  • End user software engineering features for both genders

    Creator:
    Sorte, Shraddha
    Abstract:
    Previous research has revealed gender differences that impact females’ willingness to adopt software features in end users’ programming environments. Since these features have separately been shown to help end users problem solve, it is important to female end users’ productivity that we find ways to make these features more acceptable...

  • Hardware realization of OCB mode for efficient authenticated encryption

    Creator:
    Al Faresi, Ahmed
    Abstract:
    Authenticated-Encryption modes of operation have recently received great atten- tion amongst researchers. Such modes of operation provide both privacy and authentic- ity. A proposed mode in this category is the Offset Codebook mode (OCB) by Rogaway et al. This mode shows great substantial advantages over conventional modes. In the past...

  • Distance learning applied to control engineering education

    Creator:
    Aktan, Burçin
    Abstract:
    At the College of Engineering, Oregon State University, we have successfully developed and demonstrated a distance learning application utilizing emerging communications technologies in a new way to allow control engineering teaching laboratories to be accessed remotely. Second Best to Being There (SBBT) provides the remote user with all the capabilities...

  • A linear test bed for characterizing the performance of ocean wave energy converters

    Creator:
    Hogan, Peter M.
    Abstract:
    Determining the performance characteristics of various ocean wave energy converters (OWEC) has proven to be difficult due to problems replicating a baseline motion profile in the ocean or wave tank to compare these devices. The linear test bed seeks to mechanically simulate the relative linear motion between the active components...

  • Garbage in, garbage out? An empirical look at oracle mistakes by end-user programmers

    Creator:
    Phalgune, Amit
    Abstract:
    End-user programmers, because they are human, make mistakes. However, past research has not considered how visual end-user debugging devices could be designed to ameliorate the effects of mistakes. This paper empirically examines oracle mistakes mistakes users make about which values are right and which are wrong to reveal differences in...

  • Modeling and experimental verification of electric and magnetic fields generated by undersea power transmission cables

    Creator:
    York, Charles E.
    Abstract:
    As interest grows in developing devices to harvest energy from ocean waves, tidal currents, and offshore wind, concerns over possible environmental effects from such devices also grow. One such concern is over the induced electric fields and the generated magnetic fields from generators and their associated submarine power cables in...

  • A comprehensive integration of first year engineering education

    Creator:
    Shuman, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    Retention of engineering students is a problem for many universities, especially during the first year. The problem of introducing students to engineering while increasing retention rates has recently been addressed by many different universities. Implementing novel lab structures, adjusting the lecture to incorporate more effective teaching techniques, and using orientation...

  • A novel control design for a wave energy converter

    Creator:
    Schacher, Alphonse A.
    Abstract:
    Ocean wave energy is rapidly becoming a field of great interest in the world of renewable energy. Significant advancements in design and technology are being made to make wave energy a viable alternative for our growing energy demands. The two major hurdles for ocean wave energy to make a significant...

  • Cryptanalysis and enhancement of authentication protocols

    Creator:
    Kim, Minho
    Abstract:
    Authentication protocols play important roles in network security. A variety of authentication protocols ranging from complex public-key cryptosystems to simple password-based authentication schemes have been proposed. However, currently there is no fully secure authentication scheme that can resist all known attacks. When a user authentication is performed over an insecure...

  • A direct-drive wave energy converter with contactless force transmission system

    Creator:
    Agamloh, Emmanuel B.
    Abstract:
    Commonly proposed ocean wave energy converters (OWEC) use inefficient and maintenance demanding intermediate hydraulic and pneumatic systems. We propose a novel rotary direct-drive OWEC that eliminates these intermediate stages. The new device employs a contactless force transmission system (CFTS) comprising a “piston” and a “cylinder” and a ball screw to...
