Comparing multiple approaches

The thesis research followed a constructivist assumption to claim knowledge. The strategy of inquiry was the case study taking the multiple-case, comparative design. Three case studies were conducted in this thesis. The research method mainly relied on open-ended interviews supported by semi-structured interviews and triangulations using documentation and archival records. It basically took the qualitative approach. The three case study organisations are typical large organisations and major employers of the Hong Kong IT workforce.

Parallel Implementation of MAFFT on CUDA-Enabled Graphics Hardware present a new approach to accelerat- ing MAFFT on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) using the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) programming model. Compared with the implementations of other MSA algorithms on GPUs, parallelization of MAFFT is more challenging since the space complexity.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs (~22 nucleotides) that regulate gene expression by cleaving mRNAs or inhibiting translation. The baboon is a well-characterized cardiovascular disease model; however, no baboon miRNAs have been identified. Evidence indicates that the baboon and human genomes are highly conserved; based on this conservation, we hypothesized that comparative genomic methods could be used to identify baboon miRNAs.
