Gender Roles In Thread Hell
Introduction Ito Jigoku, which also known as Thread Hell, was the most well–known theatre plays
from Kishida Rio. Through this play, Kishida invited the audience to explore and think about the
meaning of "home", "nation" and the gender role problems existed in the reality of Japan. The story
happens in the time during the Fifteen–Year War, 1939, with a silk mill called Thread–and–Yarn
Store existing as the main stage. A girl called Mayu is searching for a home and a mother. Following
the male recruiters, she arrived at the Thread–and–Yarn Store, the place where she eventually found
and killed her mother. There, Mayu also finds that she and the other women are being controlled by
the male owner, Nawa, and the male recruiters. After realised that her real enemy is not her mother,
but the males in the factory, Mayu cut the thread that ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Maternal role is heavily stressed in the play, so as the effects of patriarchy on the lives of women.
Mayu was aimed to find her mother, and the place called "home". In one of her lines, she
mentioned, "At the place called home, there is Mother" (Kishida, 1984). From this line, we can see
that Mayu relates home to mother, they are two inseparable concepts. This setting is in line with the
real expectation from the Japanese society that women should be a "good wives, wise mothers"
since 1898 (Anderson, 2009). The prime minister at that period, Tojo Hideki, also said the similar
idea that the best duty for women is to stay at home and manage the family nicely so that men can
work on the front lines for the country (Havens, 1975). Japanese society depicts mothers figure is
the centre of a household and they should responsible for raising children as the future citizens.
Such ideal mothers are expected to become the role model for their daughter, and the cycle

Nt1330 Final Paper
Consider the following preemptive priority–scheduling algorithm based on dynamically changing
priorities. Larger priority numbers indicate higher priority (e.g., priority 3 is higher priority than
priority 1; priority 0 is higher priority than priority –1, etc.). When a process is waiting for the CPU
in the ready queue, its priority changes at the rate of  per unit of time; when it is running, its
priority changes at the rate of  per unit of time. All processes are assigned priority 0 when they
enter the ready queue. Answer the following questions:
(a) What is the scheduling algorithm that results when     0? Explain.
(b) What is the scheduling algorithm that results when     0? Explain.

For calculating the CPU time of a process in the recent past, a time window of size t is maintained
and the recent CPU time used by a process at time T is calculated as the sum of the CPU times used
by the process between time T and T– t. It is argued that this particular scheduling algorithm (a) will
favor I/O–bound processes, and (b) will not permanently starve CPU–bound processes. Do you
agree/disagree with (a) and (b)? Explain.
Q.3 [10 marks] Consider a variant of the round robin (RR) scheduling algorithm in which the entries
in the ready queue are pointers to the Process Control Blocks (PCBs), rather than the PCBs. A
malicious user wants to take advantage and somehow, through a security loophole in the system,
manages to put two pointers to the PCB of his/her process with the intention that it can run twice as
much. Explain what serious consequence(s) it could have if the (malicious) intention goes
undetected by the OS.

The output of LINE A will be
PARENT : value = 5
Because child only updates its copy of value. When the control returns to the parent, its value will
remain 5.
Short–term: main objective of short–term scheduler is to increase system performance. It is the
change of ready state to running state of the process.
Medium–term: it removes the processes from the memory, then reinstates them later to continue
running.
Long–term: primary objective of long term scheduler is to provide a balanced mix of jobs, such as
I/O bound and processor bound. It controls the degree of multiprogramming.
A primary difference is in the frequency of their execution. The short–term scheduler must select a
new process often. Long–term is used less often.

How do they differ from those used when a process is created?
Answer: Thread does not require new resources to execute. Creating a process requires allocating a
process control block (PCB), a rather large data structure. The PCB includes a memory map, list of
open files, and environment variables. Allocating and managing the memory map is typically the
most time–consuming activity. Creating either a user or kernel thread involves allocating a small
data structure to hold a register set, stack, and priority.
Busy waiting is a technique in which a process repeatedly checks to see if a condition is true without
getting the processor time. While a process is in its critical section, any other process that tries to
enter its critical section must loop continuously to get the critical section. This will make the process
eat CPU (usually). That is just busy for waiting the processor time. Busy waiting cannot be avoided
altogether. High priority processes and time critical functions will actually use a busy waiting
algorithm with the expectation that the wait will be no longer than a few

Summary: An Invisible Thread
Recently I read your story, An Invisible Thread, and found it filled with emotional and interesting
parts. Those evoked some reaction along with questions and comments I had while reading. Also,
you made certain writer's craft decisions, which I found very enthralling. I felt that the most
interesting part occurred in the first page of the chapter, Spare Change. Maurice asked you for
spare change, but you walked right by him, as if he wasn't there. But then, just a few yards past
him, I stopped. And then I came back (1). I was stunned by the decision, because usually when you
walked pass panhandlers, you don't come back. But, you came back and gave him more than he

You described Maurice's question part of the clatter, like a car horn or someone yelling for a cab
(1). This shows me that you didn't really care about him because you thought that he was just
another pan handler. This was a clever decision, because this help develop how close you two have
become. You two were completely strangers until you decided to change his life in a way he would
have never imagined. However, I felt you ended the book in a way which I found moving. You
ended the book by saying how Maurice got the dining table he dreamed of and you, sat down at the
table and had dinner with my family (225). I think this makes your memoir end in a jovial way.
This is because you started with Maurice living on the streets and potentially walking down the
wrong path. However now, Maurice had met his dream of owning his own big table, and had a
family to take care. This shows that you had accomplished your goal of making Maurice a better
person. For example, now he serves as a mentor in the community and he is starting a volunteer
group for disadvantaged children. You have found the good in Maurice, which is something that

