The Parallelization and Optimization of the N-Body Problem using OpenMP and Cuda
This research paper aims at exploiting efficient ways of implementing the N-Body problem. The N-Body problem, in the field of physics, predicts the movements and planets and their gravitational interactions. In this paper, the efficient execution of heavy computational work through usage of different cores in CPU and GPU is looked into; achieved by integrating the OpenMP parallelization API and the Nvidia CUDA into the code. The paper also aims at performance analysis of various algorithms used to solve the same problem. This research not only aids as an alternative to complex simulations but also for bigger data that requires work distribution and computationally expensive procedures.

GenNet: A Tool for Qualitative and Quantitative Modelling of Gene Regulatory Networks
Gene regulatory networks have an important role to study the behaviour of genes. By analysing
these Gene Regulatory Networks we can get the detailed information i.e. the occurrence of diseases by
changing behaviour of GRNs. Many different approaches are used (i.e. qualitative modelling and hybrid
modelling) and various tools (i.e. GenoTech, GINsim) have been developed to model and simulate gene
regulatory networks. GenoTech allows the user to specify a GRN on Graphical User Interface (GUI) according
to the asynchronous multivalued logical functions of René Thomas, and to simulate and/or analyse its
qualitative dynamical behaviour. René
Thomas discrete modelling of gene regulatory network (GRN) is a
well known approach to study the dynamics of genes. It deals with some parameters which reflect the possible
targets of trajectories. Those parameters are priory unknown. These unknown parameters are fetched using
another model checking tool SMBioNet. SMBioNet produces all the possible parameters satisfying the given
Computational Logic Tree (CTL) formula as input. This approach involving logical parameters and conditions
also known as qualitative modelling of GRN. However, this approach neglects the time delays for a gene to
pass from one level of expression to another one i.e. inhibition to activation and vice versa. To find out these
time delays, another modelling tool HyTech is used to perform hybrid modelling of GRN.
We have developed a Java based tool called GenNet http://asanian.com/gennet to facilitate the
model checking user by providing a unique GUI layout for both qualitative and quantitative modelling of GRNs.
As we discussed, three separate modelling tools are used for complete modelling and analysis of a GRN. This
process is much lengthy and takes too much time. GenNet assists the modelling users by providing some extra
features i.e. CTL editor, parameters filtering and input/output files management.
GenNet takes a GRN network as input and does all the rest of computations i.e. CTL verification,
K-parameters generation, parameter implication to GRN, state graph, hybrid modelling and parameter
filtration automatically. GenNet serves the user by computing the results within seconds that were taking hours
and days of manual computation

Base de datos NoSQL Persistencia Políglota
En los últimos años se ha visto un auge en el uso de los sistemas de bases de datos NoSQL y junto a ello se ha popularizado la idea de aplicaciones de Persistencia Políglota. Esta consiste en que gracias a la gran variedad y cantidad de datos, y los diversos servicios que pueden dar las aplicaciones hoy en día, es probable que un único tipo de sistema de almacenamiento no sea capaz de cubrir de forma eficiente todas las necesidades de la aplicación. En este articulo se dará una idea general de las Aplicaciones de Persistencia Políglota dando información acerca de su funcionamiento, arquitectura y motivación; y ademas se hablara específicamente de como aplicar la Persistencia Políglota con MongoDB y Neo4j.

Security Systems : Facial Recognition using MATLAB
Biometric refers to the automatic identification of a person based on his or her physiological and individual characteristics that can be easily verified. Among the featured measures of this system are face, fingerprint, speech recognition, retinal and signature etc. To fortify the actual presence of a real trait against a fake self-generated sample biometric system is used. In this research paper, the focus is laid on basic techniques for security system. Face recognition. In face recognition, facial recognition algorithms identify facial features by extracting landmarks, or features, from an image of the subject’s face. [1]We can apply it to the servo motors using train database and test database. If the data matches the train database, it sends the command to the servo motors which in turn will open the door. [2]The UI displays ACCESS ACCEPTED or ACCESS DENIED based on the recognition using test and trained databases.This system is implemented using MATLAB.

Measurement of the dynamic viscosity of Canola Oil using a ball drop
The viscosity of a particular fluid is an interesting parameter that plays an important role in fluid dynamics of that fluid. We chose the common household cooking item canola oil. Using a ball drop, we set out to measure viscosity at various temperatures and create a model for the viscosity of canola oil as a function of temperature, as well as an accurate measurement for viscosity at room temperature. It was found that the viscosity between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius can be approximated using an exponential function and that an estimation for viscosity at room temperature was not very difficult to obtain. The precision of this measurement was limited by uncertainty in lab equipment used to measure various quantities as well as the image analysis software we used and the limited frame-rate of our camera.

Errors and Uncertainties - Lab Report
Physics being an experimental science, we sought to learn how to prepare a lab and perform as a team accounting for errors and uncertainties and to reduce them. We gathered values for volume using Micrometer, gathered information on acceleration, velocity, and created a histogram using a PASCO motion sensor. A jumping experiment was also performed with a human and the motion sensor. Our main goal was to test the effects of human error and eliminating mechanical error.

Study the OFDM Transmitter System on Matlab
Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a method of encoding digital data on multiple carrier frequencies. OFDM has developed into a popular scheme for wideband digital communication, used in applications such as digital television and audio broadcasting, DSL Internet access, wireless networks, powerline networks, and 4G mobile communications..

Barómetro
El barómetro es un instrumento de medición atmosérica, específicamente utilizado en la determinación de la fuerza por unidad de superficie ejercida por el peso de la atmósfera. Existe un gran número de equipos atmoféricos con distintos tipos de estos aparátos y son diariamente utilizados ya que la presión atmosférica juega un papel importante en la determinación y pronóstico del tiempo así como en el área de investigación al momento de realizarse experimentos ya que pueden llegar a afectar o hacer variar el funcionamiento de muchos aparatos electrónicos y mecánicos.

Modifying Linux Kernel
In this document we focus on modifying the Linux Kernel through memory and scheduler parameters. The main objective is to study the performance of a computer during the execution of AIO-Stress Benchmark. It was necessary to run the test several times since three of the parameter mentioned in this project were modified 5 times. After completing the test, the results were displayed on graphs, showing that all the variables have a noticeable influence on the performance of the computer.
