PIOUS is a parallel le system architecture for providing process groups access to permanent storage within a heterogeneous network computing environment. PIOUS employs data declustering to exploit the combined le I/O and bu er cache capacities of multiple interconnected computer systems. Elements of the PIOUS architecture interoperate via transaction-based protocols to provide concurrency contr...

the principle of sovereignty of will is taken into consideration in jurisprudence and law as one fundamental, significant principle. one instant of declaring sovereignty of will is the right to cancel the contract through option of condition. that the contracts are subject to the option of condition is easily accepted – though whether this is acceptable with some instants of contracts such as m...

Metacomputing environments provide a software platform for implementing parallel applications utilizing networked computing resources. Such programming environments ooer a cost-eeective alternative to parallel machines for many classes of problems. Unfortunately , most metacomputing environments either provide no I/O facilities, or serialize all I/O requests and thus limit application performan...

PIOUS is a parallel le system architecture for providing process groups access to permanent storage within a heterogeneous network computing environment. PIOUS supports parallel application development by providing coordinated access to paraale le objects with guaranteed consistency semantics and a dynamically-selectable fault tolerance level. For performance, PIOUS declusters les to exploit th...

In the tense religious climate of the late Renaissance (ca. 1550-1650), traditional charges of impiety directed against Aristotle carried new weight. Many turned to alternative philosophical authorities in the search for a truly pious philosophy. Another, "most pious" solution was to ground natural philosophy on a literal reading of the Bible, especially Genesis. I examine this kind of physics,...

In the Euthyphro, Socrates encounters Euthyphro outside the courts where both are enroute to trials pertaining to piety. Euthyphro is prosecuting his father for murder, while Socrates is on trial for engaging in impious acts. In the course of their conversation Socrates questions whether prosecuting one's own father is impious, especially after Euthyphro boldly claims his act is not (Plato, 200...
