to users and increases reliability in the presence of an outage taking out an entire site. However, without appropriate design and management, these geo-diverse data center networks can raise the cost of providing service. Moreover, leveraging geo-diversity requires services be designed to benefit from it
Coil sensitivity encoding for fast MRI. In:
- Proceedings of the ISMRM 6th Annual Meeting,
, 1998
"... New theoretical and practical concepts are presented for considerably enhancing the performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by means of arrays of multiple receiver coils. Sensitivity encoding (SENSE) is based on the fact that receiver sensitivity generally has an encoding effect complementa ..."

, samples of distinct information content can be obtained at one time by using distinct receivers in parallel (2), implying the possibility of reducing scan time in Fourier imaging without having to travel faster in k-space. In 1988 Hutchinson and Raff (3) suggested dispensing entirely with phase encoding
Self-determination and persistence in a real-life setting: Toward a motivational model of high school dropout.
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,
, 1997
"... The purpose of this study was to propose and test a motivational model of high school dropout. The model posits that teachers, parents, and the school administration's behaviors toward students influence students' perceptions of competence and autonomy. The less autonomy supportive the so ..."

Roughly one third of all students will drop out of high school without having received their high school diplomas, both in Canada (Canada
Longer-term effects of Head Start
- American Economic Review
, 2002
"... Abstract Public early intervention programs like Head Start are often justified as investments in children. Yet nothing is known about the long-term effects of Head Start. This paper draws on unique data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to provide new evidence on the effects of Head Start on ..."

Self-concordance at work: Toward understanding the motivational effects of transformational leaders.
- Academy of Management Journal,
, 2003
"... We extend existing theories by linking transformational leadership to "self-concordance" at work. In two studies using diverse samples and methods, leader behaviors were associated with follower tendencies to set self-concordant goals. In general, followers of transformational leaders vie ..."

A note on the use of timestamps as nonces
- OPERATING SYSTEMS REVIEW
, 1993
"... The use of timestamps in key distribution proto-oak was suggested by Denning and Sacoa [DS81]. Timestarnps are now used in most production authentication services including Kerberos [SNS88]. Concerns have been raised about the security implications of this practice [Gon92]. Timestamps are necessary ..."
A Note on Optimal Taxation in the Presence of Externalities

It is demonstrated that when direct taxation of externalities is possible, optimal taxes can be expressed as the sum of the optimal Pigouvian taxes a ..."
