  • Creating and editing motion machines for 3D characters

    Creator:
    Korada, Suman
    Abstract:
    Recent efforts in user-control of data-driven characters have focused on designing high-level graph data-structures that we call a Behavior Finite State Machine (BFSM). A BFSM is an interactive data-structure that benefits from the advantages of both motion graphs and blend-based techniques for generating animated motion. Each node in a BFSM...

  • Seismic Performance of Square Reinforced Concrete Columns Retrofitted with Titanium Alloy Bars

    Creator:
    Lostra, Mackenzie M. W.
    Abstract:
    Large numbers of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges were built in the past that are now considered seismically deficient. The structural members most likely to be considered deficient are the supporting columns. Typical deficient columns contain inadequate transverse reinforcement and poorly detailed lap splice lengths above the foundation. Insufficient lap splice...

  • Application of Cosmogenic Nuclides and Argon Geochronology to Paleoclimate, Paleomagnetism, and Paleohydrology

    Creator:
    Balbas, Andrea M.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation uses argon geochronology and cosmogenic nuclide surface exposure dating methods to address three research questions. The first question concerns a geomagnetic instability recorded in lava flows on the island of Floreana in the Galapagos Archipelago. Changes in the Earth’s magnetic field (intensity and orientation) occur frequently throughout geologic...

  • Evaluation of Parallel Monte Carlo Tree Search Algorithms in Python

    Creator:
    Jothi, Shankar
    Abstract:
    Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is an online-planning algorithm for decision-theoretic planning in domains with stochastic and combinatorial structure. The general applicability of MCTS makes it an ideal first choice to investigate when developing planners for complex applications requiring automated control and planning. The first contribution of this thesis is to...

  • Staying Consistent: Discipline-Specific Language Used in Introductory CS Curricula

    Creator:
    Weber, Jason
    Abstract:
    The understanding of Discipline-Specific Language is an important competency for students of any field to begin mastering early in their studies, since it serves as a prerequisite for both the analysis of expert text and precise communication. Therefore, an introductory curriculum should pay careful attention to how it incorporates, defines,...

  • Tensor Field Design and Analysis for Applications in Computer Graphics and Scientific Visualization

    Creator:
    Palacios, Jonathan
    Abstract:
    Many applications in computer graphics and geometry processing rely on the ability to locally orient 2D and 3D entities on a surface, or inside a volume, such as the sinusoidal kernels in Gabor noise, the color and geometry textures in pattern synthesis, and the finite elements in remeshing. In these...

  • Automated web-based analysis and visualization of spatiotemporal data

    Creator:
    Keon, Dylan B.
    Abstract:
    Most data are associated with a place, and many are also associated with a moment in time, a time interval, or another linked temporal component. Spatiotemporal data (i.e., data with elements of both space and time) can be used to assess movement or change over time in a particular location,...

  • Evaluating the Effects of Multiple Environmental Stressors on the Gulf of Alaska Pacific Cod Fishery Using a Dynamic Stress-Scape Framework

    Creator:
    Blaisdell, Josiah
    Abstract:
    The Gulf of Alaska (GOA) is home to the most productive fisheries in the world. In 2019, 2.2 million metric tons of fish were shipped from Alaska to destinations all over the world (NOAA Fisheries, 2019). From 2014-2016 and, more recently, in 2019 the largest heatwaves in recorded history caused...

  • Exploring the Relationship Between Scientists’ Perspectives on Learning and Engagement in Outreach

    Creator:
    Barthel, Cèleste Frazier
    Abstract:
    Over the last several decades, there has been a marked increase in the amount of science outreach to the public with little attention paid to how scientists who conduct outreach perceive learning and how that applies to their outreach activities. This increase in outreach efforts is linked to the National...

  • Adaptation-based programming

    Creator:
    Bauer, Tim
    Abstract:
    Partial programming is a field of study where users specify an outline or skeleton of a program, but leave various parts undefined. The undefined parts are then completed by an external mechanism to form a complete program. Adaptation-Based Programming (ABP) is a method of partial programming that utilizes techniques from...
