To lock or not to lock? Mexico case [PDF]
History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences, 2021 In this paper, we analyze some of the policies implemented by Mexico, a country that has not pursued a total lockdown, although it has implemented different partial confinement policies. Such approach to the confinement has been criticized by some authors as morally inappropriate.

Proceedings of the 27th ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming, 2022 This paper presents a new and practical approach to lock-free locks based on helping, which allows the user to write code using fine-grained locks, but run it in a lock-free manner. Although lock-free locks have been suggested in the past, they are widely viewed as impractical, have some key limitations, and, as far as we know, have never been ...

Lock-in vs. Institutional Blockage: Lost in Translation [PDF]
AlterEconomics, 2023 In this article, we explore a well-known concept that explains how institutions can become deeply ingrained in a community, so that it becomes difficult to remove, even if most people consider them ineffective. This phenomenon can occur when institutions

Neonicotinoids in global agriculture: evidence for a new pesticide treadmill?
Ecology and Society, 2020 Overreliance on synthetic insecticides in global agriculture is the outcome of a "pesticide treadmill," in which insecticide-induced pest resistance development and the depletion of beneficial insect populations aggravate farmers' pesticide dependencies.

Lock-in: origination and significance within infrastructure systems
Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability, 2023 Infrastructure systems have legacies that continue to define their priorities, goals, flexibility, and ability to make sense of their environments. These legacies may or may not align with future needs, but regardless of alignment, they may restrict ...

Study on Vortex-Induced Vibration Predictions for Ship Rudders
한국해양공학회지, 2020 As regulations concerning ship vibration and noise are becoming stricter, considerable attention is being drawn to prediction technologies for ship vibration and noise. In particular, the resonance and lock-in phenomena caused by vortex-induced vibration

Injection‐locked oscillator lock detector [PDF]
Electronics Letters, 2016 A simple circuit that is able to indicate if an injection‐locked oscillator is in the locked condition by providing a ‘high’ or ‘low’ output is presented. The detector is compatible with most injection‐locked oscillators as all that is required is access to the low‐frequency bias circuit, with no direct access needed to the RF/microwave signals.
