An approach to coordination of cooperating concurrent processes, each capable of error direction and recovery, is presented. Error detection, rollback, and retry in a process are specified by a well-structured language construct called recovery block. Recovery points of processes must be properly coordinated to prevent a disastrous avalanche of process rollbacks. The approach relies on an intelligent processor system (that runs processes) capable of establishing and discarding the recovery points of interacting processes in a well coordinated manner such that a process never makes two consecutive rollbacks without making a retry between the two, and every process rollback becomes a minimum-distance rollback. Following a discussion of the underlying philosophy of the author's approach, basic rules of reducing storage and time overhead in such a processor system are discussed. Examples are drawn from the systems in which processes communicate through monitors.

A testbed-based approach to the evaluation of fault-tolerant distributed computing schemes is discussed. The approach is based on experimental incorporation of system structuring and design techniques into real-time distributed computing testbeds centered around tightly coupled microcomputer networks. The effectiveness of this approach has been confirmed through some experiments conducted in the author's laboratory. Primary advantages of the testbed-based approach include the relatively high accuracy of the data obtained on timing and logical complexity as well as the relatively high degree of assurance that can be obtained on the practical effectiveness of the scheme evaluated. This paper discusses various design issues encountered in the course of establishing the basic microcomputer network testbed facilities and augmenting them to support some experiments conducted. The shortcomings of the testbeds that have been recognized are also discussed together with the desired extensions of the testbeds. Some of the desired extensions are beyond the state of the art in microcomputer network implementation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The use of tungsten halogen lamps and the deuterium lamp as the source of thermal and optical energies has been exploited to deposit thin films of Ta2O5 on Si and conducting substrates, The leakage current densities are as low as 10(-10) A/cm(2) for gate voltage under 5V. Photons in visible, ultraviolet, and vacuum ultraviolet (lambda < 800 nm) regions provide higher bulk and surface diffusion coefficients as well as reduced activation energy for the chemical process involved in the chemical vapor deposition process. The low thermal mass of the substrate provides limited reaction processing capability. The photochemical and photophysical processes allow the participating atoms and molecules to adjust their bond geometries and occupy sites which result in overall reduction of stress and strain energy and provide materials with overall low microscopic defects at low processing temperature and with high throughput. New experimental results of Al-Ta2O5-Si3N4-poly Si-Al structure are presented. The leakage current-voltage characteristics are better than those reported by other researchers.

Multidatabases integrate the data from preexisting, heterogeneous local databases into a distributed environment, and present global users with transparent methods to use the total information in the system. This chapter describes the taxonomy of global information-sharing systems, multidatabase issues, multidatabse design choices, analysis of existing multidatabase systems, and the position of multidatabase systems in the taxonomy. Multidatabase language systems have no constraints on system size, but the tradeoff for achieving this is a multiple-data-source user paradigm and a more complex user interface. Multidatabase issues, such as site autonomy, differences in data representation, and concurrency control are also discussed in the chapter. Site autonomy is a major strength of multidatabases, yet it is also a major constraint on the global system design. Differences in data representation are many and varied, and resolving these differences is a major concern of the global system design. Global updates are a major current restriction in many systems, and the focus of much current research. To make multidatabase systems more useful and efficient, some deficiencies in existing prototypes must be resolved before they can evolve into commercial products, such as global concurrency control, global security, maintenance and administration, and error control and recovery. Multidatabase systems should begin to have a larger impact in the information-processing world as more powerful systems to become generally available in the near future.

Using the finite-difference time-domain method, three-dimensional scattering patterns are computed for cells containing multiple organelles. The scattering cross section and average cosine of the scattering angle are computed for cells as a function of volume fraction of melanin granules and mitochondria, Results show that small organelles play a significant role in light scattering from cells, and the volume fraction of organelles affects both the total amount of scattered light and the angular distribution of scattered light.

Early detection of lung cancer significantly enhances treatment outcomes, yet current screening methods are limited by accessibility, sensitivity, and cost. This study introduces a bioelectronic sensing platform that integrates the highly sensitive locust olfactory system with a flexible dual-sided microelectrode array (MEA), for robust, noninvasive, and label-free detection of volatile lung cancer biomarkers. Using an innovative folding-annealing fabrication technique and PEDOT:PSS surface functionalization, we developed flexible, dual-sided MEAs with high electrode densities of 463, 687, and 766 channels/mm2 across prototypes, maintaining low impedance (within 4 × 104 Ω). These MEAs demonstrated mechanical flexibility and stability, enabling direct insertion into locust brain tissue without mechanical reinforcement and facilitating precise recording of neural activity in the antennal lobe triggered by lung cancer-related volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from low concentration (1 ppm). Advanced dimensionality reduction techniques applied to the electrophysiological recordings identified distinct neural response patterns to each VOC biomarker and the complex "scent" emitted from various cell lines. Using high-dimensional population neuronal response analysis with a leave-one-trial-out approach, the platform achieved a 100 % classification success rate for unknown VOCs. Additionally, varying concentrations (ppm-ppb) of individual VOC biomarkers were detected and classified with an accuracy of 86 %. The system was further tested for its ability to detect and classify human lung cancer cell lines based on the unique "scent" of cultured cells, including two non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and two small cell lung cancer (SCLC) types. Quantitative assessments demonstrated that the platform achieved a classification accuracy of 85 % across these cell lines. These results substantiate the platform's potential for enhancing clinical diagnostics through the accurate ident
