"Sisterhood: A Technology-Enhanced Community Organizing Model"

Community organizing is a process that "transforms people with problems into politically active constituencies that eventually build a new collective identity"[Sen] for the purpose of creating sustained political and social change.  During this time of rapid technological innovation, standard community organizing strategies are experiencing diminishing effectiveness.  A proposed community-organizing model entitled Sisterhood is built upon traditional organizing practices enhanced by a bottom-up online activist strategy.  A case study of the use of a database-driven website entitled Equivalent:  a working woman's invoicing system by the Bay Area Chapter of 9to5 Working Women's Association reveals how a bottom-up online activist strategy can play a vital role in consciousness raising, supporting traditional methods of organizing, motivating political change, and acquainting women with computing technology.

"A Web Based Solution for Cataloguing, Organizing and Retrieving Image Data Using Java"

One of the tantalizing complexities when dealing with digital data is the way it is catalogued and later retrieved. When image data is digitized in small quantities, organization of data is not crucial and is often neglected. As the amount of data being handled increases, there is a need to catalogue this data so that it can be retrieved efficiently at a later time. One of the challenges of cataloguing images is providing for a means of accessing and modifying associated metadata and retrieving images based on the cataloguing. In this paper, a Web-based solution to create, index, organize and retrieve images in a database using Java is presented. Incorporating Dublin Core standards while structuring the database allows cataloguing loosely structured image data effectively.

"ImagoSUs: A Database to Store Images and Data of Sea Urchins"

When we think of institutions having to solve the problem of digitizing and annotating their collections, we normally think of libraries or museums, large institutions with substantial means at their disposal. This thesis describes how a similar problem was addressed and solved by a small institution, the Biology department of Mills College, with limited means. The need to permanently store the rich image collection resulting from research on the larval development of sea urchins is the starting point of the project described in this thesis. The project achieved the development of a database that stores not only the images, but also the information they contain: ImagoSUs, a database to store Images of Sea Urchins, designed to be used as storage medium, knowledge discovery tool and teaching tool by researchers and students of the Biology department.

"Computational Models for Alpha Helix Bundles"

We approximate free energy of a structure, in this case an alpha-helix bundle, using a program to build successive contact maps on a lattice structure to position the monomers or beads in the chain of molecules. The maps will contain pairs of beads indicating inter- and intra-helical contacts. A neighbor-avoiding walk over these nodes indicates whether the map is valid and the number of possible paths through the conformation. We ensure all possible conformations of these bundles are built and compute the density states per number of contacts. All conformations are not valid, however. We need to apply restrictions to avoid processing non-viable maps, since the program would otherwise require exponential time in the number of monomers. The aggregate values of path-counts found for the various conformations gives the density state for a contact map. We then plot the density states values against the number of contacts for a chain of up to N monomers, where N=20 for a 2-helix bundle, and N=24 for a 3-helix bundle.

I use these values to derive a partition function to use in predicting density states for higher numbers of monomers, which are computationally hard (exponential in N). Since this is a simplification of transition states, we aim to get a statistical sample of values within an order of 2 for prediction of density states. If the function appears to work well programmatically, it may be tested against a natural polymer.

Arina Fedorova, 2004

"Statistical Mechanics Studies of Triple Helix Bundle Polymers"

I modeled two- and three-helix bundles in a triangular lattice. An algorithm was developed so that a set of contact maps was generated representing a wide variety of different possible alpha helix bundles. For a chain length up to 25 beads the generated contact maps were physically viable in 75 percent cases. Using the program that I wrote in C language I computed the density of states for two- and three-helix bundles for chains of specified length. In collaboration with Lesley Evensen, ICS graduate student, I can predict the density of states for longer chains with good accuracy.

"Vec2004 ~V: A robust and efficient vector screener and quality control tool"

DNA sequencing, the process of determining the exact order of millions or billions of bases that make up the DNA is a highly complex and multi-staged process. The resulting sequence could be contaminated with some segments from the vector during the multi-staged process. These segments need to be identified, removed and quality screened in order to acquire the pure sequence. The resulting pure sequence can be used for further research, which includes protein structure prediction, sequence alignment, building predictive models, etc. This research process understands the need for a better, robust and independent component that can identify and eliminate the vectors in the input sequences and also perform various quality control checks on the sequences thereby yielding the expected pure sequence. This component would replace the existing one and seamlessly integrate with the XGI pipeline and thereby increase the efficiency and quality of the existing pipeline.

"Lessons from Deploying Information Systems for Microfinance Transactions in Uganda"

The World Bank states that up to 500 million people could potentially benefit if the microfinance industry addresses the challenges of poor infrastructure and operational inefficiencies. Specifically, microfinance institutions must leverage information and communication technology to transition from manual record-keeping to standardized electronic client data and to connect electronically from rural points of exchange to regional credit organizations. The Remote Transaction System (RTS) is a technology solution initiated and designed by the Micro-development Finance Team (MFT) to help microfinance institutions transition from manual record-keeping and to electronically connect rural areas to regional microfinance institutions. The technology consists of a portable, point-of-sale (PoS) device with card reader, printing, and cellular networking capabilities. The objective of this research project is to present lessons learned from deploying the RTS solution in Uganda, based on three weeks of fieldwork in Uganda during August 2004. The principal findings are observations of cultural factors, training methodology, and the introduction of technology into existing microfinance infrastructures. It is hoped that the lessons highlighted in this paper offer the reader with positive guidance on mainstreaming microfinance in both developing and developed countries.

