Bansal, Nitin Kumar (2018-12-10)1This work seeks to answer the question: as the (near-) orthogonality of weights is found to be a favorable property for training deep convolutional neural networks, how we can enforce it in more effective and easy-to-use ...
-
Ferguson, Carly M (2010-05-21)We determined the extent to which consumption of four diets containing mixtures of three non-digestible but fermentable polysaccharides preferentially stimulated the proliferation of gastrointestinal bifidobacteria and ...
-
Leroux, Todd Carl (2015-10-05)This dissertation examines how access to care is changing in today’s military and how these changes impact various populations. Three topics are examined, which cover pre-existing personality disorder discharges, mental ...
-
Gaucher, Beverly Jane (2013-04-04)This research explores factor analysis applied to data from skewed distributions for the general skew model, the selection-elliptical model, the selection-normal model, the skew-elliptical model and the skew-normal model ...
-
Rivera Montes De Oca, Jose Manuel (2017-07-27)We start with some Fourier analysis on cyclic groups as the base case. This theory comes along with some basic notions about character theory. So, we develop some properties of the additive characters of Z/qZ. Formulas ...
-
Liang, Yu-Ya (2019-07-11)Rice is one of the most important crops that feeds more than half of the world’s population. Along with the escalating problems with climate change, drought and submergence events have increased in recent years and have ...
-
Abante Llenas, Jordi (2016-04-26)Both deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) play a crucial role in the existence and proper development of all living organisms. In addition, it is through these molecules that the genetic information is ...
-
Zhu, Weixi (2020-07-06)Copy number variants (CNVs) represent changes in the number of DNA segments from 50 bp to several millions of nucleotides that often include genic sequences. CNVs play a critical role in evolution and are related to disease ...
-
Boyles, Will Cameron (2023-08-01)With the growth in access to data and the need for statistical knowledge in careers and every-day life, introductory statistics courses are an increasingly important interaction for undergraduate students. These courses ...
-
Boluki, Shahin (2021-05-19)In engineering and life science applications, designing reliable and reproducible predictors is of utmost importance and interest. On one hand, the amount of available data for the application and problem of interest may ...
-
Wagaman, John C. (2011-02-22)The discovery of proteomic information through the use of mass spectrometry (MS) has been an active area of research in the diagnosis and prognosis of many types of cancer. This process involves feature selection through ...
-
Arslan, Emre (2018-11-09)Statistical analysis of high-dimensional biological data is the central component of “personalized medicine” and “translational bioinformatics.” Two major barriers limit the application of the extracted information in ...
-
Torkamandi, Bahman (2020-04-30)The objective of the research in this dissertation is to derive optimal search schemes for approximate string matching using bidirectional FM-index, and utilize them in increasing the speed of such searches. Such a problem ...
-
Xie, Shuilian (2021-05-18)The standard assumption in classification is that the training data are independent and identically distributed. Indeed, this assumption is so pervasive that it is often applied without mention. In this dissertation, we ...
-
Nikooienejad, Amir (2013-07-24)Recent improvements in sequencing technologies have caused various interesting problems to arouse. Having millions of read sequences as the final product of sequencing genome at a lower cost compared to micro array era, ...
-
Osorio Hurtado, Daniel C. (2021-03-24)Gene expression variability has been associated with specific roles in cell function. However, its functional implications in multicellular organization have not been systematically tested due to technical limitations. ...
-
Wang, Xuan (2012-07-16)Proteomics serves an important role at the systems-level in understanding of biological functioning. Mass spectrometry proteomics has become the tool of choice for identifying and quantifying the proteome of an organism. ...
