Practical Time Travel of Multiprocessor Systems
… programmability is to enable back-and-forth time travel of multiprocessor execution. Such ability simplifies parallel code debugging, and is possible using a technique called Deterministic Replay of Execution. This thesis presents DeLorean, a novel hardware substrate for deterministic replay …

Three lessons in causality : what string theory has to say about naked singularities, time travel and horizon complementarity
… also discussed. Next, we turn to the issue of time travel. Many solutions of General Relativity appear to allow the possibility of time travel. This was initially a fascinating discovery, but geometries of this type violate causality, a basic physical law which is believed to be fundamental. …

The Objectiles Guide to Time Travel: Re-Envisioning Building Materials as Narrative-Collecting Object-Projectiles on a Trajectory Through Space-Time
… are objects on an adventure across space-time to collect as many uses as possible. Rather than remaining associated with one primary use, Objectiles are impressionable, bearing ambiguous traces of all the uses they encounter as they re-circulate. Through the aesthetic qualities that hint …

Travel Time Estimation on Arterial Streets
Estimation of real-time travel times on arterial streets has been a challenging task due to the intersection control delay as well as bottleneck delay from the downstream link. Therefore, few transportation professionals have conducted research at utilizing the dynamic flow methods to estimate …

Self-Distancing as a Persuasive Amplifier for Increasing Help-Seeking among People with Depression
… using both perspective-taking and mental time-travel self-distancing writing tasks have shown potential. However, a video that asked people to think, rather than write, about help-seeking from a distanced perspective failed to increase help-seeking outcomes. This dissertation tests a new …

Cross-species comparisons of the retrosplenial cortex in primates: Through time and neuropil space
Chronesthesia, or mental time travel (MTT), is the ability to be conscious of both past experiences and possible future scenarios. Behavioral studies have demonstrated that some non-human animals are capable of episodic-like memory, yet there exists no scientific consensus on the extent of memory …

Alternative solutions to 1960's single corridor ward design in hospitals: a case study based on nurses's perspectives
… activities in patient care. This study used a time travel method to evaluate the amount of time the nurses spent traveling between the nurses’ station, patient rooms, and other functional areas. Nurses’ perspectives concerning their physical environment and layout were also studied using a …

Walking the Tightrope: Selfhood and Speculative Fiction in Janelle Monáe’s The ArchAndroid
… ArchAndroid creates an auditory experience of time travel by varying the beat and musical style and through the use of specific production techniques. The accompanying video "Tightrope" delineates its titular metaphor through its music, dance, and visuals. These elements, as part of the central …

Real-Time Short-Term Travel Time Prediction
Real-time short-term travel time prediction is a critical component of the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and an important element of the Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS). Accurate and reliable travel time prediction enables both user and system controller to be well informed of …

Is It Time? Examining the Effects of Episodic Imagining on Reward Discounting
Mental time-travel affords us the ability to simulate hypothetical episodes that shape our decisions about the future, as documented on tests of intertemporal choice where personal cueing greatly reduces future reward discounting. Despite this robust finding, it is unclear whether this modulatory …

Cross Over and Duality. Murakami’s Integration of the Fantastical into the Ordinary
… An example of crossover can be the concept of time travel or the crossing into another dimension. On the other hand, duality deals with the concept of two or more identities being related to one single being. This essay explores the different types of crossovers and dualities within Haruki …

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Neural Activity During Human Episodic Memory Encoding and Retrieval
Throughout literary history, the ability to travel in time has been a source of wonder and amusement. Why this fascination with moving through time? One reason may be that people are especially attuned to the concept of time travel because we each possess our own personal mental time machine: …

Traffic prediction and navigation using historical and current information
… First, the data collecting system gathers real-time travel time data using a mobile sensor network system, CarTel. GPS sensor units having wireless connectivity were deployed on taxis running around the Boston area, and report their position and time information to the networked database system. …
