Bite your tongue
Creators: name: Rendle-Short, Francesca
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 360201
subject: Creative writing (incl. scriptwriting)

description: BACKGROUND 'Bite Your Tongue', published by award winning feminist publisher Spinifex Press is set in 1970s Queensland. This novel-cum-memoir contributes to Australia's literary culture by offering through its structural and figurative modes a site -specific piece focused on a significant historical period. Similar to critically acclaimed Janette Turner Hospital's work, this fictionalised mother-daughter memoir is preoccupied with "secrets that refuse to remain buried".CONTRIBUTION The focus of this work is on silence, shame and finding voice, and how the body operates and survives as the language of this process. Complex and self-reflexive, it is a book about books and the body, language and writing the self. The work's literary contribution has been recognised widely: "idiosyncratic and original" (Gail Jones, author); "a remarkable feat: [it]...moves pretty-well-effortlessly between the directly auto-biographical and the lyricism of good fiction" (Clare Strahan, Overland); "[it] lends its voice to a tradition of Queensland women's writing in a growing cacophony of many tongues" (Jessica Gildersleeve, Queensland Review); a "must read": "Part fable, part fact, it illustrates Rendle-Short's literary prowess." "Here is no Babel. Here is a fantastical tongue-atorium." (Dominique Hecq, Text Journal review).SIGNIFICANCE The work's value is attested to by: invitations to speak at literary conferences and events including Prairie Lights Iowa City (USA), Reaching the World Bangkok, Reality Bites Festival, Lighthouse Lit Festival; the Australian Book Review referred to it as one of the "best books for 2011"; reviewed extensively both nationally and internationally in highly esteemed publications and media outlets such as Queensland Review (Cambridge), Cultural Studies Review, Life Matters and Books and Arts Daily (ABC Radio National), The Weekend Australian, The Lit Show (Iowa), The Age, and The Courier Mail. Shortlisted for the national 2012 Colin Roderick Literary Award.

Creators: name: Mukker, Alka
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2004

description: Data integration has been an active topic of research in the past. With the advances in technology in the context of web, data integration faces new challenges imposed by heterogeneity of source, their autonomy and independence. Web services, which are universally accessible software components deployed on the web, are becoming the focus of recent researches due to their ability to interconnect systems and cost optimizations. At the same time, XML has also become one of the core technologies for business applications. By offering a standard, flexible and inherently extensible data format, XML significantly reduces the burden of deploying the many technologies needed to ensure the success of Web services.
This thesis examines the opportunities for data integration in the context of web services development paradigm. It examines the existing technologies and standards of web services and XML and provides an example of how web services can be used to unlock heterogeneous systems to extract and integrate data. The approach followed to illustrate this uses embedded web service calls inside XML documents.
The main contributions of this paper are: 1) comprehensive research of existing technologies 2) architecture to support invocation of embedded web services 3) implementation of an application to show the results 4) use of existing technologies to implement the proposed system.

Estudo das Lentes Gravitacionais com a Teoria Unificada do Spin Informacional (TGU)
Creators: name: MATUCHAKI
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: "Estudo das Lentes Gravitacionais com a Teoria Unificada do Spin Informacional (TGU)"

Este artigo apresenta uma abordagem inovadora para a modelagem de lentes gravitacionais, utilizando a Teoria Unificada do Spin Informacional (TGU) como alternativa à matéria escura. A TGU propõe que a gravidade não é uma força tradicional, mas sim uma manifestação da coerência informacional no espaço-tempo.

A pesquisa analisa lentes gravitacionais bem documentadas, como LRG 3-757, SDSS J1004+4112 e SDSSJ0146-0929, utilizando imagens do Hubble Space Telescope (HST) e do James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Além disso, foram geradas simulações teóricas baseadas na TGU, permitindo comparar previsões do modelo com observações reais.

