  • Energy use coefficients for irrigation system materials

    Creator:
    Daskalakis, George H.
    Abstract:
    Finite, uncertain, and increasingly expensive energy resources require a better understanding of energy utilization in all sectors of the national economy including agriculture. A significant portion of energy used in agriculture is required for the manufacturing, installation, transporting, and operation of irrigation systems. Quantification of the amounts of energy used...

  • Attitudes and behavior toward energy consumption among Oregon residents and their sociodemographic correlates

    Creator:
    Marganus, Martin
    Abstract:
    The relationship between attitudes toward energy and conservation behavior was studied in the context of sociodemographic and housing characteristics. Data were obtained by mail survey from a random sample of 1,503 Oregon households (Western Regional Agricultural Experiment Station Project, W-159). The return rate was 55 percent (834). Attitudes toward energy...

  • Power efficient H.264 video decoding in embedded multiprocessor

    Creator:
    Kim, Jihong
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a novel methodology that enables power efficient video decoding in an embedded system based on MPSoC (Multiprocessor System on Chip). This methodology is a physical combination of parallel processing which reduces power consumption of processors by exploiting thread-level parallelism and Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling (DVFS) that allows...

  • Simulation of energy use by Controlled Atmosphere generation equipment in fruit cold storage

    Creator:
    Boonprasom, Pichaya
    Abstract:
    A computer simulation program, Controlled Atmosphere Simulation (CAS), was written in Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0, Professional Edition to evaluate energy use by three type of atmosphere generators used in fruit storage warehouses. The program consists of pulldown time and energy use models for a membrane air separator, an ammonia fractionating...

  • Powersim : a tool for energy consumption estimation of Palm Pilot applications

    Creator:
    Lazard, Laurent
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, we develop a simulator for estimating the energy consumed in executing tasks on a mobile device - the Palm Pilot. We measured the energy consumed by each instruction of the device's assembly language and incorporated these measurements into a public domain emulator for the Palm Pilot. This...

  • Operation and maintenance procedures for improving compressed air system efficiency

    Creator:
    Bessey, Eric G.
    Abstract:
    Air compressors are a significant industrial energy user and therefore a prime target for industrial energy audits. The project goals were to develop a software tool, AIRMaster, develop a methodology for performing compressed air system audits, and conduct field audits to refine the methodology and assess savings potential from six...

  • Simulator for optimizing performance and power of embedded multicore processors

    Creator:
    Goska, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    This work presents improvements to a multi-core performance/power simulator. The improvements which include updated power models, voltage scaling aware models, and an application specific benchmark, are done to increase the accuracy of power models under voltage and frequency scaling. Improvements to the simulator enable more accurate design space exploration for...

  • Life Cycle Assessments for Wastewater Treatment and the Feasibility Study of Microbial Fuel Cell Technology

    Creator:
    Chien, Ku-Huan
    Abstract:
    The thesis documents research about combining the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Program with the Impact 2002+ methodology to conduct a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for wastewater treatment processes. The LCA for the operational phase of a local wastewater treatment plant was performed and the environmental impacts caused...

  • Data driven optimization in SAR ADC

    Creator:
    Leung, Jerry
    Abstract:
    Recent publications show that successive approximation register (SAR) analog to digital converters (ADC) are capable of achieving high efficiency over other ADC topologies. Furthermore, techniques have been adopted to process signals with low activity periods, such as biomedical and industrial sensors. Prior work used least- significant bit first quantization (LSBFQ)...
