20090006627 | ACCESSING SHARED RESOURCES WITH IMPROVED REQUEST PEAK MANAGEMENT - A solution is provided for accessing a shared resource in a data processing system (such as a server of a DAM application) by a plurality of exploiter entities (such as clients). A corresponding method starts with the step of monitoring an activity of each enabled entity being granted an access to the shared resource. The access granted to each enabled entity is released in response to the reaching of a first threshold (such as a time-out period) by an inactivity indicator, which is indicative of the non-activity of the enabled entity (such as an idle time). The method continues by detecting a critical condition of the shared resource (such as after reaching a maximum number of concurrent accesses). The access granted to an eligible enabled entity (or more) is released in response to the critical condition; the inactivity indicator of each eligible enabled entity reaches a second threshold preceding the first threshold (such as a grant period lower than the time-out period). | 01-01-2009 |
20090077248 | BALANCING ACCESS TO SHARED RESOURCES - Methods, systems, and computer program products for accessing a shared resource in a data processing system by a plurality of clients are disclosed. In one example, a privilege limit for a privileged use of the shared resource is associated a with each client. A use indicator is measured for each client, which relates to use of the shared resource by the respective client. When a critical condition of the shared resource is detected, the access granted to at least one client is released. Access may then be granted to another client. | 03-19-2009 |

20140086838 | IDENTIFICATION OF A NEW MOLECULAR FACTOR FOR EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF UROTHELIAL CARCINOMA OF THE BLADDER - The identification is disclosed of a new molecular factor for the early diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. HtrA1 is a molecule that is produced mainly by the urothelium of the bladder, both in physiological and inflammatory pathologies, such as cystitis, whereas it is absent in the urothelial layer of the neoplastic bladder mucosa, regardless of cancer grade and level. By means of Western Blotting two forms of HtrA1 were identified, both in bladder tissue and urine, the native 50 kDa form and the autocatalytic 38 kDa form. The 38 kDa form is significantly underexpressed in tumoral tissues compared with normal tissues and concentration of the 50 kDa form in urine is significantly higher in patients affected by bladder cancer compared to healthy subjects and subjects with cystitis. Therefore, the evaluation of tissutal and urinary HtrA1 levels can be a specific marker of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. | 03-27-2014 |
