  • Implementing a semantic data model

    Creator:
    Roth, Shirley L.
    Abstract:
    OSIRIS is an integrated information architecture which was developed at Oregon State University. SIDUR is the data model upon which the semantic level is based. The semantic level is the mediating level between user's information needs and the stored data. The advantages of providing a semantic database environment include flexibility...

  • An approach for selecting a language for computer hardware description and simulation

    Creator:
    Milden, Mark R.
    Abstract:
    This paper corrects an apparent deficiency in the published information concerning Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) by introducing and discussing an approach for selecting an HDL for use in a design project. Although three classes of HDLs are discussed in this paper, High-Level Languages (HLLs), General Purpose Simulation Languages (GPSLs) and...

  • The Development of Astronomy in the United States Prior to 1900

    Creator:
    Harburg, William A.
    Abstract:
    From the earliest English colonization to the present day, there has been interest in astronomy in this country. The purpose of this thesis is to show how the science of astronomy developed in America from the earliest observations by educated colonists using imported instruments and publishing in European journals, to...

  • Transient conduction with counter mass flow in wood

    Creator:
    Pfeiffer, Nikolaus, 1960-
    Abstract:
    This paper deals with the thermal decompositon of wood slabs under fire conditions. The partial differential equation is solved numerically by the use of an implicit finite difference method. Wood is treated as two components, Lignin and Hemicellulose on one side, and Cellulose on the other side. The chemical reactions...

  • The architecture and design of a parallel sorting engine

    Creator:
    Bate, John G.
    Abstract:
    Sorting is typically a compute intensive operation used in many areas of industry. With improved technology, both in the VLSI and CAE areas, we can afford to develop hardware based database computers to move the work load off the main computer. In this thesis the architecture of a VLSI parallel...

  • Institutionalizing Science in Oregon : The Role of the Oregon State Academy of Sciences, 1905-1914

    Creator:
    Read, Richard Thomas
    Abstract:
    In February 1905 the Oregon State Academy of Sciences formed in Portland to promote scientific research and diffusion of scientific knowledge in Oregon. The founders also planned to assist in the discovery and development of the state's natural resources. The Academy was the first scientific society in Oregon with professional...

  • The effect of job interruptions on human learning

    Creator:
    Al-haboubi, Muhammad H.
    Abstract:
    It is a widely accepted premise of industrial management that an interruption in the performance of a task will be accompanied by a decrease in operator skill level upon resuming performance of the task. Moreover, it has been generally assumed that this loss of skill is related to several factors...

  • Propagule sources, disturbance characteristics and the inital establishment of riparian vegetation after debris flows

    Creator:
    Gecy, Jeanne Leslie
    Abstract:
    Debris flows are a major cause of disturbance to riparian vegetation. Both observational and experimental studies were used to examine the initial recovery of riparian vegetation after debris flows on headwater streams in the western Cascades of Oregon. My goal was to determine the roles of seedlings and vegetative sprouts,...

  • Hardware implementation of color transforms in the analog domain for wood surface analysis

    Creator:
    Abhyankar, Rajendra
    Abstract:
    This thesis discusses the hardware implementations of certain linear and non-linear color space transforms thought to be useful in the analysis of wood surfaces for defect detection. The developmental system's color image digitizer contains 5 bits per color while the input signal contains considerably greater resolution. This often degrades the...

  • Aboriginal fishing at Seal Rock (35-LC-14) and Neptune (35-LA-3) : late-prehistoric archaeological sites on the central Oregon coast

    Creator:
    Zontek, Terry
    Abstract:
    A sample of fish remains from two late-prehistoric archaeological sites on the central coast of Oregon were analyzed to partially evaluate two models of aboriginal subsistence-settlement systems. One model is based upon ethnograhpic data, primarily Drucker's (1939), for Yakonen speakers collected in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The...
