Graduate School of Oceanography Faculty Publications
Sediment oxygen concentration profiles and benthic microbial oxygen consumption rates were investigated during an IODP site survey in the South Pacific Gyre. Primary production, particle fluxes and sedimentation rates are extremely low in this ultra-oligotrophic oceanic region. We derived O2 consumption rates from vertical oxygen profiles in sediments obtained on different spatial scales ex situ (in piston cores and multi cores), and in situ (using a benthic lander equipped with a microelectrode profiler). Along a transect in the area 24 to 46° S and 165 to 117° W, cores from 10 out of 11 sites were oxygenated over their …
Randomized Greedy Hot-Potato Routing On The Multi-Dimensional Torus, Raymond Y. Chi
Randomized Greedy Hot-Potato Routing On The Multi-Dimensional Torus, Raymond Y. Chi
Master's Projects
We present extensive simulation and analysis on a traditional, simple, efficient dynamic hot potato routing algorithm on a multi-dimensional torus network. These simulations are performed under a more recent network model than previous, more limited studies, with dynamic (rather than batch) models, no flow-control, and extended high dimensional scenarios. We collect more comprehensive statistics on system performance, and empirically show that the system can recover from worst-case scenarios to quickly re-achieve its standard steady-state delivery rates, with expected delivery time for a packet of O(n), where n is the initial packet distance from its destination. Experiments also show that for …

Triggering Of Just-In-Time Compilation In The Java Virtual Machine, Rouhollah Gougol
Master's Projects
The Java Virtual Machine (Standard Edition) normally interprets Java byte code but also compiles Java methods that are frequently interpreted and runs them natively. The purpose is to take advantage of native execution without having too much overhead for Just-In-Time compilation. A former SJSU thesis tried to enhance the standard policy by predicting frequently called methods ahead of their actual frequent interpretation. The project also tried to increase the compilation throughput by prioritizing the method compilations, if there is more than one hot method to compile at the same time. The paper claimed significant speedup. In this project, we tried …
Analysis Of Machine Learning Based Methods For Identifying Microrna Precursors, Steve Ikeoka
Analysis Of Machine Learning Based Methods For Identifying Microrna Precursors, Steve Ikeoka
Master's Projects
MicroRNAs are a type of non-coding RNA that were discovered less than a decade ago but are now known to be incredibly important in regulating gene expression despite their small size. However, due to their small size, and several other limiting factors, experimental procedures have had limited success in discovering new microRNAs. Computational methods are therefore vital to discovering novel microRNAs. Many different approaches have been used to scan genomic sequences for novel microRNAs with varying degrees of success. This work provides an overview of these computational methods, focusing particularly on those methods based on machine learning techniques. The results …

Evaluations And Enhancements In 802.11n Wlans – Error-Sensitive Adaptive Frame Aggregation, Ken Chan
Master's Projects
IEEE 802.11n is a developing next-generation standard for wireless local area network (LAN). Seamless multimedia traffic connection will become possible with the 802.11n improvement in the Physical and MAC layer. The new 802.11n frame aggregation technique is particularly important for enhancing MAC layer efficiency under high speed wireless LAN. Although the frame aggregation can increase the efficiency in the MAC layer, it does not provide good performance in high BER channels when using large frame aggregation size. An Optimal Frame Aggregation (OFA) technique for AMSDU frame under different BERs in 802.11n WLANs was proposed. However, the suggested algorithm does not …

Available Bandwidth Inference Based On Node-Centric Clusters, Seetharam Samptur
Available Bandwidth Inference Based On Node-Centric Clusters, Seetharam Samptur
Master's Projects
End-to-End Available Bandwidth (AB) is a real-time network metric that is useful for a wide range of applications including content distribution networks, multimedia streaming applications and overlay networks. In a large network with several thousand nodes, it is infeasible to perform all-pair bandwidth measurements as AB measurements could induce traffic overhead along the path. Also because of its dynamic nature, the measurements have to be performed frequently thus imposing significant probe traffic overhead on the network. In this paper, we discuss a clustering based distributed algorithm to infer the AB between any pair of nodes in a large network based …

Total Recall For Ajax Applications – Firefox Extension, Smita Periyapatna
Master's Projects
Ajax, or AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), is a group of interrelated web development techniques used to create interactive web applications or rich Internet applications[9]. Web applications can retrieve data from the server asynchronously in the background without interfering with the display and behavior of an existing web page. [9] One of the biggest problems with Ajax applications is saving state and accommodating the succession of the history controls, (Back/forward buttons). Ajax allows documents to become stateful, but when the user intuitively goes for the history controls in the browser window, things go wrong. The user expects to see the …

Msg: A Gap-Oriented Genetic Algorithm For Multiple Sequence Alignment, Philip Heller
Msg: A Gap-Oriented Genetic Algorithm For Multiple Sequence Alignment, Philip Heller
Master's Projects
Traditional Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) Algorithms are deterministic. Genetic algorithms for protein MSA have been documented. However, these are not able to exceed in all cases the scores obtained by ClustalW, the freely available defacto standard. My solution, called “MSG”, places gaps rather than amino acids. The algorithm is multitribal, uses only a few very simple operators with adaptive frequencies, and jumpstarts one population from the ClustalW solution. Results are reported for 14 data sets, on all of which MSG exceeds the ClustalW score.
Distributed Port Scanning Detection, Himanshu Singh
Distributed Port Scanning Detection, Himanshu Singh
Master's Projects
Conventional Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) have heavyweight processing and memory requirements as they maintain per flow state using data structures like linked lists or trees. This is required for some specialized jobs such as Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) where the network communications between entities are recreated in its entirety to inspect application level data. The downside to this approach is that the NIDS must be in a position to view all inbound and outbound traffic of the protected network. The NIDS can be overwhelmed by a DDoS attack since most of these try and exhaust the available state of …
