Ligand Frameworks For Transition-Metal Complexes That Model Metalloenzyme Active, Denan Wang
Ligand Frameworks For Transition-Metal Complexes That Model Metalloenzyme Active, Denan Wang
Dissertations (1934 -)
Advances in the field of biomimetic inorganic chemistry require the design of sophisticated ligand frameworks that reflect the amazing complexity of metalloenzyme active sites. For instance, most active sites feature extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions between ligands bound to the metal center (the “first” coordination sphere) and nearby units in the outer (or “second”) sphere. Since these interactions modify the structural and electronic properties of the active sites, a number of inorganic chemists have sought to design ligands that permit outer-sphere functional groups to interact with first-sphere donors. This dissertation describes our contribution to these broader efforts to model the second coordination …

With Vibrationally Excited Thiophosgene Molecule And Double-Well Ion Traps, Dmytro Shyshlov
Dissertations (1934 -)
For practical realization of quantum information processing we need a quantum system that provides reliable preparation of the initial state, high-fidelity quantum gate operations, error tolerance, readout of the result of quantum computation and scalability of the system to increase the number of qubits. In this dissertation we show how these requirements can be addressed for molecular quantum computer. For computational study of quantum information processing with molecules we employ thiophosgene (SCCl2) molecule that has been used as a test system for quantum control experiments [Mol. Phys. 105, 1999 (2007)]. We investigate the gateway scheme of control in which transitions …
Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactors To Treat Municipal Wastewater At Ambient Temperatures, Matthew D. Seib
Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactors To Treat Municipal Wastewater At Ambient Temperatures, Matthew D. Seib
Dissertations (1934 -)
Anaerobic biotechnology is viewed as a sustainable alternative to aerobic biotechnology for municipal wastewater recovery. However, anaerobic processes have not been successful in cold climates. Past examples have not been able to meet low organic effluent concentrations, or have failed due to biomass washout resulting from low temperature operation and short hydraulic residence time. Recently, the anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) has been shown to achieve low effluent organic concentrations and maintain stable anaerobic biomass. However, shortcomings have included high energy demands for membrane operation and poor understanding of microbial community structures within AnMBRs. This dissertation describes efforts to improve AnMBRs …
S-Nitrosothiols: Electronic Structure And Substituent Effects, Matthew Flister
S-Nitrosothiols: Electronic Structure And Substituent Effects, Matthew Flister
Dissertations (1934 -)
S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) are biologically important molecules involved in the storage and transport of nitric oxide (NO) and account for much of its signaling activity in living organisms. RSNOs have significant impact on NO signaling through, S-nitrosation, a major post-translational modification of proteins. These unstable thiol derivatives readily undergo homolytic dissociation of the S–N bond to release NO. RSNOs have potential therapeutic applications as NO donors, although the development of novel RSNOs has been slow due to the complex electronic structure of the –SNO group. A specific focus on the impact of the –R group on RSNO properties via substituent effect …

Impact Of Invasive Species Datura Arborea On Plant Species Richness In The West Usambara Mountains, Megan Foley
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
Invasive species have the potential to alter the evolutionary trajectory of ecosystems and native species; however, our understanding of the community level effects of invasive plants remains poor. The Eastern Arc Mountain Chain is listed as one of the top 25 biodiversity “hotspots” of the world, yet also as one of the 17 most threatened tropical forest ecosystems worldwide. The primary threat to biodiversity in the EAM is accredited to human encroachment; however, the impact of invasive species in the EAM, and across Tanzania, remains poorly understood. National biodiversity and resource management policy do not directly address invasive species, and …

Towards Automatic Generation Of Security-Centric Descriptions For Android Apps, Mu Zhang, Yue Duan, Qian Feng, Heng Yin
Towards Automatic Generation Of Security-Centric Descriptions For Android Apps, Mu Zhang, Yue Duan, Qian Feng, Heng Yin
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
To improve the security awareness of end users, Android markets directly present two classes of literal app information: 1) permission requests and 2) textual descriptions. Unfortunately, neither can serve the needs. A permission list is not only hard to understand but also inadequate; textual descriptions provided by developers are not security-centric and are significantly deviated from the permissions. To fill in this gap, we propose a novel technique to automatically generate security-centric app descriptions, based on program analysis. We implement a prototype system, DESCRIBEME, and evaluate our system using both DroidBench and real-world Android apps. Experimental results demonstrate that DESCRIBEME …

