  • Duty-cycle controlled switched resistor techniques for continuously tunable, low-voltage circuits

    Creator:
    Kurahashi, Peter
    Abstract:
    A duty-cycle controlled switched resistor is a tunable resistive element that uses pulse width modulation as the method of tuning. This thesis will describe the operation of switched resistors and propose several circuit architectures that are well suited to the use of switched resistors. These architectures include filters, mixers, and...

  • Keeping your Friends Secret: Improving the Security, Effciency and Usability of Private Set Intersection

    Creator:
    Rindal, Peter B.
    Abstract:
    Private set intersection (PSI) allows two parties, who each hold a set of items, to compute the intersection of those sets without revealing anything about other items. Recent advances in PSI have significantly improved its performance for the case of semi-honest security, making semi-honest PSI a practical alternative to insecure...

  • A linear test bed for characterizing the performance of ocean wave energy converters

    Creator:
    Hogan, Peter M.
    Abstract:
    Determining the performance characteristics of various ocean wave energy converters (OWEC) has proven to be difficult due to problems replicating a baseline motion profile in the ocean or wave tank to compare these devices. The linear test bed seeks to mechanically simulate the relative linear motion between the active components...

  • On feature relevance feedback methods : incorporating labeled user features

    Creator:
    Oberst, Ian
    Abstract:
    In text classification, labeling features is often less time consuming than labeling entire documents. In situations where very little labeled training data is available, feature relevance feedback has the potential to dramatically increase classification performance. We review previous work on incorporating feature relevance feedback in the form of labeled features...

  • Supporting the learning process of open source novices : an evaluation of code and project history visualization tools

    Creator:
    Park, Yunrim
    Abstract:
    Active participation and collaboration of community members are crucial to the continuation and expansion of open source software projects. Researchers have recognized the value of community in open source development and studied various aspects of it including structure of communities, motivations for participation, and collaboration among members. However, the majority...

  • Theory and Implementation of a Variational Database Management System

    Creator:
    Ataei, Parisa S.
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, I present the variational database management system, a formal framework and its implementation for representing variation in relational databases and managing variational information needs. A variational database is intended to support any kind of variation in a database. Specific kinds of variation in databases have already been...

  • A Study of Planar and Spherical Stereographics for Visualization

    Creator:
    AlSalehy, Ali S.
    Abstract:
    ”Until relatively recently, mankind was not aware that there was a separable binocular depth sense. Through the ages, people like Euclid and Leonardo understood that we see different images of the world with each eye. But it was Wheatstone who in 1838 explained to the world, with his stereoscope and...

  • The Analysis of First Year Computer Science Design Documents

    Creator:
    Ernst, Shannon S.
    Abstract:
    Computer science is, at its core, about solving problems. The "Carry out the Plan" portion of problem solving is often examined and emphasized in CS 1 and CS 2, forgetting to emphasize the other important aspects of the problem solving process. This study focuses on the other problem-solving steps, which...

  • Towards Automating Type Changes

    Creator:
    Ketkar, Ameya S.
    Abstract:
    Developers frequently change the type of a program element and update all its references for performance, security, concurrency, library migration, or better maintainability. Despite type changes being a common program transformation, it is the least automated and the least studied. Manually performing type changes is tedious since the programmers have...

  • Hybrid visualization of asymmetric tensor fields : glyphs and hyperstreamlines

    Creator:
    Palke, Darrel
    Abstract:
    Asymmetric tensor fields are useful for understanding fluid flow and solid deformation. They present new challenges, however, for traditional tensor field visualization techniques such as hyperstreamline placement and glyph packing. This is because the physical behavior of tensors inside real domains where eigenvalues are real is fundamentally different from the...
