Towards a transparency-based, value-sensitive design solution for bias in self-driving cars: An ethical violation assessment and risk analysis framework on consumer-held values
… (AI), particularly, self-driving cars (SDCs), has attracted significant investments and can potentially contribute to humanity’s flourishing. However, before widespread adoption, it is important to address ethical violations such as bias in AI, highlighted by many real-world cases of …

Structural and functional studies of sodium/dicarboxylate cotransporters
… of NaDC1, sodium/dicarboxylate symporter (SdcS) from Staphylococcus aureus was used. The eukaryotic transporter could not be used due to experimental difficulties in studying accessibility of the transporter from inside the cell. Previous studies indicate that rbNaDC1 contains structurally, …

Developmental Malformations in Zebrafish Caused by Exposure to Environmental Pollutants
… identified 38 skeletal disruptor compounds (SDCs) producing bone and craniofacial cartilage malformations in zebrafish. We used ToxCast in vitro data and RT-qPCR to predict that these compounds affect vitamin D metabolism and dopamine transporters resulting skeletal malformations. …

Preserving application reliability on unreliable hardware
… and produce Silent Data Corruptions (or SDCs). Eliminating or significantly lowering the user-visible SDC rate is crucial for software-driven reliability solutions to become practically successful. The goal of this thesis, therefore, is to provide programmers and system designers with …

Corporate social responsibility in a Saudi Arabian context : social development centres as a bridge between the private sector and community needs
… where government-run Social Development Centres (SDCs) could play a key role. The research revealed that the concept of CSR was often mixed with other practices of charity and public relations. However, there was clear evidence that the situation is not as simple as suggested and that a deeper …

Optimizing Data Layouts for Evolving Cloud Table Storage
… we describe Self-Organizing Data Containers (SDCs), a practical table storage layer for the cloud that incrementally reorganizes complex data layouts based on changes in data and workload distributions.

Mitigation of failures in high performance computing via runtime techniques
… (SDC) are likely to occur more frequently. SDCs do not inhibit execution, but may silently lead to incorrect results. In this thesis, we leverage runtime system and compiler techniques to mitigate a significant fraction of failures automatically with low overhead. The main goals of various …

Developments in long distance commuting to London
… involved in this type of movement were formerly SDCs, who have chosen to retain rural residence and commute long distance to employment in London. This was contra to the conventional concept of LDC. LDCs are therefore far more mobile than was previously considered and it is these factors (not …

Learning to understand spatial language for robotic navigation and mobile manipulation
… environment. By extracting a flat sequence of SDCs, we are able to ground the language by using a probabilistic graphical model that is factored into three key components. First, a landmark component grounds novel noun phrases such as "'the computers" in the perceptual frame of the robot by …

The impact of strategic decisions on construction client satisfaction: an assessment framework
… modelling techniques. Analyses revealed SDCs including Design Approach, Procurement and Implementation predict better the outcomes of service quality and hence higher levels of client satisfaction. Service delivery and communications with clients have a positively significant correlation …

Strategic motivations and performance determinants of the UK International Joint Ventures (IJVs) in China and India: A dual parent perspective
… between strategic dynamic capabilities (SDCs) and operational capabilities (OCs) To collect data, questionnaire surveys were sent to the UK MNEs and the partner parent firms in China and India, as well as to their IJVs. A sample of 40 UK parents’ and 35 Chinese and Indian parents’ …

Ensuring reliable and secure deployment of emergent workloads on modern microprocessors
… suggest that one root cause of these SDCs may be small delay faults (SDFs) induced by marginal defects. While microarchitectural mitigations to SDFs are known, placing them on the entire chip is prohibitively expensive. This thesis presents DelayAVF, a new metric to quantify the …

Detecting and Recovering from In-Core Hardware Faults Through Software Anomaly Treatment
… are classified as Silent Data Corruptions, or SDCs). When attempting to recover the detected faults, we show that handling I/O is important for fault recovery. With our proposed low-cost hardware for output buffering, we show that over 94% of the detected faults are recoverable with low …
