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 Effect Of The Exposure To Domestic Violence On Psychological Well-Being Among American Muslim Women, Soulafa Shakhshir Massoud, Vanessa Francis Romo Jan 2006

The Effect Of The Exposure To Domestic Violence On Psychological Well-Being Among American Muslim Women, Soulafa Shakhshir Massoud, Vanessa Francis Romo

Theses Digitization Project

A quantitative study that examines American Muslim women's level of exposure to domestic violence, resources available to them, and the effect of domestic violence on their psychological well-being. Data was collected from 128 Muslim women from the Islamic Center of Riverside in Southern California. The key finding of the study was a significant positive relationship between depression and the use of verbal aggression. In addition, a positive relationship was found to exist between anxiety, depression and the use of violence.


Testing For The Solicitation Management System, Lu-Yi Wu Jan 2006

Testing For The Solicitation Management System, Lu-Yi Wu

Theses Digitization Project

This project is to test the Solicitation Management System software. The SMS is an online system that facilitates processing of a solicitation at the Office of Technology Transfer and Commercialization (OTTO). It allows potential applicants to submit applications to OTTC for further processing.


Re-Engineering The Solicitation Management System, Yao-Long Fan Jan 2006

Re-Engineering The Solicitation Management System, Yao-Long Fan

Theses Digitization Project

The scope of this project includes a re-engineering of the internal architecture of the Solicitation Management System (SMS), a web-based application that facilitates the running of grant proposal solicitations for the Office of Technology Transfer and Commercialization at California State University San Bernardino (CSUSB). A goal of the project is to increase consistency and efficiency of the code base of the system, making it easier to understand, maintain, and extend. The previous version of SMS was written to rely on the Spring and Hibernate frameworks. The project includes a restructuring of the system to remove reliance on the Spring framework, …


Remote: A Complete Tool To Support Software Process Management, Darrion Todd Demelo Jan 2006

Remote: A Complete Tool To Support Software Process Management, Darrion Todd Demelo

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of the project is to provide the Department of Computer Science at California State University, San Bernardino with a software project management tool that will help companies in their software development. ReMoTe (Recursively Estimating Multi-Threaded Observation Technology Enterprise) will assist software engineering teams with defining their scheduled delivery dates, life-cycle definitions, team hierarchy, and communication. Using the object-oriented approach, ReMoTe can support any software life cycle model. ReMoTe can help manage and control the software process over the Web. It also allows people to manage software artifacts using database systems such as mySQL, Microsoft Access, or Oracle.


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.


Analysis Of Psp-Like Processes For Software Engineering, Paul Jefferson Conrad Jan 2006

Analysis Of Psp-Like Processes For Software Engineering, Paul Jefferson Conrad

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this thesis is to provide the California State University, San Bernardino, Department of Computer Science with an analysis and recommended solution to improving the software development process.


Parallel Programming On General Block Min Max Criterion, Chuanche Lee Jan 2006

Parallel Programming On General Block Min Max Criterion, Chuanche Lee

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of the thesis is to develop a parallel implementation of the General Block Min Max Criterion (GBMM). This thesis deals with two kinds of parallel overheads: Redundant Calculations Parallel Overhead (RCPO) and Communication Parallel Overhead (CPO).


Game Design And Development, Vani Indrani Surangi Jan 2006

Game Design And Development, Vani Indrani Surangi

Theses Digitization Project

The project focuses on computer tools suitable for particular game genres and how they are used to develop 3D computer games. As part of learning about the tools, the author developed a 3D computer adventure game called "Adventures of Smiley" using Macromedia Director MX and 3D Studio Max. The game's purpose is to engage children using a friendly interface while they learn about different topics in various subject areas through lessons and puzzles. The research gathered information about the current game industry, technologies and game genres, which can be used as a reference for the beginning level game programmer. The …


Multi-Warehouse Inventory Control System, Tzu-Hsiao Yin Jan 2006

Multi-Warehouse Inventory Control System, Tzu-Hsiao Yin

Theses Digitization Project

The thesis discusses the development of Multi-Warehouse Inventory Control System (MWICS), a uniquely designed web application that targets membership based food wholesalers. The main goal of MWICS is to provide a real-time inventory control ability to all warehouses and present them as if it were single warehouse. The program consists of three main components: user account management sub-system, product and purchase management sub-system, and a warehouse inventory management sub-system. User interfaces are constructed primarily in HTML, PHP, and Javascript. MySQL is used to add, access, and process data.
