Title: AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE USE OF THE INSTRUCTION SET OF THE IBM SERIES/1 COMPUTER.
Creator: KELLY, NORMAN HOWARD., Florida Atlantic University, Coulter, Neal S.
Abstract/Description: This investigation consisted of analyzing the source code of one of the IBM Series/1's operating systems, the Event Driven Executive, and one of its Application Program Products, the Multiple Terminal Monitor, for combinations of existing hardware mnemonic instructions. Such instructions could possibly be vertically migrated into new single mnemonic hardware instructions, thus improving system performance. Two pairs of instructions were found which seem to be strong candidates for such...
Show moreThis investigation consisted of analyzing the source code of one of the IBM Series/1's operating systems, the Event Driven Executive, and one of its Application Program Products, the Multiple Terminal Monitor, for combinations of existing hardware mnemonic instructions. Such instructions could possibly be vertically migrated into new single mnemonic hardware instructions, thus improving system performance. Two pairs of instructions were found which seem to be strong candidates for such vertical migration. Many instructions available on the Series/1 were not used in any of the modules examined. This suggests that some hardware instructions could be eliminated.

Title: Tomorrow’s Heroines Fighting Today’s Demons: Dystopia in The Hunger Games and Divergent Series.
Creator: Gleyzer, Marianna, Brown, Susan Love, Florida Atlantic University, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Anthropology
Abstract/Description: Through a close analysis of Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games series and Veronica Roth’s Divergent series, it will be shown that these two-current young adult dystopian book-film crossovers pose several relevant parallels to contemporary real-world problems. By deciphering a pattern on what garners their popularity, and most importantly analyzing the aspect of why they reached such levels of recognition, we can then begin to close in on just how important these two series are in representing the...
Show moreThrough a close analysis of Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games series and Veronica Roth’s Divergent series, it will be shown that these two-current young adult dystopian book-film crossovers pose several relevant parallels to contemporary real-world problems. By deciphering a pattern on what garners their popularity, and most importantly analyzing the aspect of why they reached such levels of recognition, we can then begin to close in on just how important these two series are in representing the 21st century young American mindset. Taking into the equation also, how the overall-arching genre of dystopia has evolved with the times and has now adapted to reflect contemporary anxieties and fears. Looking into several elements such as a newfound desire for strong female roles, persuasive antagonists that are inspired by realistic historical precedents, and an unsettling desensitization towards violence and gore, we can then see that the successful equation of The Hunger Games and Divergent series reflects mainstream interests evocatively and effectively. It is not just an intervention into the encompassing utopian/dystopian tradition, but into today’s sociology.

Title: On the Study of the Aizawa System.
Creator: Fleurantin, Emmanuel, Mireles-James, Jason D., Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Mathematical Sciences
Abstract/Description: In this report we study the Aizawa field by first computing a Taylor series expansion for the solution of an initial value problem. We then look for singularities (equilibrium points) of the field and plot the set of solutions which lie in the linear subspace spanned by the eigenvectors. Finally, we use the Parameterization Method to compute one and two dimensional stable and unstable manifolds of equilibria for the system.

Title: THE VOICE NOT FROM RIVIA: SILENCE, ECOFEMINISM, AND THEIR LIMITS IN THE WITCHER SERIES.
Creator: King, Bryce Lyne, Miller, Timothy, Florida Atlantic University, Department of English, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters
Abstract/Description: The Witcher book series by Andrzej Sapkowski and the corresponding The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt video game by CD Projekt RED intersectionally relate the feminine to the natural in their joint secondary world of the Continent, and in doing so rely on the “key feminine,” a term to describe a female character who embodies the feminine ideals of the secondary world while also saving it from environmental disaster, yet not being representative of it, deconstructing the goddess and witch dichotomy....
Show moreThe Witcher book series by Andrzej Sapkowski and the corresponding The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt video game by CD Projekt RED intersectionally relate the feminine to the natural in their joint secondary world of the Continent, and in doing so rely on the “key feminine,” a term to describe a female character who embodies the feminine ideals of the secondary world while also saving it from environmental disaster, yet not being representative of it, deconstructing the goddess and witch dichotomy. Geralt’s predispositions as a witcher places him in conflict with nature, but his moral code and decisive silence allow for a space in which, though the two occur independently and jointly, the voice of the feminine and the voice of the nonhuman world can be heard on their own terms, instead of through the objective filtering of the hero. Yet, in this space of voices and silence, the natural world remains opposed to the protagonists, which CD Projekt RED elevates to monstrifying the natural in opposition to the player, giving voices to some zoomorphic and anthropomorphic monsters, but leaving other nonhuman ecomorphic creatures without voice, encouraging anthropocentric dominance over the environment.