Structural Constraints For Multipartite Entity Resolution With Markov Logic Network, Tengyuan Ye, Hady W. Lauw
Structural Constraints For Multipartite Entity Resolution With Markov Logic Network, Tengyuan Ye, Hady W. Lauw
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Multipartite entity resolution seeks to match entity mentions across several collections. An entity mention is presumed unique within a collection, and thus could match at most one entity mention in each of the other collections. In addition to domain-specific features considered in entity resolution, there are a number of domain-invariant structural contraints that apply in this scenario, including one-to-one assignment as well as cross-collection transitivity. We propose a principled solution to the multipartite entity resolution problem, building on the foundation of Markov Logic Network (MLN) that combines probabilistic graphical model and first-order logic. We describe how the domain-invariant structural constraints …
Density Peaks Clustering Approach For Discovering Demand Hot Spots In City-Scale Taxi Fleet Dataset, Dongchang Liu, Shih-Fen Cheng, Yiping Yang
Density Peaks Clustering Approach For Discovering Demand Hot Spots In City-Scale Taxi Fleet Dataset, Dongchang Liu, Shih-Fen Cheng, Yiping Yang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper, we introduce a variant of the density peaks clustering (DPC) approach for discovering demand hot spots from a low-frequency, low-quality taxi fleet operational dataset. From the literature, the DPC approach mainly uses density peaks as features to discover potential cluster centers, and this requires distances between all pairs of data points to be calculated. This implies that the DPC approach can only be applied to cases with relatively small numbers of data points. For the domain of urban taxi operations that we are interested in, we could have millions of demand points per day, and calculating all-pair …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The tremendous rate of growth in the mobile app market over the past few years has attracted many developers to build mobile apps. However, while there is no shortage of stories of how lone developers have made great fortunes from their apps, the majority of developers are struggling to break even. For those struggling developers, knowing the “DNA” (i.e., characteristics) of high-rated apps is the first step towards successful development and evolution of their apps. In this paper, we investigate 28 factors along eight dimensions to understand how high-rated apps are different from low-rated apps. We also investigate what are …

Metamorphic Code Generator Based On Bytecode Of Llvm Ir, Arjun Shah
Master's Projects
Metamorphic software is famous for changing the internal structure of the code while keeping the functionality same. In order to escape the signature detection along with some advanced detection techniques, many malware writers have used metamorphism as the means. On the other hand, code morphing technique increases the diversity of the software which is considered to be a potential security advantage. In our paper, we have developed a metamorphic code generator based on the LLVM framework. The architecture of LLVM has a three-phase compiler design which includes the front end, the optimizer and the back end. It also gives assistance …
Implementing Type Inference In Jedi, Vaibhav Kamble
Implementing Type Inference In Jedi, Vaibhav Kamble
Master's Projects
This thesis begins with an overview of type systems: evolution, concepts, and problems. This survey is based on type systems of modern languages like Scala and Haskell. Scala has a very sophisticated type system that includes generics, polymorphism, and closures. It has a built-in type inference mechanism that enables the programmer to exclude certain type annotations. It is often not required in Scala to mention the type of a variable because the compiler can infer the type from the initialization of the variable. Study of such type system is demonstrated by the implementation of the type system. A type system …
Collaboration Prototyper: Automatic Generation Of Prototypes From Uml Collaborations, Ramya Badthody Shenoy
Collaboration Prototyper: Automatic Generation Of Prototypes From Uml Collaborations, Ramya Badthody Shenoy
Master's Projects
The thesis begins with a discussion of the use of designing versus prototyping in the initial stages of software development lifecycle. We present the idea of generating a working prototype directly from a UML analysis model to overcome time spent on creating a prototype. UML diagrams can be made to give sufficient information to generate code. Collaborations form the backbone of analysis models. A collaboration can be defined as a UML class diagram together with one or more sequence diagrams. Collaborations are the input of the Collaboration Prototyper (CP). CP transforms a collaboration into a Java prototype.

Scalable Techniques For Similarity Search, Siddartha Reddy Nagireddy
Master's Projects
Document similarity is similar to the nearest neighbour problem and has applications in various domains. In order to determine the similarity / dissimilarity of the documents first they need to be converted into sets containing shingles. Each document is converted into k-shingles, k being the length of each shingle. The similarity is calculated using Jaccard distance between sets and output into a characteristic matrix, the complexity to parse this matrix is significantly high especially when the sets are large. In this project we explore various approaches such as Min hashing, LSH & Bloom Filter to decrease the matrix size and …

Improving The Accuracy And Robustness Of Self-Tuning Histograms By Subspace Clustering, Sai Kiran Padooru
Master's Projects
Self-tuning histograms are a type of histograms very popular these days, as they allow the usage of multidimensional datasets. The main advantage of them is that they have a low computational cost due to their capacity to understand the dataset. Also, they proposed a better approach as they stay up-to-date and have adaptability to query patterns. According to the above, many researchers have worked on improving the accuracy of these type of histograms, which has led to the use of subspace clustering methods as initialization values. Following this approach in this study, a self-tuning histogram code was developed with the …
