Region-based Program Specialization
Program specialization or partial evaluation is a proven program optimization technique dating back to the early seventies. One common flavor of program specialization is offline partial evaluation. It employs a program analysis to determine what operations can be reduced at specialization time. …

Open circuit: an editing specialization
This report outlines the creative work and development of Kyle Seaquist as a film editor during his time at UT Austin. By detailing the editing process of three MFA thesis films as well as examining a variety of extracurricular projects, the report explores the challenges of film editing and the …

Environmental Values and Technological Specialization
The study examined the effects of different applications of modern industrial technology on the strength of environmental values, and tested the occupation-centered alienation from technology hypothesis. The sample consisted of 300 workers employed with small machine-tool companies in western …

Sparse matrix-vector multiplication by specialization
Program specialization is the process of generating optimized programs based on available inputs. It is particularly applicable when some input data are used repeatedly while other input data vary. Specialization can be employed at compile-time as well as at run-time, depending on when the inputs …

Generalization and Specialization in Zero-Shot Learning
… capability to unseen classes and the specialization ability to extract discriminative features. This thesis investigates the two abilities to address ZSL and its variant, Generalized Zero-Shot Learning (GZSL), where testing images can come from both seen and unseen classes. To enhance …

Specialization without complexity in heterogeneous memory systems
… a rise in the use of parallelism and hardware specialization in computer system design. Across all compute domains, applications have increasingly relied on specialized devices such as GPUs, DSPs, FPGAs, etc., to execute tasks faster and more efficiently, but interfacing these diverse devices …

The Effects of Sport Specialization on Adolescent Athletes
… sports with as little risk as possible. Sport specialization has also seen a rise in numbers among adolescent athletes, as many athletes try to gain advantages by putting all training efforts towards one sport. The purpose of this synthesis is to review the literature on the effects of sport …

Antebellum Manufacturing Returns, Risks, and Patterns of Specialization
At the middle of the nineteenth century returns to investment in manufacturing exceeded those to investment in agriculture. This difference was significantly greater in the South. The South also had the lowest value of manufactures per capita, the smallest manufacturing facilities, and the greatest …

Specialization of Vision Representations with Personalized Synthetic Data
Modern vision models excel at general purpose downstream tasks. It is unclear, however, how they may be used for personalized vision tasks, which are both fine-grained and data-scarce. Recent works have successfully applied synthetic data to general-purpose representation learning, while advances …

PERSISTENT ACTIVITY DURING WORKING MEMORY: MATURATION AND CORTICAL SPECIALIZATION
Working memory is one of the most critical cognitive functions and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) has generally been recognized as the seat of working memory. Development of working memory ability through adolescence, accompanied by structural changes has been reported in human studies, …

SCALE, SPECIALIZATION AND PERFORMANCE: EVIDENCE FROM THE HOTEL INDUSTRY
I examine the impacts of specialization and of scale on property performance and chain performance of the hotel industry. I use a large sample of branded lodging companies in the United States from 2010 to 2014 for the analyses. For property performance, I investigate how a hotel company decides on …

The Effects That Sport Specialization has on Youth Athletes
Youth sport specialization is becoming more popular than ever. Many athletes, parents and coaches think that sport specialization is the best way to reach elite level status in a sport. However, athletes, parents and coaches don’t know all of the positive and negative effects of specialization in a …

Sport Specialization Status and Athlete Burnout, Engagement, and Motivation
Early sport specialization, in which athletes compete in one sport nearly year round at a young age, is common in today's athletic culture. Several national sport organizations advise against early specialization due to its potentially increasing the risk of burnout and maladaptive motivation …

Optimization by runtime specialization for sparse matrix-vector multiplication
Runtime specialization optimizes programs based on partial information available only at run time. It is applicable when some input data is used repeatedly while other input data varies. This technique has the potential of generating highly efficient codes. In this thesis we explore the potential …

Influences of Hemispheric Specialization and Interaction on Task Performance
The goal of the present research is to investigate the factors that influence the degree to which dividing information processing between the cerebral hemispheres improves performance. The research in this dissertation provides evidence that dividing processing between the cerebral hemispheres …

Neoblast specialization during regeneration of the planarian S. mediterranea
Planarians are well known for their ability to regenerate an entire animal from small tissue fragments. Planarian regeneration requires a population of dividing cells called neoblasts that are distributed throughout the body. Historically, neoblasts have been considered a homogeneous population of …