As stated above, BGC is done after a resource is hired. Now an unverified resource is there in the
company which directly alarms security issues if that resource is found to be fraud or have a
criminal background. Several problems hits when a BGC is done after hiring, some of which are:
a) An unidentified resource is in the company which alarms security.
b) No one is sure if the resource is having the proper education criteria which s/he has shown.
c) A resource is to be paid for the time s/he is on bench when he is unbilled by the client which hits
direct cost of the company.
d) A resource is using space, water, electricity without getting billed.
e) A resource is not even getting trained and allowed to sit idle.
These are certain issues which no company can ignore as if they fail, it will compromise with the
reputation of the company. Although, several measures has been taken to train the employee while
BGC is conducted which will at least reduce the time to get a resource to properly indulge into a

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Round Robin Schedulinging...
1. INTRODUCTION
An operating system is an interface between the user of the computer and the computer hardware.
The main purpose of the operating system is to provide user an environment where he can run the
programs in the efficient manner. CPU is considered to be the heart of the system so it should be
effectively used. Improper use of CPU can reduce the system's efficiency. Hence processes are been
continuously running in the CPU to make it more efficient and have maximum utilization. The topic
we have chosen is enhanced round robin scheduling. There is a reason for selecting round robin
scheduling as it a very fair scheduling that gives equal time quantum to all process. This is the major
advantage over all other scheduling algorithms. In operating system multi–programming is a major
issue. The main aim is to run several processes ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This major drawback in Round Robin scheduling. Due to this system performance is degraded.
More number of Context switches are been used. This leads to wastage of memory and time , and
also leads to scheduler overhead.
Due to this more number of Context switches ,Throughput is also very low.
Due to all this disadvantages the existing Round Robin Scheduling algorithm is made unfit for the
present real time systems. So these drawbacks are being limited in the proposed system. The Round
Robin scheduling is sensitive to the time quantum. The following two cases arise for scheduling

If the time quantum is too small then the Round Robin scheduling becomes Processor sharing

Scheduling In Ant Colony
3.3 Scheduling in Ant Colony
CPU scheduling is the basis of multiprogrammed operating systems. By switching the CPU among
processes, the operating system can make the computer more productive.
In a single–processor system, only one process can run at a time; any others must wait until the CPU
is free and can be rescheduled. The objective of multiprogramming is to have some process running
at all times, to maximize CPU utilization. The idea is relatively simple. A process is executed until it
must wait, typically for the completion of some I/O request. In a simple computer system, the CPU
then just sits idle. All this waiting time is wasted; no useful work is accomplished. With
multiprogramming, we try to use this time productively. Several processes are kept in memory at
one time. When one process has to wait, the operating system takes the CPU away from that process
and gives the CPU to another process. This pattern continues. Every time one process has to wait,
another process can take over use of the CPU. Scheduling of this kind is a fundamental operating–
system function [18].
Scheduling problems play a central role in ACO research, and many different types of scheduling
problems have been attacked with ACO algorithms (see table 2 [1]) The performance, however,
varies across problems. For some problems, such as the single–machine total ... Show more content

Garden Threads
Garden hoses are very basic items that nearly all homeowners and gardeners need yet very little
attention is usually paid to them. Going to the local discount store and buying the cheapest one may

feet or merely 15 feet? Of course they come in many different lengths, and you can connect them

Summary Of The Book 'An Invisible Thread'
Your book An Invisible Thread was very inspiring and a heartwarming story of a friendship that has
reached thirty years and brought life to an over–scheduled professional and hope to a hungry and
desperate boy. When you first met Maurice on a New York City street corner, you had no idea that
you were standing on the edge of an incredible and unlikely friendship that would naturally change
both your lives. As one lunch at McDonald's with Maurice turns into two, then into a weekly
occurrence, you learn heart–wrenching details about Maurice's dreadful childhood. Scattered
throughout the book is also your own story of your tempestuous childhood. Every now and then,
something about Maurice's struggles reminds you of your past, how your father's alcohol–induced
rages shaped the person you became and led you to Maurice. As your friendship grows, you offer
Maurice simple experiences he comes to treasure: learning how to set a table, trimming a Christmas

Thread lift is a new non–aesthetic remedy, originating in Asia and has been used for many years
now in the world. This treatment does not require complicated surgical operations, the whole
procedure is done by local anesthesia. Even dressings do not need to be used after surgery, while the
recovery time is only 2–3 days. The main principle of this method is to use PDO (polydioxanone),
hair–thin, implanted under the skin in appropriate directions to stimulate collagen production,
firming the skin. Only PDO made 100% from bio–material and used in health care long ago.

for other tasks that urgently need those resources. Also the system have to handle different level of
priorities of interrupts.(Yerraballi,R. 2000)

In some scheduling algorithms such as (EDF)the deadline is converted to priority levels. Then we
can control priorities by controlling the deadlines.Although such an approach is error prone,
nonetheless it is employed for lack of a better solution(Buttazzo, 2005).

