  • 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...

  • Re-understanding Finite-State Representations of Recurrent Policy Networks

    Creator:
    Danesh, Mohamad H.
    Abstract:
    We propose an approach for understanding control policies represented as recurrent neural networks. Recent work has approached this problem by transforming such recurrent policy networks into finite-state machines (FSM) and then analyzing the equivalent minimized FSM. While this led to interesting insights, the minimization process can obscure a deeper understanding...

  • A General Purpose Agent-Based Blackboard Optimization Method Applied to Sodium Fast Reactor Design and Analysis

    Creator:
    Stewart, Ryan H.
    Abstract:
    We present a novel multi-objective optimization methodology built upon a multi-agent blackboard framework. This multi-agent blackboard system (MABS) synthesizes blackboard architectures, multi-agent environments, and optimization theory. The blackboard architecture creates the framework for initializing, storing, and solving a multi-objective optimization problem. Multiple agents allow for an optimization problem to be...

  • Scale effects on reinforced concrete beams strengthened for shear with discrete externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer U-wraps

    Creator:
    Dawson, Matthew Ryan
    Abstract:
    Current ACI design provisions for shear in reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) U-wraps may not adequately account for the effect of scale. This paper describes tests of 6 geometrically scaled beams to identify possible scale effects of such beams. Results indicated that effective...

  • 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...

  • Advancing Power Grid Computing: Analysis and Synthesis of Wide-Area Data, Distributed Real-Time Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulations, and Machine Learning for Event Detection

    Creator:
    Hagan, Travis
    Abstract:
    Global Positioning Systems have allowed for precise timing of power system measurements over wide areas. This newly found capability has the potential to provide much greater insight into the operation of the power system and its response to contingencies, but few analytical techniques currently exist that provide enough robustness and...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Investigation of automatic construction of reactive controllers

    Creator:
    Westerberg, Caryl J.
    Abstract:
    In real-time control systems, the value of a control decision depends not only on the correctness of the decision but also on the time when that decision is available. Recent work in real-time decision making has used machine learning techniques to automatically construct reactive controllers, that is, controllers with little...
