  • Linearity enhancement techniques for data converters

    Creator:
    Cao, Jinzhou
    Abstract:
    Data converters are essential interface circuits between the analog world that people live in and the digital processors that people live with. Linearity, which often is a tradeoff against other performance criteria, is one of the major performance demands from applications for both analog-to-digital converts (ADC) and digital-to-analog converters (DAC)....

  • 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...

  • Watershed response to western juniper control

    Creator:
    Deboodt, Timothy L.
    Abstract:
    Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) encroachment has been associated with increased soil loss and reduced infiltration resulting in the loss of native herbaceous plant communities and the bird and animal species that rely on them. Hydrologically, however, change in water yield has been linked with the amount of annual precipitation a...

  • An assessment of community-based adaptive watershed management in three Umpqua Basin Watersheds

    Creator:
    Habron, Geoffrey Bryan
    Abstract:
    The dissertation introduces community-based adaptive watershed management (CAWM) as a holistic conservation framework. The CAWM framework integrates social and ecological suitability to achieve conservation outcomes. The core theoretical concepts consist of adaptive management, adoption-diffusion, symbolic interactionism, community-based conservation, spatial analysis and watershed management. The CAWM framework is applied to the...

  • Contextual systems description of an Oregon coastal watershed

    Creator:
    Goetze, Brigitte
    Abstract:
    Many resource management controversies indicate disagreement about the possible intended and unintended effects of management actions on ecosystems. Researchers have documented a variety of negative effects on specific ecosystems, e. g. the degradation of salmonid habitat due to mass wasting (Hagans et al. 1986). While the effects of some management...

  • Integrated methodology for board assignment and component allocation in printed circuit board assembly

    Creator:
    Neammanee, Patcharaporn
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research is to develop an approach to minimize makespan for assigning boards to production lines. Because of sequence-dependent setup issue, board assignment and component allocation have to be performed concurrently. An integrated methodology is proposed to obtain a solution of the two problems. The methodology consists...

  • Performance enhancement techniques for low power digital phase locked loops

    Creator:
    Elshazly, Amr
    Abstract:
    Desire for low-power, high performance computing has been at core of the symbiotic union between digital circuits and CMOS scaling. While digital circuit performance improves with device scaling, analog circuits have not gained these benefits. As a result, it has become necessary to leverage increased digital circuit performance to mitigate...

    Creator:
    Causey, Jeffrey L.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this dissertation was to add to the professional literature in counselor education and supervision through inquiry and synthesis of research among online teaching, online counseling, and online communities of practice through the supervision lens of the Discrimination Model. A unique, research-informed framework for synchronous online supervision (i.e.,...

  • Social Learning and Adaptive Capacity in Collaborative Watershed Partnerships

    Creator:
    Calvert, Daniel T.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation examines learning driven adaptations in salmon recovery efforts and water resources management in Oregon. The case study utilizes a framework highlighting the connections between human and natural systems. Semi-structured interviews are used to analyze interactions between rural riparian landowners and watershed council staffs living and working in Oregon’s...

  • A cost effectiveness analysis of actions to reduce stream temperature : a case study of the Mohawk watershed

    Creator:
    Mooney, Sian, 1965-
    Abstract:
    The concept of ecosystem management requires that management prescriptions account for economic and environmental goals that are measured in non-commensurate units. This study examines the economic and environmental trade-offs associated with planting a riparian buffer in trees to reduce stream temperatures in the Mohawk watershed, Oregon. The detrimental effects of...