O estudo introduz o fator λ, um parâmetro que descreve a modulação da coerência informacional e permite reproduzir os efeitos de lentes gravitacionais sem a necessidade de matéria escura. Além disso, investiga-se a presença de zonas de cancelamento informacional, interpretadas como regiões de I(r) < 0, possivelmente análogas a efeitos quânticos como Exclusão de Pauli, Efeito Casimir e Túnel Informacional.

Os resultados mostram que a TGU pode descrever a distorção gravitacional observada nas lentes analisadas, sugerindo que os efeitos atribuídos à matéria escura podem ser explicados por coerência informacional. O artigo conclui que a gravidade pode ser entendida como um fenômeno informacional e destaca novas direções para o estudo da gravidade quântica e cosmologia, eliminando a dependência de entidades invisíveis.

Este trabalho representa um avanço no estudo das lentes gravitacionais e abre novas possibilidades para a modelagem da estrutura do universo sem matéria escura. 🚀
Delay and Power Reduction in Deep Submicron Buses
Creators: name: Babvey, Sharareh
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2005

description: As technology scales down, coupling between nodes of the circuits increases and becomes an important factor in interconnection analysis. In many cases like the deep submicron technology (DSM), the coupling between lines (inter-wire capacitance) is strong and the energy consumption caused by parasitic capacitance is non-negligible. In this work, we employ the differential low-weight encoding [1] to reduce energy and delay (transmission cost) on DSM buses. We propose an enumeration method that reduces the encoder table-size from O(2n) words to O(n) words, for an n-bit DSM bus, and so reduces the memory complexity significantly and facilitates energy and delay reduction due to addressing and fetching data from large lookup tables. We modify the energy and delay equations for DSM buses and develop new representations in terms of number of the same and opposite direction transitions on the bus and use them in our interconnect analysis. We also use these equations to develop formulas for computing the mean transmission cost per bit on DSM buses for both differential low-weight encoding and uncoded schemes. Using the interconnect analysis, we compute a help codeword (from the set of unselected codewords) on the fly and assign to each selected codeword. This low complexity step consists of simple operations and enables us to gain more cost reduction without increasing the table size or number of the bus lines. The simulation results for 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit buses at maximum rate (only one extra line added) show that the proposed encoding scheme achieves more than 10% cost reduction, and performs more than 2.5% better than to the original differential low-weight scheme, in the worst case.
An Extended Iterative Location Management Schema for Load-Balancing in a Cellular Network
Creators: name: Subramanian, Shanthi
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2005

description: Location Management is defined as the process of tracking the position of a mobile terminal when it moves to its associated area within the network. This allows the network to detect the mobile user?s path for the purpose of call delivery. The location management schema in a public-LAN mobile network (IS-41 and GSM) is based on centralized two-tier database architecture. The root level is called the Home Location Register (HLR) and the second level is called the Visitor Location Register (VLR). The HLR permanently stores all the mobile users? location information and the types of services subscribed in the user?s profile database. The VLR stores the location information whenever a user registered in the HLR moves to its related location area within the network. By contacting the HLR, the VLR authenticates and updates the mobile user?s current position when a mobile terminal moves from one location area to another. The HLR then updates the mobile terminal?s new location information and removes the mobile terminal from its previous VLR. There can be multiple VLR?s under each HLR in a network. In the current location management schema, all the information requests, queries, acknowledgements have to go through the HLR. This results in excessive overload at the HLR. This overload becomes high when the number of mobile terminals increases within the network. The heavy traffic at the root (HLR) may cause congestion, degradation of the bandwidth at the root and hence becomes a major bottleneck for the entire network. To solve this congestion/bottleneck problem, a modified iterative protocol with VLR cache was introduced, where the VLRs in the network handle all de-registration, registration and acknowledgement of messages. The HLR only handles updating the location information of the mobile terminal in its database. This reduced the excess load/traffic experienced at the HLR thus improving the network?s performance. The modified protocol was tested with different cache replacement policies such as First-In First-Out (FIFO), Random and Least Frequently Visited (LFV) with uniform traffic with random mobile terminal movement.

