Dropout from higher education: A theoretical synthesis of recent research
- Review of Educational Research
, 1975
"... Despite the very extensive literature on dropout from higher education, much remains unknown about the nature of the dropout process. In large measure, the failure of past research to delineate more clearly the multiple characteristics of dropout can be traced to two major shortcomings; namely, inad ..."

A survey of peer-to-peer content distribution technologies
- ACM Computing Surveys
, 2004
"... Distributed computer architectures labeled “peer-to-peer ” are designed for the sharing of computer resources (content, storage, CPU cycles) by direct exchange, rather than requiring the intermediation or support of a centralized server or authority. Peer-to-peer architectures are characterized by t ..."

by their ability to adapt to failures and accommodate transient populations of nodes while maintaining acceptable connectivity and performance. Content distribution is an important peer-to-peer application on the Internet that has received considerable research attention. Content distribution applications
Analysis of Failures Characteristics in the UNINETT IP Backbone Network
"... Abstract—Core backbone networks must be designed to guarantee high levels of availability. Any interruption in the services that they provide may have massive consequences. For this reason there is a huge interest in developing methods able to keep the network robustness in the desired level. For th ..."

to take more realistic assumptions. Based on failure logs provided by UNINETT we analyze availability levels and failure intensities in routers and links. We show that links may be classified in three groups with different properties. Additionally we observe that some links have similar dependability
Strength and failure characteristics of Jurassic Red-Bed sandstone

Markov chain monte carlo convergence diagnostics
- JASA
, 1996
"... A critical issue for users of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods in applications is how to determine when it is safe to stop sampling and use the samples to estimate characteristics of the distribution of interest. Research into methods of computing theoretical convergence bounds holds promise ..."

Why faces are and are not special: An effect of expertise
- Journal of Experimental Psychology: General
, 1986
"... Recognition memory for faces is hampered much more by inverted presentation than is memory for any other material so far examined. The present study demonstrates that faces are not unique with regard to this vulnerability to inversion. The experiments also attempt to isolate the source of the invers ..."

influenced by their ori-entation. Although inverted photographs of faces remain iden-tifiable, they lose expressive characteristics and become difficult or impossible to categorize in terms of age, mood, and attrac-tiveness. Failure to recognize familiar individuals in photographs viewed upside down is a
Are Disks the Dominant Contributor for Storage Failures? A Comprehensive Study of Storage Subsystem Failure Characteristics
"... Building reliable storage systems becomes increasingly challenging as the complexity of modern storage systems continues to grow. Understanding storage failure characteristics is crucially important for designing and building a reliable storage system. While several recent studies have been conducte ..."

Emotional processing of fear: Exposure to corrective information
- Psychological Bulletin
, 1986
"... In this article we propose mechanisms that govern the processing of emotional information, particularly those involved in fear eduction. Emotions are viewed as represented by information structures in memory, and anxiety is thought to occur when an information structure that serves as program to esc ..."

information must be integrated for emotional processing of a fear structure. The elements of such a structure are vi wed as cognitive representations of the stimulus characteristic of the fear situation, the individual's responses in it, and aspects of its meaning for the individual.

Beyond Availability: Towards a Deeper Understanding of Machine Failure Characteristics in Large Distributed Systems
- IN PROC. OF USENIX WORKSHOP ON REAL, LARGE DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS (WORLDS
, 2004
"... Although many previous research efforts have investigated machine failure characteristics in distributed systems, availability research has reached a point where properties beyond these initial findings become important. In this paper, we analyze traces from three large distributed systems to answer ..."