The Operating System Linux
3. Linux
3.1 Introduction:
The operating system Linux is an open source version of UNIX [6]. In 1992 [8] Linus Torvalds,
who was a computer science student –at the University of Helsinki– [6], was the one who started
this operating system.
Linux is used on variety of hardware (e.g. on workstations, mid–and high–end servers and on
gadgets), which makes it unique [6]. Linux keeps maintaining its position in the market due to the
hard work of both employees and volunteers [6].
Previously, UNIX systems used batch jobs, which run a process until it is finished and then the next
process will run [8]. What UNIX used is known as non–preemptive scheduling [8]. After years,
preemptive scheduling was used to run processes in parallel by switching between them [8].
3.2 Scheduling Technique: Linux scheduler is based on Time–Sharing Scheduling technique [7],
which means It can effectively schedule tasks that have strict timing requirements. The CPU is
divided into small sections, which allows many process to run simultaneously [7]. Time–sharing
depends on timer interrupts [7].
3.2 Scheduling Priorities:
The priority ranges differ for real– time tasks and normal tasks in Linux scheduler [1]. In real–time
tasks: priorities vary from 0 to 99. In normal tasks: processes' priorities range from 100 to 139.
Processes who have higher priorities are numerically lower than others [1].

Motherhood, the Needle and Thread
Think of one person you can turn to for advice, expect love and warmth from, or tell you who you
should be dating. In most cases one's mother or a mother figure would spring into their minds.
Motherhood is and underlying theme that affects all characters in both Persepolis and A Thousand
Splendid Suns. Essentially, it highlights the unfair treatment directed towards women in their
countries. During the course of both novels all women, even those who were not mothers, are
burdened with the strict morals imposed upon them. For instance, Marjane had issues with staying
true to herself and Laila had difficulties with raising her daughter Aziza and son Zalmai. These
religious and governmental restrictions enforced upon women by men facilitated in painting a clear
portrayal of sacrifice, strength and love that women and mothers needed to attain in order to survive.
Despite the prevalence of a masculine dominant society, the true importance of motherhood and
femininity prevails; binding the novels Persepolis and A Thousand Splendid Suns. Relative to both
novels, motherhood can be assigned an all–encompassing definition. Motherhood is the feeling of
warmth, cultural memory, and freedom; it is willing to sacrifice anything for the betterment of the
child. One does not have to physically bare an offspring to be considered a mother. To embrace the
characteristics of motherhood means presenting ultimate love and affection and using complete
agency when raising the child. Maternity

The Operating System ( Os )
The operating system (OS) has two view–points it provides services to:

User view: From user point of view operating system should be convenient and easy to use and

services provided by the operating system that are designed for easy to use computer system.
a) Program Execution: The major purpose of the operating system is to allow the user to execute
programs easily. The operating system provides an environment where users can conveniently run
or execute programs and as well as able to end programs. Running programs involves memory
management (the allocation and de–allocation memory), device management, processor ... Show

sensors, motion detectors etc.). Almost all programs require some sort of input and produces output.
This involves the use of I/O operations. The operating system hides the low level hardware
communication for I/O operations from the user. User only specifies device and the operation to
perform, and only see that I/O has been performed (i.e. choosing one of the printer in office for
printing service). For security and efficiency, user level programs cannot control I/O operations.
Therefore, the operating system must facilitate these services.
System view: From a system point of view operating system should allocate resources (use system
hardware) in a fair and efficient manner. This includes algorithms for CPUs scheduling and avoiding
deadlocks etc. Following are two services for system hardware.
a) Resource Allocation: Modern computers are capable of running multiple programs and can be
used by multiple users at the same time. Resources allocation/management is the dynamic allocation
and de–allocation by the operating system of (hardware) including processors, memory pages, and
various types of bandwidth to the computation that compete for those resources. Operating system
kernel, in which all these functions, algorithms and services reside, is in charge of taking care of
resource allocation. The objective is to allocate resources so as to optimise responsiveness subject to

A Twitch Upon The Thread
The second book of Evelyn Waugh's book Brideshead Revisited is, significantly, entitled A Twitch
Upon the Thread. The meaning of this title reflects on many characters in this book, but
particularly on Charles Ryder, the narrator and main character. In Book I of this novel the characters
generally become more and more distanced from their faith. Book II is entitled A Twitch Upon the
Thread because this is when Charles and other characters start to find their faith again and get
pulled back into Catholicism, like an unseen hook and an invisible line which is long enough to let
him wander to the ends of the world and still to bring him back (Waugh 220). For most of the novel
it is clear that Charles is agnostic. Not until the second book and ending do we see Charles slowly
start his conversion from agnosticism to Catholicism. We do know, however, that Charles was
taken to church weekly as a child (85), so this recent discovery of Catholicism is really a return to
God. As the character Cordelia says in an argument with Charles while discussing her father and
sibling's loss of religion, God won't let them go for long (220). In other words, the twitch upon
the thread is inevitable. Charles slowly starts his conversion when he sees Lord Marchmain (also
an agnostic) while dying accepts his last sacrament. Then in the Epilogue, Charles makes it apparent
that he is in fact a Catholic when he discusses the candle that stays lit, which refers to the candle

