Globally disruptive events show predictable timing patterns
Globally disruptive events include asteroid/comet impacts, large igneous provinces and glaciations, all of which have been considered as contributors to mass extinctions. Understanding the overall relationship between the timings of the largest extinctions and their potential proximal causes remains one of science's great unsolved mysteries. Cycles of about 60 million years in both fossil diver...
متن کاملDisruptive Democratization: Contentious Events and Liberalizing Outcomes Globally, 1990–2004
Does contentious collective action matter? Whereas most social movement literature has addressed this question in the US context for policy change outcomes, this paper takes a different approach by bringing the question to a global context and examines democratization as a structural outcome. Accordingly, we test several hypotheses about the ephemeral, positive, and negative influences of conte...
متن کاملInferences about predictable events.
If someone falls off of a 14th story roof, very predictably death will result. The conditions under which readers appear to infer such predictable outcomes were examined with three different retrieval paradigms: immediate recognition test, cued recall, and priming in word recognition. On immediate test, responses to a word representing the implicit outcome (e.g., dead) were slow, but on delayed...
متن کاملDeveloping Software with Predictable Timing Behavior
In critical real-time systems knowledge about the maximum execution times (MAXT) of tasks is of utmost importance. However, this knowledge is merely the rst step towards building functioning systems that de nitely meet their deadlines. Computing the MAXT of a task has to be an integral part of the application development and has to be directly incorporated into the implementation process. This ...
متن کاملZZ Building Timing Predictable Embedded Systems
A large class of embedded systems is distinguished from general purpose computing systems by the need to satisfy strict requirements on timing, often under constraints on available resources. Predictable system design is concerned with the challenge of building systems for which timing requirements can be guaranteed a priori. Perhaps paradoxically, this problem has become more difficult by the ...
