  • A comparison of box-cox and additive exponential models to estimate the depreciation of farm machinery

    Creator:
    Wu, Jing
    Abstract:
    Farm machinery continues to increase in its importance to the agricultural sector. Depreciation, the decline in value of a durable asset over time, represents one of the largest costs of agricultural production. The general objectives of this study were to update and expand the number of Remaining Value (RV) functions...

  • A SAT-based planning framework for optimizing resource production

    Creator:
    Ventura, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Domain-independent automated planning is concerned with computing a sequence of actions that can transform an initial state into a desired goal state. Resource production domains form an interesting class of such problems, in that they typically require reasoning about concurrent durative-actions with continuous effects while minimizing some cost function. Although...

  • Cortex: Open Source Core Financial Processor

    Creator:
    Paulsen, Loren
    Abstract:
    A financial processor is the most important component of a credit union‘s IT infrastructure. A database storing member demographic information, account balances, and transaction history, it performs financial calculations, such as interest, dividends, and maturities. It also provides a user interface, allowing tellers and financial service representatives to manage accounts...

  • Efficient P2P media dissemination with forward error correction

    Creator:
    Do, Phuoc
    Abstract:
    Media application on the internet has become more and more popular as the bandwidth of the network links increase. The bottleneck of the existing media systems is no longer the link bandwidth at user’s end, but the server’s ability to handle streaming requests. These existing streaming systems do not scale...

  • Toward end-user debugging of machine-learned programs

    Creator:
    Kulesza, Todd
    Abstract:
    The results of a machine learning from user behavior can be thought of as a program, and like all programs, it may need to be debugged. Providing ways for the user to debug it matters because without the ability to fix errors, users may find that the learned program’s errors...

  • Design of a Process Independent Tool for the Creation of On-Chip Serial Test Interfaces

    Creator:
    Edmonds, Christopher D.
    Abstract:
    The push towards higher performing and more sensitive mixed signal circuitry has required the parallel development of increasingly more complex and sensitive test and calibration harnesses. Current off-chip methods of test and calibration may require higher pin counts or induce unwanted parasitic interference. In this thesis, the design of a...

  • Learning cost-sensitive diagnostic policies from data

    Creator:
    Zubek, Valentina Bayer
    Abstract:
    In its simplest form, the process of diagnosis is a decision-making process in which the diagnostician performs a sequence of tests culminating in a diagnostic decision. For example, a physician might perform a series of simple measurements (body tem- perature, weight, etc.) and laboratory measurements (white blood count, CT scan,...

  • Secure socket layer protocol simulation in Java

    Creator:
    Karri, Nagendra
    Abstract:
    This project aims to study the performance of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Protocol implemented in JAVA for web applications. Secure Sockets Layer protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery. In particular, this project focuses on an implementation of...

  • Interactive football playbook

    Creator:
    Neumann, Christoph
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a domain specific visual language designed to allow coaches to create content that exhibits the complex 2D interactions observed in the game of American football. Coaches can visually program the content by using symbols and drawing primitives similar to those that they currently use to design static...

  • Activity recognition in desktop environments

    Creator:
    Shen, Jianqiang
    Abstract:
    Knowledge workers are struggling in the information flood. There is a growing interest in intelligent desktop environments that help knowledge workers organize their daily life. Intelligent desktop environments allow the desktop user to define a set of “activities” that characterize the user’s desktop work. These environments then attempt to identify...