In this thesis report, we extend the previous work in the modified iterative protocol by 1) increasing the topography of the network, to analyze the impact of network?s size on performance and 2) changing the mobile terminal traffic pattern from uniform traffic with random mobile terminal movement to non-uniform traffic with unbalanced probability movement. With these changes, we analyzed the modified protocol?s performance with different cache replacement policies (FIFO, LFV and Random) under uniform traffic with random movement and non-uniform traffic with unbalanced probability movement.
Genetic Granular Cognitive Fuzzy Neural Networks and Human Brains for Comparative Cognition
Creators: name: Li, Jun
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2005

description: In this thesis, Genetic Granular Cognitive Fuzzy Neural Networks (GGCFNN), combining genetic algorithms (GA) and granular cognitive fuzzy neural networks (GCFNN), is proposed for pattern recognition problems. According to cognitive patterns, biological neural networks in the human brain can recognize different patterns. Since GA and neural networks represent two learning methods based on biological science, it is indispensable and valuable to investigate how biological neural networks and artificial neural networks recognize different patterns. The new GGCFNN, based on granular computing, soft computing and cognitive science, is used in the pattern recognition problems. The hybrid forward-wave-backward-wave learning algorithm, as a main learning technology in GCFNN, is used to enhance learning quality. GA optimizes parameters to make GGCFNN get better learning results. Both pattern recognition results generated by human persons and those by GGCFNN are analyzed in terms of computer science and cognitive science.

description: Background Gender inequity and the subsequent health impacts disproportionately affect communities in the Global South. However, most gender equity measures, such as Pulerwitz’ (2000) Sexual Relationship Power Scale (SRPS), are developed and validated in the Global North and then applied in Global South settings without investigation of context applicability or validity. This study examines the SRPS’ validity evidence, comprehensiveness, and contemporary relevance for young South African women and men. Methods Between 2019 and 2021, 38 cognitive interviews (CIs) were conducted among previous participants of a South African youth cohort study ‘AYAZAZI’ (2015–2017) to explore youth’s perceptions of the SRPS. The SRPS measures women’s perceptions of their partner’s controlling behaviours, and men’s perceptions of their own controlling behaviours. Using CIs, participants responded to a 13-item adaptation of the SRPS for use among South African youth (strongly agree-strongly disagree), and then were asked to think-aloud their reasoning for responses, their understanding and perceived relevance of each item, and made overall suggestions for scale adaptations. An item appraisal coding process was applied, whereby Cognitive Coding assessed the types of cognitive problems youth had with understanding the items, and Question Feature Coding assessed which item features caused problems for participant understandings. Finally, youth recommendations for scale adaptations were summarized. Results Overall, 21 women and 17 men aged 21–30 participated in CIs in Durban and Soweto, South Africa. Cognitive Coding revealed 1. Comprehension issues, and 2. Judgements related to items’ applicability to lived experiences and identities (e.g., being unmarried). Question Feature Coding revealed items’ 1. Lack of clarity or vagueness in wording and 2. Logical problems in assumptions leading to multiple interpretations (e.g., item ‘my partner always need to know where I am’ interpreted as both controlling and caring behaviour). Multiple, overlapping issues revealed how many items failed to “fit” within the present-day living realities of South African youth. Youth recommended several item adaptations and additions, including strength-based items, to existing measures of gender equity and relationship power. Conclusion Given identified issues, several adaptations including revising items to be more inclusive, contemporary, context specific, relational, and strength-based are needed to validly measure gender equity and power dynamics within the relationships of South African youth.
Storing Protein Structure in Spatial Database
Creators: name: Yeung, Tony
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2005

