EMINENT: Embarrassingly Parallel Mutation Testing
No full textAbstractDuring the last decade, the fast evolution in communication networks has facilitated the development of complex applications that manage vast amounts of data, like Big Data applications. Unfortunately, the high complexity of these applications hampers the testing process. Moreover, generating adequate test suites to properly check these applications is a challenging task due to the elevated number of potential test cases. Mutation testing is a valuable technique to measure the quality of the selected test suite that can be used to overcome this difficulty. However, one of the main drawbacks of mutation testing lies on the high computational cost associated to this process.In this paper we propose a dynamic distributed algorithm focused on HPC systems, called EMINENT, which has been designed to face the performance problems in mutation testing techniques. EMINENT alleviates the computational cost associated with this technique since it exploits parallelism in cluster systems to reduce the final execution time. In addition, several experiments have been carried out on three applications in order to analyse the scalability and performance of EMINENT. The results show that EMINENT provides an increase in the speed-up in most scenarios
Government Takings: Determinants of Eminent Domain
No full textThere is a well-documented link between institutions of secure property rights and economic development. The increasing use of eminent domain to transfer property from one private owner to another for private benefit, upheld in the Supreme Court's controversial Kelo decision, undermines the security of property rights. While previous research examines the effect of eminent domain use, this paper explores which factors explain varying levels of eminent domain use for private benefit across states. The author finds that corruption, election of state Supreme Courts, federalism, and economic freedom are important determinants of eminent domain use for private benefit.

eminente (eminent domain) en tres de las más importantes ciudades latinoamericanas.
Aborda conforme lo anterior, de manera crítica, las relaciones entre las reglas
legales usadas respecto del dominio eminente y el contexto institucional en el cual
son aplicadas dichas reglas, en una perspectiva bidimensional: la primera, la de las
relaciones entre los poderes judicial, legislativo y ejecutivo en lo concerniente al
dominio eminente, y la segunda, la distribución de autoridad con relación al dominio
eminente a nivel de gobiernos nacionales, provinciales o locales. Por esta vía
logra el autor un acertado análisis comparativo, contextualizando dichas prácticas
de dominio eminente, con la realidad de cada una de esas metrópolis, permitiendo
las inferencias aterrizadas de que carecen estudios similares.In this work the author offers a rich and deep examination on the practices
of “eminent domain” in three of the most important Latin-American cities. He
approaches as the previous thing, of a critical way, the relations between the legal
rules that concern of “eminent domain” and the institutional context in which the
above mentioned rules are applied, in a two-dimensional perspective: the first one,
that of the relations between the power judicial, legislative and executive in the
relating thing to “eminent domain”, and the second one, the distribution of authority
with relation to “eminent domain” to level of national, provincial or local governments.
For this route the author achieves a guessed right comparative analysis,
giving context to the above mentioned practices of “eminent domain”, in the reality
of each one of this metropolis, allowing the inferences landed that similar studies
lack
Eminent Domain: Judicial Interpretation Abridges a Constitutional Guarantee
No full textThe fifth amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees that private property shall not be taken for a public use, without just compensation. The author examines the history of eminent domain as it has been applied in the United States. From a concept which originally focused upon a just compensation, it has evolved into one under which any governmental taking will be upheld; provided that it serves a public use. The author concludes that by classifying eminent domain as sociological legislation, constitutional protections of property have been diluted by legislative bodies. Finally, the author suggests that an interest analysis approach, balancing governmental needs against private needs, would help to curb the almost unlimited use of eminent domain to promote legislative goals
Extracts and Analects of an Eminent Author

UWE, Bristol's Regenerator II project. Sir Walter Scott's 'Biographical Memoirs of Eminent Novelists and other Distinguished Persons' Vol 3 was the original book. In researching its history, I was intrigued to find out about Scott’s prolific publication in his latter years, to pay off huge debts. Having already explored extracts from the book, particularly looking at the wonderful use of language and the illustrations, I decided to bring it all together in a contemporary publishing method - print on demand, into which I added more extracts; thus linking it to my other respons

Eminent Domain (Update)
No full textOne of the most challenging and enduring puzzles in American constitutional law is how one distinguishes a compensable taking of power from a legitimate and noncompensable exercise of the police power. To suggest the Supreme Court’s approach to the question, Harry N. Scheiber, author of the Encyclopedia’s principal article on eminent domain, looked back and away from the Court to Chief Justice Lemuel Shaw of Massachusetts

Domain: eminent
No full text2013 Summer.Includes bibliographical references.As an artist with a background in politics, my work is propelled by a need "to do something". I am particularly interested in the crossroads of action and inaction. My work history, the political actions I have organized and participated in, and my transition to the art world lead up to my final body of work. Domain: Eminent is an installation of abstracted claw forms that is a reliquary to fossil fuels. The dueling political tensions between curbing climate change and expanding economic prosperity inspired and motivated this work. The installation honors the beauty and benefits these fuels have brought to our world while at the same time symbolically putting them in their "restful" space as an untouched material
