Author(s): Scott, Ian | Abstract: As the interface between hardware and software, Instruction Set Architectures (ISAs) play a key role in the operation of computers. While both hardware and software have continued to evolve rapidly over time, ISAs have undergone minimal change. Since its release in 2010, RISC-V has begun to erode the industry aversion to ISA innovation. Established on the principals of the Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC), and as an open source ISA, RISC-V offers many benefits over popular ISAs like Intel’s x86 and Arm Holding’s Advanced RISC Machine (ARM). In this literature review I evaluate the literature discussing: What makes changing Instruction Set Architectures difficultWhy might the industry choose to implement RISC-V When researching this topic I visited the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), INSPEC (Engineering Village), and ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) Digital Library databases. I used the search terms, “RISC-V”, “Instruction Set Architecture”, “RISC-V” AND “x86”, and “RISC-V” AND “Instruction Set Architecture”. This literature review evaluates 10 papers on implementation of RISC-V. As this paper was intended to cover recent developments in the field, publication dates were limited to from 2015 to present.
摘要:指令集体系结构(Instruction Set Architectures, isa)作为计算机硬件和软件之间的接口，在计算机的运行中起着关键作用。随着时间的推移，硬件和软件都在迅速发展，isa却只经历了很小的变化。自2010年发布以来，RISC-V已经开始消除行业对ISA创新的厌恶。RISC- v建立在精简指令集计算机(RISC)的基础上，作为一个开源的ISA，它比流行的ISA(如英特尔的x86和Arm Holding的高级RISC机器(Arm))提供了许多好处。在这篇文献综述中，我评估了文献讨论:是什么使得改变指令集体系结构变得困难，为什么行业可能选择实施RISC-V。在研究这个主题时，我访问了IEEE(电气和电子工程师协会)，INSPEC(工程村)和ACM(计算机协会)数字图书馆数据库。我使用了搜索词，“RISC-V”，“指令集架构”，“RISC-V”和“x86”，以及“RISC-V”和“指令集架构”。本文献综述评估了10篇关于RISC-V实现的论文。由于本文旨在涵盖该领域的最新发展，因此出版日期仅限于2015年至今。

Author(s): Marquez, Cesar Guadalupe | Abstract: This literature review investigates the challenges first-generation college students face when dealing with mental health issues in college. Four main categories are examined to demonstrate the challenges faced by first-generation college students including the status’ that first-generation college students identify with, their family background and support, cultural support from their peers, and the level of knowledge they have about the college process to be successful. Future researchers could look into studying first-generation college students from different cultures and their mental health with different types of methodologies, that is later stated in the review, which can help conduct studies to help advance this area of psychological research.

Author(s): Mulligan, Shea | Abstract: Carnivorous plants have evolved convergently around five times in evolutionary history. These plants are found in poor-soil environments and adapt their leaves to form mechanisms to trap prey, in order to outsource nutrients missing from the soil. New developments in digestive enzymes and leaf modification into traps have been found recently. Carnivorous plants shed an important light in the relationship between ecology and evolution and how changes in environment can lead to changes in form and function. Concerns about climate change’s potential effect on carnivorous plants have also been of great discussion recently, with pushes to conserve the carnivorous plants.

Author(s): Garcia Barrera, Karla | Abstract: Foster youth are generally associated, within research conventions, as negative outcomes. Foster youth are children, teens, and young adults who are placed in varying institutions due to lack of parental neglect, mental, or physical abuse. The most prevalent cause of their displacement into government provided institutions, is neglect. Foster youth have encountered differing forms of adversities that affect their daily life. The abuse these children and youth encounter is often times traumatic. Some of the trauma can be a combination of: mental abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and much more. As such, their lives are altered and therefore affect their long-term functioning domains. They often have difficulty in demonstrating emotional connections or expression of them. The research that will be discussed is are the factors that influence a positive outcome on the prevalence of resiliency among foster youth. Some of the factors discussed will be external and internal factors that are included but not limited to: behavioral, social, and cognitive developments as well as, social relationships and external institutional support. Therefore, the addressed research question will be a literature review on: What factors lead to resiliency?

