  • Numerical modeling and experiments on wood-strand composites

    Creator:
    Le, Edward A.
    Abstract:
    In wood-based composites, the glue-line (interface) between wood-strands affects the stress transfer from one member to the next. The glue-line properties determine the rate of load transfer between phases and these properties depend on wood species, surface preparation, glue properties, glue penetration into wood cells, and moisture content of the...

  • 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...

  • Interpretable Machine Learning: Applications in Biology and Genomics

    Creator:
    Danaee, Padideh
    Abstract:
    Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models impact our daily lives with applications in natural language modeling, image analysis, healthcare, genomics, and bioinformatics. The exponential growth of biological sequence data necessitates accompanying advances in computational methods. Although deep learning is highly effective for detecting and classifying biological sequences, challenges...

  • 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...

  • Monte Carlo Tree Search with Fixed and Adaptive Abstractions

    Creator:
    Hostetler, Jesse A.
    Abstract:
    Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS) is a class of online planning algorithms for Markov decision processes (MDPs) and related models that has found success in challenging applications. In the online planning approach, the agent makes a decision in the current state by performing a limited forward search over possible futures...

  • Metacontent based techniques for the regression testing of component based software : a case study

    Creator:
    Chattopadhyay, Soumya
    Abstract:
    Component based software technologies are viewed as essential for creating the software systems of the future. However the use of externally provided components has serious drawbacks for a wide range of software engineering activities often because of a lack of information about the components. One such drawback involves validation of...
