Abstract:: Desktop widget engines have emerged as an alternative for completing simple tasks without the need for a full-blown application or constant user interaction. Widgets can simply display data in a compact and visually appealing manner (such as stock tickers, weather forecasts, and news notifications), or go so far as to...
Resource Type:: Capstone Project

Creator:: Atwood, John Wesley
Abstract:: Culprit Tracking is a technique to make lazy evaluation in a programming language even lazier. We sought to develop such a technique after noting poorly-distributed performance characteristics of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) programmed in lazy languages. A characteristic aspect of GUI programs is the intensive screen I/O. These programs are...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Matos G., Soraya J.
Abstract:: A Graphic User Interface is developed to determine the existence of a particular sequence of piano notes within a monophonic sound waveform. Such waveforms are recorded within the Graphic User Interface and then passed to the monophonic analysis engine. The first phase of analysis segments the PCM sound data to...

Creator:: Cavener, Jeffrey Douglas
Abstract:: Biologists need tools to see the structural relationships encoded in biological sequences (strings). The Walking Tree heuristics calculate some of these relationships. I have designed and implemented graphic presentations which allow the biologist (user) to see these relations. This thesis contains background information on the biological sequences and some background...

Creator:: Ehler, Michael
Abstract:: A remote Digital Signal Processing (DSP) lab for the Internet is developed to give students the opportunity to work together online with a remotely located Digital Signal Processor (DSP). Students in different locations can work together with the DSP as if they were present in the lab. To make this...

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...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Hsu, Tai C., and Cull, Paul, 1943-
Abstract:: The meaning of biological sequences is a central problem of modern biology. Although string matching is well understood in the edit-distance model, biological strings with transpositions and inversions violate this model's assumptions. To align biologically reasonable strings, we proposed the Walking Tree Method [4,5,6,7,8], an approximate string alignment method that...
Resource Type:: Research Paper

Creator:: Diatchka, Kremena S.
Abstract:: This thesis describes the implementation of an interface for querying established correspondences between anatomical structures across species. I was the main developer of this query engine, called the Comparative Anatomy Information System. My work involved developing methods to query the knowledge base, perform the specified comparison, display the anatomical hierarchies...