Author(s): Torres, Andres Israel | Abstract: Many studies have been conducted on the environmental impact of automotive vehicles, but less research has been done on the effects of orbital launch vehicles. This literature review addresses the question, what are the environmental effects of reusable rockets? The environmental effects that are considered include pollution to the atmosphere, soil, and Low Earth Orbit in the form of space debris. Also, reusable orbital launch vehicles are specifically considered because their reduced costs could increase launch frequency. The impact of rockets in general has been difficult to quantify because rockets are not launched very often, and they mostly operate in space. Research has shown that launch prices are decreasing while their total environmental effects is unknown (Jones, 2018). However, research agrees that space debris is a considerable threat to future space activity that will only get worse, but there is no consensus as to when the problem will be too great (Noble, Almanee, Shakir, a Sungmin Park, Apr 2016; Sliz-Balogh, Horvath, Szabo, a Horvath, 2020).When considering reusable orbital launch vehicles, it is specified that these types of vehicles are rockets that can insert payloads with considerable mass into orbit around Earth or even away from Earth into deep space. There are many rockets currently operational with this capability, but only two are reusable at the time: The Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. Unlike their conventional counterparts, these rockets do not eject and discard their first stage. Instead, they recover and reuse it. However, conventional and reusable rockets are similar because they discard their second stage after their payloads have been deployed.The research conducted in this literature review was taken from databases accessed through the UC Merced library website. They include Engineering Village, Web of Science, Sax’s Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, etc. Ten sources were referenced which were found using several key search terms including reusable, rocket*, pollution, propellant, space, debris, exploration, etc. Some of the terms were searched in combinations using key phrases like reusable rocket, space debris, rockets AND pollution, etc. Due to the limited research on the environmental effects of rockets on the ocean, it was not mentioned. For example, there were ninety-seven and fifty-eight results under the phrase rocket AND ocean, in Engineering Village and IEEE Xplore databases respectively. None of the papers had anything to do with environmental effects.
摘要:汽车对环境影响的研究较多，但轨道运载火箭对环境影响的研究较少。这篇文献综述解决了这个问题，可重复使用的火箭对环境的影响是什么?所考虑的环境影响包括以空间碎片的形式对大气、土壤和近地轨道的污染。此外，可重复使用的轨道运载火箭也被特别考虑，因为它们降低的成本可以增加发射频率。一般来说，火箭的影响很难量化，因为火箭并不经常发射，而且它们大多在太空中运行。研究表明，发射价格正在下降，而它们的总环境影响是未知的(Jones, 2018)。然而，研究一致认为，空间碎片对未来的太空活动构成了相当大的威胁，而且只会变得更糟，但对于这个问题何时会变得太大，还没有达成共识(Noble, Almanee, Shakir, a Sungmin Park, 2016年4月;Sliz-Balogh, Horvath, Szabo, a Horvath, 2020)。在考虑可重复使用轨道运载火箭时，明确了这类运载火箭是能够将相当质量的有效载荷送入绕地轨道甚至远离地球进入深空的火箭。目前有许多火箭具有这种能力，但只有两个是可重复使用的:猎鹰9号和猎鹰重型。与传统火箭不同，这些火箭不会弹射并丢弃第一级。相反，他们会对其进行回收再利用。然而，常规火箭和可重复使用火箭是相似的，因为它们在有效载荷部署后丢弃了第二级。本文献综述中的研究来自加州大学默塞德分校图书馆网站上的数据库。包括工程村、科学网、萨克斯的工业材料危险特性等。参考了十个来源，使用几个关键搜索词，包括可重复使用的，火箭*，污染，推进剂，空间，碎片，探索等。其中一些关键词是用可重复使用的火箭、太空碎片、火箭和污染等关键词组合搜索的。由于对火箭对海洋环境影响的研究有限，因此没有提及。例如，在Engineering Village和IEEE explore数据库中，分别有97和58个结果在短语rocket和ocean下。没有一篇论文与环境影响有关。

Author(s): Funes, Vanessa | Abstract: Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a pandemic issue affecting hospital patients. There are many studies showing what can be done to decrease resistance of many microbes, but there is not one complete method. This review indicates the effective methods that can be used to prevent resistance from spreading in hospitals.Methods: The review was set to focus on antimicrobial resistance, misuse, and overuse of antimicrobials, what doctors are doing that influences resistance and stewardship programs. Articles published from 2008- 2018 were found using Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and PLOS.Results: Out of the 15 articles found, 7 articles met the ideal selection criteria and were included in the review. All articles demonstrated the importance of antimicrobial resistance and provided ways in which resistance can be decreased. All studies reported the use of stewardship programs were necessary, but only three articles demonstrated its effectiveness.Conclusion: This review demonstrates a high need for antimicrobial stewardship programs to decrease the evolution of antimicrobial resistance. However, there is a problem with individual medical providers not complying to such programs due to the restrictions they say it creates. The results state otherwise and in fact demonstrate how a medical provider’s behavior must change to provide significance on the implementation of successful stewardship programs.
摘要:背景:抗菌药物耐药性是影响医院患者的一个大流行问题。有许多研究表明可以采取什么措施来减少许多微生物的耐药性，但没有一个完整的方法。本文综述了预防耐药在医院传播的有效方法。方法:本综述的重点是抗菌素耐药性、滥用和过度使用抗菌素，医生正在做的影响耐药性和管理方案。2008年至2018年发表的文章可通过Web of Science、ScienceDirect和PLOS找到。结果:15篇文献中，有7篇符合理想选择标准，被纳入综述。所有文章都证明了抗菌素耐药性的重要性，并提供了减少耐药性的方法。所有的研究报告使用管理程序是必要的，但只有三篇文章证明其有效性。结论:这一综述表明，高度需要抗菌药物管理计划，以减少抗菌药物耐药性的演变。然而，有一个问题是，个别医疗服务提供者不遵守这些计划，因为他们说这造成了限制。研究结果表明，医疗服务提供者的行为必须改变，才能对管理项目的成功实施起到重要作用。

