Detecting Server Bugs By Grouping Client And Correlating Errors Across Client Buckets, David T. Mcwherter

Defensive Publications Series

Detecting problems in new releases of server software is made difficult by the fact that some error classes can originate due to incorrect user actions but are indistinguishable from true software bugs. This disclosure describes techniques to determine whether elevated error rates are due to bugs in a new server release or due to customer action, enabling administrators to accurately gauge server health, to execute rollback upon the detection of a genuine bug, and to roll out software reliably. Customers are aggregated into buckets by uniformly hashing customer identifiers. Errors generated while processing a customer's request are attributed to the …

Imposter Syndrome & The Law School Caste System, Sara L. Ochs

Pace Law Review

For decades, legal academia has been structured around a hierarchical caste system, with tenured and tenure-track doctrinal law professors—many of whom are men—occupying the highest caste, and professors of legal skills courses—who more often identify as women—relegated to the lower castes. The status of these “lower caste” professors is routinely reinforced through weaker job security, less respect, and lower pay than received by their doctrinal, “upper caste” colleagues. Given this inequality, imposter syndrome plays a pervasive role in the lives and careers of professors of legal skills courses. Relying on qualitative data obtained from teaching faculty and staff at ABA …

Grand Unified (Separation Of Powers) Theory: Examining The United States Marshals, Emile Katz

Pace Law Review

This Article examines a novel separation of powers issue that the Supreme Court has never directly addressed: the existence and practices of the United States Marshals. The United States Marshals serve an executive branch function—law enforcement—yet are often directly overseen and commanded by the judicial branch. In the United States federal government system—in which the executive and judicial branches are designed to act independently—the control the federal courts exercise over the marshals raises separation of powers concerns. Since no court has decided what test should apply when federal courts vicariously exercise executive power, this Article applies several separation of powers …

Understanding Loss Of (Right To) Use Damages: Defining Fair And Reasonable Compensation For Loss Of Use In Light Of Historical Origins And Practical Considerations, Matthew J. Forrest

Pace Law Review

Loss of use is fundamentally about the denial of property rights regardless of its intended use. Property ownership vests the owner with certain intrinsic rights, including the right to use or not use. When they are deprived of that choice through the tortious conduct of another, that deprivation is compensable. This Article reviews the historical origins of loss of use law to determine that tort victims denied the right to use their property must be compensated regardless of how they would have chosen to use their property. Because these damages do not depend on the owner’s actual use, loss of …

Pandemic Emotion Perception, Rhiannon Novelli, Laura M. Getz Phd

Creative Collaborations: Annual Showcase of Undergraduate Research

Abstract: Existing research articulates difficulties masks cause in the interpretation of emotions (e.g., Carbon, 2020). The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented time in which the impact of the pandemic on individuals' emotional processing is yet to be determined. Previous work in our lab has looked at interactions between audiovisual perception, emotion recognition, and memory without the use of masks; this work and existing research provide a baseline for my current project investigating the detection of facial emotions based on auditory cues during mask wearing. The Ryerson Audio-Visual Database of Emotional Speech and Song (RAVDESS) is a verified tool to help …

How Gender Affects Perception Of Safety Following Information Of Sexual Assault, Natale Rahmon, Kiara Summers, Anne Koenig Phd

Creative Collaborations: Annual Showcase of Undergraduate Research

Abstract: The topic of sexual assault is a prevailing social issue and this study focuses on gender differences in how USD students perceive their safety when they are informed about the crime rates of sexual assault. In particular, we compared how safe men and women feel in general, as well as after reading information about sexual assault or general crime rates in a 3 (crime information: sexual assault, general, control) x 2 (participant gender: male, female) between-subjects design. Participants who were randomly assigned to read about sexual assault, for example, learned about the definitions and rates of crimes such as …

Flood Impacts And Risk Assessment Of Pleasant Creek In Capitol Reef National Park, Miranda Skinner, Suzanne Walther

Creative Collaborations: Annual Showcase of Undergraduate Research

Abstract: Capitol Reef National Park (CRNP) is located within Southern Utah. Flash floods are one of the main hazards CRNP experiences and because of the remote location of the park, numerous parameters, and sudden nature of flash floods it is extremely difficult to collect data, predict their occurrence, and create hazard maps. Pleasant Creek (PC) is a perennial stream that runs through CRNP and, due to the highly resistant sandstone of the Waterpocket Fold, experiences flash floods. We used 3D imagery and structure from motion to quantify the geomorphic changes of PC over a flood season using data collected in …

Ichthyofaunal Utilization Of A Man-Made Salt Marsh Creek In Mission Bay, California, 25 Years After Creation, Maria Angst, Drew M. Talley

Creative Collaborations: Annual Showcase of Undergraduate Research

Abstract: Southern California's wetlands are drastically declining due to human activities. Increasingly, marsh restoration and creation are being used to mitigate such losses. This study used minnow traps to resample the ichthyofauna of a created marsh (Crown Point Mitigation Site; CPMS) and an adjacent natural marsh (Kendall Frost) in Mission Bay, California, 26 years following the marsh creation. These data were compared to data collected from 1995-1998, immediately after marsh creation. Fishes trapped included Fundulus parvipinnis, Gillichthys mirabilis, Ctenogobius sagittula, Atherinops affinis, and Mugil cephalus. Species richness and dominance measures were higher in the natural …