description: In recent years, the field of bioinformatics has exploded in a scale that is unprecedented. The amount of data generated from different genome projects demands a new and efficient way of information storage and retrieval. The analysis and management of the protein structure information has become one of the main focuses. It is well-known that a protein?s functions differ depending on its structure?s position in 3-dimensional space. Due to the fact that protein structures are exceedingly large, complex, and multi-dimensional, there is a need for a data model that can fulfill the requirements of storing protein structures in accordance to its spatial arrangement and topological relationships and, at the same time, provide tools to analyze the information stored. With the emergence of spatial database, first used in the field of Geographical Information Systems, the data model for protein structure could be based on the geographic model, as they share several similar uncanny traits. The geometry of proteins can be modeled using the spatial types provided in a spatial database. In a similar way, special geometry queries used for geographical analysis can also be used to provide information for analysis on the structure of the proteins.  This thesis will explore the mechanics of extracting structural information for a protein from a flat file (PDB), storing that information into a spatial data model based on a spatial data model, and making analysis using geometric operators provided by the spatial database. The database used is Oracle 9i. Most features are provided by the Oracle Spatial package. Queries using the ideas aforementioned will be demonstrated.
Image Compression Using Bidirectional DCT to Remove Blocking Artifacts
Creators: name: Faridi, Imran
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2005

description: Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is widely used transform in many areas of the current information age. It is used in signal compression such as voice recognition, shape recognition and also in FBI finger prints. DCT is the standard compression system used in JPEG format. The DCT quality deteriorates at low-bit compression rate. The deterioration is due to the blocking artifact inherent in block DCT. One of the successful attempts to reduce these blocking artifacts was conversion of Block-DCT into Line-DCT. In this thesis we will explore the Line-DCT and introduce a new form of line-DCT called Bidirectional-DCT, which retains the properties of Line- DCT while improving computational efficiency. The results obtained in this thesis show significant reduction in processing time both in one dimensional and two dimensional DCT in comparison with the traditional Block-DCT. The quality analysis also shows that the least mean square error is considerably lower than the traditional Block-DCT which is a consequence of removing the blocking artifacts. Finally, unlike the traditional block DCT, the Bidirectional-DCT enables compression with very low bit rates and very low blocking artifacts.

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2005

description: As the important of global data sharing is widely utilized in many corporations, it is well know as multidatabase. However, the system occurs and interesting issue. It is global constraint checking. It is mandatory to set up a potential checking application inside; therefore, global constraint checking needs these following essential characteristics such as 1) mobility 2) heterogeneity and 3) robustness. The effective way to implement the checking is using Aglets which is well recognized as one of the good mobile agent. Aglets is very appropriate because it contains the ability of mobility, and it is 100% Java compatible and open source. In this thesis, we construct the application of global constraint checking following these steps. To begin with starting step, user enters the insert statement. The system then receives the input, and then connection with Global Metadatabase begins. It will optimize the proper route for checking. Its optimized data will be sent out with the mobile agents to the remote sites. Eventually, results will be collected and show to user.
ScoreSVG: A New Software Framework for Capturing the Semantic Meaning and Graphical Representation of Musical Scores Using JAVA2D, XML, and SVG
Creators: name: Bays, Geoffrey
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2005

description: ScoreSVG implements a three-tiered software architecture that generates musical scores in scalable vector graphics (SVG), something no other known music editor has done. SVG is non-proprietary XML-based format that renders graphical content into a web browser equipped with a SVG plugin. Scores in SVG can be scripted to produce interactive music  theory examples, or make other graphical score changes impossible in any other format. Large music score editors such as Finale and Sibelius output to proprietary file formats, or Postscript (.ps) files that are not interchangeable or modifiable once created. Open source efforts such as LilyPond or Guido require the user to learn a new text-based music format to get a PostScript music score. ScoreSVG converts the data from a user-friendly visual front end to GuidoXML, capturing the semantic meaning of the score, and then outputs the result in SVG using an XSL stylesheet and the Saxon 8.4 XSLT processor.
Exploring Discrete Cosine Transform for Multi-resolution Analysis
Creators: name: Abedi, Safdar Ali
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2005

