We then take advantage of subgroups which are discordant on self-identified race/ethnicity and socially assigned race to examine whether being classified by others as White conv...

Device drivers are notoriously hard to develop and even harder to debug. They are typically prone to many serious issues such as data races. In this paper, we present static pair-wise lock set analysis, a novel sound verification technique for proving data race freedom in device drivers. Our approach not only avoids reasoning about thread interleavings, but also allows the reuse of existing suc...

Objectives: Using a nationally representative sample of adults in the United States, we explored whether or not race alters the association between MDD and self-esteem. Materials and Methods: Data came...