Author(s): Moran, Jonathan L | Abstract: Despite the computer’s historical success as a communication tool, machines themselves have yet to fully master the most basic forms of nonverbal communication that we humans use daily. Gender, ethnicity, age and emotional state is often perceived immediately by most humans engaging in conversation. However, training a classifier algorithm to accomplish this form of behavioral observation is a rather difficult task. In this exploratory review, we will be replicating object recognition and deep learning in a convolutional neural network to ultimately train a model to distinguish the universal human emotions from the FER2013 facial expression dataset (Kaggle, 2013).

Author(s): Rosa, Jose A. | Abstract: This is a study determining which factor is a stronger return to education in a post-undergraduate setting: Grade Point Average (GPA) or the perceived “prestige” of the University attended. To classify what is considered “prestigious” and non- “prestigious”, I used rankings from the U.S News Best Colleges Rankings to classify the University of California campuses onto two separate tiers based on these rankings. I implement a survey on Amazon Mechanical Turk, in which subjects are asked whether they would prefer to hire a job candidate with a higher GPA from a lower tier university versus a job candidate with a lower GPA from a higher tier university. Using this survey data, I find that subjects have a strong preference for candidates with higher GPA. This preference still holds when including respondents that have hiring experience. The implications are that individuals will re-evaluate their preferences when applying to a university.

Author(s): Rodriguez, Oriana | Abstract: This paper focuses on the relationship between theupbringing of first-generation Americans andimmigrants, and how their cultural ties influencedtheir political philosophy or ideology. I willexplore different factors such as how an individual'sideology contrasts with their parents. Thestudy mostly focused on students from the Universityof California, Merced (UC Merced), andpeople who are physically and financially independent.Factors such as age, gender, politicalparty affiliation, political philosophy, and countryof origin or country of parents’ origin wereconsidered in this study. While there is an emphasison students of Latino or Hispanic origin,other backgrounds like Asian ethnic groups were alsoconsidered. Students of Asian ethnicbackgrounds were relevant in this study as they similarlywent through periods of assimilation toWestern culture. This paper also compares my findingsto the conclusions of Uhlaner a Garcia’s(2016) essay on Latino partisan preference, Sapiro’s(2004) study on how socializationnaffectspolitical identity, and Kinefuchi’s (2010) researchon how assimilation affects political and socialattachments. This paper looks at how parental influence,or the lack thereof, leads to thedevelopment of their children’s political views whileminding sociocultural and socioeconomicfactors.

摘要:本文主要研究第一代美国人与移民的成长关系，以及他们的文化纽带如何影响他们的政治哲学或意识形态。我将探索不同的因素，比如个人的思想与父母的不同。这项研究主要针对加州大学默塞德分校的学生，以及身体和经济独立的人。在这项研究中，年龄、性别、政党、政治哲学、原籍国或父母的原籍国等因素都被考虑在内。虽然重点是拉丁裔或西班牙裔学生，但其他背景，如亚洲族裔也被考虑在内。亚洲种族背景的学生在这项研究中是相关的，因为他们同样经历了同化西方文化的时期。本文还将我的发现与Uhlaner a Garcia(2016)关于拉丁裔党派偏好的文章、Sapiro(2004)关于社会化如何影响政治认同的研究以及Kinefuchi(2010)关于同化如何影响政治和社会依恋的研究的结论进行了比较。本文着眼于父母的影响，或缺乏影响，如何导致他们的孩子的政治观点的发展，同时提醒社会文化和社会经济因素。本文将考虑社会化和政治哲学的知识如何影响2020年美国总统大选期间的政治运动等时事。

I willexplore different factors such as how an individual'sideology contrasts with their parents. Thestudy mostly focused on students from the Universityof California, Merced (UC Merced), andpeople who are physically and financially independent.Factors such as age, gender, politicalparty affiliation, political philosophy, and countryof origin or country of parents’ origin wereconsidered in this study. While there is an emphasison students of Latino or Hispanic origin,other backgrounds like Asian ethnic groups were alsoconsidered. Students of Asian ethnicbackgrounds were relevant in this study as they similarlywent through periods of assimilation toWestern culture. This paper also compares my findingsto the conclusions of Uhlaner a Garcia’s(2016) essay on Latino partisan preference, Sapiro’s(2004) study on how socializationnaffectspolitical identity, and Kinefuchi’s (2010) researchon how assimilation affects political and socialattachments. This paper looks at how parental influence,or the lack thereof, leads to thedevelopment of their children’s political views whileminding sociocultural and socioeconomicfactors.
