  2. Social exchange theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_exchange_theory

    An example of this is the convoy model of support, this model uses concentric circles to describe relationships around an individual with the strongest relationships in the closet circle. As a person ages, these relationships form a convoy that moves along with the person and exchanges in support and assistance through different circumstances ...

  3. Maekawa's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maekawa's_Algorithm

    Maekawa's algorithm is an algorithm for mutual exclusion on a distributed system. The basis of this algorithm is a quorum -like approach where any one site needs only to seek permissions from a subset of other sites.

    The rule of mutual exclusion in molecular spectroscopy relates the observation of molecular vibrations to molecular symmetry. It states that no normal modes can be both Infrared and Raman active in a molecule that possesses a center of symmetry .

    Social integration is focused on the need to move toward a safe, stable and just society by mending conditions of social conflict, social disintegration, social exclusion, social fragmentation, exclusion and polarization, and by expanding and strengthening conditions of social integration towards peaceful social relations of coexistence ...

  7. Peterson's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peterson's_algorithm

    Peterson's algorithm (or Peterson's solution) is a concurrent programming algorithm for mutual exclusion that allows two or more processes to share a single-use resource without conflict, using only shared memory for communication. It was formulated by Gary L. Peterson in 1981. [1]

  8. Suzuki–Kasami algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki–Kasami_algorithm

    The Suzuki–Kasami algorithm [1] is a token-based algorithm for achieving mutual exclusion in distributed systems. The process holding the token is the only process able to enter its critical section .

    They also encourage the establishment of workers' self-management, which they propose could be supported through the issuance of mutual credit by mutual banks, with the aim of creating a federal society. Mutualism has its roots in the utopian socialism of Robert Owen and Charles Fourier.
