Exploit the Land, Exploit the People: The Treadmill of Production and Community Advocates for Farmworkers in Texas
The structure of the agricultural industry in the United States has changed significantly since World War II, with consequences for agricultural laborers. This study is framed by Schnaiberg's (1980) treadmill of production theory, using semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 16 community …

Tombusvirids Avoid and Exploit a Plant Exoribonuclease
… viral infections by either evading (CIRV) or exploiting (TNV-D) the activity of the cellular exoribonuclease, Xrn.

Detecting exploit patterns from network packet streams
… measurement has identified various patterns that exploits on today's Internet typically exhibit. However, there has not been any significant attempt, so far, to design algorithms with provable guarantees for detecting exploit patterns from network traffic packets. In this work, we develop and …

Automatic Exploit Generation for Cross-Language Attacks
… is an essential component of most computer exploits. At the same time, a significant portion of legacy system software is written in C/C++, which are known to be memory-unsafe. This has led to an arms race between attackers devising ever clever ways to execute memory corruption and …

Using program behaviour to exploit heterogeneous multi-core processors
… developers to write applications that can exploit an HMA, without the developer requiring in-depth knowledge of the HMA's design. This dissertation describes the development of a Java runtime system, called Hera-JVM, aimed at investigating this premise. Hera-JVM supports the execution of …

A System to Exploit Symmetry in Common Tensor Kernels
… thesis will identify and categorize methods to exploit symmetry in common and uncommon tensor kernels. We will depict a methodology to systematically generate and optimize symmetric code and will present a compiler in Julia that automates this process. Our symmetric implementation demonstrates …

Architectural support to exploit commutativity in shared-memory systems
… high costs of communication and synchronization. Exploiting commutativity has historically been a fruitful avenue to reduce traffic and serialization. This is because commutative operations produce the same final result regardless of the order they are performed in, and therefore can be processed …

Correlation indices : a new access method to exploit correlated attributes
… a single clustered index or sorted file. The CI exploits correlations between the key attribute of a clustered index and other unclustered attributes in the table. In order to predict when CIs will exhibit wins over alternative access methods, the thesis describes an analytical cost model that is …

Three essays on stock returns predictability and trading strategies to exploit it
… and emerging stock markets and attempt to exploit it via construction of appropriate trading strategies. The objectives of this research are: 1) to model mean reversion in developed stock markets and re-assess the mixed empirical findings to date; 2) to characterize the returns generating …

Bears and numbers : investigating whether short-sellers exploit accounting-based pricing anomalies
This paper examines whether short-sellers (bears) exploit post-earnings-announcement-drift (PEAD) and the accruals anomaly. I first find that short interest is higher during the period that follows a negative earnings surprise and, to a lesser extent, the announcement of earnings that contains an …

Nanoparticle systems that exploit host biology for diagnosis and treatment of disease
… quantified in the urine. These nanoparticles exploit the vascular transport of the circulatory system and the size filtration function of the renal system to emit reporters into the urine following proteolytic cleavage events. The reporter levels in the urine differentiate between healthy and …

ALFA-Chains: An Artificial Intelligence Approach to Exploit Chain Discovery in Networks
Exploit chains play a crucial role in advanced persistent threats (APTs) and other malicious cyber campaigns. Sophisticated attackers can navigate across a network, escalate their privileges, and compromise valuable targets by executing the right exploits in the right order. However, finding these …

A Compiler Framework to Support and Exploit Heterogeneous Overlapping-ISA Multiprocessor Platforms
… scaling by reducing power consumption through exploitation of specialized and simple cores within the same chip. Heterogeneous-core CPUs join fundamentally different processors each which their own peculiar features, i.e., fast execution time, improved power efficiency, etc; enabling the …

Practical Exploit Mitigation Design Against Code Re-Use and System Call Abuse Attacks
… usefulness or convenience. For example, an exploit mitigation design may be considered not practical to deploy if it imposes high performance overhead, despite offering excellent and robust security guarantees. This is because achieving hallmarks of practical design, such as minimizing …

Genomics approaches to exploit the biotechnological potential of marine sponge-derived Streptomyces spp. isolates
Members of the Streptomyces genus are widely known for their capability in producing compounds of pharmacological, clinical, and biotechnological interest, being the source of approximately a third of all the antibiotics that have been identified to date. However, the discovery of natural products …

Cavity Plasmonics - Exploring narrow-gap plasmonic coupled systems to boost, localize and exploit nanometric light -matter interaction
… explores different ways to boost, localize and exploit nanometric light-matter interactions in the NPoM configuration. Due to their large field enhancement reaching values of the order of 10^4 and mode volumes as small as 40 nm^3 they form a versatile sensing platform. A custom-built …

How common ravens (Corvus corax) exploit anthropogenic food sources through time and space in a semi-transformed, alpine environment
… to thrive in human transformed landscapes by exploiting these anthropogenic sources of food. The aim of this research was to investigate how raven individuals vary in their use of different AFSs through space and time. I used data from a long-term GPS tracking initiative in the Upper Austrian …