description: Multi-resolution analysis has been a very popular technique in the recent years. Wavelets have been used extensively to perform multi resolution image expansion and analysis. DCT, however, has been used to compress image but not for multi resolution image analysis. This thesis is an attempt to explore the possibilities of using DCT for multi-resolution image analysis.  Naive implementation of block DCT for multi-resolution expansion has many difficulties that lead to signal distortion. One of the main causes of distortion is the blocking artifacts that appear when reconstructing images transformed by DCT. The new algorithm is based on line DCT which eliminates the need for block processing. The line DCT is one dimensional array based on cascading the image rows and columns in one transform operation. Several images have been used to test the algorithm at various resolution levels. The reconstruction mean square error rate is used as an indication to the success of the method. The proposed algorithm has also been tested against the traditional block DCT.

Simulating a Pipelined Reconfigurable Mesh on a Linear Array with a Reconfigurable Pipelined Bus System
Creators: name: Gopalan, Mathura
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Due to the unidirectional nature of propagation and predictable delays, optically pipelined buses have been gaining more attention. There have been many models proposed over time that use reconfigurable optically pipelined buses. The reconfigurable nature of the models makes them capable of changing their component?s functionalities and structure that connects the components at every step of computation. There are both one dimensional as well as k ?dimensional models that have been proposed in the literature. Though equivalence between various one dimensional models and equivalence between different two dimensional models had been established, so far there has not been any attempt to explore the relationship between a one dimensional model and a two dimensional model. In the proposed research work it is shown that a move from one to two or more dimensions does not cause any increase in the volume of communication between the processors as they communicate in a pipelined manner on the same optical bus. When moving from two dimensions to one dimension, the challenge is to map the processors so that those belonging to a two-dimensional bus segment are contiguous and in the same order on the one-dimensional model. This does not increase any increase in communication overhead as the processors instead of communicating on two dimensional buses now communicate on a linear one dimensional bus structure. To explore the relationship between one dimensional and two dimensional models a commonly used model Linear Array with a Reconfigurable Pipelined Bus System (LARPBS) and its two dimensional counterpart Pipelined Reconfigurable Mesh (PR-Mesh) are chosen Here an attempt has been made to present a simulation of a two dimensional PR-Mesh on a one dimensional LARPBS to establish complexity of the models with respect to one another, and to determine the efficiency with which the LARPBS can simulate the PR-Mesh.

Creators: name: Jung, Sunsook
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Enhancing route request broadcasting protocols constitutes a substantial part of research in mobile ad hoc network routing. In the thesis, enhancements of ad hoc routing protocols, energy efficiency metrics and clustered topology generators are discussed. The contributions include the followings.  First, a node caching enhancement of Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol is introduced. Extensive simulation studies of the enhanced AODV in NS2 shows up to 9-fold reduction in the routing overhead, up to 20% improvement in the packet delivery ratio and up to 60% reduction in the end-to-end delay. The largest improvement happens to highly stressed situations. Secondly, new metrics for evaluating energy efficiency of routing protocols are suggested. New node cached AODV protocols employing non-adaptive and adaptive load balancing techniques were proposed for extending network lifetime and increasing network throughput.  	Finally, the impact of node clustered topology on ad hoc network is explored. A novel method for generating clustered layout in NS2 is introduced and experiments indicate performance degradation of AODV protocols for the case of two clusters.

description: Finding a product with high quality and reasonable price online is a difficult task due to the fuzzy nature of data and queries. In order to handle the fuzzy problem, a new type-2 fuzzy reasoning based decision support system, the Web Shopping Expert for online users is proposed. In the Web Shopping Expert, an interval type-2 fuzzy logic system is used and a fuzzy output can be obtained using the up-low limit technique, which offers an opportunity to directly employ all the rules and methods of the type-1 fuzzy sets onto the type-2 fuzzy sets. To achieve the best performance the fuzzy inference system is optimized by the least square and numerical method. The key advantages of the least square method are the efficient use of samples and the simplicity of the implementation. The Web Shopping Expert based on the interval type-2 fuzzy inference system provides more reasonable conclusions for online users.

