  • Identifiability-Aware Joint Sparse Error Correction For Robust State Estimation

    Creator:
    Kibria, Sharmin
    Abstract:
    We study joint nonlinear state estimation with multi-period measurement vectors that are potentially corrupted by sparse gross errors. The identifiability-aware approach is proposed to leverage common characteristics of fundamentally identifiable gross errors to enhance error correction performance. First, we derive a necessary rank condition that the sparsity pattern of any...

  • Bioeconomic Simulation Modeling of Fisheries : Three Essays

    Creator:
    Cusack, Christopher Inju
    Abstract:
    Researchers rely on bioeconomic models to guide research and generate fishery management advice for commercial fisheries. Due partly to a paradigm shift towards ecosystem based fishery management, increasing complexity in the characteristics of the problems has meant that bioeconomic simulation models are becoming more prevalent in the fisheries literature. However...

  • Advances in Modeling Natural Resource Management under Uncertainty : Forest Mortality, Policy Design, and the Value of Information

    Creator:
    Sloggy, Matthew R.
    Abstract:
    Advancing the understanding of natural resource management is an important step in mitigating the effects of human activity on the environment, and ensuring efficient outcomes for many sectors of the economy. As humanity’s role in the natural world becomes better understood, the importance of interdisciplinary modeling has grown in leaps...

  • Small group discussions in large lecture : connections between teacher facilitation and student participation

    Creator:
    Roth, Jennifer A. (Jennifer Albretsen)
    Abstract:
    An investigation was made to determine teacher facilitation techniques in large lecture physics classrooms that foster small group discussion. Video recordings of an introductory calculus-based physics class were taken for the 2008-2009 academic year at Oregon State University. These videos were analyzed to determine student participation in small group discussion...

  • The dynamic speculation and performance prediction of parallel loops

    Creator:
    Zier, David A.
    Abstract:
    General purpose computer systems have seen increased performance potential through the parallel processing capabilities of multicore processors. Yet this potential performance can only be attained through parallel applications, thus forcing software developers to rethink how everyday applications are designed. The most readily form of Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) within any...

  • Quantum and Classical Simulation of Electronic Transport at the Nanoscale

    Creator:
    Gruss, Daniel S.
    Abstract:
    Time-dependent electronic transport is increasingly important to the state-of-the-art device design and fabrication. The development of nanoscale sensing, the harnessing and control of structural fluctuations, and the advancement of next-generation materials all require a treatment of quantum dynamics beyond the level of traditional methods and a more nuanced approach to...

  • Power efficient H.264 video decoding in embedded multiprocessor

    Creator:
    Kim, Jihong
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a novel methodology that enables power efficient video decoding in an embedded system based on MPSoC (Multiprocessor System on Chip). This methodology is a physical combination of parallel processing which reduces power consumption of processors by exploiting thread-level parallelism and Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling (DVFS) that allows...

  • Data processing for anomaly detection in web-based applications

    Creator:
    Gaarudapuram Sriraghavan, Rajagopal
    Abstract:
    Web applications are popular attack targets. Misuse detection systems use signature databases to detect known attacks. However, it is difficult to keep the database up to date with the rate of discovery of vulnerabilities. They also cannot detect zero-day attacks. By contrast, anomaly detection systems learn the normal behavior of...

  • Offloading of I/O transactions in current CPU architectures

    Creator:
    Larsen, Steen K.
    Abstract:
    IO transactions within a computer system have evolved along with other system components (i.e., CPU, memory, video) from programmed IO (PIO). In current mainstream systems (spanning from HPC to mobile) the IO transactions are CPU-centric descriptor-based DMA transactions. The key benefit is that slower IO devices can DMA write system...

  • Classifying seven dimensional manifolds of fixed cohomology type

    Creator:
    Montagantirud, Pongdate
    Abstract:
    Finding new examples of compact simply connected spaces admitting a Riemannian metric of positive sectional curvature is a fundamental problem in differential geometry. Likewise, studying topological properties of families of manifolds is very interesting to topologists. The Eschenburg spaces combine both of those interests: they are positively curved Riemannian manifolds...
