Using Change Representations to Analyze Properties of Variational Software

Creator:: Wang, Xiangyu
Abstract:: Appropriate representations of variational software simplify the analysis of their properties.This thesis proposes tailored representations of two kinds variational softwares: difference files of merge commits in Git and feature models. For the former, we use the Choice Edit Model, which is based on the choice calculus, to represent changes introduced...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: Feature Models A feature model is a representation of all possible products of a software product line

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...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: were also done by flow injection analysis (FIA) at the Central Analytical Laboratory at Oregon State

Assisting Sustainability Analysis of Forest Bioenergy Supply Chains using Mathematical Optimization

Creator:: Sadeghi, Javad
Abstract:: Changes in the global climate and forest management practices have given rise to increasing numbers and severity of wildfires. More than five million acres burned in the United States in 2017, while in Canada 7.4 million acres burned. In particular, an increasing amount of dead woody biomass is a key...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: study of bio- oil production for forest biomass in northwest Oregon. Chapter 5 presents the summary

Mechanical design under changing customer requirements case study : BugID

Creator:: Fagan, Chris R.
Abstract:: Customer requirements and engineering specifications will influence the direction of the design in any product, so it is crucial to make the requirements as stable as possible so quality designs can be produced on time within a budget. It would be optimal for requirements and specifications to remain constant but...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: complexity and changes in technology can all influence the product development process. As products

An Information Modeling Framework for Support of Sustainable Manufacturing System Design Decision Making

Creator:: Shankar Raman, Arvind
Abstract:: Manufacturing technology has continuously evolved and advanced over the past century; this has led to an increase in the production of consumer and industrial goods driven by simultaneous growth in population and wealth. Despite the resulting economic and labor growth, environmental impacts of manufacturing have increased dramatically due to the...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Pedestrian distraction : pedestrian behaviors at midblock crossings considering geometric and environmental conditions

Creator:: Kautz, Julia Anne
Abstract:: Pedestrian distraction at roadway crossings has been correlated with a higher risk of pedestrian-vehicle collisions due to the pedestrian's cognitive, visual, and motor attention being drawn to a wide variety of secondary tasks. This study is different from previous field studies of pedestrian midblock crossings in that the geometric layout...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: Eugene, Oregon. A combination of digital video and researcher field notes were used to obtain the data

Microstructure of radiation damage in the uranium film and its backing materials irradiated with 136 MeV 136Xe+26, Microstructure of radiation damage in the uranium film and its backing materials irradiated with 136 MeV ¹³⁶Xe⁺²⁶

Creator:: Sadi, Supriyadi
Abstract:: Microstructure changes in uranium and uranium/metal alloys due to radiation damage are of great interest in nuclear science and engineering. Titanium has attracted attention because of its similarity to Zr. It has been proposed for use in the second generation of fusion reactors due to its resistance to radiation-induced swelling....
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: fragments and alpha particles from source has been conducted in the Radiation Center, Oregon State

Machine learning methods for public policy : simulation, optimization, and visualization

Creator:: McGregor, Sean
Abstract:: Society faces many complex management problems, particularly in the area of shared public resources such as ecosystems. Existing decision making processes are often guided by personal experience and political ideology rather than state-of-the-art scientific understanding. This dissertation envisions a future in which multiple stakeholders are provided with computational tools for...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: . For the wildfire problem, an excellent high-fidelity model of forest growth and wild- fire behavior

Learning-based Control of Experimental Hybrid Fuel Cell Power Plant

Creator:: Gabler, Andrew
Abstract:: Direct red Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) Turbine hybrid plants have the potential to dramatically increase power plant efficiency, decrease emissions, and provide fast response to transient loads. The US Department of Energy's (DOE) Hybrid Performance Project is an experimental hybrid SOFC plant, built at the National Energy Technology Laboratory...

A factoring approach for probabilistic inference in belief networks

Creator:: Li, Zhaoyu
Abstract:: Reasoning about any realistic domain always involves a degree of uncertainty. Probabilistic inference in belief networks is one effective way of reasoning under uncertainty. Efficiency is critical in applying this technique, and many researchers have been working on this topic. This thesis is the report of our research in this...
