such techniques, however, requires a thermal model that is practical for architectural studies. This paper describes HotSpot, an accurate yet fast model based on an equivalent circuit of thermal resistances and capacitances that correspond to microarchitecture blocks and essential aspects of the thermal package

Since the beginning of the century, feedback interventions (FIs) produced negative—but largely ignored—effects on performance. A meta-analysis (607 effect sizes; 23,663 observations) suggests that FIs improved performance on average (d =.41) but that over '/3 of the FIs decreased perfor

Experimental economists are leaving the reservation. They are recruiting subjects in the field rather than in the classroom, using field goods rather than induced valuations, and using field context rather than abstract terminology in instructions. We argue that there is something methodologically fundamental behind this trend. Field experiments differ from laboratory experiments in many ways. Although it is tempting to view field experiments as simply less controlled variants of laboratory experiments, we argue that to do so would be to seriously mischaracterize them. What passes for “control ” in laboratory experiments might in fact be precisely the opposite if it is artificial to the subject or context of the task. We propose six factors that can be used to determine the field context of an experiment: the nature of the subject pool, the nature of the information that the subjects bring to the task, the nature of the commodity, the nature of the task or trading rules applied, the nature

In: Proc 10th IJCAI, 1987, 1039ff. To date, reactive robot behavior has been achieved only through manual programming. This paper describes a new kind of plan, called a "universal plan", which can be synthesized automatically, yet generates appropriate behavior in unpredictable

is not optimal for improving chronic disease outcomes. Instead, solving these issues requires a low-cost longitudinal monitoring method of health and daily activities, as well as techniques for effective behavioral modifications. Fortunately, we are starting to acquire the tools that will help us counter those

virtualization, whereby each service runs in an isolated slice of PlanetLab’s global resources. Second, to support competition among multiple network services, PlanetLab decouples the operating system running on each node from the networkwide services that define PlanetLab, a principle referred to as unbundled

-to-head comparisons that will facilitate adoption of the AP as a standard therapy for type 1 diabetes. From the time of closed-loop hospital setting studies in the 1970s (1), the automa-tion of blood glucose (BG) control has been a grand challenge for type 1 diabetes
