PHOENIX is a toolkit for distributed programming with groups in large-scale distributed systems. The PHOENIX programming interface is objectoriented. It consists in an extensible class library of group management and group communication abstractions, designed with a particular concern for modularity and reusability. By supporting groups of abstract objects rather than groups of operating system...

Vector-containing medium harvested from murine packaging cell lines has been shown to contain factors that can negatively influence the transduction and maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells. Thus, we generated a human packaging cell line with a gibbon ape leukemia virus pseudotype (Phoenix-GALV), and we evaluated vectors produced by Phoenix-GALV for their ability to transduce hematopoietic p...

The Arizona Chapter of the College sponsored a Symposium on Coccidioidomycosis on February 11-13 in Phoenix, in conjunction with the Arizona State Department of Health, the Communicable Disease Center of Phoenix, the United States Public Health Service of Atlanta, Georgia, and in cooperation with the Phoenix City Health Department. Members of the College who participated in the symposium were D...

The Planned Parenthood Committee of Phoenix was established in 1942 to expand Arizona women's access to family planning [2] resources. The Planned Parenthood Committee of Phoenix was formed through the merging of The Mother's Health Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona, with the national Planned Parenthood Federation of America. The clinic was primarily based within the Phoenix Memorial Hospital campus b...

This paper describes my effort to verify the speedup results of the Phoenix 2 framework. This framework is an implementation of MapReduce, which is a programming model for distributed computing without having the programmer to write parallel code. Reproducing the speedup results fails partly, due to performance issues in the Phoenix 2 implementation. In addition the achieved speedups for Phoeni...

The VITEK 2 (bioMérieux, Marcy L'Etoile, France) and the Phoenix systems (BD Diagnostic Systems, Sparks, Md.) are automated instruments for rapid organism identification and susceptibility testing. We evaluated the workflow, the time to result, and the performance of identification and susceptibility testing of both instruments. A total of 307 fresh clinical isolates were tested: 141 Enterobact...

At the time of its publication, Nima Yushij’s “Qoqnus” (The Phoenix) emerged as a radical departure from the norms and conventions of classical Persian poetry. Nima employed phoenix symbolism in this poem to present his zeal for a literary renaissance. Likewise, George Darley (1795-1846), the Irish Romantic poet who found himself lonely and isolated at the mitigating time borders of Romanticism...