"FriendlyRoboCopy: A GUI to RoboCopy for Computer Forensic Examiners"

One of the challenges in computer forensics today is the extraction of data from computer clusters. This challenge exists when an investigator needs to copy data from a computer cluster with a file system that is not recognized by examiners' extraction tools. It also exists because the nodes in the cluster cannot be traditionally imaged. This has forced examiners to use system administrators' tools such as RoboCopy [Rob1]. RoboCopy is a complicated command-line interface but robust and supported by Microsoft. This thesis proposes FriendlyRoboCopy, a user interface between examiners and the RoboCopy utility.

"The World Zoo: Can Children Be Led to Learning by Computer Software?"

An interactive computer environment that allows them to add researched information to an existing computer database. Students are invited to do projects to develop areas of a computer database that have been intentionally left undeveloped. The database is a HyperCard application designed to teach 8 to 10 year old students about animals. The stack contains pictures of the animals, information about each animals' habitat and family life, a reproduction of selected animals' sounds, and maps showing where a particular animal can be found in the wild. In addition, the database gives students the opportunity to draw pictures, write stories or essays, or start a project of their own using "The World Zoo" as a template. The software was tested with various aged students to examine whether or not students are interested in doing research on their own and in developing the database. The results show that students are interested in developing the database. Thew results show that students are interested in developiing the database. In order to show conclusively that the software can encourage students to do research, long-term testing is necessary (perhaps over the course of one or two school years). The preliminary indication, however, is that software can indeed stimulate students to do research on their own.

The purpose of this thesis work is to cast attention on one aspect of this problem which is the tendency of many users to conduct least effort Internet searches. Such queries rely soley on keywords for input, ignoring any advanced search grammar or refining functionality offered by most search engines. The research outlined in this proposal will examine the implications of a thesaurus-aided modification of a user's query as a means for retrieving better results. The study will include both general subject keyword queries and a set of focused keyword queries directed at locating content relevant to a more narrowly defined topic area.

Most popular search tools for the World Wide Web (the Web) search the entire text of Web pages. These text-based searches do not always locate relevant results, nor do they display information clearly. In addition to textual information, structural information such as links and titles help users find interesting pages. ParaSite is a system that lets people use structural information to search the web; however, ParaSite lacks a graphical user interfact (GUI). I designed, developed, and evaluated a GUI for ParaSite, allowing users to leverage structural information graphically in their searches. User studies showed that the GUI was effective and indicated ways in which the design could be further improved.

Little of the existing score printing software makes use of the MIDI keyboard and other tools that are more natural to musicians. Rhythm Editing Tool (RET) is a program that illustrates an alternative way to create score publishing software that is geared to the nature of the user. RET edits a piece of music into strict metrical time frame that is suitable for music notation. The program allows the user to enter rhythmic landmarks (taps) to the music and it has the ability to restructure the music by comparing the original piece with the taps. RET also provides the user with a graphics screen for easier manipulation of musical data.

The increased use of sensors and microprocessors has given automated machines the capability to sense and react to the environment and to keep track of its own tasks. As a natural evolution, many of those machines are getting integrated into larger systems and becoming networked appliances. These improvements have greatly broadened the capability of those machines and the range of options for how machines are to accomplish their task. This has in turn increased the need for machines to efficiently communicate with users.

As systems grow in complexity the underlying cause of application failure becomes more difficult to pinpoint. We evaluate the impact of realistic failures on e-commerce services using a methodology that identifies and characterizes system-level faults. We present a framework for deriving quantitative dependability metrics for e-commerce systems. This framework identifies where system dependability is weakest and how it can be improved. Our novel approach to analyzing the dependability of e-commerce systems uses software fault injection to simulate faulty operational environments, where targeted applications are tested for their response to low-level failure. Collected failure data is analyzed and combined to provide an indirect method for measuring dependability.

The field of brain-computer interface research has been rapidly expanding in recent years and has a wide range of interesting and compelling uses. EEG-based brain-computer interfaces currently allow users to type, play games, create music or control prosthetic limbs.

This thesis describes the development of Brainathlon, an open source software game that is controlled by the players' brainwave activity. An electroencephalogram (EEG) monitors the player's brainwaves. These waves are fed into the computer, analyzed and used to control the game play. The game provides users with real-time feedback on current brain activity and rewards activity in congurable frequency ranges. This feedback leads to enhanced conscious control of brainwave activity.

The software we developed includes a reusable library of EEG monitoring, filtering and analysis tools that can be used to create future EEG-based applications. The software was built to work with ModularEEG, an open source brainwave monitoring device. The reusable Brainathlon libraries will provide software developers with a toolkit to facilitate the creation of low cost brain-computer interface applications for the ModularEEG device.
