Hit-and-Runs: A Memoir
… memoir essays connected by the theme of hit-and-runs – i.e., random life encounters in which people share bits of themselves and leave subsequent lasting impressions. Resonating with themes of identity and belonging, overcoming obstacles and taking risks, the chronological throughline visits …

Learning Program Specifications from Sample Runs
… are discovered from observing a program's sample runs in terms of either program execution paths or input-output values, and automatically verified through the use of expressive refinement type systems.</p> <p>Our approach is realized as a series of inductive synthesis frameworks, which use …

Provably good race detection that runs in parallel
… T[infinity], the serial SP-Maintenance algorithm runs in O(T1) time. The parallel algorithm executes in the nearly optimal O(T1/P + PT[infinity]) time, when run on P processors and using an efficient scheduler. These SP-maintenance algorithms can be incorporated into race detectors to get a …

System Support for Improving Software Dependability During Production Runs
… improve software dependability during production runs by addressing software bugs at multiple levels with support from the hardware, OS, and runtime.

Bayesian Uncertainty Quantification while Leveraging Multiple Computer Model Runs
… information from a collection of computer model runs (e.g., historical forecast and observation pairs for tropical cyclone precipitation totals) through a Bayesian hierarchical framework. This framework allows us to combine information and account for the spatial correlation within and across …

The performance of orthogonal arrays with adjoined or unavailable runs
… factorial designs by adjoining additional runs to an OA, or by removing runs from an OA, when the number of runs available for the experiment is only slightly larger or smaller than the number in the OA. In this thesis we examine the performance of OA plus p runs designs and OA minus t runs …

Did Critical Audit Matter Dry Runs Influence Management’s Accounting Behavior?
… in critical audit matter (CAM) reporting ‘dry runs’ to simulate the determination, disclosure, and communication of CAMs in the years preceding the standard’s effective date. This study investigates whether CAM dry runs resulted in changes in management’s accounting decisions before the CAM …

Probabilidades de duração de seca empregando a Teoria de Runs
The univariate and bivariate structural analysis was made considering monthly an yearly time intervals of four runoffs series and two rainfalls series. A log normal three distribution was adjusted to each independent component of hydrologic series available where the time interval was considered to …

Statistical process control with special reference to multivariable processes and short runs
The quest for control and the subsequent pursuit of continuous quality improvement in the manufacturing sector, due to increasingly keen competition, has stimulated interest in statistical process control (SPC). Whilst traditional SPC techniques are well suited to the mass production industries, …

Nondeterminator-3 : a provably good data-race detector that runs in parallel
… detector, called the Nondeterminator-3, which runs efficiently in parallel. A data race occurs in a multithreaded program when two logically parallel threads access the same location while holding no common locks and at least one of the accesses is a write. The Nondeterminator-3 checks for data …

"The thick dark current runs": As I Lay Dying -- A Multi-Theoretical Approach
This dissertation focuses on one of the greatest, yet most problematic, novels in William Faulkner's canon. As I Lay Dying, Faulkner's self-proclaimed "tour de force," is a multilayered, multi-voiced text that leaves many critics wondering how to approach it, which has led to there being only a …

A Trickle Runs Through It: An Environmental History of the Santa Fe River, New Mexico
<p>Over the past four-hundred years in northern New Mexico, the Santa Fe River's evolution from clear mountain stream to dewatered urban ditch is closely tied to basin physiography and landscape processes, governmental and demographic changes, and the conflicting ideologies dividing its finite …

Uncovering novel genes causing isolated gonadotropin releasing hormone deficiency using runs of homozygosity in outbred families
… remained. After pruning, 206,012 SNPs remained. Runs of Homozygosity (ROH) were found and a burden analysis was performed. Areas of known IGD genes, Expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTLs) of known genes and novel regions predicted to be associated with IGD were explored. RESULTS: While there …
