Attempts to characterize microballoon sensors for shock velocity and material motion studies

Description: Optimization of performance of gas filled microballoons mounted on optical fibers as sensors for shock and material motion studies, was attempted by variation of several parameters. In some cases, results were not predictable and, in general, results were not as reproductible as desired. Change of some parameters caused little effect but effects of the sleeve size and sleeve material seem to be significant. Recorded shape of optical spectra match black-body temperature of 8000/sup 0/K when argo… more

Automated insertion of sequences into a ribosomal RNA alignment: An application of computational linguistics in molecular biology

Description: This thesis involved the construction of (1) a grammar that incorporates knowledge on base invariancy and secondary structure in a molecule and (2) a parser engine that uses the grammar to position bases into the structural subunits of the molecule. These concepts were combined with a novel pinning technique to form a tool that semi-automates insertion of a new species into the alignment for the 16S rRNA molecule (a component of the ribosome) maintained by Dr. Carl Woese's group at the Universi… more
