“Delinquent” instructions are a small number of static instructions that cause most branch prediction misses and cache misses in a program. One of the important features of those delinquent instructions is that most of them are executed in small loops. We have proposed a new scheme of multithreading called Switch-on-Future-Event Multithreading (SoFE-MT) that hides a latency of delinquent instru...

BACKGROUND Genetic predisposition and environmental influences are both important factors in the development of problematic behavior leading to substance use in adolescence. Involvement with delinquent peers also strongly predicts adolescent externalizing behavior. Several lines of evidence support a role of GABRA2 on externalizing behavior related to disinhibition. However, whether this geneti...

METHODS Meta-analysis of eight randomised controlled trials involving 749 children and adolescents (aged 10-17 years) with conduct disorder and/or delinquency. Criminality, academic performance, future employment, problem behaviour, family functioning, parental ...

Adolescents who develop severe conduct disorders are at greater risk of becoming involved in juvenile crime, including property crime, interpersonal violence, theft, arson and illegal substance use. Prior research has found that dysfunctional parenting practices often place children at risk of developing conduct problems and are among the strongest predictors of later delinquent behaviour. Vari...

DESIGN The Community Youth Development Study is the first randomized trial of CTC. SETTING In 2003, 24 small towns in 7 states, matched within state, were randomly assigned to control or CTC conditions. PARTICIPANTS A pa...

D.P.M. (Pp. x + 396. 25s.). London: Cassell. 1953. DR. PEARCE begins his book with a brief historical survey of the subject, showing that "the grave increase in Juvenile I)elinquency" has been a source of anxiety since the beginning of the nineteenth century. He ends his study by remarking that the real question is not so much one of deciding what the right preventive steps are, but whi they ar...

OBJECTIVE Investigates parenting practices and the reported sexual and delinquent behaviors among Thai adolescents, by focusing on the difference between sons and daughters. MATERIAL AND METHOD Data were derived from 420 families whose adolescents aged 13-14 were randomly selected from seven districts in Bangkok using the probability proportional to size (PPS) method. Interviews were conducte...

In this paper, we develop a dynamic model for debt repayment behaviors of new customers in the credit card market. We treat customer decisions of whether to be delinquent or not and of how much to pay conditional on deciding not to be delinquent as two separate but possibly correlated decisions and thus view the amount repaid by a delinquent consumer as a censored observation. We assume that th...

To improve the access to children’s mental health care, knowledge on determinants of care use is important. Where previous systematic reviews mainly focus parent-related factors, we are first systematically review individual and contextual in children under age 18 years old. Five electronic databases were searched for studies adolescents’ use. Twenty-two longitudinal, population-based, quantita...
