CCJ is a communication library that adds MPI-like message passing and collective operations to Java. Rather than trying to adhere to the precise MPI syntax, CCJ aims at a clean integration of communication into Java’s object-oriented framework. For example, CCJ uses thread groups to support Java’s multithreading model and it allows any data structure (not just arrays) to be communicated. CCJ is...

BACKGROUND Associations of atherosclerosis risk factors with unrecognized myocardial infarction (UMI) are unclear. We investigated associations of midlife risk factors with UMI and recognized MI (RMI) detected 31 years later by cardiac magnetic resonance. METHODS AND RESULTS The Reykjavik Study (1967-1991) collected serial risk factors in subjects, mean (SD) age 48 (7) years. In ICELAND-MI (2...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of risk of malignancy index (RMI) based on a serum CA125 level, ultrasound findings and menopausal status in primary evaluation of patients with adnexal masses in daily clinical practice. METHODS One hundred and fifty one women with adnexal masses were enrolled. Ultrasound characteristics, menopausal status and serum CA125 level were doc...

Silicibacter sp. strain TM1040, a member of the Roseobacter clade, forms a symbiosis with unicellular phytoplankton, which is inextricably linked to the biphasic "swim or stick" lifestyle of the bacteria. Mutations in flaC bias the population toward the motile phase. Renewed examination of the FlaC(-) strain (HG1016) uncovered that it is composed of two different cells: a pigmented type, PS01, ...

The aim of this project is to carry out the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the assessment instrument known as the Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI) within the Brazilian cultural context and in Brazilian Portuguese for people suffering from strokes. The RMI was translated into Portuguese and translated back into English by independent bi-lingual translators, preserving the characterist...

Java and distributed object models are important for building modern, scalable, interoperable applications. This paper is focused on the performance analysis, comparison and optimization of distributed object middleware for Java 2: RMI (Remote Method Invocation), IDL (Interface Definition Language – CORBA) and RMI-IIOP (Remote Method Invocation over Internet Inter-ORB Protocol). The paper prese...

Java’s support for parallel and distributed processing makes the language attractive for metacomputing applications, such as parallel applications that run on geographically distributed (wide-area) systems. To obtain actual experience with a Java-centric approach to metacomputing, we have built and used a high-performance wide-area Java system, called Manta. Manta implements the Java Remote Met...

In order to overcome the disadvantages of existing centralized network management systems that use simple objects, dynamic object platform is proposed as alternative system. So the distributed network management systems are implemented using various distributed platforms such as CORBA and JAVA-RMI. Subsequently mobile agent-based platform is proposed. The mobile agent-based platform can additio...

The Richtmyer–Meshkov instability (RMI) results from the impulsive acceleration of a density interface where either it or is perturbed. Density interfaces may arise due to change in gas species, isotope, temperature combination these. We computationally investigate effect type on plasma RMI, which relevant for range applications, including inertial confinement fusion. simulate evolution single-...

A major challenge facing grid applications is the appropriate handling of failures. In this paper we address the problem of making parallel Java applications based on Remote Method Invocation (RMI) fault tolerant in a way transparent to the programmer. We use globally consistent checkpointing to avoid having to restart long-running computations from scratch after a system crash. The application...
