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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Risk Considerations in the Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the Construction Industry
(2016-12)
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the construction industry is swiftly growing worldwide. UAVs
are changing the way construction companies do business. Contractors are increasingly using camera-mounted
UAVs ...
Group Mutual Exclusion in Linear Time and Space
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The Group Mutual Exclusion (GME) problem, introduced by Joung, is a natural extension of the classical Mutual Exclusion problem. In the classical Mutual Exclusion problem, two or more processes are not simultaneously allowed ...
Cloud Platform for Research Crowdsourcing in Mobile Testing
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Mobile application testing and testing over a cloud are two highly topical fields nowadays. Mobile testing presents specific test activities, including verification of an application against a variety of heterogeneous ...
Optimization of Web Services for Cloud Deployment and Mobile Consumption
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Research performed for this thesis indicates an impedance mismatch between prevailing approaches to development of service-oriented enterprise applications and the consumption capabilities of mobile devices. The rich ...
