  • Path-based dynamic impact analysis

    Creator:
    Law, James (James Bruce)
    Abstract:
    Successful software systems evolve over their lifetimes through the cumulative changes made by software maintainers. As software evolves, the problems resulting from software change worsen, exacerbated by increased system size and complexity, lack of program understanding, amount of effort required to make changes, and number of personnel involved. Experience shows...

  • A comparison of substrate noise coupling in heavily doped and lightly doped substrates for mixed-signal circuits

    Creator:
    Ayers, James S.
    Abstract:
    An analysis of substrate noise coupling in mixed-signal circuits has been performed in the TSMC 0.25 [mu]m lightly doped and heavily doped CMOS processes. Methods to minimize noise coupling in both the chip design and board design phases are presented along with techniques for accurate circuit simulation of noise coupling....

  • Ultra-low power receivers for wireless sensor networks

    Creator:
    Ayers, James S.
    Abstract:
    In wireless sensor network applications, low-power operation of the wireless receiver is critical. To address this need an ultra-low power Binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK) receiver using the super-regenerative architecture is developed. A prototype receiver is built and tested for operation in the 900 MHz ISM band. Lab measurements show...

  • Optical Sensors using Biological Photonic Crystals

    Creator:
    Squire, Kenneth James
    Abstract:
    This dissertation focuses on the application of diatom frustules, the biosilica shell of an algae possessing physical and photonic properties capable of enhancing optical signals, for the enhancement of optical sensing. In this work, we incorporate diatom frustules into biosensors for signal enhancement and improved target molecule detection. The potential...

  • Methods for short-term prediction of wind speeds in the Pacific Northwest Columbia Gorge wind farm region

    Creator:
    Davidson, James D.
    Abstract:
    Variable electrical generation (VG) sources such as wind farms are an increasing percentage of total electrical generation in the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) balancing area and are starting to impact the ability of the regional balancing authority to control the electric grid. Wind farms are not dispatchable and challenge historical...

  • Power reduction of MPEG video decoding for mobile multimedia systems

    Creator:
    Lewis, James M.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to explore methods which can reduce the power dissipation of a mobile system while decoding MPEG video. MPEG decoding is a microprocessor intensive process that makes heavy use of both the L1 and L2 caches as well as main memory. The heavy load placed...

  • Switched Capacitor Circuit Techniques for High Performance CMOS Analog Circuits

    Creator:
    Kareppagoudr, Manjunath
    Abstract:
    Switched capacitor (SC) circuits are the main building blocks in many structures such as filters, data converters, sampling circuits and sampled-data amplifiers. The key challenge is to design such circuits which are the prime components of any IoT system with low power consumption without compromising on the performance. In this...

  • Parsing with Recurrent Neural Networks

    Creator:
    Cross, James Henry, III
    Abstract:
    Machine learning models for natural language processing have traditionally relied on large numbers of discrete features, built up from atomic categories such as word forms and part-of-speech labels, which are considered completely distinct from each other. Recently however, the advent of dense feature representations coupled with deep learning techniques has...

  • The Pursuit of Hoppiness : Propelling Hop into the Genomic Era

    Creator:
    Hill, Steven T.
    Abstract:
    Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var lupulus) is a plant of great cultural significance, used as a medicinal herb for thousands of years, and for flavor and as a preservative in brewing beer. Studies of the medicinal effects of the unique compounds produced by hop have led to interest from the...

  • Effects of interruption-style on end-user programmers

    Creator:
    Robertson, T. J. (Thomas James)
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the results of two studies that investigate the question of what interruption-styles are most appropriate for end-user programmers who are debugging programs. In the studies, end-user programmers are presented with surprises that encourage them to investigate, use, and learn about debugging devices in their programming environment. We...
