Abracadabra! Replication shutdown

Abracadabra, the relation between stress and rhythm

A cluster randomized control field trial of the ABRACADABRA web-based reading technology: replication and extension of basic findings

The present paper reports a cluster randomized control trial evaluation of teaching using ABRACADABRA (ABRA), an evidence-based and web-based literacy intervention (http://abralite.concordia.ca) with 107 kindergarten and 96 grade 1 children in 24 classes (12 intervention 12 control classes) from all 12 elementary schools in one school district in Canada. Children in the intervention condition r...

Seizures, Cerebral Shutdown, and SUDEP.

Several potential pathophysiologic phenomena, including "cerebral shutdown," are postulated to be responsible for SUDEP. Since the evidence for a seizure-related mechanism is strong, a poor understanding of the physiology of human seizure termination is a major handicap. However, rather than a failure of a single homeostatic mechanism, such as postictal arousal, it may be a "perfect storm" crea...

Avoiding Instability during Graceful Shutdown of OSPF

Many recent router architectures decouple the routing engine from the forwarding engine, so that packet forwarding can continue even when the routing process is not active. This opens up the possibility of using the forwarding capability of a router even when its routing process is down, thus avoiding the route flaps that normally occur when the routing process goes down. Unfortunately, current...

Curiosity's Fault Tolerant Wakeup and Shutdown Design

Curiosity spends roughly 70% of the day "sleeping", in order to recharge the batteries from the nuclear power source. The system is designed to ensure the Rover goes to sleep and wakes back up to continue science and engineering activities. Additionally, the design is robust to off-nominal situations that may need additional actions performed by both hardware and software to ensure the Rover ca...
