Thesis Abstract Diabetes mellitus characterized by hyperglycemia which associated with failure of various organs. Therefore, this study aims to investigate biological activity including the antioxidant, antibacterial and antidiabetic activities polyphenolic compound phlorotannis derived from Egyptian brown seaweed Cystoseira compressa Sargassum linifolium. Phlorotannis has been extracted confir...

This thesis aims at exploring the potential of heuristic search algorithms for Abstract Argumentation. Therefore specific backtracking search algorithms are presented, which support the use of heuristics. Thereafter several heuristics are defined which have been implemented as part of this thesis. These will then be experimentally compared among each other and with other approaches to Abstract ...

In 1985, Gurevich introduced Abstract State Machines (ASMs) as a computational model more powerful and universal than classical computational models. Since then ASMs have been applied successfully both in theory and practice: On the theoretical side, ASMs evolved to a general basis for the study of different classes of algorithms and their expressive power. On the practical side, ASMs have been...

Title of Thesis: GENDER AND DATING VIOLENCE Amber M. Foltz, Master of Arts, 2006 Thesis directed by: Assistant Professor Laura Dugan Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice This paper will analyze the impact of gender on dating violence offending patterns in a sample of college students in heterosexual dating relationships. Logistic regressions are utilized to examine the relationships b...

Traditional approaches using superimposed signals in wireless sensor networks have high demands on the hardware capabilities of a single network node. This work loosens these constraints and derives a communication system for low-resource wireless sensor networks requiring no complex signal processing, no fast A/D conversion, no carrier or phase synchronization. Therefore, it is applicable for ...

approved: _____________________________________________________________________ E. N. Mortensen R. F. Reitsma Traditional application of Voronoi diagrams for space partitioning creates Voronoi regions, with areas determined by the generators’ relative locations and weights. Especially in the area of information space (re)construction, however, there is a need for inverse solutions; i.e., findin...

Abstract Interpretation is a theory of sound approximation of program semantics. In recent decades, it has been widely and successfully applied to the static analysis of computer programs. In this thesis, we will work on abstract domains, one of the key concepts in abstract interpretation, which aim at automatically collecting information about the set of all possible values of the program vari...
