Improving Reuse In Software Development For The Life Sciences, Nicholas Vincent Iannotti
Improving Reuse In Software Development For The Life Sciences, Nicholas Vincent Iannotti
Open Access Dissertations
The last several years have seen unprecedented advancements in the application of technology to the life sciences, particularly in the area of data generation. Novel scientific insights are now often driven primarily by software development supporting new multidisciplinary and increasingly multifaceted data analysis. However, despite the availability of tools such as best practice frameworks, the current rate of software development is not able to keep up with the needs of scientists. This bottleneck in software development is largely due to code reuse generally not being applied in practice.
This dissertation presents Legwork, a class library of reuse-optimized design pattern implementations …
Information Measures For Statistical Orbit Determination, Alinda Kenyana Mashiku
Information Measures For Statistical Orbit Determination, Alinda Kenyana Mashiku
Open Access Dissertations
The current Situational Space Awareness (SSA) is faced with a huge task of tracking the increasing number of space objects. The tracking of space objects requires frequent and accurate monitoring for orbit maintenance and collision avoidance using methods for statistical orbit determination. Statistical orbit determination enables us to obtain estimates of the state and the statistical information of its region of uncertainty given by the probability density function (PDF). As even collision events with very low probability are important, accurate prediction of collisions require the representation of the full PDF of the random orbit state. Through representing the full PDF …
Analysis Of Android Update Packages As A Method To Load Forensic Utilities And Malicious Applications To An Android Device, Mark Lohrum
Open Access Theses
Android devices are extremely popular and are projected to stay popular. Both forensic tools and malware exist designed specifically for Android devices. The purpose of this study is to explore a new method of loading forensic tools and malware to Android devices. This new method is the update module, which is used to install updates to the operating system. This thesis proposed and completed research to test four different custom update packages on three different Android devices. Two of the update packages contain forensic utilities and the other two contain malicious tools. An update package collecting web history using the …
The Role Of Test Administrator And Error, Michael Edward Brockly
The Role Of Test Administrator And Error, Michael Edward Brockly
Open Access Theses
This study created a framework to quantify and mitigate the amount of error that test administrators introduced to a biometric system during data collection. Prior research has focused only on the subject and the errors they make when interacting with biometric systems, while ignoring the test administrator. This study used a longitudinal data collection, focusing on demographics in government identification forms such as driver's licenses, fingerprint metadata such a moisture and skin temperature, and face image compliance to an ISO best practice standard. Error was quantified from the first visit and baseline test administrator error rates were measured. Additional training, …
A Comparative Analysis Of Open Source Storage Area Networks With Esxi 5.1, Robert M. Trinkle
A Comparative Analysis Of Open Source Storage Area Networks With Esxi 5.1, Robert M. Trinkle
Open Access Theses
Storage Area Networks have increased in popularity with the advancement of virtualization technologies. SANs consist of a central repository of hard disks allowing multiple clients to access and share data over a computer network. In recent years, multiple commercial and open source SAN technologies have been introduced to the market. Unlike commercial products, the open source SAN technologies lack formal documentation and research making implementation best practices scarce. This research analyzed the performance of different SAN architectures and implementation strategies. In addition, this paper expands upon previous research by using current hardware and software technologies. The test results of prominent …
An Analysis Of Underlying Competencies And Computer And Information Technology Learning Objectives For Business Analysis, Ryan Thomas Quigley
An Analysis Of Underlying Competencies And Computer And Information Technology Learning Objectives For Business Analysis, Ryan Thomas Quigley
Open Access Theses
This research examines whether the Computer and Information Technology (CIT) department at Purdue University should develop a business analyst concentration. The differences between system and business analysts, evolution of the business analyst profession, job demand and trends, and applicable model curricula were explored to support this research. Review of relevant literature regarding the topics suggested that a business analyst concentration should be developed. A gap analysis was performed to determine how well selected CIT courses address the skills and competencies required by today's business analysts. The primary finding, as a result of the analysis, was that CIT courses alone are …
