  • 2014 URCA Abstracts for Oral and Poster Presentations
    Oral & Poster Presentation Abstracts Katheryn Adam, Chemistry Faculty Mentor: Marco Bonizzoni, Chemistry An off-the-shelf sensing system for physiologically relevant phosphates We have developed a chemical sensing system that can differentiate biologically relevant phosphates (nucleoside diphosphates, pyrophosphate) in neutral water solution using only commercially available components. Our approach uses a common fluorescent indicator and a poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) polycationic receptor to construct an indicator displacement assay (IDA). The system crucially relies on multivariate data collection and analysis. In fact, using different phosphates in the dye-displacement assay results in subtle differences in the optical signals; however, it is not possible to capture this information using classical univariate data presentation techniques. Instead, we rely on principal component analysis, a multivariate data analysis technique, to evaluate these differences and thus distinguish between the biologically relevant phosphates. We will also present supporting data reporting on the anion binding capabilities of the PAMAM system acquired using optical spectroscopy methods. Alison Adams, Biological Sciences Faculty Mentor: Laura Reed, Biological Sciences QTL affecting genotype-by-diet interactions of larval triglyceride levels Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a complex disease that is becoming increasingly prevalent in the world today. It is identified by an assortment of symptoms such as obesity, insulin resistance, and elevated blood lipids. This disease and its various phenotypes can be modeled in Drosophila melanogaster. In a previous study of MetS, our lab implemented a round-robin crossing scheme on approximately 800 isogenic lines from a recombinant inbred line population, and a linear regression was used to determine genotype, diet, and genotype-by-diet interactions.

  • Social Media Evaluation for Non-Profit Organizations
    Social media evaluation for non-profit organizations The case of Oxfam Italia Master Thesis Author: Giuseppe Antonio Coco Thesis Supervisor: Jessica Gustafsson Department of Informatics and Media Specialization in Digital Media & Society Uppsala University, Sweden Autumn 2014 Abstract The thesis presents an evaluation of the Facebook page of the Italian non-profit organization Oxfam Italia from November 2013 to March 2014. The research’s aim is to analyze the community which follows the organization, how this community interacts with it and how the moderators of the page communicate with its followers. The research aims also to find ways to increase Oxfam Italia’s performance on Facebook. The theoretical framework focuses on non-profit marketing and its peculiarities, Social Media Marketing and notions such as engagement and brand community. The methods used in the research consist in data mining and content analysis. Data have been gathered from Facebook Insights and through the issuing of FQL queries from the Facebook Graph API. The research found out that Oxfam has more female followers than male (62% vs 36,5%), the age range of them is 25-44 years. Oxfam’s presence, in particular, is very rooted in the region of Tuscany (where its headquarter is). Facebook followers showed a very good attitude toward the organization, even though criticisms are common, and Oxfam used its social media presence mainly to update the followers concerning ongoing activities and to urge to on-line activism. The users’ favourite engagement method was “liking” photographic contents.

    UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI BERGAMO Dipartimento di Ingegneria Corso di Laurea Specialistica in Ingegneria Informatica Classe n. 35/S - Classe delle lauree specialistiche in ingegneria dell’informazione MOOGLE: A WEB CRAWLER AND FULL-TEXT SEARCH APPLICATION FOR DISTRIBUTED PRIVATE DATA Relatore: Chiar.mo Prof. Stefano Paraboschi Tesi di Laurea Specialistica Paolo COFFETTI Matricola n. 42519 ANNO ACCADEMICO 2013/2014 Abstract You want to search for that sushi restaurant someone recommended you last month but you don't remember its name: you type "sushi restaurant" in your laptop and you get an old tweet from a friend talking about Tokyo Sushi. You also get a comment you wrote on Facebook, an SMS message you sent your brother and a bookmark in your browser, all about the same restaurant. And imagine that you can do this with your smart phone, your laptop, tablet or smart TV. Something so basic yet so far from the reality. This is Moogle - My Own Google, the search engine for private data. This thesis describes the work I accomplished in order to design, develop and deploy a first solid version of Moogle following the iterative and incremental software development process outlined by Grady Booch. 1 Acknowledgments First and foremost I'd like to thank my parents and sisters for their patience and the support they provided me during my studies. I also want to express my gratitude to Professor Stefano Paraboschi for his precious guidance. I wish to thank my girlfriend Boyang for her loving support and who, once again, had to deal with those long hours of my absence while working on this project.

An essential aspect of software development was using a modern server, and client tech- nologies React, GraphQL, and Apollo. The various stages of developing a web service included database design and manage- ment, responsive application design building, and implementing access control, pagination, sorting, filtering large amounts of data, grouping items, editing documents, etc. The thesis covers both the most critical aspects of developing these features, including the theoreti- cal part before. The main result of the thesis was the product itself - the Web service called Moffers. In ad- dition to this specific result, a lot of useful experience was gained, as well as knowledge of modern technologies and methods in JavaScript programming.

  • Introducing Facebook and the Facebook Platform
    05_277959-ch01.qxp 5/5/08 11:25 AM Page 9 Chapter 1 Introducing Facebook and the Facebook Platform In This Chapter ᮣ Getting to know Facebook ᮣ Exploring the Facebook Platform ᮣ Understanding what the Facebook API, FBML, FQL, and FBJS are ᮣ Figuring out where to get online developer information e hear all of the time about “platforms” in various walks of life. Political Wparties put their policies and agendas into documents called platforms. An Olympic diver performs a perfect dive off of a 10 meter platform on the way to a gold medal. Heck, platform tennis is a form of tennis that people play with paddles. Facebook too has its own platform — cleverly called the Facebook Platform. Fortunately for your coworkers, it is a platform that you don’t need a swim- suit or a paddle to use. You do need to know a Web programming language such as PHP or Java, however. Facebook gained popularity because of its structured environment and social network, but its Facebook Platform is proving to be a critical means of prevent- ing it from becoming the latest “flavor of the month.” Because of third-party applications,COPYRIGHTED Facebook now offers a compelling MATERIAL reason for users to invest themselves in Facebook.com in a way that they were never really able to do with social networking sites like MySpace. In fact, upon the Platform’s release, it was only a matter of weeks before users began to see thousands and thou- sands of Facebook-inspired applications from all sorts of developers — from major corporations to hobbyists working in their basements.
