Management Of Interdependent Data: Specifying Dependency And Consistency Requirements, Amit P. Sheth, Marek Rusinkiewicz
Management Of Interdependent Data: Specifying Dependency And Consistency Requirements, Amit P. Sheth, Marek Rusinkiewicz
Kno.e.sis Publications
Multiple databases that serve the needs of various application systems are considered. One of the significant problems in managing these databases is to maintain the related data items consistent to the required degree. This problem is frequently referred to as `redundant data management'. Since the term `redundancy' tends to imply that the data is unwanted or superfluous, the authors use the more general term `management of interdependent data'. Some preliminary ideas in this area are discussed. The problem of managing interdependent data is characterized, and some important types of interdatabase dependency are identified.
Measurement Of The C+ Decay-Asymmetry Parameter, Avery, P.; Et Al., M. Thulasidas
Measurement Of The C+ Decay-Asymmetry Parameter, Avery, P.; Et Al., M. Thulasidas
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We report a measurement of polarization in the two-body decay c+, in nonresonant e+e- interactions from data taken with the CLEO detector. Using these data we have determined the parity-violating asymmetry decay parameter c to be -1.0-0.0+0.4. We see no evidence for significant c+ polarization.

Pipelining Data Compression Algorithms, R. L. Bailey, R. Mukkamala
Pipelining Data Compression Algorithms, R. L. Bailey, R. Mukkamala
Computer Science Faculty Publications
Many different data compression techniques currently exist. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Combining (pipelining) multiple data compression techniques could achieve better compression rates than is possible with either technique individually. This paper proposes a pipelining technique and investigates the characteristics of two example pipelining algorithms. Their performance is compared with other well-known compression techniques.
Efficient Schemes To Evaluate Transaction Performance In Distributed Database Systems, R. Mukkamala, S. C. Bruell
Efficient Schemes To Evaluate Transaction Performance In Distributed Database Systems, R. Mukkamala, S. C. Bruell
Computer Science Faculty Publications
Database designers and researchers often need efficient schemes to evaluate transaction performance. In this paper, we chose two important performance measures: the average number of nodes accessed and the average number of data items accessed per node by a transaction in a distributed database system. We derive analytical expressions to evaluate these metrics. For general applicability, we consider partially replicated distributed database systems. Our first set of analytic results are closed-form expressions for these two measures. These are based on some fairly restrictive simplifying assumptions. When these assumptions are relaxed, no closed-form expressions exist for these averages. Hence, we develop …

Observation Of Iv(4=S) Decays Into Non-=Bba Final States Containing I Mesons, Alexander, J.; Et Al., M. Thulasidas
Observation Of Iv(4=S) Decays Into Non-=Bba Final States Containing I Mesons, Alexander, J.; Et Al., M. Thulasidas
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We report on the observation of ; mesons from T(4S) decays which are too energetic to come from 8 mesons. These events provide evidence for non-88 decays of the T (4S). The measured rate is B(T(4S)+fX)=0.22•0.06•0.041 for ; momentum above 2 GeV/c.
Exclusive And Inclusive Decays Of B Mesons Into Ds Mesons, D. Bortoletto, Manoj Thulasidas
Exclusive And Inclusive Decays Of B Mesons Into Ds Mesons, D. Bortoletto, Manoj Thulasidas
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We have studied the production of Ds mesons in the decays of B mesons at the Υ(4S) resonance. We report on the first observation of exclusive B-meson decays B->Ds−D*+, B→Ds−D+, and B→Ds−D0. We also present a new measurement of the branching ratio and the momentum spectrum for the inclusive decay B→DsX.
