OPERATING SYSTEM CONCEPTS

Dhotre, I. (2009). Operating Systems. Technical Publications.
In his book title “Operating systems” Dhotre explains the designs and processes that determine the existence of deadlock. One of the solutions developed in this situation is to let the operator know of the existence of a deadlock and employ manual recovery methods. He continues to outline the automatic recovery methods. In general, the author has outlines two mechanisms for total recovery from deadlock. First, one or more processes are aborted to break the cycle of waiting. Secondly, the preemptive mechanism done on one or more of the deadlocked processes will release ...

The recent years have witnessed the evolution of the accounting discipline from simple accounting techniques to the present advanced accounting systems which have simplified accounting while at the same time increased efficiency in handling huge volumes of accounting information. Cost accounting, and in particular cost allocation systems have evolved tremendously over the past few decades, from the traditional costing methods to the most preferred cost allocation method, activity based costing. This paper explores the emergence of ABC system, while comparing traditional costing systems with ABC. The benefits of using ABC system, its evaluation and implementation will be explored.

The economists are concerned with the maximization of the society well being due to scarcity of resources and unlimited wants. The scarcity is the presence of limited resources and competition on the demand side (Peter 524). In this situation, the scarce resources are located to the most efficient business via a competitive mechanism because the focus of economics is to allocate resources in the most efficient manner. Similarly, the resource scarcity causes a large allocation of time and effort to appropriate competition.

Resources are scarce in the sense that their availability is limited in relation to the unlimited wants of human ...

Abstract

Despite the improvement of the living standards and the establishment of health care systems in the twentieth century, many investigations have highlighted continuous inequalities in industrialized regions. In most cases, some people from certain geographical regions are discriminated against while accessing health care services. The discrimination also takes the social class route, where people from high social classes can access better health care services than people from low classes do. Therefore, it is necessary to come up with health care systems that can help to bridge this gap. The creation of Southern Region Health System has shown concern to ...

This research paper focuses on emerging technologies that promote sustainable computing systems. According to Bhattacharya, Govindan & Sankar (2013), sustainable computing encompasses the design, manufacture, use and disposal of computers and its subsystems (monitors, networking devices, printers, communication devices and storage devices) efficiently without interfering with the environment. Contemporary computing systems such as HPC (High Performance Computing Clusters) and Data centers face the challenge of high cooling and power costs. Gupta, Mukherjee & Banerjee (2011) state that the high consumption of power is a concern because it impacts on the cost, environment, reliability and scalability of the computing systems. ...

Resource allocation refers to the way resources are to be utilized in any given organization to obtain maximum or rather optimum output. Baumol & Blinder, (2008) asserts that, according to the classical economists, scarce resources can be efficiently allocated to ...

Childhood abuse can occur as sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, but all forms of abuse can potentially cause anxiety, social function impairment, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although female children frequently experience more sexual abuse than male children, a meta-analysis on research papers in 22 countries found that the average prevalence of male sexual abuse is 7.9 percent (as cited in Hopton & Huta, 2012). Between 5 and 10 percent of children experience severe physical abuse, and 50 percent of them experience corporal punishment (Margolin & Vickerman, 2011). However, instances of childhood abuse are rarely reported, so only rough estimates are available.

Cognitive radio means an intelligent and adaptive radio that knows its environment. Cognitive radio technology is a solution used to enhance utilization of spectrum enabling the users that are not licensed to exploit in an opportunistic way. Unlicensed users are considered as temporary on the spectrum that is licensed, and once a licensed user reclaims it they are expected to vacate. As a result of licensed users reclaiming the spectrum, there are disruptions in both unlicensed and licensed communications that are always difficult to prevent. To address these problems, a spectrum handoff structure is proposed for cognitive technology to ...

People want to believe that no matter what happens outside of the administrative walls, the political system is solid.

Abstract

The modern mantra of corporate risk management is fast becoming “A risk is risk is a risk.” Large, multinational companies are no longer prepared to approach risk management on a single risk-by-risk basis. It makes no sense for a manager to accept a potential $30m loss in the organization’s currency-trading activities and simultaneously hedge against a $10m loss on a suburban office property. Risk managers now realize that any particular risk can have consequences for many seemingly unconnected parts of the business-losses in one part of the business might be offset by gains else where in the organization that result from that loss event. ...
