SHM Racer : dynamic race condition detection using shared memory traps
… built a race condition detector, SHM Racer, using an assortment of thread safety violation/data race violation detection methods. The objective of this report was to demonstrate the tradeoffs/benefits of certain race condition finding tools, and construct a tool that could minimize …

Error Correction in Next Generation DNA Sequencing Data
… Results: We have designed and implemented RACER (Rapid Accurate Correction of Errors in Reads), an error correction program that targets the Illumina genome sequencer, which is currently the dominant NGS technology. RACER combines advanced data structures with an intricate analysis of data …

Using calculus of variations to optimize paths of descent through ski race courses
… fastest. By knowing what the fastest path is, a racer could shave tenths of seconds off his or her time. That is a tremendous amount of time considering that races are won by hundredths of a second. This thesis attempts to calculate the fastest path through a ski race course using several …

Multiple-Path Generation to Improve Autonomous Vehicle Planning
… autonomous vehicle software stack for DARPA’s Racer challenge and compare its performance to the current implementation. Through testing performed in simulation on topologies of interest to the Nebula group, we find that the proposed framework results in a 37% increase in average speed and a …

Error Correction and de novo Genome Assembly of DNA Sequencing Data
… I present an error correction program called RACER that is an error correction program that aims to correct substitution sequencing errors. There are many substitution error correction programs available for DNA sequencing technologies, so it is important for biologists to know which program …

Differentially expressed genes in aortic cells from atherosclerosis-resistant and atherosclerosis-susceptible pigeons
… expressed between White Carneau (WC) and Show Racer (SR) pigeon aortic smooth muscle cells. The gene(s) responsible for atherosclerotic resistance in cultured SR smooth muscle cells (SMC) were hypothesized to be silent or down regulated in the WC. In the reciprocal experiments, it was …

INVOLVEMENT OF LYSOSOMES IN SPONTANEOUS ATHEROGENESIS AND THE EFFECTS OF ESTROGENS
… Carneau (WC) and atherosclerosis-resistant Show Racer (SR) pigeons at 1 day, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 6 years of age. Isolated arterial segments were also incubated with 17B-estradiol at physiological temperatures to determine the effect on lysosomal fragility and enzyme activities.</p><p>Lysosomal …