Quinte Mri Essay
Quinte MRI Executive Summary Brenton–Cooper Medical Centre (BCMC) has outsourced its MRI
operations to Quinte MRI, a seasoned and highly recognized MRI service provider. Unfortunately,
after six weeks of operations Quinte MRI's leased MRI machine is not meeting its expected outputs
as projected and is causing concern to both Quinte MRI and BCMC which has begun to lose
revenue via referrals away from its clinic. Further, BCMC's reputation is now at risk which could
result in additional loses to the centre. The root cause of the problem appears to lie with the
scheduling of the scanning operations. Dr. Syed Haider, the owner of Quinte MRI, has tasked his
business development coordinators with finding a solution to this problem and ... Show more

Each scan may have different times associated with it depending on the type to be performed,
limiting the capacity of the overall process. Each step in the scanning process is dependent upon the
previous one therefore improvements need to start at the beginning. The objective here is to improve
the process flow up to the point that the actual scan will take place. I also believe that patients are
not being properly screened prior to arrival which is causing Quinte MRI losses in revenue and
time. If a patient turns up and has to be turned away, or rescheduled for misdiagnosis there is a
resulting disruption in the flow of patients which will impact the schedule and process and
ultimately the pocket and reputation of the company. Further, it appears that the technologist is
engaged in performing pre–screening services and this is a highly paid employee who should not be
pre–screening patients. This tasked could best be left to a lower paid trained staff. From an
operational perspective it appears that the initial implementation process of the new machine had a
learning curve. This resulted in longer lead times for processing patients during the first few weeks
until Jeff had found a rhythm. It appears that Jeff was either not properly trained or did not have
sufficient experience in the use of that model machine. Communication, and barriers to, seems to be
a fundamental problem in the whole scanning process.

A. How should the Cash Flows be valued for 2008–2012?
The calculation of each cash flow required us to use the projections from AirThread Connections
that are given in the Exhibit 1 of the case allowing us to know the Total Revenue, EBITDA, EBIT
and the Unlevered Net Income to be able to compute the Unleveraged Cash Flow (UFCF) from
2008–2012.
As well we used Depreciation  Amortization, Capital Expenditures and the assumptions
established in AirThread Connections Exhibit 1 case to make the adjustments that Working Capital

The recommendation that AirThread Connections value to debt ratio would not be exceeding 50.0%
was an important factor so it was logical to use an industry average for value to debt ratio which is
30.3% given in the Exhibit 7 of the case. The next assumption we made was that our risk free rate
would be equal to the current 30 years which is 3.10 %. Competitors Unlevered Asset Beta
The Cost of Equity is not given so to calculate it, we needed to use the Capital Asset Pricing Model
(CAPM) but we were lacking the average industry beta. Meaning we had to obtain it by calculating
each competitor's unlevered beta and averaging them to obtain the overall beta.
Unlevered Asset Beta | Equity Beta | (Industry Average) | (Used for CAPM) | 0.8 | 1.15 |
Weighted Average Cost of Capital
Assuming that the AirThread Connection's ratios for the upcoming years will be similar to that of its
competitors we used the industry average.
Debt | Cost of Equity | Debt | Cost of Debt | WACC | Equity | | Value | | | 46.80% | 8.83% | 30.30% |
5.50% | 5.13% |
WACC = [(46.8 x 8.83) + (30.30 x 5.50 x ( 1 – .40)) = 5.13%

the preliminary design for the company's production process will be required in order to make key
policy decisions, including what prices to charge, what equipment to order and how many orders to

This would introduce inefficiency into the process and most likely impact receipt of future orders.
v) We need to consider business strategy: will the process capacity be higher if Kristen offers only
non–customized cookies of one type? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this alternative
strategy compared to what Kristen now plans?
The process capacity will not change in the short term if Kristen offers only non–customized
cookies. The case study makes it clear that the process that Kristen follows requires specific
amounts of time to be spent at each step. However, in the long term, Kristen's capacity will increase
as she becomes more adept at making the one type of cookie she has elected to make. This will
reduce the time required at some of the process steps (but not necessarily all) and ultimately
increase the output capacity her and her roommate are able to achieve.
Pros of non–customized cookies:
Time spent shopping will be reduced, as will overall variability in price of ingredients.
Kristen and her roommate will become more efficient due to standardization
They will become much better at making one type of cookie rather than many; total flow time will

One of the main characteristics of the system is its decimal nature; therefore, the conversion
between smaller and larger units is made by moving the decimal point to the left of right. The SI
system of units (Systeme International d'Unites), developed from the metric system, and has been
defined and recommended as the system of choice for scientific use worldwide. The primary units in
the SI system which are of interest to the motor mechanic are as follows: QUANTITY UNIT
SYMBOL Length Meter m Mass Kilogram kg Capacity Litre l Temperature Degree Celsius oC
Temperature Degree Kelvin K Time Second s Force Newton N Heat Joule j Power Watt w 4.0
Derived Units Derived units are those which can be expressed in terms of the primary units so as to
provide more units to work with. There is a primary unit for length, but not for area or volume,
however, it is possible to derive units for area and volume from the primary units. Any area is
measured as the products of two lengths. It can be said that an area has the dimensions of (length)
x (breadth) and so is measured in squared units. Area = length x breadth and if the length of each of
these is given in meters, then, area = m x m = m2 so the derived unit for area is the square meter
which is written m2. Another derived unit is that of volume which is expressed in cubic meters
written as m3 Volume = length x breadth x height; m x m x m = m3

Personal Narrative: 'An Invisible Thread'
What kind of life is one that is lived almost as if our contact has fallen out, and all you can see is a
blurry picture? Our perspective is the blurry picture. We can see that we are blessed, but we do not
see it clearly. Your memoir ,An Invisible Thread, opened my eyes to a perspective I had not ever

and realize just how privileged we truly are. We take what we have for granted and do not
appreciate it. We live in a world where we can get anything with little work, but we forget how
lucky we are to even have that. I know I do not appreciate the life I have half as much as I should.

