Computational Analysis Of Gene Expression And Connectivity Patterns In The Convoluted Structures Of Mouse Cerebellum, Tao Zeng Jun 2014

Computational Analysis Of Gene Expression And Connectivity Patterns In The Convoluted Structures Of Mouse Cerebellum, Tao Zeng

Computer Science Theses & Dissertations

One significant difference between evolved mammalian brains and other species is that mammalian brains exhibit increasingly convoluted structures in the cerebral cortex. Groove and ridge shaped structures named gyri and sulci expand surface area of cerebral cortex, making more functions possible. Prior studies using neuroimaging techniques such as dMRI and DTI have revealed that neural fibers are heavily connected to gyri comparing to those connected to sulci, such macro-scale experiments indicates that gyri are involved in large scale information processing while sulci process information locally. However, molecular and cellar level evidences, namely, gene expression pattern and its resulting neuronal connectivity …

Generating Combinatorial Objects- A New Perspective, Alexander Chizoma Nwala

Computer Science Theses & Dissertations

Combinatorics is the science of "possibilities." This definition, while not formal is a fair statement because all too often, in order to gain insight into the solution of many counting problems, we explore the possibilities. In some cases we seek to know how many options, while in other cases we seek to enumerate or list the options. Irrespective of the scenario, combinatorics plays a vital role today. In many instances such as exploring the options for choosing a new password for a combination lock, we employ combinatorics. In considering the possible license plate permutations for a state, or to see …
