Schedule disruptions are commonplace in the airline industry with many flight-delaying events occurring each day. Recently there has been a focus on introducing robustness into airline planning stages to reduce the effect of these disruptions. We propose a recoverable robustness technique as an alternative to robust optimisation to reduce the effect of disruptions and the cost of recovery. We f...

Oxygenation is the most critical function of blood flow and a sudden reduction in oxygen availability is an inevitable consequence of severe ischemia. The resulting cascade of events may result in the failure of membrane integrity of some cells and necrosis, but in the surrounding zone of tissue, less affected by hypoxia, cells survive to form the ischemic penumbra. The timing of these events i...

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We aim at characterizing the functions that could be explained (recoverable) as a best reply of payoff-maximizing players in contests for fixed prize. We show recoverability strongly differs between Decisive Contests, where prize is allocated with certainty, and Possibly Indecisive might not awarded. In latter, any arbitrary set recoverable, thus "anything goe...

In this paper, we study the impacts of checkpointing and write-through procedures, which are critical in maintaining database recoverability and transaction durability, on the performance of a well-known real-time concurrency control protocol, the Read/Write Priority Ceiling Protocol (RWPCP). Although RWPCP can guarantee the schedulability of real-time transactions, it could be unrecoverable, a...

Highly selective and metal free synthesis of industrially important crotonic acid is accomplished by using a single recoverable solvent system under mild reaction conditions.

Erasure-correcting codes, that support local repair of codeword symbols, have attracted substantial attention recently for their application in distributed storage systems. This paper investigates a generalization of the usual locally recoverable codes. In particular, this paper studies a class of codes with the following property: any small set of codeword symbols is recoverable from a small n...

We address the problem of deciding whether a causal or probabilistic query is estimable from data corrupted by missing entries, given a model of missingness process. We extend the results of Mohan et al. [2013] by presenting more general conditions for recovering probabilistic queries of the form P (y|x) and P (y, x) as well as causal queries of the form P (y|do(x)). We show that causal queries...

The unexpected road blockage problem (URBP for short) is considered for the case when some blockages occur on the road at certain times and such blockages would be revealed only upon reaching them. Papadimitriou and Yannakakis proved that devising a strategy that guarantees a given competitive ratio is PSPACE-complete if the number of edges that might be blocked is not fixed; Bar-noy and Schieb...

Although transactions have been a valuable abstraction of atomicity persistency and recoverability they have not been widely used in programming environments today mostly because of their high overheads that have been driven by the low performance of magnetic disks A major challenge in transaction based systems is to remove the magnetic disk from the critical path of transaction management In t...
