Numerical Simulation of a Thouless Pump

Creator:: Wall, Bryce
Abstract:: At the macroscopic scale, we have pumps that use the classical laws of physics to move liquids at a well defined rate. In the microscopic world, physicists are exploring pumps that make use of quantum mechanical behavior to build analogous pumps for quantum particles. The importance of such “quantum pumps”...

Music Generation and Evaluation Using R

Creator:: Lanz, Andrea L.
Abstract:: The main goal of this project is to implement an algorithmic music composition procedure and present all procedures and results in a reproducible fashion by creating a web application produced by R. To approach the implementation of the algorithmic composition of music, we start by exploring various models, but ultimately...

Polynomial Chaos Expansions for Random Ordinary Differential Equations

Creator:: McKenzie, Brian
Abstract:: We consider numerical methods for finding approximate solutions to Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) with parameters distributed with some probability by the Generalized Polynomial Chaos (GPC) approach. In particular, we consider those with forcing functions that have a random parameter in both the scalar and vector case. We then consider linear...

Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Undergraduate Engineering Students: Perspectives, Resiliency, and Suggestions for Improving Engineering Education

Creator:: Haverkamp, Andrea E.
Abstract:: Gender has been the subject of study in engineering education and science social research for decades. However, little attention has been given to transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) experiences or perspectives. The role of cisgender or gender conforming status has not been investigated nor considered in prevailing frameworks of gender...

Modeling the Dynamics of Vector–host Interactions in Avian Communities: Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus as a Model System

Creator:: Muller, Timothy
Abstract:: Understanding the dynamics of seasonal epizootics of vector-borne pathogens infecting multiple host species presents several challenges. The transmission potential of competent hosts depends on factors influencing the contact rate between hosts and vectors. Feeding preferences of vectors can determine which host species drive the prevalence of infection throughout the overall...

Simulator for optimizing performance and power of embedded multicore processors

Creator:: Goska, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: This work presents improvements to a multi-core performance/power simulator. The improvements which include updated power models, voltage scaling aware models, and an application specific benchmark, are done to increase the accuracy of power models under voltage and frequency scaling. Improvements to the simulator enable more accurate design space exploration for...

A Ross-Macdonald Model with Vector Demography

Creator:: Reyes Grimaldo, Ricardo Noe Gerardo
Abstract:: Malaria is a vector-borne disease that has affected humans and other animals for a long time and which has shown high prevalence among different populations. During the beginning of the 20th century, Sir Ronald Ross and George Macdonald developed a model that represents the spread of malaria through the interaction...

Characterizing Microplastic Ingestion in Black Rockfish (Sebastes melanops) along the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Lasdin, Katherine S.
Abstract:: Microplastics (<5mm diameter) are present in a considerable number of marine and aquatic species. Understanding which species, the global spatial distribution, and what quantities of microplastics are present is extremely important for understanding the potential impacts they could have on recreationally important organisms and for the assessment of risk. We...

Skew diffusion with drift : a new class of stochastic processes with applications to parabolic equations with piecewise smooth coefficients

Creator:: Arachchi Appuhamillage, Thilanka Iresh
Abstract:: This thesis consists of three subsequent parts addressing the applications of stochastic processes to the analysis and solutions of parabolic equations with discontinuous coefficients that are of mathematical interest. The first two parts consist of three manuscripts, in which we analyze solutions of Fickian convection dispersion equations with discontinuous coefficients...

The influence of biophysical feedbacks and species interactions on grass invasions and coastal dune morphology in the Pacific Northwest, USA

Creator:: Zarnetske, Phoebe Lehmann
Abstract:: Biological invasions provide a unique opportunity to study the mechanisms that regulate community composition and ecosystem function. Invasive species that are also ecosystem engineers can substantially alter physical features in an environment, and this can lead to cascading effects on the biological community. Aquatic-terrestrial interface ecosystems are excellent systems to...
