...Windows Memory Management, Process Management, File Management, Security Jose Rodriguez POS/355 July 25, 2015 Yevgeniy Tovshteyn Windows Memory Management The Widows 32-bit OS adds a virtual memory system, which is based on a flat 32-bit address space. The 32-bits of address space converts into the 4GB of virtual memory. The 4GB is the amount that can be accessed by a process. The Windows operating system has Kernel-mode and User-mode memory ("Memory Management 101", 2007). If you exceed the memory limit you will get an "out of virtual memory" error and this would show even though you have a lot of physical memory. The Kernel space is the system space portion of the address space in the OS and kernel-mode drivers reside. This is where only the kernel-mode can access this space. The User-mode can only access data that is within their own process ("Need More Memory? Getting Started With Windows Memory Management", n.d.). This means that the User-mode threads cannot have access to data from another process space directly and it's not able to access the system space directly. The interesting thing about the kernel-mode drivers is that they are trusted by the OS and is able to access both the kernel and user space ("Memory Management 101", 2007). Windows Process Management In process management each process provides a measure to execute a program. The process management has an independent virtual address space that contains both data and code that are protected. Each process...

...Construction Management and Economics (May 2004) 22, 347–356 The development of the construction legal system in China LAM YOW THIM and CHEN ZONGGUI School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Received 2 December 2002; accepted 29 May 2003 China has been developing at an amazing speed since it carried out reform and open-door policy in 1978. Construction industry is playing a leading role in the rapid Chinese economic development. At the same time, China has also worked hard to encourage overseas investors to expand their investment in the construction industry. With its development over the years, China has established a legal system for governing construction activities. To participate in such a major market in the world, it is important to understand the legal system governing it and the impact of China’s joining the World Trade Organization. The Chinese construction laws and practice are still very different from the international norm. If foreign participants are to make a success out of doing business in China, they must understand the Chinese way of life. Particularly, they must prepare to adapt to an environment where new rules are created as circumstances and situations change. Keywords: Construction laws, legal system, construction industry, China, foreign investment, foreign designers and contractors, World Trade Organization (WTO) Introduction China has been developing at an amazing speed since it carried out...

...benefits for intermediate- and high-risk senior citizens. Methods: All elderly members of a large health maintenance organization were included in each of 6 consecutive study cohorts. Subjects were grouped according to risk status: high risk (having heart or lung disease), intermediate risk (having diabetes, renal disease, stroke and/or dementia, or rheumatologic disease), and low risk. Outcomes were compared between vaccinated and unvaccinated subjects after controlling for baseline demographic and health characteristics. Results: There were more than 20 000 subjects in each pitalizations (P .001), a 32% decrease in hospitalizations for all respiratory conditions (P .001), and a 27% decrease in hospitalizations for congestive heart failure (P .001). Immunization was also associated with a 50% reduction in all-cause mortality (P .001). Within the risk subgroups, vaccine effectiveness was 29%, 32%, and 49% for high-, intermediate-, and low-risk senior citizens for reducing hospitalizations for pneumonia and influenza (for high and low risk, P .002; for intermediate risk, P = .11). Effectiveness was 19%, 39%, and 33% (for each, P .008), respectively, for reducing hospitalizations for all respiratory conditions and 49%, 64%, and 55% for...

...Managing Supplier Integration into Product Development: A Literature Review and Conceptual Model Finn Wynstra and Ferrie van Echtelt Eindhoven Centre for Innovation Studies/Institute for Purchasing & Supply Development, Eindhoven University of Technology, PO Box 513 - 5600 MB Eindhoven, Netherlands Tel. +31 40 2473841, Fax +31 40 2465949, j.y.f.wynstra@tm.tue.nl, f.e.a.v.echtelt@tm.tue.nl Abstract This paper presents a critical literature review concerning the effects of involving suppliers in product development, the critical processes underlying the management of this involvement and the potential driving and enabling factors for managing supplier involvement in product development. Together they constitute the building blocks for a ‘input-throughput-output’ model that helps in understanding the crucial elements of how to manage supplier involvement in product development. This model draws on our previous work in this area, but focuses more clearly on the ‘inputs’ and ‘outputs’ of managing supplier involvement. Introduction to managing supplier integration in product development Literature on product innovation has been pervasively trying to distil the key ingredients for company success. Many of the internal and external actors that are involved in product development - and the interfaces between them - have been subjects of research. Especially the interface between R&D on the one side and marketing and customers on the other side has been investigated (Souder and Chakrabarti...
