In 2013, C. Jiang introduced the fundamental notion of an Indian buffet game to study how game players make multiple concurrent selections under uncertain system states [6].
It is not difficult to conceive of such systems as including multiple, nested sub-systems.
Specifically, the authors frame their analyses within the conceptual context of a dynamic system comprising multiple, nested sub-systems.
It allows multiple concurrent users to model software system collaboratively.
They provide programming constructs which are enormously powerful if you're dealing with vast quantities of data, or multiple concurrent threads and processes, or distributed systems.
According to systems theory, any given system is characterised by continual adaptation and change involving multiple sub-systems.
Advances in microscope and camera design, fluorescent dye technology, the development of fluorescent proteins as well as the advent of inexpensive powerful computers, has led to the feasibility of simultaneous sub micron resolution and quantitation of multiple concurrent molecular markers for both protein and DNA.
To achieve efficient collaborative software development in VRCASE, we have proposed and implemented a Fine-grained locking and notification mechanism together with visual indicators to maintain system consistency among multiple concurrent users.
A high prevalence of STIs, early age at first sexual experience, and the culturally accepted practice among some sub-groups to have multiple, concurrent partners are thought to substantially increase HIV transmission risk [ 16].
Moreover, qualitative and quantitative studies, across sub-Saharan Africa, have demonstrated multiple concurrent heterosexual partnerships and little or no condom use within transactional sexual partnerships (5, 7, 13, 14, 18, 24, 26).
This is consistent with a multiple-hit hypothesis predicting that multiple concurrent insults occurring at different target sites within a system (here nigrostriatal dopamine) may constrict the range and flexibility of compensatory mechanisms, thereby compromising the integrity and viability of the system.
