A Dynamic Programming-Based Approach To Microarray Image Comparison And Registration, Sunil Bosco Rodrigues Jan 2001

A Dynamic Programming-Based Approach To Microarray Image Comparison And Registration, Sunil Bosco Rodrigues

Masters Theses

"Microarray technology is increasingly used as a means of high throughput analysis of human, non-human and plant genomes. Manual methods of array production have inherent imperfections and variations of the quality of output data derived from these arrays. A dynamic programming-based approach is presented to validate the quality of such data prior to insertion into evolving databases in order to assign reliably, genetic aberrations to bio-medical functions. Dynamic programming is used for comparing normal and tumor microarray image pairs and a cost function is developed which gives a value representing the difference between the images. Quality of the image pairs …

Businesswomen's Views On Occupational/Work Success In The Early 21st Century, Heather Martin Jan 2001

Businesswomen's Views On Occupational/Work Success In The Early 21st Century, Heather Martin

Honors Capstones

Women have made tremendous strides in the workforce over the past thirty years. More women than ever are receiving college business degrees and are entering the workforce at a ample rate. However, women only hold a small percentage of top-level positions in business. For example, women run only two of the Fortune 500 companies. This project looks to examine and possibly explain why definitions of success may be one of the possible reasons women are not reaching top executive positions. Many people today assume, ometimes unknowingly, that success is based upon money, position, or status. However, upon closer examination it …


The Impact On The Internal Audit Department When An Entity Implements A New Accounting System Or New Accounting Software, Pamela J. Hecotr Jan 2001

The Impact On The Internal Audit Department When An Entity Implements A New Accounting System Or New Accounting Software, Pamela J. Hecotr

Honors Capstones

The purpose of this paper examines how the internal audit department is affected when a company implements a new accounting system or new accounting software. A change in accounting systems can put the integrity of the data at risk, thus increasing the potential for a material misstatement in the general ledger and subsidiary accounts. This study focused on changes to the internal audit department's daily routine, including the assessment of risk and the internal controls of the new system. Using an open-ended questionnaire, six auditors, each from a different company, were surveyed as to their experiences after implementing a new …


The Marlboro Man's Secret Versus The Public Health: Trade Secrets And Unconstitutional Takings In Phillip Morris V. Reilly, Melanie Tang Jan 2001

The Marlboro Man's Secret Versus The Public Health: Trade Secrets And Unconstitutional Takings In Phillip Morris V. Reilly, Melanie Tang

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

Trade secrets have traditionally been considered to be property interests under the law protected by the Fifth Amendment. However, in a series of decisions finding a Massachusetts tobacco product disclosure law to be unconstitutional, the Massachusetts district court departed from established Fifth Amendment takings case law, setting a precedent for successful "regulatory takings" challenges by private companies to public health, welfare, and safety laws. This Note discusses the novel interpretation of a property owner's reasonable investment-backed expectations advanced by the Phillip Morris holdings in contravention to Ruckelshaus v. Monsanto, as x ell as the misguided analysis of the character of …

Historical Radiometric Calibration Of Landsat 5, Erin O'Donnell Jan 2001

Historical Radiometric Calibration Of Landsat 5, Erin O'Donnell

Theses

There hasn't been a rigorous study of Landsat 5's thermal band since 1985, the year after its launch. Nevertheless, those who utilize this thermal imagery have been using it under the assumption that the sensor is operating correctly. This research was done to show that the thermal band of Landsat 5, has been radiometrically stable over its lifetime. Also, this research attempted to determine what the calibration of the thermal band has been. This was done using various Landsat 5 images of the thermal bar in the Great Lakes that were taken over the lifetime of the satellite. The focus …


Post-Test Implementation Of Twntn4a Correction Code At O.3m Tct, Ryuichi Machida Jan 2001

Post-Test Implementation Of Twntn4a Correction Code At O.3m Tct, Ryuichi Machida

Theses

Airfoil characteristics measured in a wind tunnel typically differ from those obtained in free air due to the confinement of airflow in tunnel test sections and the development of boundary layer on tunnel walls. Wind tunnel measured quantities, e.g. Mach number, Reynolds number, angle of attack, require corrections to determine their equivalent values in free air. TWNTN4A is a correction program capable of correcting wall interference effects in 2-D wind tunnels. TWNTN4A was applied to correct over 300 data files obtained from tests performed in 0.3m Transonic Cryogenic Tunnel (TCT) at NASA Langley. Data describe Mach number range of 0.50 …
