Stassun Associate Professor William H. Robinson DEDICATION To Naomi, Arnold, Anat, Oded and Sarah ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This year marks my seventeenth year of affiliation with Vanderbilt University: two years as a graduate student, one year as a staff member, four years as an undergraduate student, and ten years of taking piano lessons at the Blair School of Music. I am thankful that Vanderbilt has continued to support me after all these years. I am grateful for all the experiences that I have had here, the professors that have guided me and the friends that I have made along the way. Four years ago, Prof. Keivan Stassun gave me a chance to work on a project for a summer research program for undergraduates at Vanderbilt. He has supported me ever since, and I would like to thank him in particular for his kind and generous support. I would like to acknowledge the various members of the Stassun research group who have guided my research during this time and helped me to organize and revise the ideas in my thesis, specifically Dr. William Robinson, Dr. Joshua Pepper, Dr. Martin Paegert, Dr. Nathan DeLee, and Rob Siverd. I would also like to acknowledge the various users of Filtergraph and the KELT voting system who have provided valuable feedback, as well as financial support from a NASA ADAP grant and from the Vanderbilt Initiative in Data-intensive Astrophysics (VIDA).

Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, UC Berkeley, 2008 S.M. Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, MIT, 2011 Submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science on May 20 2015 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Abstract Medical image analysis often requires developing elaborate algorithms that are im- plemented as computational pipelines. A growing number of large medical imaging studies necessitate development of robust and flexible pipelines. In this thesis, we present contributions of two kinds: (1) an open source framework for building pipelines to analyze large scale medical imaging data that addresses these challenges, and (2) two case studies of large scale analyses of medical image collections using our tool.

Devir Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2010 The dissertation of Nathan P. Devir was reviewed and approved* by the following: Thomas O. Beebee Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature and German Dissertation Advisor Co-Chair of Committee Daniel Walden Professor Emeritus of American Studies, English, and Comparative Literature Co-Chair of Committee Baruch Halpern Chaiken Family Chair in Jewish Studies; Professor of Ancient History, Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies, and Religious Studies Kathryn Hume Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English Gila Safran Naveh Professor of Judaic Studies and Comparative Literature, University of Cincinnati Special Member Caroline D. Eckhardt Head, Department of Comparative Literature; Director, School of Languages and Literatures *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT A defining characteristic of secular Jewish literatures since the Haskalah, or the movement toward “Jewish Enlightenment” that began around the end of the eighteenth century, is the reliance upon the archetypal aspects of the Judaic tradition, together with a propensity for intertextual pastiche and dialogue with the sacred texts. Indeed, from the revival of the Hebrew language at the end of the nineteenth century and all throughout the defining events of the last one hundred years, the trend of the textually sacrosanct appearing as a persistent motif in Judaic cultural production has only increased.

  • Assignment 1: GWT Tutorial
    Assignment 1: GWT Tutorial Due At the beginning of your next lab (week of September 15th , 2014). Objectives The purpose of this assignment is to guide you through setting up your IDE (integrated development environment), introduce you to the Google Web Toolkit, have you build a sample GWT application and use the debugger to step through your code to fix a bug. Procedure and Deliverables For this assignment you will have to work through the GWT tutorial (step 3). Step 1 and 2 are to help you set up your environment properly. By the end of this tutorial you should have created the StockWatcher application, used the debugger to step through your code to fix a bug and compiled and tested the application in production mode. The TAs will check whether you completed the tutorial during the next lab. Note If you just copy and paste the code from the tutorial into the editor, you might be able to get everything running, but you will miss out on understanding what the code actually does. Since you will be using GWT in the project you should spend more time to understand the code. Step 1 – Eclipse Installation (skip steps 1-3 if software is already installed in lab) Download Eclipse 4.3 (Kepler) from this site: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-standard- 43/keplerr Be sure to select the appropriate version for your operating system. Even if you have an old version of Eclipse, you must install Eclipse 4.3 for this course. I also recommend creating a new directory to use as your workspace for CPSC 310; do not reuse a workspace that you’ve used previously.

  • Migrating Mathematical Programs to Web Interface Frameworks
    Submitted by Hsuan-Ming Chen Submitted at Research Institute for Symbolic Computation Supervisor Prof. Wolfgang Schreiner Migrating April 2019 Mathematical Programs to Web Interface Frameworks Master Thesis to obtain the academic degree of Master of Science in the Master’s Program Internationaler Universitätslehrgang: Informatics: Engineering & Management JOHANNES KEPLER UNIVERSITY LINZ Altenberger Str. 69 4040 Linz, Austria www.jku.at DVR 0093696 ABSTRACT A mathematical software system, the RISC Algorithm Language (RISCAL), has been implemented in Java; however, it can be only executed on the local machine of the user. The aim of this master thesis is to migrate RISCAL to the web, such that users can access the software via a conventional web browser without needing a local installation of the software. In a preparatory phase, this thesis evaluates various web interface frameworks and how these can be executed on the web. Based in the result of this investigation which compares the advantages and disadvantages of the frameworks, one framework is selected as the most promising candidate for future work. The core of the thesis is then the migration of RISCAL to the web on the basis of this framework and the subsequent evaluation of how the demands have been met and how well all of the RISCAL programs are working after the migration. April 4, 2019 Hsuan-Ming Chen 2/85 ACKNOWLEDGMENT First of all, I am grateful to Professor Bruno Buchberger for providing the opportunity to attend this program and giving every resource and help which he can support. Second, I am truly thankful to my advisor, Professor Wolfgang Schreiner, for offering me everything I need and solving the issues which I encountered during the research.
