  • A tool for visualizing sequence alignments and associating annotations

    Creator:
    Zhang, Wenpeng
    Abstract:
    Alignment of genomic sequences from different species is becoming an increasingly powerful method in biology, and is being used for many purposes. The result of sequence alignments is a list of pairs of matched locations between the pattern string and the text string. However, without any proper visualization tools to...

  • Description and comments on a matrix algebraic method for the determination of isomorphism in pairs of undirected graphs

    Creator:
    Fogg, Ka-Hung
    Abstract:
    This paper describes an investigation of a matrix algebraic method to determine isomorphism in pairs of undirected graphs. The method is described in some detail. The theoretical as well as the practical difficulties are given. It is shown that the method works for some cases. When the adjacency matrix of...

  • A fast algorithm for determining the primitivity of an n x n nonnegative matrix

    Creator:
    Leegard, Amanda D.
    Abstract:
    Nonnegative matrices have a myriad of applications in the biological, social, and physical genres. Of particular importance are the primitive matrices. A nonnegative matrix, M, is primitive exactly when there is a positive integer, k, such that M[superscript k] has only positive entries; that is, all the entries in M[superscript...

  • An alternative architecture for performing basic computer arithmetical operations

    Creator:
    Djang, Kevin
    Abstract:
    The arithmetic portions of almost all modern processor architectures are of very similar design. We use the term "traditional" to describe this design, the primary characteristics of which are native support for integer and floating-point number types and special disjoint instructions and hardware for each supported type. Decades of refinement...

  • Walking tree methods for biological string matching

    Creator:
    Hsu, Tai C.
    Abstract:
    Approximate string matching is commonly used to align genetic sequences (DNA or RNA) to determine their shared characteristics. In contrast with the standard dynamic programming methods which use local edit distance models, the Walking Tree heuristic method was created to handle non-local changes, e.g., translocations, inversions, and duplications, altogether and...

  • Algorithms for string matching with applications in molecular biology

    Creator:
    Holloway, James Lee
    Abstract:
    As the volume of genetic sequence data increases due to improved sequencing techniques and increased interest, the computational tools available to analyze the data are becoming inadequate. This thesis seeks to improve a few of the computational methods available to access and analyze data in the genetic sequence databases. The...

  • Executable semantics for PLEXIL : simulating a task-scheduling language in Haskell

    Creator:
    Strauss, Paul J.
    Abstract:
    An interdisciplinary study into the theory of design decisions has yielded a model for tracking design changes in hardware/software systems, but it still needs to be applied to a larger system to test its efficiency at tracking important data. This thesis creates an implementation of PLEXIL, a language in development...

  • Ensemble Monte-Carlo planning : an empirical study

    Creator:
    Lewis, Paul
    Abstract:
    Monte-Carlo planning algorithms such as UCT make decisions at each step by intelligently expanding a single search tree given the available time and then selecting the best root action. Recent work has provided evidence that it can be advantageous to instead construct an ensemble of search trees and make a...

  • Applications of Conditional Topic Models to Species Distribution Prediction

    Creator:
    Wilkins, Paul Christopher
    Abstract:
    The topic of species distribution modelling has been on of increasing interest in recent years. As climate change is becoming of even more interest to researchers, more tools are needed to better analyze and predict various climate change scenarios. One particular area of interest is that of species distribution modeling....

    Abstract:
    This paper describes the results of a research project to design new graphical user interlace to an existing applications software product, using the techniques of user-centered design. The project began with a literature review to determine the currently accepted methodology in the area of user-centered design, with emphasis on the...
