  • OME : A Framework for Running Spatially Explicit System Dynamics Models

    Creator:
    Wingo, Patrick C.
    Abstract:
    The Open Modeling Environment (OME) is a tool developed to address some known shortcomings in ecological System Dynamics (SD) modeling research. OME provides a common set of methods for interacting directly with spatial information, reducing the need for modelers to create their own methods for doing so. The environment is...

  • Analytical Methods for Improving Causal Inference

    Creator:
    Sinha, Meghamala
    Abstract:
    Causal inference is an important analytical tool to bridge the gap between prediction and decision-making. However, learning a causal network solely from data is a challenging task. In this work, various techniques have been explored for a better and improved causal network learning from data. Firstly, the problem of learning...

  • Advanced separation of concerns and the compatibility of aspect-orientation

    Creator:
    Dechow, Doug
    Abstract:
    The appropriate separation of concerns is a fundamental engineering principle. A concern, for software developers, is that which must be represented by code in a program; by extension, separation of concerns is the ability to represent a single concern in a single appropriate programming language construct. Advanced separation of concerns...

  • Seismic performance of a pile-supported container wharf structures in rockfill

    Creator:
    Kawamata, Yohsuke
    Abstract:
    Recently, the concept of performance based design has become popular for many types of structures, including port facilities under seismic loading. For the case of pile-supported wharves, the level of performance is generally estimated using the displacement capacity of the structure. Therefore, understanding soil-pile interaction is one of the most...

  • Development of a mobile process to extract phosphorus from livestock wastes as a valuable fertilizer

    Creator:
    Hoilman, Gene
    Abstract:
    Environmental and regulatory concerns are causing confined animal feeding operations (CAFO's) to account for phosphorous content when applying wastewater to agricultural fields for disposal. In most cases this requires more land to spread the waste onto so that the phosphorous needs of the crop are not exceeded. A mobile process...

  • A C* development environment for the Meiko CS-2 multicomputer

    Creator:
    Zhang, Chung
    Abstract:
    With sequential computing technology reaching its speed limits, parallel processing is emerg­ing as the key to very-high-speed computation. However, developing a parallel program is by no means a simple task; neither is analyzing the performance of parallel programs. C* is a high-level data-parallel language that hides explicit message passing and...

  • Porting and optimizing a routing library for C* on the iPSC/860

    Creator:
    Uberoy, Chetan
    Abstract:
    High level data-parallel languages are easy to use and shield the programmer from machine specific details. A simple and efficient way of providing an interface to such languages is to develop a machine-independent compiler and a routing library, which isolates the low-level machine dependent communication functions, The compiler translates the...

  • Porting and optimizing a routing library for Dataparallel C on the nCUBE 2 system

    Creator:
    Sivaramapuram, Krishna
    Abstract:
    Dataparallel C has been designed for various kinds of architectures and was devel­oped jointly at University of New Hampshire and Oregon State University. This project dealt with porting the libraries to the nCUBE 2 system and helping a user compile his programs on nCUBE 2 directly from a Sun workstation...

  • Reaction Pathways of Oxo-Hydroxo Group 5 Clusters to Metal Oxide Thin Films

    Creator:
    Mansergh, Ryan H.
    Abstract:
    Oxo-hydroxo Group 5 metal clusters are an untapped resource to study and advance aqueous solution processing of metal oxide thin films. The tetramethylammonium (TMA) hexatantalate salt (TMA6[H2Ta6O19]) yields dense Ta2O5 films (~95% of the bulk ß-Ta2O5 density) with atomically smooth surfaces (<4 Å root mean square surface roughness). This same...

  • Supporting branch-and-bound computations on parallel machines

    Creator:
    Mannan, Mohammed A.
    Abstract:
    We have developed SearchPak, a machine independent parallel searching tool on shared and distributed memory machines. It can be used for combinatorial optimiza­tion problems and OR-parallel computations as well. Both depth-first and best-first search of the state space can be performed using the SearchPak. With SearchPak, a user just provides...
