This paper studies the impact of omission failures on asynchronous distributed systems with crash-stop failures. We provide two different transformations for algorithms, failure detectors, and problem specifications, one of which is weakest failure detector preserving. We prove that our transformation of failure detector Ω [1] is the weakest failure detector for consensus in environments with c...

The quantitative study of the role of communicative efficiency in language production and comprehension has gained increasing attention recently. However, in online production most investigation has focused on the phonetic/phonological level, leaving open the question of whether the communicative pressures involved extend to the syntactic level. I present a corpus study which investigates the o...

A distributor segment has failure rate and repair time which decide mean up time (MUT) and mean down time (MDT). Usually the reliability analysis is based on exponential failure and repair laws. Certain values of repair times are smaller which may be neglected. This is known as repair time omission. Omitted repair time may be fixed. Repair time omitted in turn will affect the basic reliability ...

A synchronous system model is a simple yet powerful distributed system model that reduces the complexity of the design and implementation of dependable distributed applications. However, a late message arrival or a missed deadline violates the properties of a completely synchronous system. Therefore, an application that depends upon these properties might violate its safety properties due to a ...

Protected values (PVs) are those that people think should not be traded off. Baron and Spranca (1997) proposed that such values result from rules concerning actions (as opposed to values for outcomes). This proposal implies that PVs should show a particularly large bias against harmful acts that undermine the value in question, as opposed to harmful omissions (omission bias). We found this corr...

CM is a serious problem in the United States and around the world. 2 It can be defined as any act or series of acts of commission or omission by a parent or caregiver that results in harm, potential for harm, or threat of harm to a child. Acts of commission are deliberate and intentional, however, harm to a child may or may not be the intended consequence. Physical, sexual, and psychological ab...

This paper examines the spontaneous productions of 3 normal and 11 French children with SLI, focussing on infinitives, subject and complement clitics, and determiners. The 3 normal children (1.8–2.10) appear to show roughly concomitant use of infinitives and omission of determiners or pronominal clitics. However, determiner omission and the use of infinitives are different in some respects. Mor...

Abstract Infrequently omitting a sound from a repetitive sequence elicits the mismatch negativity (MMN) ERP response when the stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) is less than 200 ms. We contrasted two alternative explanations of omission MMN. (1) Each sound starts a separate temporal integration process. Omissions violate the constancy of the temporal structure within the integration window. (2) So...

Communicators, motivated by strategic self-presentation, selectively underreport negative content in describing their impressions of individuals and stereotypes of groups, particularly for targets whom they view ambivalently with respect to warmth and competence. Communicators avoid overtly inaccurate descriptions, preferring to omit negative information and emphasize positive information about...
