplace information sharing. Method. A survey was conducted in a multinational organization (n=237) to explore different factors affecting workplace information sharing and lear...

The present paper aims to determine the relationship between ICT usage and generation gap in Tehran urban family. This research is based on a survey in which a systematic random sampling of 384 families has been chosen to be questioned from different districts of Tehran. The results of the test showed a meaningful relationship between the usage of ICT and generation gap in urban households of T...

Generational collectors are well known as a tool for shortening pause times incurred by garbage collection and for improving garbage collection efficiency. In this paper, we investigate how to best use generations with on-the-fly collectors. On-the-fly collectors run concurrently with the program threads and induce very short program pauses. Thus, the motivation for incorporating generations is...

A comparison is made between the dynamics of steady state and generational genetic algorithms using the statistical mechanics approach developed by Pr ugel-Bennett, Shapiro and Rattray. It is shown that the loss of variance of the population under steady state selection | genetic drift | occurs at twice the rate of generational selection. By considering a simple ones counting problem with selec...

OBJECTIVE In the United States, Hispanic adolescents are at elevated risk for negative outcomes related to risky sexual behavior. To evaluate potential protective factors for this group, we examined the fit of the Hispanic Paradox for sexual behavior among high-risk youth and the moderating role of parent monitoring. METHOD We enrolled 323 justice-involved Hispanic youth (73% male; mean age 1...

This study uses a routines-based theoretical lens to examine time-based pacing of generational product innovation in the applications software industry. We develop a temporal routines model to explain the effect of time since previous innovation on generational product innovation. The model further suggests that organizational size moderates the time-pacing relationship. Employing event history...
