Stealing Fire
The poems that make up this collection tend to play with what is one of the oldest concepts to exist, transition. This collection attempts to demonstrate the experiences that generate the pressures required; such as light and dark, quiet and cacophony, and other binaries that co-exist and, in doing …

Stealing Home
This is a fictional account of a family's mental illness which reflects the larger problem of society as a whole. Employing a modernist/postmodernist approach, the author hopes to illuminate the problem, break down stereotypes and call attention to the stigmas and taboos surrounding mental illness. …

Continuation Stealing in Julia
Work stealing schedulers are widely used by parallel programming platforms to distribute tasks across multiple processors. Memory blowup from scheduling a program with work stealing can be bounded by using continuation stealing when new tasks are spawned. Continuation stealing is opposed to child …

Optimizing work stealing algorithms with scheduling constraints
… has gained popularity in conjunction with work-stealing schedulers. Random work-stealing schedulers have been shown to effectively perform dynamic load balancing, yielding provably-efficient schedules and space bounds on shared-memory architectures with uniform memory models. However, the advent …

Bounds on multithreaded computations by work stealing
… Leiserson [6] gave the first provably good work-stealing work scheduler for multithreaded computations with dependencies. Their scheduler executes a fully strict (i.e., wellstructured) computation on P processors in expected time [mathematical formula], where T denotes the minimum serial …

Dynamic processor allocation for adaptively parallel work-stealing jobs
TCP's burstiness is usually regarded as harmful, or at best, inconvenient. Instead, this thesis suggests a new perspective and examines whether TCP's burstiness is useful for certain applications. It claims that burstiness can be harnessed to insulate traffic from packet reordering caused by route …

Stealing, scavenging, or storing? Breeding behaviors of unisexual Ambystoma salamanders
<p>The unisexual <em>Ambystoma</em> salamander complex is a lineage of all-female salamanders that use a unique form of reproduction: kleptogenesis. Kleptogenesis requires sperm from male salamanders of co-occurring sexual species, potentially putting unisexual and sexual females in breeding …

Provably efficient randomized work stealing with first-class parallel loops
… and execution time in randomized work stealing. In particular, two versions of LoopFrames are presented: 1-D LoopFrame and an extension to multi-dimensional (M-D) LoopFrame, for non-nested and nested parallel loops, respectively. This paper mainly contributes the theoretical analysis on …

Design and Implementation of a Nonblocking Randomized Work Stealing Scheduler
… (Free of Locks, Cilk is Now), a nonblocking work-stealing runtime scheduler that supports Cilk multithreaded programming. The existing OpenCilk runtime system uses lock-based synchronization and thus suffers from lock contention, does not provide progress guarantees, and can experience performance …

Stealing Empire : debates about global capital, counter-culture, technology and intellectual property
This thesis examines the agency of marginalised subjects in the context of global capitalism and the information age. The key question that is addressed is whether transnational corporations have appropriated aspects of cultural identity, creative expression and technological innovation for their …

Horse-Stealing and Man-Hanging: An Examination of Vigilantism in the Missouri Ozarks
<p>The purpose of this thesis is to determine what factors did or did not have an impact on the formation of the Slickers, the Regulators, and the Sons of Honor, three vigilante organizations that formed in the Missouri Ozarks during the nineteenth century. Primary source documents indicate that …

A Work-Stealing For Dynamic Workload Balancing On CPU-GPU Heterogeneous Computing Platforms
… processors. In this thesis, we propose a work-stealing framework to overcome such problems. Our proposed framework allows cpu and gpu threads to steal tasks from each other as well as within the same device by leveraging fine-grained data sharing and thread communication feature available on …

WHEN STEALING TIME AT WORK SEEMS JUSTIFIED: THE INFLUENCE OF ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE ON TIME BANDITRY
<p> Interest in the study of time banditry at work is relatively new to researchers. Existing research on this phenomenon has focused primarily on antecedents to the time banditry relationship, such as personality and organizational justice (Brock, Martin, & Buckley, 2013). This study further …

An investigation of the possibilities of finding adequate techniques of therapy for use in cases of stealing-behaviour in children
Aim: To investigate the problem of stealing-behaviour in children with a view to developing a system of therapy based on the laws of learning as presented by Clark Hull. The nature of the problem: Stealing behaviour in the child is considered to be a symptom of some underlying causal condition. …

Improving the Performance of Parallel Loops in OpenCilk
… and contributes an extension to randomized work-stealing for first-class loop support that reduces scheduling overheads. Randomized work-stealing schedulers traditionally execute parallel-for loops using parallel divide-and-conquer recursion, which is theoretically efficient and scalable but can …

Worst-Case Timing Analysis of Concurrently Executing DMA I/O and Programs
A cycle-stealing DMA I/O task is allowed to proceed only when the CPU does not need the system bus. As a result, the execution time of a cycle-stealing DMA I/O task is affected by a set of CPU tasks which execute concurrently with the I/O task. We discuss the problem of bounding the WCET of a …

Food theft by deceptive alarm calls in the fork-tailed drongo
… gleaned small insects, or followed other species stealing large terrestrial prey that hosts excavated. Stealing food from other species enabled drongos to capture prey otherwise unavailable to them and accounted for over 20% of their biomass intake. This was of greatest benefit during the morning …