The biggest reason why I would have never done something like that is sometimes we are not
drawn to that which is different from what we know and fear. Sometimes we are drawn to that

humiliation, etc. and let the fear take over our true potential. We all have the power to somehow
make the smallest difference in the world, but we fear the unknown. The story between you and
Maurice showed me that we should not let our fear or uncertainty take over the threads pulling you
toward somethings in life. We should give ourselves fully to the world, but we are too stuck into the
routines that we have learned to constantly tune out these things. Another part I found interesting is
how the invisible thread brought you two back together after a period of not speaking. You two truly

The Problems Of The Tableau Procedure
As we mentioned in the introduction section, one of the time problems related to the Tableau
procedure is checking if the branch is closed or not. The ordinary way for checking if a branch is
closed is known as highly time–cost process. We need an intelligent and simple way to construct
and check the branches. One way, is to use ordered branches (i.e. to put the negated predicates in the
branch first, and then not negated ones), but we still have a problem if the number of negated
elements is much greater than the not negated ones. The following scenario is possible in this case,
If we choose to check if the list contains neg X and X, if neg X is the last element in the negative
ones, and X is the last element in the not negated ones, we have to process all the elements of the
negated ones and in each time we process an element we start from the beginning of the list and
process the whole branch to check if its not negated element is exist. Of course, a lot of time is
consumed before tableau reaches neg X, and finds out that X is exist. branch. The third predicate
closed / 1 check the lists in the branch if the negative one is shorter than the positive on the
predicate checks if neg X is a member of the first list and X is a member of the second list;
otherwise it checks if X is in the positive list and neg
X in the negative one.
The fourth improvement, and the main idea of our implementation, is to use the multi–threading
approach in implementing the tableau procedure.

3.8) Scheduler: Scheduler in an operating system selects the next process to be admitted into the
system and next process to run. The three schedulers and their differences are as follows:–
Long Term Scheduler: Long term scheduler also known as job scheduler, selects the process or jobs
which are to be allowed to the ready queue in the main memory for execution. It decides what
processes are to be run on the system. Long term scheduling has much less frequency of execution.
The long term scheduler is responsible for controlling the degree of multiprogramming. Because of
longer periods between the executions, long term scheduler has an ability to take time in selecting
the process for execution. It is important to select an appropriate process. Generally processes can
be described as I/O bound or CPU bound. I/O bound spends more time in doing I/O operations
rather than other computations. CPU bound is contrast to I/O bound, which spends time doing all

Gender Roles In Thread Hell

  • 1. Gender Roles In Thread Hell Introduction Ito Jigoku, which also known as Thread Hell, was the most well–known theatre plays from Kishida Rio. Through this play, Kishida invited the audience to explore and think about the meaning of "home", "nation" and the gender role problems existed in the reality of Japan. The story happens in the time during the Fifteen–Year War, 1939, with a silk mill called Thread–and–Yarn Store existing as the main stage. A girl called Mayu is searching for a home and a mother. Following the male recruiters, she arrived at the Thread–and–Yarn Store, the place where she eventually found and killed her mother. There, Mayu also finds that she and the other women are being controlled by the male owner, Nawa, and the male recruiters. After realised that her real enemy is not her mother, but the males in the factory, Mayu cut the thread that ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Maternal role is heavily stressed in the play, so as the effects of patriarchy on the lives of women. Mayu was aimed to find her mother, and the place called "home". In one of her lines, she mentioned, "At the place called home, there is Mother" (Kishida, 1984). From this line, we can see that Mayu relates home to mother, they are two inseparable concepts. This setting is in line with the real expectation from the Japanese society that women should be a "good wives, wise mothers" since 1898 (Anderson, 2009). The prime minister at that period, Tojo Hideki, also said the similar idea that the best duty for women is to stay at home and manage the family nicely so that men can work on the front lines for the country (Havens, 1975). Japanese society depicts mothers figure is the centre of a household and they should responsible for raising children as the future citizens. Such ideal mothers are expected to become the role model for their daughter, and the cycle ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Nt1330 Final Paper Consider the following preemptive priority–scheduling algorithm based on dynamically changing priorities. Larger priority numbers indicate higher priority (e.g., priority 3 is higher priority than priority 1; priority 0 is higher priority than priority –1, etc.). When a process is waiting for the CPU in the ready queue, its priority changes at the rate of per unit of time; when it is running, its priority changes at the rate of per unit of time. All processes are assigned priority 0 when they enter the ready queue. Answer the following questions: (a) What is the scheduling algorithm that results when 0? Explain. (b) What is the scheduling algorithm that results when 0? Explain. Somebody proposed a CPU scheduling algorithm ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... For calculating the CPU time of a process in the recent past, a time window of size t is maintained and the recent CPU time used by a process at time T is calculated as the sum of the CPU times used by the process between time T and T– t. It is argued that this particular scheduling algorithm (a) will favor I/O–bound processes, and (b) will not permanently starve CPU–bound processes. Do you agree/disagree with (a) and (b)? Explain. Q.3 [10 marks] Consider a variant of the round robin (RR) scheduling algorithm in which the entries in the ready queue are pointers to the Process Control Blocks (PCBs), rather than the PCBs. A malicious user wants to take advantage and somehow, through a security loophole in the system, manages to put two pointers to the PCB of his/her process with the intention that it can run twice as much. Explain what serious consequence(s) it could have if the (malicious) intention goes undetected by the OS.

