To Reach the Unreachable Stars: Reexamining the Shared Arthurian Vision of C. S. Lewis's Science Fiction Trilogy and Raymond Chandler's Marlowe Novels
<p>Although Raymond Chandler and C. S. Lewis seem to be a rather strange pairing, the ways in which they both borrow from Arthurian literature and use the myth to speak to their cultural moment are strikingly similar. Following T. S. Eliot’s use of the Grail quest in <em>The Waste Land</em> (which …

Improving Branch Coverage in RTL Circuits with Signal Domain Analysis and Restrictive Symbolic Execution
… intelligent algorithms to reach them. Since unreachable branches cannot be reached by any test sequence, we propose a method to deduce unreachability of a branch by looking for the possible values which a signal can take in an RTL code without explicit unrolling of the design. To the best of …

Combining Data-driven and Theory-guided Models in Ensemble Data Assimilation
… providing us with some special sauce that is unreachable by our current theories. This dissertation aims to provide a way in which both the accuracy of theory-guided models, and the computational efficiency of data-driven models can be combined. This combination of theory-guided and …

Deep-web search engine ranking algorithms
… web contains a large collection of data that are unreachable by link-based search engines. A study conducted at University of California, Berkeley estimated that the deep web consists of around 91,000 terabytes of data, whereas the surface web is only about 167 terabytes. To access this content, …

Design of an improved electronics platform for the EyeRing wearable device
… features allow the pursual of previously unreachable application spaces. In addition, the smaller form factor increases usability and device acceptance. The new prototype improves power consumption by X, volume by Y, and throughput by Z. Video input is now available, etc.

Identifying customer needs from user-generated content
… UGC identifies additional customer needs, unreachable by the interview-based approach. Our approach improves efficiency of manual review in terms of a number of unique customer needs per unit effort.

Survival Tips For A Parallel Universe
… that ultimately end in the unknowable, the unreachable, or failure. The surrounding poems further explore the nuance of the unknowable—through language both lyrical and plain-spoken—questioning reality and perception, specifically in their relation to memory, love, and desire. Likewise, the …

Besting the tract home : a software-based bricolage approach to affordable custom housing
… a one size-fits-all approach, but has remained unreachable for the vast majority of home buyers (or at the very least not worth it) due to the price/time/hassle disadvantage of its inefficient production systems. In attempting to make customized housing competitive with the tract home on a …

Shelterskinspeed : last bastion for the reclusive brooding man
… millennium. His world is both far -reaching and unreachable. Technological transmission has begun to collapse global distance and scale, creating alternative and deceptive work-home relationships. The middle ground of suburban America, created mostly by the automobility of the common worker, is …

Topological analysis of singularity loci for serial and parallel manipulators
… allowed by the constraints, but nevertheless are unreachable by any feasible path. The present work proposes a numerical procedure based upon Morse theory, an important branch of differential topology. Such procedure counts and identify the singularity-free regions that are cut by the singularity …
