This past summer, on August 19, 2013, Professor Grace Wales Shugar passed away in Warsaw. Although Canadian (born on May 10, 1918 in Montreal), she spent almost her entire research career in Poland, where she lived from 1952. She was founder and leader of the Warsaw School of Developmental Psycholinguistics, and lectured at many universities in different countries. She was invited to deliver a ...

[1] Seasonal variability in ocean bottom pressure pb is analyzed using GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) data products and an optimized model solution obtained by fitting most available ocean data in a leastsquares sense. The annual cycle in the spatial mean is a substantial part of the observed seasonal pb variability; net freshwater input and atmospheric pressure effects are bot...

Throughout the past decade, the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) has given an unprecedented view on global variations in terrestrial water storage. While an increasing number of case studies have provided a rich overview on regional analyses, a global assessment on the dominant features of GRACE variability is still lacking. To address this, we survey key features of temporal var...

In late-age silicon, soft errors become an issue even for low-margin products. Since classical hardening techniques are associated with costs which may not be acceptable for such ICs, selective hardening which targets only a subset of all possible soft errors has been suggested. We propose a soft error selection method based on severity of an error’s impact on system behavior. Some soft errors ...

Before handing out my midterm exam the Thursday before Spring Break, unease in classroom was palpable. I questioned, is it right thing to do give a now? Two days prior we learned online instruction would begin week after spring break for and possibly longer. This an unprecedented scenario. never took seminar titled, How Continue Teaching During Pandemic. resolved myself with attitude of we’ll g...

GRACE is a large-scale diagramming tool constructed with the aid of automated tools from the Design Maintenance System (DMS ). Diagramming tools as a component of meta-case tools are common in the development of new software engineering projects. The design and development of GRACE addresses the development of a large-scale diagramming tool for the software maintenance area. The nature of legac...

Grace is a graph-aware, in-memory, transactional graph management system, specifically built for real-time queries and fast iterative computations. It is designed to run on large multi-cores, taking advantage of the inherent parallelism to improve its performance. Grace contains a number of graph-specific and multi-core-specific optimizations including graph partitioning, careful inmemory verte...
