Passing Time
… can regain our composure. The ceramic vessels in Passing Time are about those moments in between, like the space between musical notes they are essential to our understanding and being. This body of work represents the building and maintaining of relationships, the welcoming space of home and …

Just Passing Through
In Just Passing Through, two estranged brothers are forced to set aside their differences when their teenage sister, Mariel, goes missing. Their odyssey takes them below the surface of a nostalgic country tableau and into the violent underworld of their hometown. Over the course of their journey, …

Adequacy of minimum passing sight distances for completing or aborting the passing maneuver
Overtaking and passing maneuvers on two-lane rural roads is still one of the most complex situations drivers are faced with in everyday driving. In passing, drivers must judge the speed, acceleration and deceleration capabilities of their own vehicle, that of the impeding vehicle and the speed and …

A Train Passing Over Water
A Train Passing Over Water, a novel by Margaret A. D'Amico, takes place in southern Italy between 1917 and 1920, during and just after the First World War. Train is the first story in a trilogy spanning four generations. It follows three years in the life of Nunzia, seventeen year-old daughter of …

Scalable collective message-passing algorithms
Governments, universities, and companies expend vast resources building the top supercomputers. The processors and interconnect networks become faster, while the number of nodes grows exponentially. Problems of scale emerge, not least of which is collective performance. This thesis identifies and …

Support for Send-and-Receive Based Message-Passing for the Single-Chip Message-Passing Architecture
… and MPI have made send-and-receive based message-passing the most popular programming model for distributed memory architectures. This thesis explores modifying the Single-Chip Message-Passing (SCMP) architecture to more efficiently support send-and-receive based message-passing. The proposed …

Message passing algorithms - methods and applications
… of algorithms that employ some kind of message passing over the connections in a graph, the work in this dissertation will consider belief propagation and gossip consensus algorithms. We begin by considering the marginalization problem on factor graphs, which is often solved or approximated with …

Fast and generic concurrent message-passing
… of clusters and supercomputers. Message passing model and the Message-Passing Interface (MPI) is a widely used model of communications in the High-Performance Computing (HPC) community with great success. However, it has recently faced new challenges due to the emergence of many-core …

Approximate Message Passing for Matrix Regression
Approximate message passing (AMP) algorithms have become popular in various structured high-dimensional statistical problems. Previous AMP algorithms for generalized linear models (GLM) typically require the signal to be in the form of a vector, and the design matrix to have independent and …

Message passing in a factored OS
… system processes that communicate with message passing rather than shared memory. This microkernel-based design has the potential for better performance and more efficient use of architectural resources. This is because each isolated address space can be scheduled on a separate dedicated core - …

Message passing: How software engineers use talk.
In this thesis I present software engineering as a social process in which programmers work together to create technical solutions. I propose that the social structures which developers create and within which they work provide the foundations from which they are able to collaborate to build …

Performing Queer-Femininities: Passing, Playing, and Camp
<p>My dissertation research examines the tensions in queer feminine expressions within the queer community, as femininity is a contentious site of both restriction and liberation. While femininity is often seen as disempowered, artificial, and a replication of heteropatriarchal culture, I argue …

PASSING AS JEWISH: THE MATERIAL CONSEQUENCES OF RACE AND THE PROPERTY OF WHITENESS IN LATE TWENTIETH-CENTURY PASSING NOVELS
This thesis discusses passing and performing as Jewish in Mona in the Promised Land by Gish Jen, Caucasia by Danzy Senna, and The Human Stain by Philip Roth. In the introduction, I provide historical background on the development of the concept of race, Jewish American assimilation, and racial …

Passing the buck: federalism and Canadian environmental policy
This thesis examines how the current division of federal and provincial responsibilities for environmental policy in Canada evolved, and the implications of that arrangement for protection of the environment. At a theoretical level, the example of environmental protection is used to explore the …

Message Passing Algorithms for Statistical Estimation and Communication
… belief propagation (BP) and Approximate Message Passing (AMP), are developed for these problems. We first consider matrix sketching, where the goal is to recover an *n*<sub>1</sub> x *n*<sub>2</sub> low-rank matrix with *k*-sparse singular vectors from a small number of linear measurements …
