  • Instruction fetching, scheduling, and forwarding in a dynamic multithreaded processor

    Creator:
    Browning, Adam W.
    Abstract:
    Dynamic multithreaded processors attempt to increase the performance of a single sequential program by dynamically extracting threads from sources such as loop iterations. The scheduling of instructions in such a processor plays a vital role in the amount of thread level parallelism that can be extracted and thus the overall...

  • 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...

  • A remotely operated, autonomous wave energy converter system

    Creator:
    Lewis, Timothy M.
    Abstract:
    The potential for electric energy generation from ocean waves is substantial and much research is being conducted on the conversion process as a renewable, grid-connected, power source. Some of the same attributes that make wave energy harvesting attractive as a grid-connected source also make it attractive as a remote, or...

  • Adiabatic and stable adiabatic times

    Creator:
    Bradford, Kyle B.
    Abstract:
    While the stability of time-homogeneous Markov chains have been extensively studied through the concept of mixing times, the stability of time-inhomogeneous Markov chains has not been studied as in depth. In this manuscript we will introduce special types of time-inhomogeneous Markov chains that are defined through an adiabatic transition. After...

  • A Rapid β-/γ Autoradiographic Imaging Method for Post-detonation Nuclear Forensics and Radiological Emergency Response

    Creator:
    Foley, Ari A. R.
    Abstract:
    In a radiological emergency scenario, the capability to rapidly visualize radiation emitted from debris, contamination, or absorbed in biological samples, while visualizing the non-radioactive (or “conventional” image) features within a field of view, will provide critical information to support optimization of further analysis, sample collection, and decision making. This research...

  • Representations of fractional Brownian motion

    Creator:
    Wichitsongkram, Noppadon
    Abstract:
    Integral representations provide a useful framework of study and simulation of fractional Browian motion, which has been used in modeling of many natural situations. In this thesis we extend an integral representation of fractional Brownian motion that is supported on a bounded interval of ℝ to integral representation that is...

  • 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...

  • New Families of pseudo-Anosov Homeomorphisms with Vanishing Sah-Arnoux-Fathi Invariant

    Creator:
    Do, Hieu Trung
    Abstract:
    Translation surfaces can be viewed as polygons with parallel and equal sides identified. An affine homeomorphism φ from a translation surface to itself is called pseudo-Anosov when its derivative is a constant matrix in SL₂(R) whose trace is larger than 2 in absolute value. In this setting, the eigendirections of...

  • Micropower incremental analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Chen, Chia-Hung
    Abstract:
    Incremental ADCs (IADCs) have many advantages for low-frequency high-accuracy data conversion—they are easy to multiplex between channels, need simpler digital decimation filter, and allow extended counting with a Nyquist-rate ADC. A single-loop incremental ADC was designed and fabricated in 90 nm for a biosensor interface circuit. It incorporates one integrator,...

  • A channelized digital receiver design for UWB sytems in a multipath indoor environment

    Creator:
    Chang, Yuhao
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a channelized digital receiver design for UWB sytems in a multipath indoor environment. The UWB technology has been used for commercial and military purposes due to a number of advantages such as low-power consumption, noise-like and carrier free. The energy of UWB signal is spread over a...
