  • Enhanced inverse synthetic aperture radar imagery using 2-D spectral estimation

    Creator:
    Ohm, David R.
    Abstract:
    This research focused on the use of classical and modern two-dimensional spectral estimation techniques for enhancing inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imagery. 2-D Classical spectral estimation methods and 2-D modern parametric and non-parametric spectral estimation methods are applied to simulated and real data sets in order to achieve both range...

  • Benchmarking and Programming Practices for the Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor

    Creator:
    Leslie, William
    Abstract:
    The Intel Xeon Phi is a relative newcomer to the scientific computing scene. In the recent years, GPUs have been used extensively for mathematical simulations. The Xeon Phi is Intel’s response to the use of these cards. Like the GPU, it is highly parallelizable but can be programmed like a...

  • A novel method for zinc oxide nanowire sensor fabrication

    Creator:
    Pelatt, Brian D.
    Abstract:
    Interest in nanomaterials is motivated partly by their potential for sensor arrays to detect different gases. Nanowires in particular are of interest because their high surface-to-volume ratio promises the possibility of high sensitivity. However, because of their discrete quasi-one-dimensional geometry, electrical integration of nanowires into photolithographically defined devices and circuits...

  • Adversarial planning by strategy switching in a real-time strategy game

    Creator:
    King, Brian D.
    Abstract:
    We consider the problem of strategic adversarial planning in a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game. Strategic adversarial planning is the generation of a network of high-level tasks to satisfy goals while anticipating an adversary's actions. In this thesis we describe an abstract state and action space used for planning in an...

  • Machine Learning for Architectural Design Space Exploration and Resource Control

    Creator:
    Penney, Drew D.
    Abstract:
    Machine learning has enabled significant advancements in diverse fields, yet, with a few exceptions, has had limited impact on computer architecture. Recent work, however, has begun to explore broader application to design, optimization, and simulation. Notably, machine-learning-based strategies often surpass prior state-of-the-art analytical, heuristic, and human-expert approaches. This thesis first...

  • Mapping Software Development Tool Design to Information Foraging Theory

    Creator:
    Nabi, Md Tahmid-un
    Abstract:
    The design of programming tools is slow and costly. To ease this process, we have developed a design pattern catalog aimed at providing guidance about how to design tools for developers. This guidance is grounded in Information Foraging Theory (IFT), which empirical studies have shown to be useful for understanding...

  • Instability and temperature-dependence assessment of IGZO TFTs

    Creator:
    Hoshino, Ken
    Abstract:
    Amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOSs) are of great current interest for thin-film transistor (TFT) channel layer applications. In particular, indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) is under intense development for commercial applications because of its demonstrated high performance at low processing temperatures. The objective of the research presented in this thesis is...

  • Zinc tin oxide thin-film transistor circuits

    Creator:
    Heineck, Daniel Philip
    Abstract:
    The primary objective of this thesis is to develop a process for fabricating integrated circuits based on thin-film transistors (TFTs) using zinc tin oxide (ZTO) as the channel layer. ZTO, in contrast to indium- or gallium-based amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOS), is perceived to be a more commercially viable AOS choice...

  • Amorphous oxide semiconductor thin-film transistor ring oscillators and material assessment

    Creator:
    Sundholm, Eric Steven
    Abstract:
    Amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) thin-film transistors (TFTs) constitute the central theme of this thesis. Within this theme, three primary areas of focus are pursued. The first focus is the realization of a transparent three-stage ring oscillator with buffered output and an output frequency in the megahertz range. This leads to...

  • Detecting bad smells in spreadsheets

    Creator:
    Asavametha, Atipol
    Abstract:
    Spreadsheets are a widely used end-user programming tool. Field audits have found that 80-90% of spreadsheets created by end users contain textual and formula errors in spreadsheets. Such errors may have severe negative consequences for users in terms of productivity, credibility, or profits. To solve the problem of spreadsheet errors,...
