Not Every Co-Existential Map Is Confluent, Paul Bankston
Not Every Co-Existential Map Is Confluent, Paul Bankston
Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications
A continuous surjection between compacta is co-existential if it is the second of two maps whose composition is a standard ultracopower projection. Co-existential maps are always weakly confluent, and are even monotone when the range space is locally connected; so it is a natural question to ask whether they are always confluent. Here we give a negative answer. This is an interesting question, mainly because of the fact that most theorems about confluent maps have parallel versions for co-existential maps---notably, both kinds of maps preserve hereditary indecomposability. Where the known parallels break down is in the question of chainability. It …
Implementation And Analysis Of A Top-K Retrieval System For Strings, Sabrina Chandrasekaran
Implementation And Analysis Of A Top-K Retrieval System For Strings, Sabrina Chandrasekaran
LSU Master's Theses
Given text which is a union of d documents of strings, D = d1, d2,...., dd, the emphasis of this thesis is to provide a practical framework to retrieve the K most relevant documents for a given pattern P, which comes as a query. This cannot be done directly, as going through every occurrence of the query pattern may prove to be expensive if the number of documents that the pattern occurs in is much more than the number of documents (K) that we require. Some advanced query functionality will be required, as compared to listing the documents that the …
Tsunami Hazard And Total Risk In The Caribbean Basin, X. William Proenza, George A. Maul
Tsunami Hazard And Total Risk In The Caribbean Basin, X. William Proenza, George A. Maul
Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Faculty Publications
Deadly western North Atlantic Ocean tsunami events in the last centuries have occurred along the east coast of Canada, the United States, most Caribbean islands, and the North Atlantic Coast of South America. The catastrophic Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 reminded natural hazards managers that tsunami risk is endemic to all oceans. Total Risk is defined as hazard (frequency of tsunami events) times measures of elements at risk (human exposure) times measures of vulnerability (preparedness) in a given epoch (Nott, 2006). While the tsunami hazard in the Caribbean (averaging 19 ± 22 years between deadly events) is lower than Pacific …
The Morphology And Function Of The Upper Valve Of Vaccinites Vesiculosus (Woodward), Dietrich Schumann
The Morphology And Function Of The Upper Valve Of Vaccinites Vesiculosus (Woodward), Dietrich Schumann
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The evolutionary transformation of the upper valve (UV) to a probable particle filter system in some hippuritid genera belongs to the most drastic changes in pelycipod shell structures. The basic architecture of this product is well known since long times. Again discussed is the functional role of the canal system. The bottom of the canals is very smooth. The canal system of Vaccinites vesiculosus is completely roofed by a particular graceful sieve. A water exchange between the canals did not exist. The uppermost part of the upper valve (the sieve) most probably was an endoskeleton. The upper valve was not …

Lower Semimodular Inverse Semigroups, Ii, Peter R. Jones, Kyeong Hee Cheong
Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications
The authors’ description of the inverse semigroups S for which the lattice ℒℱ(S) of full inverse subsemigroups is lower semimodular is used to describe those for which (a) the lattice ℒ(S) of all inverse subsemigroups or (b) the lattice �o(S) of convex inverse subsemigroups has that property. In each case, we show that this occurs if and only if the entire lattice is a subdirect product of ℒℱ(S) with ℒ(E S ), or �o(E S ), respectively, where E S is the semilattice of idempotents of …
Developing Preservice Teachers’ Mathematical And Pedagogical Knowledge Using An Integrated Approach, Marta Magiera, Leigh A. Van Den Kieboom
Developing Preservice Teachers’ Mathematical And Pedagogical Knowledge Using An Integrated Approach, Marta Magiera, Leigh A. Van Den Kieboom
Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications
This paper describes how an integrated mathematics content and early field-experience course provides opportunities for preservice elementary teachers to develop understanding of mathematics and mathematics teaching. Engaging preservice teachers in solving and discussing mathematical tasks and providing opportunities to implement these tasks with elementary students creates an authentic context for the future teachers to reflect on their own understanding of mathematics, mathematics teaching, and students’ mathematical thinking. Essential elements of the cycle of events in the integrated model of instruction are discussed: preservice students’ acquisition of mathematical concepts in the context of selected tasks in the content course; subsequent posing …

