DISTRIBUTED COMMITMENT AND RECOVERY: TWO PHASE COMMIT ABSTRACT A formal model for atomic commit protocols for a distrib­uted database system is introduced. The model is used to prove existence results about resilient protocols for site failures that do not parti­tion the network and then for partitioned networks. For site failures, a pessimistic recovery technique, called …

Depletion of stratospheric ozone ABSTRACT Depletion of stratospheric ozone emerged as a political concern in the early 1970s in the United States in the debate over the devel­opment of a commercial fleet of supersonic transports.
