The Applications of Regression Analysis in Auditing and Computer Systems

Description: This thesis describes regression analysis and shows how it can be used in account auditing and in computer system performance analysis. The study first introduces regression analysis techniques and statistics. Then, the use of regression analysis in auditing to detect "out of line" accounts and to determine audit sample size is discussed. These applications led to the concept of using regression analysis to predict job completion times in a computer system. The feasibility of this application o… more

Computerized Analysis of Radiograph Images of Embedded Objects as Applied to Bone Location and Mineral Content Measurement

Description: This investigation dealt with locating and measuring x-ray absorption of radiographic images. The methods developed provide a fast, accurate, minicomputer control, for analysis of embedded objects. A PDP/8 computer system was interfaced with a Joyce Loebl 3CS Microdensitometer and a Leeds & Northrup Recorder. Proposed algorithms for bone location and data smoothing work on a twelve-bit minicomputer. Designs of a software control program and operational procedure are presented. The filter made w… more

An English and Arabic Character Printer

Description: This paper is presented in satisfaction of the requirement for two problems in lieu of thesis which are required for the degree, Master of Science. The two problems are: (1) to provide an electric interface between the M6800 microprocessor and the printer; and (2) to design an Arabic character set and to provide the logic required for its implementation. As it would be artificial and impractical to document these problems separately, a single document here is provided.

Design and Implementation of a PDP-8 Computer Assembler Executing on the IBM 360/50 Computer

Description: This problem is intended to be an introduction to the design of a software system which translates PDP-8 assembly language source into it's machine-readable object code. This assembler runs on the IBM 360/50. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the basic PDP-8 assembly language. For the description and use of this assembler the reader is referred to the PAL-III SYMBOLIC ASSEMBLER PROGRAMMING MANUAL from DEC (order number DIGITAL 8-3-5, Digital Equipment Corporation: Maynard, Massachu… more

Simulation of the IBM System/7

Description: This thesis describes the simulation of the IBM SYSTEM/7. The research leading to this thesis involved the development of a PL/I computer program that runs on an IBM 360/50 computer and simulates the IBM SYSTEM/7. Various methods of simulation are examined and guidelines for computer simulation of another computer are established. The SYSTEM/7 simulator (SIM/7) is the heart of this thesis. SIM/7 simulates the IBM SYSTEM/7 entirely with software as opposed to an emulator which involves the combi… more

Computer Analysis of Amino Acid Chromatography

Description: The problem with which this research was done was that of applying the IBM360 computer to the analysis of waveforms from a Beckman model 120C liquid chromatograph. Software to interpret these waveforms was written in the PLl language. For a control run, input to the computer consisted of a digital tape containing the raw results of the chromatograph run. Output consisted of several graphs and charts giving the results of the analysis. In addition, punched output was provided which gave the name… more

A Distributed Logic Memory with Two-dimensional Access, as Applied to a Highly Parallel Processor

Description: Although more sophisticated designs of associative memories are not yet economically practical, with the dynamic advances in integrated circuitry currently taking place, the day appears not long off for an economical sophisticated associative memory to become a reality. This describes a general outline of a sophisticated DLM, but it also describes the actual logic involved in a building a working model. The design process involves formulating a set of commands sufficient to perform the desired … more

Macro Control Structures for Structured Programming in ALC

Description: This thesis describes a set of computer program control structures which permits the application of certain structured programming techniques to the IBM/360 assembly language (ALC). The control structures are implemented by programmerdefined instructions known as macros. A history of computer software is presented, providing a basis for the emergence of structured programming. A survey of the major concepts of structured programming with special attention to control structures and their signifi… more