Redefining Femininity: American Women In Paris In The 1920s, Lauren O'Neill, Michael Gonzalez Phd, Kathryn Statler Phd

Creative Collaborations: Annual Showcase of Undergraduate Research

Abstract: During the interwar period, from 1918 to 1939, the roles of women experienced change as the traditional gender stereotype of male dependency shifted to female independence and power. Much of this shift can be attributed to the women who found refuge in Paris during this time. Of the many women who realized their independence during the 1920s, Americans Gertrude Stein, Josephine Baker, and Zelda Fitzgerald stand out as trailblazers and examples of those women who reimagined the female role. Coming out of World War I, most of the Western world valued conformity, patriotism, and tradition, however, the "Lost Generation" …

Mathspark: Sparking Student Curiosity Through Hands-On, Inquiry-Based Mathematics Explorations Inspired By Funds Of Knowledge, Katrina Baha, Kaliyah Clyde, Mikaela Morris, Perla Myers Phd, Amanda Ruiz Phd

Creative Collaborations: Annual Showcase of Undergraduate Research

Abstract: Much of the existing research focuses on the questions teachers ask students, but there is very little information about the questions students ask. The main purpose of this research was to explore ways to engage students in asking their own questions in the learning of mathematics, and to create a scale to help educators categorize the types of questions students ask. We created and used inquiry-based, funds of knowledge-rich lessons with productive struggle opportunities to promote curiosity (Calleja, 2016) and elicit student questions to develop and test our question categorization scale.

Dissipation In Global Simulations Of Accretion Disks, Catherine Gibson, Theodore Dezen Phd

Creative Collaborations: Annual Showcase of Undergraduate Research

Abstract: We perform general relativistic magneto-hydrodynamic simulations to study the dynamics of and radiation from accretion onto stellar mass black holes. Recent theoretical work suggested magnetic torques exerted at the innermost stable circular orbit can drive significant bulk vertical energy transport in regions close to the black hole, and hence dissipate a larger fraction of accretion power near the photosphere compared to standard models. This additional heating in turn may lead to the non-thermal high-energy (into several hundred keVs) radiation observed in some systems. We analyze time-dependent global simulations to further assess the feasibility of such models and illuminate the …

Developing Linguistic And Intercultural Competence Through An International Engineering Program: Rationale, Procedures, Lessons Learned, Michel R. Gueldry

Global Advances in Business Communication

Language education for STEM and especially engineering presents opportunities for student recruitment and retention, for curricular and scholarly innovation, and for interdisciplinary initiatives. Therefore, this article is inspired by the relative paucity of resources on language education and intercultural studies for engineering and its potential for expansion. It presents a case study of the development of a global engineering program with study in France and explores transferability to other languages and institutions by offering a “how-to” guide. This article may serve as a vade mecum for curriculum and program developers since it includes the multilayered rationale for offering a GEP, …

Diversity And Inclusion In International Communications: Applications For Today’S Work World, Kimberley Barker Phd, Redhwan Al-Muntaser, Emily J. Boerman, Joshua Burd, Scott Burns, Stephanie Coleman, Christine R. Day, Ciara Grantham, Paul Katokwe, Heidi Philipsen-Meissner

Global Advances in Business Communication

Verna Myers (2016) advocated that “Diversity is being invited to the party, but inclusion is being asked to dance.” Cultural competence demands a strategic understanding of the importance of harnessing the power of diversity and inclusion in every action in organizations, communities, and nations throughout the world. Today’s work world cannot undervalue the importance of having diverse and inclusive representation in all areas of the organization, especially including international communication. By creating an environment that continually asks questions, values and embraces diversity - then collaborates and reconciles potential solutions to create positive outcomes - creates an inclusive environment in which …

A Case Study Of Workplace Language Use Within Micro, Small, Midsize, And Large Companies: Insights From Language School Students In Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Steven J. Sacco, Steven De Koffi

Global Advances in Business Communication

Africa is experiencing explosive economic growth that will continue unabated into the next decades. Despite Africa’s economic ascendance and its paucity of native English speakers, Business English as Lingua Franca (BELF) researchers have largely bypassed it, focusing instead on Europe and Asia. BELF researchers such as Neeley (2012, 2017) and Kankaanranta & Louhiala-Salminen (2013) have declared English the world’s language of business despite contrary evidence of multilingual franca workplace settings within multinational corporations (Ehrenreich, 2009; Janssens & Steyaert, 2014; Angouri, 2014; Lüdi, Meier & Yanaprasart, 2016; Sacco, 2017, 2019, 2022). The present study explored workplace language use among 22 managers …

Effect Of Instruction Language On English-Spanish Bilinguals’ Speech Perception, Alexa Andrade, Laura M. Getz Phd

Creative Collaborations: Annual Showcase of Undergraduate Research

Abstract: Compared to monolinguals, bilinguals have an advantage in faster reaction times during task switching (Hernández et al., 2013). However, it is not known how switching task language affects basic perception of speech sounds. The goal of this project was to determine whether Spanish-English bilingual participants respond to auditory stimuli differently based on the language in which they receive task instructions. Participants were randomly given experiment instructions in English or Spanish, and then were presented with minimal pairs of words varying in voice onset time (VOT) along a continuum (e.g., belly/peli). Both endpoints of the stimuli were words in Spanish, …