Short–term: main objective of short–term scheduler is to increase system performance. It is the change of ready state to running state of the process. Medium–term: it removes the processes from the memory, then reinstates them later to continue running. Long–term: primary objective of long term scheduler is to provide a balanced mix of jobs, such as I/O bound and processor bound. It controls the degree of multiprogramming. A primary difference is in the frequency of their execution. The short–term scheduler must select a new process often. Long–term is used less often. Answer: ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... How do they differ from those used when a process is created? Answer: Thread does not require new resources to execute. Creating a process requires allocating a process control block (PCB), a rather large data structure. The PCB includes a memory map, list of open files, and environment variables. Allocating and managing the memory map is typically the most time–consuming activity. Creating either a user or kernel thread involves allocating a small data structure to hold a register set, stack, and priority. Busy waiting is a technique in which a process repeatedly checks to see if a condition is true without getting the processor time. While a process is in its critical section, any other process that tries to enter its critical section must loop continuously to get the critical section. This will make the process eat CPU (usually). That is just busy for waiting the processor time. Busy waiting cannot be avoided altogether. High priority processes and time critical functions will actually use a busy waiting algorithm with the expectation that the wait will be no longer than a few ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 5. Summary: An Invisible Thread Recently I read your story, An Invisible Thread, and found it filled with emotional and interesting parts. Those evoked some reaction along with questions and comments I had while reading. Also, you made certain writer's craft decisions, which I found very enthralling. I felt that the most interesting part occurred in the first page of the chapter, Spare Change. Maurice asked you for spare change, but you walked right by him, as if he wasn't there. But then, just a few yards past him, I stopped. And then I came back (1). I was stunned by the decision, because usually when you walked pass panhandlers, you don't come back. But, you came back and gave him more than he asked for. You brought him to McDonald's and bought him food creating ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... You described Maurice's question part of the clatter, like a car horn or someone yelling for a cab (1). This shows me that you didn't really care about him because you thought that he was just another pan handler. This was a clever decision, because this help develop how close you two have become. You two were completely strangers until you decided to change his life in a way he would have never imagined. However, I felt you ended the book in a way which I found moving. You ended the book by saying how Maurice got the dining table he dreamed of and you, sat down at the table and had dinner with my family (225). I think this makes your memoir end in a jovial way. This is because you started with Maurice living on the streets and potentially walking down the wrong path. However now, Maurice had met his dream of owning his own big table, and had a family to take care. This shows that you had accomplished your goal of making Maurice a better person. For example, now he serves as a mentor in the community and he is starting a volunteer group for disadvantaged children. You have found the good in Maurice, which is something that made you two ...

  • 6. A Report On The Management System Section 2: Problem Explained As stated above, BGC is done after a resource is hired. Now an unverified resource is there in the company which directly alarms security issues if that resource is found to be fraud or have a criminal background. Several problems hits when a BGC is done after hiring, some of which are: a) An unidentified resource is in the company which alarms security. b) No one is sure if the resource is having the proper education criteria which s/he has shown. c) A resource is to be paid for the time s/he is on bench when he is unbilled by the client which hits direct cost of the company. d) A resource is using space, water, electricity without getting billed. e) A resource is not even getting trained and allowed to sit idle. These are certain issues which no company can ignore as if they fail, it will compromise with the reputation of the company. Although, several measures has been taken to train the employee while BGC is conducted which will at least reduce the time to get a resource to properly indulge into a project. A Better approach is needed because the above situations are such which impact direct cost of the company and it's not like that it can't be eliminated but necessary steps is to be taken to eliminate them which will reduce direct cost and increase gross margin. Thus a new approach is requires here which will analyze these issues in depth and propose a solution to eliminate them. To support this, let us talk in terms of revenue, cost and ...

