Software-Based Gradient Nonlinearity Distortion Correction, Thomas Seward Lee Jan 2006

Software-Based Gradient Nonlinearity Distortion Correction, Thomas Seward Lee

Theses Digitization Project

The primary purpose of the thesis is to discuss the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in functional proton radiosurgery. The methods presented in this thesis were specifically designed to correct gradient nonlinearity distortion, the single greatest hurdle that limits the deployment of MRI-based functional proton radiosurgery systems. The new system central in the thesis fully utilized MRI to provide localization of anatomical targets with submillimeter accuracy. The thesis provides analysis and solutions to the problems related to gradient nonlinearity distortion. The characteristics of proton radiosurgery are introduced, in addition to a discussion of its advantages over other current methods …


The Structure Of Semisimple Artinian Rings, Ravi Samuel Pandian Jan 2006

The Structure Of Semisimple Artinian Rings, Ravi Samuel Pandian

Theses Digitization Project

Proves two famous theorems attributed to J.H.M. Wedderburn, which concern the structure of noncommutative rings. The two theorems include, (1) how any semisimple Artinian ring is the direct sum of a finite number of simple rings; and, (2) the Wedderburn-Artin Theorem. Proofs in this paper follow those outlined in I.N. Herstein's monograph Noncommutative Rings with examples and details provided by the author.

Freeness Of Hopf Algebras, Christopher David Walker Jan 2006

Freeness Of Hopf Algebras, Christopher David Walker

Theses Digitization Project

The Nichols-Zoeller freeness theorem states that a finite dimensional Hopf algebra is free as a module over any subHopfalgebra. We will prove this theorem, as well as the first significant generalization of this theorem, which was proven three years later. This generalization says that if the Hopf algebra is infinite dimensional, then the Hopf algebra is still free if the subHopfalgebra is finite dimensional and semisimple . We will also look at several other significant generalizations that have since been proven.

Webisms: (Web-Based Information Security Management System): A Prevention Information Security Tool, Nam Kim

Theses Digitization Project

The impetus for this project came from five years of experience working as a system and network administrator in the California State University, San Bernardino's (CSUSB's) College of Natural Sciences. The college and campus in general are under continual cyber attack, usually by direct-penetration methods and all kinds of viruses, worms, and spywares. This project developed WebISMS as a prevention approach in information security. WebISMS is now deployed in the CSUSB Institute of Applied Supercomputing lab, where it is working efficiently as an information security assessment / audit tool.


From Measure To Integration, Sara Hernandez Mcloughlin Jan 2006

From Measure To Integration, Sara Hernandez Mcloughlin

Theses Digitization Project

The thesis studies the notions of outer measure, Lebesgue measurable sets and Lebesgue measure, in detail. After developing Lebesgue integration over the real line, the Riemann integrable functions are classified as those functions whose set of points of discontinuity has measure zero. The convergence theorems are proven and it is shown how these theorems are valid under less stringent assumptions that are required for the Riemann integral. A detailed analysis of abstract measure theory for general measure spaces is given.

Semantic Tableaux Program, Sirisha Lakshmi Vadaparty Jan 2006

Semantic Tableaux Program, Sirisha Lakshmi Vadaparty

Theses Digitization Project

This project created a program that takes predicate calculus formulas and creates a visual Semantic Tableaux truth tree, thereby proving or disproving a conclusion. Formal methods used in developing and verifying software and hardware are mathematically based techniques for describing and reasoning about system properties. Such formal methods provide frameworks within which people specify, develop, and verify systems in a systematic, rather than ad hoc, manner. Formal methods include the more specific activities of program specification, program verification and hardware verification.

Gauss-Bonnet Formula, Heather Ann Broersma Jan 2006

Gauss-Bonnet Formula, Heather Ann Broersma

Theses Digitization Project

From fundamental forms to curvatures and geodesics, differential geometry has many special theorems and applications worth examining. Among these, the Gauss-Bonnet Theorem is one of the well-known theorems in classical differential geometry. It links geometrical and topological properties of a surface. The thesis introduced some basic concepts in differential geometry, explained them with examples, analyzed the Gauss-Bonnet Theorem and presented the proof of the theorem in greater detail. The thesis also considered applications of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem to some special surfaces.
