The History Of The Enigma Machine, Jenna Siobhan Parkinson Dec 2022

The History Of The Enigma Machine, Jenna Siobhan Parkinson

History Publications

The history of the Enigma machine begins with the invention of the rotor-based cipher machine in 1915. Various models for rotor-based cipher machines were developed somewhat simultaneously in different parts of the world. However, the first documented rotor machine was developed by Dutch naval officers in 1915. Nonetheless, the Enigma machine was officially invented following the end of World War I by Arthur Scherbius in 1918 (Faint, 2016).


Contemporary Mathematical Approaches To Computability Theory, Luis Guilherme Mazzali De Almeida Aug 2021

Contemporary Mathematical Approaches To Computability Theory, Luis Guilherme Mazzali De Almeida

Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference

In this paper, I present an introduction to computability theory and adopt contemporary mathematical definitions of computable numbers and computable functions to prove important theorems in computability theory. I start by exploring the history of computability theory, as well as Turing Machines, undecidability, partial recursive functions, computable numbers, and computable real functions. I then prove important theorems in computability theory, such that the computable numbers form a field and that the computable real functions are continuous.


Optimizing The Analysis Of Electroencephalographic Data By Dynamic Graphs, Mehrsasadat Golestaneh Apr 2014

Optimizing The Analysis Of Electroencephalographic Data By Dynamic Graphs, Mehrsasadat Golestaneh

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

The brain’s underlying functional connectivity has been recently studied using tools offered by graph theory and network theory. Although the primary research focus in this area has so far been mostly on static graphs, the complex and dynamic nature of the brain’s underlying mechanism has initiated the usage of dynamic graphs, providing groundwork for time sensi- tive and finer investigations. Studying the topological reconfiguration of these dynamic graphs is done by exploiting a pool of graph metrics, which describe the network’s characteristics at different scales. However, considering the vast amount of data generated by neuroimaging tools, heavy computation load and …