  • 7. Advantages And Disadvantages Of Round Robin Schedulinging... 1. INTRODUCTION An operating system is an interface between the user of the computer and the computer hardware. The main purpose of the operating system is to provide user an environment where he can run the programs in the efficient manner. CPU is considered to be the heart of the system so it should be effectively used. Improper use of CPU can reduce the system's efficiency. Hence processes are been continuously running in the CPU to make it more efficient and have maximum utilization. The topic we have chosen is enhanced round robin scheduling. There is a reason for selecting round robin scheduling as it a very fair scheduling that gives equal time quantum to all process. This is the major advantage over all other scheduling algorithms. In operating system multi–programming is a major issue. The main aim is to run several processes ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This major drawback in Round Robin scheduling. Due to this system performance is degraded. More number of Context switches are been used. This leads to wastage of memory and time , and also leads to scheduler overhead. Due to this more number of Context switches ,Throughput is also very low. Due to all this disadvantages the existing Round Robin Scheduling algorithm is made unfit for the present real time systems. So these drawbacks are being limited in the proposed system. The Round Robin scheduling is sensitive to the time quantum. The following two cases arise for scheduling round robin algorithm If the time quantum is too small then the Round Robin scheduling becomes Processor sharing algorithm and hence Context Switches becomes high. If the time quantum is high then the Round Robin Scheduling becomes First Come First Serve algorithm. For every value of time quantum will have specific performance and will certainly affect the algorithm performance. The quantities which gets affect by this are Waiting time Turnaround time Number of Context switches Response ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. Scheduling In Ant Colony 3.3 Scheduling in Ant Colony CPU scheduling is the basis of multiprogrammed operating systems. By switching the CPU among processes, the operating system can make the computer more productive. In a single–processor system, only one process can run at a time; any others must wait until the CPU is free and can be rescheduled. The objective of multiprogramming is to have some process running at all times, to maximize CPU utilization. The idea is relatively simple. A process is executed until it must wait, typically for the completion of some I/O request. In a simple computer system, the CPU then just sits idle. All this waiting time is wasted; no useful work is accomplished. With multiprogramming, we try to use this time productively. Several processes are kept in memory at one time. When one process has to wait, the operating system takes the CPU away from that process and gives the CPU to another process. This pattern continues. Every time one process has to wait, another process can take over use of the CPU. Scheduling of this kind is a fundamental operating– system function [18]. Scheduling problems play a central role in ACO research, and many different types of scheduling problems have been attacked with ACO algorithms (see table 2 [1]) The performance, however, varies across problems. For some problems, such as the single–machine total ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The number of ants used for ACO is 100 and о│ = 0.7.

This treatment does not require complicated surgical operations, the whole procedure is done by local anesthesia. Even dressings do not need to be used after surgery, while the recovery time is only 2–3 days. The main principle of this method is to use PDO (polydioxanone), hair–thin, implanted under the skin in appropriate directions to stimulate collagen production, firming the skin. Only PDO made 100% from bio–material and used in health care long ago.

Also the system have to handle different level of priorities of interrupts.(Yerraballi,R. 2000) 7.2 Dynamic deadline identification: In some scheduling algorithms such as (EDF)the deadline is converted to priority levels.

In 1992 [8] Linus Torvalds, who was a computer science student –at the University of Helsinki– [6], was the one who started this operating system. Linux is used on variety of hardware (e.g. on workstations, mid–and high–end servers and on gadgets), which makes it unique [6]. Linux keeps maintaining its position in the market due to the hard work of both employees and volunteers [6]. Previously, UNIX systems used batch jobs, which run a process until it is finished and then the next process will run [8]. What UNIX used is known as non–preemptive scheduling [8]. After years, preemptive scheduling was used to run processes in parallel by switching between them [8]. 3.2 Scheduling Technique: Linux scheduler is based on Time–Sharing Scheduling technique [7], which means It can effectively schedule tasks that have strict timing requirements. The CPU is divided into small sections, which allows many process to run simultaneously [7]. Time–sharing depends on timer interrupts [7]. 3.2 Scheduling Priorities: The priority ranges differ for real– time tasks and normal tasks in Linux scheduler [1]. In real–time tasks: priorities vary from 0 to 99. In normal tasks: processes' priorities range from 100 to 139. Processes who have higher priorities are numerically lower than others [1]. Normal tasks are appointed priorities based on their nice ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 19. Motherhood, the Needle and Thread Think of one person you can turn to for advice, expect love and warmth from, or tell you who you should be dating. In most cases one's mother or a mother figure would spring into their minds. Motherhood is and underlying theme that affects all characters in both Persepolis and A Thousand Splendid Suns. Essentially, it highlights the unfair treatment directed towards women in their countries. During the course of both novels all women, even those who were not mothers, are burdened with the strict morals imposed upon them. For instance, Marjane had issues with staying true to herself and Laila had difficulties with raising her daughter Aziza and son Zalmai. These religious and governmental restrictions enforced upon women by men facilitated in painting a clear portrayal of sacrifice, strength and love that women and mothers needed to attain in order to survive. Despite the prevalence of a masculine dominant society, the true importance of motherhood and femininity prevails; binding the novels Persepolis and A Thousand Splendid Suns. Relative to both novels, motherhood can be assigned an all–encompassing definition. Motherhood is the feeling of warmth, cultural memory, and freedom; it is willing to sacrifice anything for the betterment of the child. One does not have to physically bare an offspring to be considered a mother. To embrace the characteristics of motherhood means presenting ultimate love and affection and using complete agency when raising the child. Maternity ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Almost all programs require some sort of input and produces output. This involves the use of I/O operations. The operating system hides the low level hardware communication for I/O operations from the user. User only specifies device and the operation to perform, and only see that I/O has been performed (i.e. choosing one of the printer in office for printing service). For security and efficiency, user level programs cannot control I/O operations. Therefore, the operating system must facilitate these services. System view: From a system point of view operating system should allocate resources (use system hardware) in a fair and efficient manner. This includes algorithms for CPUs scheduling and avoiding deadlocks etc. Following are two services for system hardware. a) Resource Allocation: Modern computers are capable of running multiple programs and can be used by multiple users at the same time. Resources allocation/management is the dynamic allocation and de–allocation by the operating system of (hardware) including processors, memory pages, and various types of bandwidth to the computation that compete for those resources.

