Failure to receive post-natal care within first week of delivery causes a 3% increase in the possibility of Acute Respiratory Infection in children under five. Mothers with unpaid maternity leave put their children at a risk of 3.9% increase in the p...
I have so many friends who run through niggles that then become injuries. And then they run through those because in their minds, they can't justify rest. Especially with the whole "no days off", I'm ...
Return Oriented Programming (ROP) is a technique by which an attacker can induce arbitrary behavior inside a vulnerable program without injecting a malicious code. The continues failure of the currently deployed defenses against ROP has made it again...
conditions related to the crash. Following the crash, Transport Minister Kostas Karamanlis resigned, taking responsibility for the crash and for his failure
failure, the person-praised students displayed less task persistence, task enjoyment, and displayed worse task performance than those praised for effort. These
We study the causal effect of winning an Oscar Award on an actor or actress's survival. Does the increase in social rank from a performer winning an Oscar increase the performer's life expectancy? Previous studies of this issue have suffered from hea...
Machine learning (ML) models can fail in unexpected ways in the real world, but not all model failures are equal. With finite time and resources, ML practitioners are forced to prioritize their model debugging and improvement efforts. Through intervi...
liver function tests. The recommended maximum daily dose for an adult is three to four grams. Higher doses may lead to toxicity, including liver failure. Paracetamol
heart failure. At low doses, it does not appear to increase the risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack); however, at higher doses it may. Ibuprofen can
To me it represents and highlights organizational failure at every level: Coaching - instead of letting McCain ease back in after two major injuries, Nurse threw him out there, watched him struggle, ...
Its hard to believe as I write this, it has been almost a decade since "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "The Colbert Report" went of the air. For a decade, I gladly allowed these two legendary co...
Collecting data about the sequences of function calls executed by an application while running in the field can be useful to a number of applications, including failure reproduction, profiling, and debugging. Unfortunately, collecting data from the f...
We propose a protocol to transmit three quantum states crossly in a butterfly network with prior entanglement, in the form of GHZ states, between three senders. The proposed protocol requires only one qubit transmission or two classical bits transmis...
For robots navigating using only a camera, illumination changes in indoor environments can cause re-localization failures during autonomous navigation. In this paper, we present a multi-session visual SLAM approach to create a map made of multiple va...
The goal of this paper is to provide a theory linear regression based entirely on approximations. It will be argued that the standard linear regression model based theory whether frequentist or Bayesian has failed and that this failure is due to an '...
Ring Theory states that a ring is an algebraic structure where two binary operations can be performed among the elements addition and multiplication. Binarization is a method of image processing where values within pixels are reduced to a scale from...
Complex systems fail. I argue that failures can be a blueprint characterizing living organisms and biological intelligence, a control mechanism to increase complexity in evolutionary simulations, and an alternative to classical fitness optimization....
Splitting, also called binary thinking, dichotomous thinking, black-and-white thinking, all-or-nothing thinking, or thinking in extremes, is the failure
