  • The application of human motor control principles to a collective robotic arm

    Creator:
    Harty, Tyson Harold
    Abstract:
    Current robots are no match for biological organisms when adapting to real-world, dynamic environments. Collective control strategies, such as those used by synergistic biological systems composed of large numbers of identical parts like the human nervous system, provide a novel and alternative approach for the design of fault-tolerant, adaptable robotic...

  • Connections between combinatorics of permutations and algorithms and geometry

    Creator:
    Wills, Dean Connable
    Abstract:
    Geometric Problems become increasingly intractable and difficult to visualize as the number of dimensions increases beyond three. Inductions from lower dimensional spaces are possible yet often awkward. This thesis shows how elementary linear algebra, vector calculus, and combinatorics offer improved methods for calculating the dihedral angles of n-simplicies and proving...

  • Bioenergetics individual based model explorations of juvenile coho salmon growth during their first summer on the Oregon shelf

    Creator:
    Reser, Brendan Alexander
    Abstract:
    Salmon survival and eventual recruitment success have long been thought to be determined within the first summer following ocean migration. Juvenile growth during this period is largely influenced by ocean conditions such as temperature, prey availability, abundance, and quality. Shifts in these conditions due to climatic perturbations are particularly prevalent...

  • Zooplankton of the Galapagos Islands

    Creator:
    Figueroa, Diego
    Abstract:
    The marine climate of the Galapagos is spatially and seasonally heterogeneous. A taxonomically comprehensive study of Galapagos zooplankton has never been done. This study is an initial effort to establish the distribution and community structure of zooplankton in the Archipelago. I collected zooplankton samples by vertical tows over the Galapagos...

  • Forward-in-Time-/Backward-in-Time-Trajectory (FITT/BITT) Modeling of Particles and Organisms in the Coastal Ocean

    Creator:
    Batchelder, Harold P.
    Abstract:
    Lagrangian particle-tracking models (LPTMs) were used to identify sources, destinations, and transport pathways of particles (plankton). The LPTM simulations were forced using stored fields from the Spectral Element Ocean Model simulation for a coastal upwelling system having idealized geometry, bathymetry, and simple wind forcing. Forward-in-time-trajectory (FITT) simulations are common in...

  • Molecular characterization of crustacean parasite Nadelspora canceri

    Creator:
    Amogan, Harold
    Abstract:
    Investigations into the phylogeny, genome size, and karyotype of microsporidian Nadeispora canceri were initiated to further characterize the organism. Isolates of N. canceri spores were obtained from both Dungeness (Cancer magisrer) and red rock crabs (Cancer productus). Analysis of the ssu rDNA sequence from spore isolates of the two crab...

  • Do parties matter in FDI : how U.S. political parties relate to U.S. FDI in a gravity model setting

    Creator:
    Helm, Harold Andrew
    Abstract:
    This study examines the relation between political parties in the United States and foreign direct investment (FDI) using a panel data gravity model of 42 countries from 1980 to 2006. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party differ on economic platforms, and the changing of relative power in government between...

  • Longitudinal electroproduction of charged pions from Hydrogen, Deuterium, and Helium-3

    Creator:
    Gaskell, David J.
    Abstract:
    Conventional pictures of nuclear interactions, in which the pion mediates the long/medium range part of the nuclear force, predict an enhancement of the virtual pion cloud in nuclei relative to that in the free nucleon. Jefferson Lab Experiment E91003 measured charged pion electroproduction from Hydrogen, Deuterium, and Helium-3. The longitudinal...

  • A study of basic building blocks of analog-to-digital delta-sigma modulators

    Creator:
    Guo, Yuhua
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, a novel Direct-Charge-Transfer (DCT) integrator structure is proposed, which can settle much faster than regular switch-capacitor integrators. A new Spread-Spectrum Dynamic Element Matching (SS-DEM) algorithm is also introduced, which can effectively spread or shape the nonlinearity error of multi-bit DAC in the feedback path, thus improve the...

    Creator:
    Weiss, Jennifer D.
    Abstract:
    The US bridal industry has grown over the last 80 years to become a multibillion dollar industry. Surprisingly, little research has been conducted concerning the consumer behavior of brides. The bride is in a situation where purchase decisions need to be made. She has many things she will purchase over...