Gliomapredict: A Clinically Useful Tool For Assigning Glioma Patients To Specific Molecular Subtypes, Aiguo Li, Serdar Bozdag, Yuri Kotliarov, Howard A. Fine
Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications
Background: Advances in generating genome-wide gene expression data have accelerated the development of molecular-based tumor classification systems. Tools that allow the translation of such molecular classification schemas from research into clinical applications are still missing in the emerging era of personalized medicine.
Results: We developed GliomaPredict as a computational tool that allows the fast and reliable classification of glioma patients into one of six previously published stratified subtypes based on sets of extensively validated classifiers derived from hundreds of glioma transcriptomic profiles. Our tool utilizes a principle component analysis (PCA)-based approach to generate a visual representation of the analyses, quantifies …
Mobile Search Engine Using Clustering And Query Expansion, Huy Nguyen
Mobile Search Engine Using Clustering And Query Expansion, Huy Nguyen
Master's Projects
Internet content is growing exponentially and searching for useful content is a tedious task that we all deal with today. Mobile phones lack of screen space and limited interaction methods makes traditional search engine interface very inefficient. As the use of mobile internet continues to grow there is a need for an effective search tool. I have created a mobile search engine that uses clustering and query expansion to find relevant web pages efficiently. Clustering organizes web pages into groups that reflect different components of a query topic. Users can ignore clusters that they find irrelevant so they are not …
Output Feedback Control Of A Quadrotor Uav Using Neural Networks, Travis Dierks, Sarangapani Jagannathan
Output Feedback Control Of A Quadrotor Uav Using Neural Networks, Travis Dierks, Sarangapani Jagannathan
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
In this paper, a new nonlinear controller for a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is proposed using neural networks (NNs) and output feedback. the assumption on the availability of UAV dynamics is not always practical, especially in an outdoor environment. Therefore, in this work, an NN is introduced to learn the complete dynamics of the UAV online, including uncertain nonlinear terms like aerodynamic friction and blade flapping. Although a quadrotor UAV is underactuated, a novel NN virtual control input scheme is proposed which allows all six degrees of freedom (DOF) of the UAV to be controlled using only four control …

Distance Functions And Attribute Weighting In A K-Nearest Neighbors Classifier, Alyssa C. Frazee, Matthew A. Hathcock, Samantha C. Bates Prins
Undergraduate Mathematics Day: Past Content
To assess environmental health of a stream, field, or other ecological object, characteristics of that object should be compared to a set of reference objects known to be healthy. Using streams as objects, we propose a k-nearest neighbors algorithm (Bates Prins and Smith, 2006) to find the appropriate set of reference streams to use as a comparison set for any given test stream. Previously, investigations of the k-nearest neighbors algorithm have utilized a variety of distance functions, the best of which has been the Interpolated Value Difference Metric (IVDM), proposed by Wilson and Martinez (1997). We propose two alternatives to …

On The Construction Of Order Six Multilevel Hadamard Matrices, Keli Parker
On The Construction Of Order Six Multilevel Hadamard Matrices, Keli Parker
Undergraduate Mathematics Day: Past Content
The existence of multilevel Hadamard matrices (MHMs) of all orders as well as a construction for full-rate circulant MHMs of all orders n 6= 4 is known. We use computer search methods to look for previously unknown full-rate circulant MHMs of orders 5, 6, and 7 and find solutions that potentially do not follow from the known construction. We then give an alternate construction to explain some order six MHMs.

Just Sit Back And Let The Girth Model Make Money For You, Ellham Negahdary
Undergraduate Mathematics Day: Past Content
The Girth Model will use the 10-period exponential moving average (EMA) and the 20-period EMA as their proxy for market trend. The Girth Model is a trend following model incorporating volatility, momentum and velocity. We will use girth as an early close indication to both long and short positions. Typically, early exit due to decreasing girth results in a more favorable profit position than that taken if the trader simply waited for an exit on the EMA cross to the downside.

The Marshall Differential Analyzer: A Visual Interpretation Of Mathematics, Bonita A. Lawrence, Richard P. Merritt, Devon A. Tivener
Undergraduate Mathematics Day: Past Content
Mechanical integration is an idea dating back to the late 1800's discovered by James Thomson, brother of Lord Kelvin. This idea was then expanded to build a calculating machine, called a differential analyzer, by Vannevar Bush (M.I.T) in 1929. The Marshall University Differential Analyzer Team has followed in the footsteps of Dr. Bush and a gentleman named Dr. Arthur Porter, who was the first to build a differential analyzer in England when he was a student of Dr. Douglas Hartree. He built his machine of Meccano components, the British version of Erector Set. In the early days of Arthur Porter's …
Uniqueness Of Solutions Implies Existence And Uniqueness Of Solutions Of Boundary Value Problems For Third Order Differential Equations, Veronica Respress
Uniqueness Of Solutions Implies Existence And Uniqueness Of Solutions Of Boundary Value Problems For Third Order Differential Equations, Veronica Respress
Undergraduate Mathematics Day: Past Content
In this paper we are concerned with uniqueness implies uniqueness and uniqueness implies existence questions for solutions of a class of boundary value problems for the third order ordinary differential equation (ODE). First we show uniqueness of solutions of a class of two-point problems implies the uniqueness of solutions of an associated class of three-point problems. Then we establish uniqueness of solutions of the class of two-point problems implies the existence of solutions of the class of two point problems and the associated class of three-point problems.
The Maximal Pure Spectrum Of An Abelian Group, Brendan Goldsmith, Ruediger Goebel
The Maximal Pure Spectrum Of An Abelian Group, Brendan Goldsmith, Ruediger Goebel
Articles
This paper introduces the notion of the maximal pure spectrum of an Abelian group - this is the set of isomorphism classes of maximal proper pure subgroups - and focuses on the situation in which this spectrum is small. The converse situation is also examined i.e. given a collection of isomorphism classes of groups, can one find an Abelian group having precisely this collection as its maximal pure spectrum. Finally, it is shown that in some familiar situations, the answers to these questions may be undecidable.

