    Genefinding
    (Rice University, 2004-02-13) Hughes, Andrew
    Genefinding - the basic structure of the course attempts to answer the following questions: 1) What is genefinding? 2) Why do we care? 3) Why is it difficult? What is the challenge? 4) What's being done currently? What are the current methods? 5) How are we doing? Emphasis is placed heavily on computational methods for genefinding with discussion as to how the compliment experimental gene finding methods.

    Text as Property/Property as Text
    (Rice University, 2004-04-23) Kelty, Christopher
    Ownership, authorship, plagiarism, intellectual property, parody, critique, re-use, credit, reputation, allusion, imitation, patronage, payment, piracy, creativity, originality, borrowing, lending, stealing, quoting, citing, lifting, re-writing, translating, acting, performing, impersonating, collaborating, re-creating, editing, sampling, sharing. If you can distinguish between all these activities, legally, morally, culturally and historically, then you don't need our class. If on the other hand, you want to know why ancient Romans sampled Virgil so often, or why some plagiarism is art and some is crime, or what could happen to manuscripts in antiquity when they circulated, or why the RIAA is suing thousands of college students, or how Martial and Galen thought about ownership, payment and credit, or how Hollywood does so, or whether Christians should be allowed to "share" their message, then this is your class.

    Array Signal Processing
    (Rice University, 2005-09-12) Bass, Jeremy; McPheeters, Claiborne; Finnigan, James; Rodriguez, Edward
    This is our ELEC 301 Project for the Fall 2004 semester. We implemented a uniform linear array of six microphones. We then sampled the data and analyzed it in LabVIEW in order to to listen in one direction. We also explored listening for a particular frequency and its direction.

    Naive Room Response Deconvolution
    (Rice University, 2005-12-14) Howison, William; Lamontagne, Chris; Luna, Bryce; Newell,David
    ELEC 301 project by William Howison, Chris Lamontagne, Bryce Luna, and David Newell. Given the output of a system and the system characteristics we can determine the input. We will determine the system characteristics of two rooms by playing an (approximate) impulse and recording the impulse response, and then we will play music into the same rooms and record the output. Using MATLAB we will deconvolve the output with the system response to determine a rough approximation of the input.

    Intelligent Motion Detection Using Compressed Sensing
    (Rice University, 2005-12-23) Johnston, Heather; Gupta, Siddharth; Lee, Grant; Padmanabhan, Veena
    We explore intelligent motion detecting using compressed sensing. Starting from the proof-of-concept that motion can be detected, we have created an algorithm to deterministically compute the speed of a known object under idealized conditions. We provide an explanation of its validity based on Parseval’s Theorem and propose an upper velocity resolution limit for our computation. A framework is provided for extending our work with support vector machines to automatically classify observed motion.
