// definition defined below. For every G4VPhysicalVolume instance, there is
// a corresponding G4PVData instance. All G4PVData instances are organized
// by the class G4PVManager as an array.
// The field "int instanceID" is added to the class G4VPhysicalVolume.
// The value of this field in each G4VPhysicalVolume instance is the subscript
// of the corresponding G4PVData instance.
// In order to use the class G4PVManager, we add a static member in the class
// G4VPhysicalVolume as follows: "static G4PVManager subInstanceManager;".
// For the master thread, the array for G4PVData instances grows dynamically
// along with G4VPhysicalVolume instances are created. For each worker thread,
// it copies the array of G4PVData instances from the master thread.           
// In addition, it invokes a method similiar to the constructor explicitly
// to achieve the partial effect for each instance in the array.
