The use of mobile devices is increasing and these devices run on batteries. Therefore, it becomes important to save power in these devices. To do so, we need to have a mechanism that estimates the power consumption in transmission as well as power used by the CPU while processing a...
The Willamette Basin Conservation Project was created to help people and programs work together toward positive results in Oregon’s Willamette Basin for people, lands, communities, waters and native species.
Design and control of vector fields is critical for many visualization and graphics tasks such as vector field visualization, fluid simulation, and texture synthesis. The fundamental qualitative structures associated with vector fields are fixed points, periodic orbits, and separatrices. In this paper we provide a new technique that allows for...
Archival information about fish and water in the Umpqua Basin can be found in reports housed in disparate locations (e.g., offices of various State and Federal agencies and local organizations). A comprehensive bibliography of grey literature, important or uncataloged reports, and published reports is one means of recording what research...
This prioritization is designed to provide strategic focus for tidal wetland conservation and a restoration actions undertaken in partnership with willing landowners. The study highlights locations in the Siuslaw River estuary where tidal wetland restoration or conservation action may offer the biggest ecological "bang for the buck" - this is,...
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between land management practices of Indian communities prior to contact with Europeans and the nature or character of subsequent catastrophic forest fires in the Oregon Coast Range. The research focus is spatial and temporal patterns of Indian burning across the...
Shape transformation is a technique for gradually changing one geometric shape to another. A recent approach presents the use of thin-plate radial basis functions as opposed to traditional "blobby sphere" implicit functions. Without the explicit evaluation of he energy function, this approach combined the two traditional steps into one by...
'Search engine for a book library section' was developed for the Philosophy department. This Search Engine is a user interface application used for the purpose of searching for words or phrases as the need may be from a directory of books in a section of the Philosophy department library. The...
The OSU Motor Systems Resource Facility (MSRF), co-directed by the Principal Investigators (PI's, bios included), is an Energy Systems Laboratory with operating capabilities up to 750kV A, testbeds up to 300hp, a 120kVA fully programmable source, and a bi-directional grid interface enabling regeneration back onto the grid. The MSRF was...
This project is about helping protein naturalists understand the protein structure. The database system developed here provides a convenient tool for scientists to explore conformational information in a database of known structures and thereby provide researchers with a deeper and wider view of the empirical data. In this way, it...
