  • The fatty acid composition of tissues from swine fed fresh and oxidized menhaden oil containing certain antioxidants

    Creator:
    Huang, Anita Wong
    Abstract:
    The lipid composition of swine is characteristic of the species and is also a reflection of their dietary history. Other investigators have established that the physical properties and composition of swine depot fat may be altered by variation of the dietary lipid. Dietary regimens employing vegetable oil-bearing materials and their...

  • ThreshKnot: Thresholded ProbKnot for Improved RNA Secondary Structure Prediction

    Creator:
    Zhang, Liang
    Abstract:
    RNA structure prediction is a challenging problem, especially with pseudoknots. Recently, there has been a shift from the classical minimum free energy-based methods (MFE) to partition function-based ones that assemble structures based on base-pairing probabilities. Two typical examples of the latter group are the popular maximum expected accuracy (MEA) method...

  • The numerical computations in the neighborhood of isolated singularities with applications

    Creator:
    Wong, Anita Yuen-ling
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, problems arising in pumping fluids from the ground are treated. The mathematical theory is derived for both the time dependent and independent cases. A numerical method is developed to solve these problems. Some particular examples are presented and computer plots are drawn to illustrate the movement of...

  • Incorporating User Feedback into Machine Learning Systems

    Creator:
    Das, Shubhomoy
    Abstract:
    Although machine learning systems are often effective in real-world applications, there are situations in which they can be even better when provided with some degree of end user feedback. This is especially true when the machine learning system needs to customize itself to the end user's preferences, such as in...

  • Opening Pandora's Box at the Roof of the World : The Past and Present of Avian Influenza Science

    Creator:
    Canavan, Barbara C.
    Abstract:
    By means of a case study and historical analysis, this dissertation examines the past and present of avian influenza. By integrating disconnected histories of human and animal influenza, this dissertation links historical insights with the concerns of contemporary avian flu science. It is not only a natural history of avian...

  • Identifying Design Discussion Topics in Open Source Software

    Creator:
    Chatterjee, Amreeta
    Abstract:
    When contributing to a software system, developers need to understand the rationale for previous design decisions so that they can adhere to the system’s design. Not doing so can lead to erosion of the overall design quality of the system. However, discussions embedded in a large volume of communication on...

  • Algorithms for massive biological datasets

    Creator:
    Bryant, Douglas W. (Douglas Wesley)
    Abstract:
    Within the past several years the technology of high-throughput sequencing has transformed the study of biology by offering unprecedented access to life's fundamental building block, DNA. With this transformation's potential a host of brand-new challenges have emerged, many of which lend themselves to being solved through computational methods. From de...

  • Relational Learning over Dirty Data Using Data Constraints

    Creator:
    Lee, Ga Young
    Abstract:
    Real-world datasets are dirty and contain many errors. Examples of these issues are violations of integrity constraints, duplicates, and inconsistencies in representing data values and entities. Applying machine learning on dirty databases may lead to inaccurate results. Users have to spend a lot of time and effort repairing data errors...

  • Towards Direct Simultaneous Speech Translation

    Creator:
    Chen, Junkun
    Abstract:
    Simultaneous speech translation (SimulST) is widely useful in many cross-lingual communication scenarios, including multinational conferences and international traveling. Since text-based simultaneous machine translation (SimulMT) has achieved great success in recent years. The conventional cascaded approach for SimulST uses a pipeline of streaming ASR followed by simultaneous MT but suffers from...

  • Improving User Mental Models of XAI Systems with Inclusive Design Approaches

    Creator:
    Hamid, Md Montaser
    Abstract:
    Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) systems aim to improve users’ understanding of AI but rarely consider the inclusivity aspects of XAI. Without inclusive approaches, improving explanations might not work well for everyone. This study investigates leveraging users’ diverse problem-solving styles as an inclusive strategy to fix an XAI prototype, with the...
