  • Low-voltage switched-capacitor circuits

    Creator:
    Bidari, Emad
    Abstract:
    In recent years, the rapidly growth of CMOS technology has evolved towards submicron and deep-submicron features. Due to smaller device sizes, and significant demand for low-power designs, the maximum allowable power supply voltage is restricted. So far, two solutions; clock boosting and switched opamp schemes have been proposed. The material...

  • Stochastic properties of morphological filters

    Creator:
    Zhu, Feihong
    Abstract:
    Most of the existing research on mathematical morphology is restricted to the deterministic case. This thesis addresses the void in the results on the stochastic properties of morphological filters. The primary results include analysis of the stochastic properties of morphological operations, such as dilation, erosion, closing and opening. Two unbiased...

  • Optimizing Placement of Weather Stations: Defining and Testing a Meaningful Objective for Multi-Variable Weather Monitoring Networks

    Creator:
    Snyder, Amelia M.
    Abstract:
    As the number of weather stations declines globally, ensuring that meteorological monitoring networks efficiently and effectively monitor weather variables becomes increasingly important. Multi-variable weather sensors are becoming more widely available and make monitoring weather phenomena more economical. However, when seeking an optimal spatial distribution of these stations, choosing an objective...

  • Flow-Solute : A Tool for Exploring the Effects of Nitrogen Management in Alternative Future Scenarios

    Creator:
    Wentworth, Andrew Michael
    Abstract:
    Surface water quality is a growing concern in the Willamette River Basin and elsewhere. The region's growing population is dependent on the availability of clean water for drinking water, irrigation, wastewater dilution, and wildlife habitat. Watershed management to produce economic goods and environmental services requires an understanding of basic hydrologic...

  • Calibration, characterization, and linear quadratic Gaussian estimation of sensor feedback signals for a novel ocean wave energy linear test bed

    Creator:
    Haller, Christopher A.
    Abstract:
    Continual growth of the world's energy consumption and the demand for long-term clean renewable energy resources has led to the development of ocean-based wave energy technologies. Emerging technologies are advancing potential solutions to the complex problem of energy generation in the harsh and corrosive ocean environment. To develop these technologies,...

  • Consumer perceptions of apparel products in Internet shopping

    Creator:
    Kim, Mi-Jung
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the present study was to determine consumer perceptions of apparel products in Internet shopping. According to the existing literature, four categories of perceptions play primary roles for apparel shopping consumer decisions: apparel appearance, apparel comfort, fabric characteristics, and apparel fit. The present study aimed to observe how...

  • Two-grid a-priori and a-posteriori error analysis for coupled elliptic and parabolic systems with applications to flow and transport problems

    Creator:
    Klein, Viviane
    Abstract:
    We develop several a-priori and a-posteriori error estimates for two-grid finite element discretization of coupled elliptic and parabolic systems with a set of parameters P. We present numerical results that verify the convergence order of the numerical schemes predicted by the a-priori estimates. We present numerical results that verify the...

  • Revenue-based spectrum management via Markov decision process

    Creator:
    Zhu, Pingan
    Abstract:
    We consider the problem of wireless spectrum management in cognitive wireless networks that maximizes the revenue for a spectrum operator. Specifically, we study the problem on how a wireless spectrum operator can optimally allocate its limited spectrum to various classes users/devices who pay differently for their spectrum per unit time....

  • Renewal risk processes with stochastic returns on investments : a unified approach and analysis of the ruin probabilities

    Creator:
    Constantinescu, Corina D.
    Abstract:
    This thesis considers one of the classical problems in the actuarial mathematics literature, the decay of the probability of ruin in the collective risk model. The claim number process N(t) is assumed to be a renewal process, the resulting model being referred as the Sparre Andersen risk model. The inter-claim...

  • A performance study of multithreading

    Creator:
    Kwak, Hantak
    Abstract:
    As the performance gap between processor and memory grows, memory latency will be a major bottleneck in achieving high processor utilization. Multithreading has emerged as one of the most promising and exciting techniques used to tolerate memory latency by exploiting thread-level parallelism. The question however remains as to how effective...