Title: A MAINTENANCE PROCESSOR FOR THE IBM SERIES/1 (SERVICE, DIAGNOSTIC).
Creator: MURPHY, DAVID JAMES, III., Florida Atlantic University, Fernandez, Eduardo B., College of Engineering and Computer Science, Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Abstract/Description: As the Series/1 is used in more complex, unattended, or critical applications, users of the product cannot tolerate the mean time to repair of the current field service support. Long waits for technicians to arrive, troubleshoot the system, and repair or replace parts are no longer acceptable.

Show moreAs the Series/1 is used in more complex, unattended, or critical applications, users of the product cannot tolerate the mean time to repair of the current field service support. Long waits for technicians to arrive, troubleshoot the system, and repair or replace parts are no longer acceptable. This thesis presents the system architecture and functional capabilities of a maintenance processor for the Series/1. The maintenance processor designed herein can be used as the focal point of most system support activities. This approach has been used in mainframe systems for some time but has not, in the past, been deemed feasible for smaller systerns such as the Series/1. This effort demonstrates the feasibility of a maintenance processor in such systems, resulting in a simplification of hardware and software while providing a significant improvement in total system reliability, availability, and serviceability.

Title: Norm Inequalities for the Fourier Coefficients of Some Almost Periodic Functions.
Creator: Boryshchak, Yarema, Sagher, Yoram, Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Mathematical Sciences
Abstract/Description: Using C. Fefferman's embedding of a charge space in a measure space allows us to apply standard interpolation theorems to the establishment of norm inequalities for Besicovitch almost periodic functions. This yields a significant improvement to the results of A. Avantaggiati, G. Bruno and R. Iannacci.

Title: “THIS LAND IS IN MY BONES”: WITCHES, MAGIC, AND ECOLOGICAL RELATIONALITY IN TERRY PRATCHETT’S TIFFANY ACHING SERIES.
Creator: Peebles, Amanda, Miller, Timothy, Florida Atlantic University, Department of English, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters
Abstract/Description: Tiffany Aching and the Witches of the Discworld Series use knowledge that is based on working with and connecting to the natural world instead of against it, primarily through their use of magic without using magic and their use of “headology,” to create the desired effect without detriment to the ecology of the Discworld. This puts them in contrast with the male, Unseen-University wizards, whose magic works against the ecology of the Discworld as it changes and corrupts the world around it....
Show moreTiffany Aching and the Witches of the Discworld Series use knowledge that is based on working with and connecting to the natural world instead of against it, primarily through their use of magic without using magic and their use of “headology,” to create the desired effect without detriment to the ecology of the Discworld. This puts them in contrast with the male, Unseen-University wizards, whose magic works against the ecology of the Discworld as it changes and corrupts the world around it. Further, the relationship that Tiffany Aching has within her home, the land she was born in, and her ecology becomes a nexus between the natural world and human communities. This connection between herself and her land is comparable to the one that Ged learns through his journey in Ursula K. Le Guin’s A Wizard of Earthsea. This connection between the authors is not simply a categorical one but one that connects them, their work, and an ideological push against individualism that relies on interconnectedness between species.

Show moreThe outputs of two available cross compilers for the M68HC11 processor are examined to develop an understanding of the conditions affecting the object code size efficiency of an optimizing C compiler for the M68HC11 processor. The types of optimizations that reduce the size of the code and are not currently implemented by these compilers are described and quantified. In addition, since the object code sizes of the C programs compiled by these compilers are considerably larger than the object code sizes of comparable assembly language programs, these differences are also examined. The reasons for these differences are also described and quantified. Implementation recommendations are then presented.
