Evaluating And Improving The Efficiency Of Software And Algorithms For Sequence Data Analysis, Hugh L. Eaves
Evaluating And Improving The Efficiency Of Software And Algorithms For Sequence Data Analysis, Hugh L. Eaves
Theses and Dissertations
With the ever-growing size of sequence data sets, data processing and analysis are an increasingly large portion of the time and money spent on nucleic acid sequencing projects. Correspondingly, the performance of the software and algorithms used to perform that analysis has a direct effect on the time and expense involved. Although the analytical methods are widely varied, certain types of software and algorithms are applicable to a number of areas. Targeting improvements to these common elements has the potential for wide reaching rewards. This dissertation research consisted of several projects to characterize and improve upon the efficiency of several …
Bounded Surface, Emilie Sayward Brown
Bounded Surface, Emilie Sayward Brown
Theses and Dissertations
The relationship between surface, perception, and structure has occupied my graduate studies. Locating, transforming, and transcending the surface requires play with perceptive abilities not only of vision, but of touch, hearing, and the other senses as well. How do the interactions of sense with the qualities of a surface determine our perception of the world? What role does the extension of the senses play in one's ability to perceive surface and structure? Using sense information gleaned from surfaces, the tectonics of our world are made visible. Might this relationship be played backwards as well? Composed structures produce surfaces upon which …