We investigate one dimensional symmetric Schrödinger operator HX, β with δ' interactions of strength β = ⊂ on a discrete set X = ⊂ [0, b), b ≤ +∞ (xn ↑ b). We consider HX, β as an extension of the minimal operator Hmin := –d2/dx2 (\X) and study its spectral properties in the frame work of the extension theory by using the technique of boundary triplets and the corresponding Weyl functions. The construction of a boundary triplet for is given in the case d∗ := infn ∈ |xn – xn – 1| = 0. We show that spectral properties …

Mobile phones have become the most hated device that people cannot live without. For its primary usage as a communication device, it has surpassed any other medium. But it comes with a high price, interruption, anywhere anytime. These unwanted interruptions cause loss of productivity and also mostly not beneficial to the immediate task at hand, and moving them few minutes into the future can increase productivity. Considering receivers unavailability, it is possible to manage cell phone disruptions using advanced features like sensing capability, ubiquitous computing and context aware systems. This paper proposes the architecture of a system named Mobile Intelligent …

Local Out-Tournaments With Upset Tournament Strong Components I: Full And Equal {0,1}-Matrix Ranks, Kim A. S. Factor, Rebecca M. Kohler, Jason M. Derby
Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications
A digraph D is a local out-tournament if the outset of every vertex is a tournament. Here, we use local out-tournaments, whose strong components are upset tournaments, to explore the corresponding ranks of the adjacency matrices. Of specific interest is the out-tournament whose adjacency matrix has boolean, nonnegative integer, term, and real rank all equal to the number of vertices, n. Corresponding results for biclique covers and partitions of the digraph are provided.

A domination graph of a digraph D, dom(D), is created using the vertex set of D, V(D). There is an edge uv in dom(D) whenever (u, z) or (v, z) is in the arc set of D, A(D), for every other vertex z ε V(D). For only some digraphs D has the structure of dom(D) been characterized. Examples of this are tournaments and regular digraphs. The authors have characterizations for the structure of digraphs D for …

A domination graph of a digraph D, dom (D), is created using thc vertex set of D and edge uv ϵ E (dom (D)) whenever (u, z) ϵ A (D) or (v, z) ϵ A (D) for any other vertex z ϵ A (D). Here, we consider directed graphs whose underlying graphs are isomorphic to their domination graphs. Specifically, digraphs are completely characterized where UGc (D) is the union of two disjoint paths.

Quorum sensing bacteria produce and release chemical signal molecules (like N-acyl homoserine lactones, AHL) that increase in concentration as a function of cell density. The responses cover a large spectrum of process such as the virulence in Staphylococcus aureus, competence for DNA-uptake in Bacillus subtilis and Streptococcus pneumoniae, sporulation in Bacillus subtilis, conjugal plasmid transfer in Enterococcus faecalis, and bacteriocin production in lactic acid bacteria. The collapse of (AHL) signaling system in bacteria represents an attractive therapeutic approach towards the development of new antibiotics. Recently, a new extracellular modulator was isolated from a symbiotic bacterium (Bradyrhizobium japonicum) that nodulates soybean. …

A Model For Predicting Extragalactic Jet Lifetimes, Daniel S. Spicer, Robert Bingham, Stephen O'Sullivan
A Model For Predicting Extragalactic Jet Lifetimes, Daniel S. Spicer, Robert Bingham, Stephen O'Sullivan
Articles
Abstract. In this letter, we propose a model to explain the disintegration of ex- tragalactic jets and to predict the associated timescale. The model assumes that a jet is current and charge neutral as well as collimated at its source; however, the forward electron current gradually decays producing a magnetic field transverse to the direction of jet propagation. This growing transverse magnetic field eventually causes the jet to disintegrate.
