Climate and atmospheric history of the past 420,000 years from the Vostok ice core,
- Antarctica. Nature
, 1999
"... Antarctica has allowed the extension of the ice record of atmospheric composition and climate to the past four glacial-interglacial cycles. The succession of changes through each climate cycle and termination was similar, and atmospheric and climate properties oscillated between stable bounds. Inte ..."

sea sediments, continental deposits of flora, fauna and loess, and ice cores. These studies have documented the wide range of climate variability on Earth. They have shown that much of the variability occurs with periodicities corresponding to that of the precession, obliquity and eccentricity
Dynamo: amazon’s highly available key-value store
- IN PROC. SOSP
, 2007
"... Reliability at massive scale is one of the biggest challenges we face at Amazon.com, one of the largest e-commerce operations in the world; even the slightest outage has significant financial consequences and impacts customer trust. The Amazon.com platform, which provides services for many web sites ..."

the reliability and scalability of the software systems.
This paper presents the design and implementation of Dynamo, a highly available key-value storage system that some of Amazon’s core services use to provide an “always-on ” experience. To achieve this level of availability, Dynamo sacrifices consistency
Securing ad hoc networks
"... Ad hoc networks are a new wireless networking paradigm for mobile hosts. Unlike traditional mobile wireless networks, ad hoc networks do not rely on any fixed infrastructure. Instead, hosts rely on each other to keep the network connected. The military tactical and other security-sensitive operation ..."

nodes — to defend routing against denial of service attacks. We also use replication and new cryptographic schemes, such as threshold cryptography, to build a highly secure and highly available key management service, which forms the core of our security framework.
UCSF Chimera—a visualization system for exploratory research and analysis
- J. Comput. Chem
, 2004
"... Abstract: The design, implementation, and capabilities of an extensible visualization system, UCSF Chimera, are discussed. Chimera is segmented into a core that provides basic services and visualization, and extensions that provide most higher level functionality. This architecture ensures that the ..."

Financial Dependence and Growth
- American Economic Review
, 1998
"... This paper examines whether nancial development facilitates economic growth by scrutinizing one rationale for such a relationship; that nancial development reduces the costs of external nance to rms. Speci cally, we ask whether industrial sectors that are relatively more in need of external nance de ..."

We show this result is unlikely to be driven by omitted variables, outliers, or reverse causality. (JEL O4, F3, G1) A large literature, dating at least
Random Early Detection Gateways for Congestion Avoidance.
- IEEELACM Transactions on Networking,
, 1993
"... Abstract-This paper presents Random Early Detection (RED) gateways for congestion avoidance in packet-switched networks. The gateway detects incipient congestion by computing the average queue size. The gateway could notify connections of congestion either by dropping packets arriving at the gatewa ..."

Nevertheless, the view of an individual connection is limited by the time scales of the connection
Extensibility, safety and performance in the SPIN operating system
, 1995
"... This paper describes the motivation, architecture and performance of SPIN, an extensible operating system. SPIN provides an extension infrastructure, together with a core set of extensible services, that allow applications to safely change the operating system's interface and implementation. Ex ..."

Planetlab: An overlay testbed for broad-coverage services
- ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review
, 2003
"... PlanetLab is a global overlay network for developing and accessing broad-coverage network services. Our goal is to grow to 1000 geographically distributed nodes, connected by a diverse collection of links. PlanetLab allows multiple services to run concurrently and continuously, each in its own slice ..."

Lottery Scheduling: Flexible Proportional-Share Resource Management
, 1994
"... This paper presents lottery scheduling, a novel randomized resource allocation mechanism. Lottery scheduling provides efficient, responsive control over the relative execution rates of computations. Such control is beyond the capabilities of conventional schedulers, and is desirable in systems that ..."