description: Life would be much easier if there were no typing involved in preparing a document, typing an email, paying online bills, entering credit card details, booking flights, hotels or car rentals online. Imagine a system that would recognize speech and convert it into another form to do these functions automatically. The fact that most people can speak faster than they can type gives a good reason to have a speech recognizer. This thesis concentrates on developing a speaker independent, speech recognizer using Wavelet Packet Transform. Speech corpus in the form of phonemes is collected from an American male and an Indian Female. The subjects chosen for phoneme recognition vary in a number of factors like the accent, gender, age, microphone used to record speech, environment in which phonemes are recorded, etc. These factors increase the complexity of speech recognition. We also assume that the emotions of the speakers are the same and the speakers are stationary while recording phonemes.
A Survey, Taxonomy, and Analysis of Network Security Visualization Techniques
Creators: name: Kasemsri, Rawiroj
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Network security visualization is a relatively new field and is quickly gaining momentum. Network security visualization allows the display and projection of the network or system data, in hope to efficiently monitor and protect the system from any intrusions or possible attacks. Intrusions and attacks are constantly continuing to increase in number, size, and complexity. Textually reading through log files or other textual sources is currently insufficient to secure a network or system. Using graphical visualization, security information is presented visually, and not only by text. Without network security visualization, reading through log files or other textual sources is an endless and aggravating task for network security analysts. Visualization provides a method of displaying large volume of information in a relatively small space. It also makes patterns easier to detect, recognize, and analyze. This can help security experts to detect problems that may otherwise be missed in reading text based log files.

Network security visualization has become an active research field in the past six years and a large number of visualization techniques have been proposed. A comprehensive analysis of the existing techniques is needed to help network security designers make informed decisions about the appropriate visualization techniques under various circumstances. Moreover, a taxonomy of the existing visualization techniques is needed to classify the existing network security visualization techniques and present a high level overview of the field.

In this thesis, the author surveyed the field of network security visualization. Specifically, the author analyzed the network security visualization techniques from the perspective of data model, visual primitives, security analysis tasks, user interaction, and other design issues. Various statistics were generated from the literatures. Based on this analysis, the author has attempted to generate useful guidelines and principles for designing effective network security visualization techniques. The author also proposed a taxonomy for the security visualization techniques. To the author?s knowledge, this is the first attempt to generate a taxonomy for network security visualization. Finally, the author evaluated the existing network security visualization techniques and discussed their characteristics and limitations. For future research, the author also discussed some open research problems in this field. This research is a step towards a thorough analysis of the problem space and the solution space in network security visualization.
A System for Rapid Configuration of Distributed Workflows over Web Services and their Handheld-Based Coordination
Creators: name: Joshi, Jaimini
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Web services technology has lately stirred tremendous interest in industry as well as the academia. Web services are self-contained, platform independent functionality which is available over the internet. Web services are defined, discovered & accessed using a standard protocols like WSDL, UDDI & SOAP. With the advent of Service-Oriented Architecture and need for more complex application, it became eminent to have a way in which these independent entities could collaborate in a coherent manner to provide a high level functionality. But the problem of service composition is not an easy one. One reason being the self-contained and loosely coupled interaction style, which happens to be the single most important reason for its popularity.  We are proposing a prototype system for distributed coordination of web services. This system is based on the Web Bonds model for coordination.  The system, dubbed BondFlow system, allows configuration and execution of workflows configured over web services. Presently BondFlow system allows both centralized as well as distributed coordination of workflows over handhelds, which we claim as an engineering feet and is currently a unique work in this area.