  • 23. A Twitch Upon The Thread The second book of Evelyn Waugh's book Brideshead Revisited is, significantly, entitled A Twitch Upon the Thread. The meaning of this title reflects on many characters in this book, but particularly on Charles Ryder, the narrator and main character. In Book I of this novel the characters generally become more and more distanced from their faith. Book II is entitled A Twitch Upon the Thread because this is when Charles and other characters start to find their faith again and get pulled back into Catholicism, like an unseen hook and an invisible line which is long enough to let him wander to the ends of the world and still to bring him back (Waugh 220). For most of the novel it is clear that Charles is agnostic. Not until the second book and ending do we see Charles slowly start his conversion from agnosticism to Catholicism. We do know, however, that Charles was taken to church weekly as a child (85), so this recent discovery of Catholicism is really a return to God. As the character Cordelia says in an argument with Charles while discussing her father and sibling's loss of religion, God won't let them go for long (220). In other words, the twitch upon the thread is inevitable. Charles slowly starts his conversion when he sees Lord Marchmain (also an agnostic) while dying accepts his last sacrament. Then in the Epilogue, Charles makes it apparent that he is in fact a Catholic when he discusses the candle that stays lit, which refers to the candle that stays lit ...

Each scan may have different times associated with it depending on the type to be performed, limiting the capacity of the overall process. Each step in the scanning process is dependent upon the previous one therefore improvements need to start at the beginning. The objective here is to improve the process flow up to the point that the actual scan will take place. I also believe that patients are not being properly screened prior to arrival which is causing Quinte MRI losses in revenue and time. If a patient turns up and has to be turned away, or rescheduled for misdiagnosis there is a resulting disruption in the flow of patients which will impact the schedule and process and ultimately the pocket and reputation of the company. Further, it appears that the technologist is engaged in performing pre–screening services and this is a highly paid employee who should not be pre–screening patients. This tasked could best be left to a lower paid trained staff. From an operational perspective it appears that the initial implementation process of the new machine had a learning curve. This resulted in longer lead times for processing patients during the first few weeks until Jeff had found a rhythm.

This would introduce inefficiency into the process and most likely impact receipt of future orders. v) We need to consider business strategy: will the process capacity be higher if Kristen offers only non–customized cookies of one type? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this alternative strategy compared to what Kristen now plans? The process capacity will not change in the short term if Kristen offers only non–customized cookies. The case study makes it clear that the process that Kristen follows requires specific amounts of time to be spent at each step. However, in the long term, Kristen's capacity will increase as she becomes more adept at making the one type of cookie she has elected to make. This will reduce the time required at some of the process steps (but not necessarily all) and ultimately increase the output capacity her and her roommate are able to achieve.

  • 36. The Problems Of The Tableau Procedure As we mentioned in the introduction section, one of the time problems related to the Tableau procedure is checking if the branch is closed or not. The ordinary way for checking if a branch is closed is known as highly time–cost process. We need an intelligent and simple way to construct and check the branches. One way, is to use ordered branches (i.e. to put the negated predicates in the branch first, and then not negated ones), but we still have a problem if the number of negated elements is much greater than the not negated ones. The following scenario is possible in this case, If we choose to check if the list contains neg X and X, if neg X is the last element in the negative ones, and X is the last element in the not negated ones, we have to process all the elements of the negated ones and in each time we process an element we start from the beginning of the list and process the whole branch to check if its not negated element is exist. Of course, a lot of time is consumed before tableau reaches neg X, and finds out that X is exist. branch. The third predicate closed / 1 check the lists in the branch if the negative one is shorter than the positive on the predicate checks if neg X is a member of the first list and X is a member of the second list; otherwise it checks if X is in the positive list and neg X in the negative one.

It decides what processes are to be run on the system. Long term scheduling has much less frequency of execution. The long term scheduler is responsible for controlling the degree of multiprogramming. Because of longer periods between the executions, long term scheduler has an ability to take time in selecting the process for execution. It is important to select an appropriate process.

Nt1310 Unit 7 Homework 3.1) Output is 5 because in the child process value of the variable value is a copy of value(Unix assigns parent's address space of the variable and gives it to child) and when parent process gets back the control, value will still be 5. 3.8) Short term scheduler or CPU scheduler: selects a process from the processes (that are in memory) that are ready to execute and allocates the CPU to it. Medium term scheduler: It is an intermediate level of scheduling where in process is removed from memory (temporarily) to reduce the degree of multi programming and can be re introduced into memory later and execution of the process can be continued from where it is left off. Long term scheduler: It will be invoked only when a process leaves the system ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... C) mutex lock is better if the thread is put to sleep while holding the lock because in case of spinlock the thread will always try locking a spinlock if it is not successful which will take lot of CPU time and resources where as in case of mutex lock , it will allow to sleep during which other thread can run. 6.2) Preemptive scheduling allows a process to be invoked/disturbed in the middle of its execution by taking the CPU and assigning it to another process which is in queue where as in case of NonPreemptive scheduling, process will give up on CPU only when the current process is executed and finished. 6.10) I/O–bound projects have the property of performing just a little measure of computation before performing I/O. Such projects regularly don't use up their whole CPU quantum. Whereas, in case of CPU–bound projects, they utilize their whole quantum without performing any blocking I/O operations. Subsequently, one could greatly improve the situation utilization of the computer's assets by giving higher priority to I/O–bound projects and permit them to execute in front of the CPU– bound ...
