Resilience research holds promise for its potential to inform treatment of stress-related pathology. Likewise, a better understanding of the mechanisms that promote resilience can inform training programs aimed at preventing maladaptive responses to trauma (e.g., stress inoculation training). However, the emergence of programs offering methods to make individuals resilient suggests the term may...

and resilient mice. (a) Schematic detailing time-course of chronic social defeat, social interaction testing and tissue collection. (b) To identify susceptible and resilient mice, a social interaction ratio (time in interaction zone with social target/time with target absent) was calculated for each mouse based on (c) behavior in the social interaction test 24 hr after CSDS (susceptible ratio <...

State machine replication, or “consensus”, is a central abstraction for distributed systems where a set of nodes seek to agree on an ever-growing, linearly-ordered log. In this paper, we propose a practical new paradigm called Thunderella for achieving state machine replication by combining a fast, asynchronous path with a (slow) synchronous “fall-back” path (which only gets executed if somethi...

In this paper we present a real-time distributed optimization algorithm based on Alternating Directions Method of Multipliers (ADMM) for resilient monitoring of power flow oscillation patterns in large power system networks. We pose the problem as a least squares (LS) estimation problem for the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of the transfer function, and combine a centralized Pro...

label commonly used to refer to such children is resilient. This review of literature will examine what it is about these children that enable them to bounce right back from adversity, and what makes them immune to the factors that negatively affect others. More specifically, this review will examine protective factors that contribute to resilience. The literature has documented individual char...

Recently, the academic and industrial literature has coalesced around an enhanced vision of the electric power grid that is intelligent, responsive, dynamic, adaptive and flexible. One particularly emphasized “smart-grid” property is that of resilience where healthy regions of the grid continue to operate while disrupted and perturbed regions bring themselves back to normal operation. Multi-age...

OBJECTIVES To examine 10-year mortality and hospital use among individuals categorised as resilient and vulnerable to the impact of chronic pain. DESIGN A cohort record linkage study. SETTING Grampian, Scotland. PARTICIPANTS 5858 individuals from the Grampian Pain Cohort, established in 1996, were linked, by probability matching, with national routinely collected datasets. MAIN OUTCOME ...

The minimum distance between Bent functions and Resilient functions is studied. An algorithm for calculating the minimum distance betw een Bent functions and resilient functions is given. We give a new lower bound for the minimum distance be tween Bent functions and 1 resilient functions. This new lower bound is better than that presented by S. Maity etc in 2004, and their conjectures are prove...

We extend the notions of correlation-immune functions and resilient functions to functions over any nite alphabet endowed with the structure of an Abelian group. Thus we generalize the results of Gopalakrishnan and Stinson as we give an orthogonal array characterization and a Fourier transform characterization for resilient functions over any nite alphabet. This leads to a generalization of som...