The Relative Importance of Input Encoding and Learning Methodology on Protein Secondary Structure Prediction
Creators: name: Clayton, Arnshea
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: In this thesis the relative importance of input encoding and learning algorithm on protein secondary structure prediction is explored. A novel input encoding, based on multidimensional scaling applied to a recently published amino acid substitution matrix, is developed and shown to be superior to an arbitrary input encoding. Both decimal valued and binary input encodings are compared. Two neural network learning algorithms, Resilient Propagation and Learning Vector Quantization, which have not previously been applied to the problem of protein secondary structure prediction, are examined. Input encoding is shown to have a greater impact on prediction accuracy than learning methodology with a binary input encoding providing the highest training and test set prediction accuracy.

description: Recently much research effort has been devoted to the discovery of relevant Web services. It is widely recognized that adding semantics to service description is the solution to this challenge. Web services with explicit semantic annotation are called Semantic Web Services (SWS).  This research proposes an indexation and discovery architecture for SWS, together with a prototype application in the area of bioinformatics.  In this approach, a SWS repository is created and maintained by crawling both ontology-oriented UDDI registries and Web sites that hosting SWS. For a given service request, the proposed system invokes the matching algorithm and a candidate set is returned with different degree of matching considered. This approach can add more flexibility to the current industry standards by offering more choices to both the service requesters and publishers. Also, the prototype developed in this research shows the value can be added by using SWS in application areas such as bioinformatics.

An Automated XPATH to SQL Transformation Methodology for XML Data
Creators: name: Jandhyala, Sandeep
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: In this thesis we present an automated system that allows users to execute XPATH queries against an XML data source. The system exploits the shared-inlining mapping from XML to Relational data. At the core of the system is an XPATH to SQL transformation algorithm that produces corresponding SQL queries for a subset of XPATH. This approach allows one to utilize standard relational databases to store XML data. Given a DTD, the system creates appropriate relational tables based on the shared-inlining method. The system is capable of transforming an XML data source that conforms to the DTD into relational data. The main component of the system is the XPATH interpreter that parses an XPATH expression for the XML data source and transforms it into an equivalent SQL query. The SQL query is then executed against the relational database and results are packaged into XML and returned as the answer to the XPATH query. The use of the relational database to store and query the XML data is transparent to the user as they interact only with the XPATH interpreter. This methodology provides a novel technique to provide an XML database system implementation.

The Cigarette Seller of Addis Ababa
Creators: name: Carlin, David
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 360201
subject: Creative writing (incl. scriptwriting)

description: This work is situated in the field of memoir/essay. Its postcolonial appropriation of the fable genre relates to the writing of Kapuscinski (The Emperor); the work also relates to contemporary experiments at the boundaries of memoir/essay practice by JM Coetzee, Paul Auster, Gregoire Boullier, among others.
The work was produced with the assistance of a competitive research grant from the Harold Mitchell Foundation and accepted for publication by Griffith Review, one of Australia's most prestigious and high impact literary journals.
Reviews for this edition of Griffith Review are attached. This work uses formal innovation in narrative voice and the musicality of prose to transfigure the oral stories of an internationally significant Ethiopian/Australian circus performer, Sosina Wogayehu. In particular, these are childhood stories of everyday life on the streets of Addis Ababa in the 1980s. Such a narrative, documenting the subjective experience of everyday life in Ethiopia, as seen through the eyes of Wogayehu but refracted through formal distancing devices, and thereby ironically commenting upon the long Western tendency towards Orientalism (Said), is a novel and important contribution to the field.
BMP Signaling Pathway in Dentin Development and Diseases

