R e s e a r c h Over the past few years I have done research in various fields of study. From Hydrogen powered vehicles to the Semantic Web, I have done research in areas that have sparked my interest. Some things that will be listed my not be actual research projects, instead they are ideas for components or businesses. If you woul like to borrow an idea that I have listed send me an e-mail and we can discuss various ways of implementing the idea into a working project. If you are lucky I might have even coded or built a concept already and just haven't listed it on the web yet.
Latest Ideas/Research:I have computed all the prime numbers between 1 and 1,000,000,000 to date. With a few more weeks to go before the end of the semester I am hoping to reach 1,500,000,000 before I have to shut down the computer and graduate. I am using the Primes.jar file to compute these numbers and have yet to create a program to go through and check these numbers to ensure they are definately prime. Regardless, the algorithm I am using, if I programmed it correctly, should already guarantee this accuracy.
I have also tested all numbers from 2 through 117,000,000,000 to see if any numbers can not be reduced to 1 via the 3n + 1 algorithm. The code for this has been posted.
PowerTools.jar - Java JAR file that allows a user to store usernames, passwords, and the related web page URLs within a file and encrypted. The JAR file should be able to run on any platform. The program is still under development and will be replaced with updated versions over time. The code is not yet available.
Compound Interest.html - A simple interest calculator that is still in the development stages. However it will do a good job at approximating the interest earned on a balance.
3nplus1.jar - Java JAR file that lets a user pick a number to start computing from and then increments by one to see if any number cannot be reduced by the 3n+1 algorithm. The program does not display every number, it will show each 1,000,000. If a number cannot be reduced it will output that number and ask for the program to be continue on. The code is 3nplus1 Java.
Primes.jar - Java JAR file that lets a user pick an output file, starting number, and number of primes to calculate. Uses Java's implementation of ProbablyPrime plu the Square Root Rule for prime numbers. The source code can be found here, Prime Java.
Pohlig-Hellman Cipher - A simple implemenation of the Pohlig-Hellman cipher using Javascript.
Prime Numbers - A listing of all prime numbers from 2 to 28,146,689. I used Mathematica to generate the file however I will be writing my own program to generate all the numbers shortly. When the program is finished I will have it uploading and an example document for results. Yes this should be good for both Linux/Unix and Windows. (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19...)
RDF Tools - A basic program I built that will cut up RDF files based on number of lines and checks for basic tag matching. First program I've built using threads, written in VB.NET, MS Windows only, may port it over to OS X or Linux later.
Hydrogen Economy - This report describes a potential first step in heading towards a Hydrogen Economy by first introducing Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines and then later on Fuel Cell vehicles.
A Star in the Sand - The report gives an overview of the creation of Israel from the 2nd Century AD through the Uganda Program into the modern day conflicts dealing with the barrier being built.
