  • Using provenance to aid document re-finding

    Creator:
    Lonsdale, Heather
    Abstract:
    In the field of Human-Computer Interaction, provenance refers to the complete history and genealogy of a document. Provenance can be useful in identifying related resources, such as different versions of the same document or resources used in the creation of a new document. Though methods of provenance collection and applications...

    Creator:
    Midy, Marie-Anne
    Abstract:
    Nowadays, sports events are a significant part of the every-day entertainment with local, national, and international championships. A lot of money is invested by broadcasting companies to attract new and more viewers, acquire broadcasting rights, or send entire crews on site to cover such events. Journalists are among the few...

  • Explaining debugging strategies to end-user programmers

    Creator:
    Subrahmaniyan, Neeraja
    Abstract:
    There has been little research into how end-user programming environments can provide explanations that could fill a critical information gap for end-user debuggers – help with debugging strategy. To address this need, we designed and prototyped a video-based approach for explaining debugging strategy, and accompanied it with a text-only approach....

  • Evaluation of the stray load losses for a three-phase induction motor

    Creator:
    Nagornyy, Aleksandr S.
    Abstract:
    The evaluation of the stray-load losses in induction motors is an important part of the efficiency estimation process. However, stray-load losses have several components which are difficult to isolate and calculate. Consequently, they are more readily determined by test. IEEE Standard 112-1996 recommends the testing of electrical induction motors at...

  • Contributions to substrate noise due to supply coupling and pin parasitics

    Creator:
    Adluri, Sirisha
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the contributions to substrate noise due to supply coupling and the effect of pin parasitics on the substrate noise generated by digital circuits. Various sources of substrate noise and their effect on analog circuits sharing the same substrate are discussed. A simulation approach to isolate the various...

  • Continuous time input pipeline ADCs

    Creator:
    Gubbins, David Patrick
    Abstract:
    Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) convert analog continuous time signals into discrete time, digital format. One precondition that must be met for conventional nyquist rate ADCs is that the input signal must be suitably band-limited to an input bandwidth less than the nyquist frequency. This mandates expensive anti-alias filters which contribute to...

  • Getting to local information : the role of different costs

    Creator:
    Rajaram, Vidya
    Abstract:
    Finding information can cost a significant amount of time, even when the information is already stored on the user’s local computer system. There is significant research aimed at reducing these time costs, but little research into exactly what these costs are or how they impact people’s use of tools and...