description: BMP signaling plays an important role in dentin development. BMPs and antagonists regulate odontoblast differentiation and downstream gene expression via canonical Smad and non-canonical Smad signaling pathways. The interaction of BMPs with their receptors leads to the formation of complexes and the transduction of signals to the canonical Smad signaling pathway (for example, BMP ligands, receptors, and Smads) and the non-canonical Smad signaling pathway (for example, MAPKs, p38, Erk, JNK, and PI3K/Akt) to regulate dental mesenchymal stem cell/progenitor proliferation and differentiation during dentin development and homeostasis. Both the canonical Smad and non-canonical Smad signaling pathways converge at transcription factors, such as Dlx3, Osx, Runx2, and others, to promote the differentiation of dental pulp mesenchymal cells into odontoblasts and downregulated gene expressions, such as those of DSPP and DMP1. Dysregulated BMP signaling causes a number of tooth disorders in humans. Mutation or knockout of BMP signaling-associated genes in mice results in dentin defects which enable a better understanding of the BMP signaling networks underlying odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation. This review summarizes the recent advances in our understanding of BMP signaling in odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation. It includes discussion of the expression of BMPs, their receptors, and the implicated downstream genes during dentinogenesis. In addition, the structures of BMPs, BMP receptors, antagonists, and dysregulation of BMP signaling pathways associated with dentin defects are described.
Statistical Genetic Interval-Valued Type-2 Fuzzy System and its Application
Creators: name: Qiu, Yu
Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description: In recent years, the type-2 fuzzy sets theory has been used to model and minimize the effects of uncertainties in rule-base fuzzy logic system. In order to make the type-2 fuzzy logic system reasonable and reliable, a new simple and novel statistical method to decide interval-valued fuzzy membership functions and a new probability type reduced reasoning method for the interval-valued fuzzy logic system are proposed in this thesis. In order to optimize this particle system?s performance, we adopt genetic algorithm (GA) to adjust parameters. The applications for the new system are performed and results have shown that the developed method is more accurate and robust to design a reliable fuzzy logic system than type-1 method and the computation of our proposed method is more efficient.

Grid-Enabled Automatic Web Page Classification
Creators: name: Metikurke, Seema
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Much research has been conducted on the retrieval and classification of web-based information. A big challenge is the performance issue, especially for a classification algorithm returning results for a large set of data that is typical when accessing the Web. This thesis describes a grid-enabled approach for automatic web page classification. The basic approach is first described that uses a vector space model (VSM). An enhancement of the approach through the use of a genetic algorithm (GA) is then described. The enhanced approach can efficiently process candidate web pages from a number of web sites and classify them. A prototype is implemented and empirical studies are conducted. The contributions of this thesis are: 1) Application of grid computing to improve performance of both VSM and GA using VSM based web page classification; 2) Improvement of the VSM classification algorithm by applying GA that uniquely discovers a set of training web pages while also generating a near optimal parameter values set for VSM.
The True History of the Circus
Creators: name: Carlin, David
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 360201
subject: Creative writing (incl. scriptwriting)

description: BACKGROUND This memoir essay is situated within the contemporary genre of personal narrative nonfiction. Its form and style build on the nonfiction writing of Geoff Dyer, David Shields and Nick Flynn. This work constitutes research at the intersection between nonfiction - building on the writer's book Our Father Who Wasn't There (2010) - and the interdisciplinary Circus Oz Living Archive project. The latter seeks to explore in a new and creative way how the history of a collective circus might be made manifest through a digital archive in which videos interweave with memories and personal narratives. CONTRIBUTION The project entailed the generation of a creative methodology to elucidate insights into Circus Oz. The resulting essay contributes new knowledge by applying contemporary nonfiction narrative techniques to address questions of how to represent lived experience in relation to the historical development of the iconic Australian performing arts company, Circus Oz. The essay deploys strategies of humour and playfulness, as well as personal narrative, to map the borderlines between history, memory and the archive. SIGNIFICANCE This work forms part of the ARC-Linkage Circus Oz Living Archive project (2010-14). It was selected for publication in Griffith Review (Edition 33, 2011) one of Australia's foremost literary journals. This edition of Griffith Review was favourably reviewed in leading newspapers and journals: The Australian Book Review, The Australian, and The NZ Herald. The national ArtsHub site singled out this particular memoir/essay for praise (August 27, 2011).
