A new algorithm, the Horizontal and Vertical Algorithm, for
on-line detection of deadlocks in distributed computer systems, is
presented. Two protocols for implementing the algorithm are given.
The first protocol, the centralized protocol, is based on the
assumption that one site in the network acts as the controller for
global...
Purebred Yorkshire gilts with weights ranging from 70 to 105
kilograms were moved from a total-confinement rearing unit to a

collections from three areas in the Pacific Northwest.
The objective of this study was to obtain fundamental
knowledge on the biology of B. canadensis, especially
its distribution, abundance, and host species, as well
as its potential...
For the enrichment and enumeration of Vibrio fluvialis, a
broth medium was designed by modifying alkaline peptone (AP)
medium. This new V. fluvialis enrichment medium (FEM) was shown to
be more effective than AP medium in field samplings where a total
of 177 samples (estuarine waters and sediment, sewage, and...
