  • Position-Dependent Codon Usage Bias in the Human Transcriptome

    Creator:
    Subramanian, Kaavya
    Abstract:
    All life depends on the reliable translation of RNA to protein according to complex interactions between translation machinery and RNA sequence features. While ribosomal occupancy and codon frequencies vary across coding regions, well-established metrics for computing coding potential of RNA do not capture such positional dependence. Here, we investigate position-dependent...

  • Determining free energies of hard sphere fluids via Monte Carlo simulation

    Creator:
    Valeskea, Austin
    Abstract:
    Free energy is a fundamental property of a thermodynamic system, from which pressure, entropy, and other interesting properties can be derived. It is useful, then, to be able to accurately compute the free energy at various densities and temperatures in a way that can serve as the basis for further...

  • New Strategies to Develop Hidden Markov Models Combining KEGG and Pfam

    Creator:
    Gupta, Sonica
    Abstract:
    Profile Hidden Markov Models utilize the information stored in a multiple sequence alignment such as its residues and conserved regions to assign probabilities at each column. This indicates areas in the sequences where similar functionality is observed. These probability weights are then combined to assign a sequence score, which is...

  • Tracing the Pacific Islander Diaspora in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Yarbrough, Nicole
    Abstract:
    The Pacific Islander diaspora in the Pacific Northwest United States is a unique community characterized by diverse cultures, experiences, and motivations for migration. This study aimed to explore the narratives of individuals from different Pacific Islander backgrounds residing in Oregon, shedding light on their reasons for migration and the impact...

  • Comparison of the Longevities of Roman and Modern Construction Projects

    Creator:
    Taylor, David D.
    Abstract:
    Throughout Europe, Northern Africa, and the Near East, hundreds of Roman ruins lie scattered about. Many Roman aqueducts, bridges, roads, and even buildings remain standing over two thousand years after their construction, as functional as the day they were built. In the modern United States, however, many public works projects...

  • Evaluating social media attention interventions

    Creator:
    Gasper, David M.
    Abstract:
    Social media platforms use many techniques to engage users' attention with their platforms, including notifications, popups, and gamification elements. The impact of social media on physical and mental health has been studied, but limited publicly available research exists on how social media users can be helped to disengage from these...

  • Cortex: Open Source Core Financial Processor

    Creator:
    Paulsen, Loren
    Abstract:
    A financial processor is the most important component of a credit union‘s IT infrastructure. A database storing member demographic information, account balances, and transaction history, it performs financial calculations, such as interest, dividends, and maturities. It also provides a user interface, allowing tellers and financial service representatives to manage accounts...

  • Modelling Gas Adsorption inside Metal-Organic Frameworks using a Grand-Canonical Monte Carlo Algorithm

    Creator:
    York, Arthur H.
    Abstract:
    Metal-organic frameworks are promising novel materials for gas storage and separations because of their extremely high internal surface area and their modular structures based on metal nodes and organic linker molecules. Due to their modular design, it is possible to finely tune a structure for optimal storage of a specific...

  • Transcribing Solo Piano Performances from Audio to MIDI Using a Neural Network

    Creator:
    Ebert, Victoria
    Abstract:
    Automatic Music Transcription is a growing area of interest in Music Information Retrieval, and recent research has shown promise using onset detection on spectrograms. We propose a deep learning model that takes raw audio as input in order to transcribe a solo piano performance from audio to MIDI without complicated...

  • Transformers for representing microbiome data: an empirical evaluation

    Creator:
    Varma, Rohan
    Abstract:
    As the link between human microbiomes and health has become more established, the interest in applying statistical approaches to microbiome data to understand the mechanisms behind these links has grown. However, microbiome data is often of unmanageable size, and consequently, producing quality lower dimensional representations of samples is a significant...
