AlienG2 - An Automated Analysis Tool for Genome-scale Prediction of Horizontal Gene Transfer
(East Carolina University, 2013)
This thesis will present a method for predicting Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) events through the creation of a web-based application called AlienG2. HGT is the process of genetic exchange between distantly related ...
miRCancer : a microRNA-Cancer Association Database and Toolkit Based on Text Mining
(East Carolina University, 2010)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of single-stranded small non-coding RNAs. Study of miRNAs has been a fast growing field since the first miRNA was discovered in 1993. Many findings indicate that miRNA plays an important role ...
Compounding the Results: The Integration of Virtual Worlds With the Semantic Web
(2010)
Over the past 20 years, governmental use of Web-base information and
technologies has continually expanded taking advantage of the Web's vast, ever-
expanding volumes of browser-accessible ...
A Protocol and Tool for Developing a Descriptive Behavioral Model
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Fuzzy rules have been used to model complex human behavior in order to develop sophisticated industrial control systems. The use of fuzzy rules to create a behavioral model provides a quantitative basis for discussing the ...
Self-Checked Metamorphic Testing of Monte Carlo Simulation
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Photon propagation in biological tissues can be modeled with Monte Carlo simulations numerically. However, testing a such program is difficult due to the unknown character of the test oracles. Although approaches based on ...
Migrating Legacy Software Applications to Cloud Computing Environments : A Software Architect's Approach
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Cloud computing has garnered a great deal of interest in the past few years. The availability of on-demand computational power is presumed to provide substantial IT infrastructure cost-savings, partially through the ...
Modeling and Testing of Aspect-Oriented Systems
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Aspect-Oriented programming modularizes crosscutting concerns into Aspects, which are automatically weaved to the specified points of a program. Although Aspect-Oriented programming improves program maintainability and the ...
Blending on-campus and online experiences through the use of virtually immersive technologies
(2011)
Recently, there has been a great deal of attention put toward efforts to integrate teaching methodologies and strategies between face to face and online classrooms looking to maximize learning by combining delivery modalities. ...
Knowledge-Based Competencies Necessary for the Frontline Construction Supervisor : Improving Safety through Knowledge
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Evaluating supervisor competency levels has been a management challenge since the beginning of supervisory roles in the construction process. Supervisors perform a critical role in the workplace with respect to workplace ...
Data in Depth: Web 3-D Technologies Provide New Approaches to the Presentation of Course Content
(2010)
For nearly two decades, the Web has provided the
classroom with vast, ever-expanding volumes of browseraccessible
information. As the web has evolved so too has
our desire to become more involved with the process ...
