  • Optimizing performance/watt of embedded SIMD multiprocessors through a priori application guided power scheduling

    Creator:
    Albright, Ryan K.
    Abstract:
    A method for improving performance/watt of an embedded single-instruction multiple-data (SIMD) architecture using application-guided a priori scheduling of hardware resources is presented. A multi-core architectural simulator is adopted that accurately estimates power, performance, and utilization of various processor components (logic, interconnect and memory). A greedy search is then performed on...

  • Fluid flow on interacting, deformable surfaces

    Creator:
    Neill, Patrick
    Abstract:
    Fluid simulation is an interesting research problem with a wide range of applications including mechanical engineering, special effects in movies and games, and scientific simulation. Due to the complex nature of typical fluid flow equations, there are circumstances where a full volumetric fluid simulation may not be necessary to generate...

  • TIMR : Time Interleaved Multi Rail

    Creator:
    Ruggeri, Thomas L.
    Abstract:
    This work presents a new energy saving technique for modern digital designs. We propose Time Interleaved Multi-Rail (TIMR) - a method for providing two dynamic supply rails to a circuit. This technique uses the first supply rail to mask the transition delay while changing the voltage of the second rail....

  • In the Wake of Cascadia: Overcoming the Challenges of Disaster Preparedness for the Visiting Population in Newport, Oregon

    Creator:
    Copeland, Patrick J.
    Abstract:
    Extensive research has been published on a large-scale Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) rupture off the Oregon coast, including the requirements of evacuation, shelter, and mass care of a diverse coastal population due to earthquake and tsunami related hazards. Adequate preparedness centers around the understanding of a hazards characteristics, and the...

  • Glacier change in a basin of the Peruvian Andes and implications for water resources

    Creator:
    Burns, Patrick J.
    Abstract:
    Declines in glacier area and volume are widespread. These changes will have important hydrologic consequences since glaciers store tremendous amounts of fresh water and buffer seasonally low flows in many densely populated regions. In this thesis I focus on a region that is hydrologically vulnerable to glacier change, namely the...

  • OME : A Framework for Running Spatially Explicit System Dynamics Models

    Creator:
    Wingo, Patrick C.
    Abstract:
    The Open Modeling Environment (OME) is a tool developed to address some known shortcomings in ecological System Dynamics (SD) modeling research. OME provides a common set of methods for interacting directly with spatial information, reducing the need for modelers to create their own methods for doing so. The environment is...

  • Stephen Biko's Rhetorical Vision of Black Consciousness

    Creator:
    Fergusson, Julie K.
    Abstract:
    Stephen Biko was a black leader in South Africa who died in police custody on September 12, 1977. Biko's death echoed within the Republic of South Africa and around the world, showing that racial tensions in that country were severe. At his death he was a hero to the black...

  • "They called me the hyacinth girl" : T. S. Eliot, masculinity, and the Great War

    Creator:
    Query, Patrick
    Abstract:
    This thesis traces the relationship between the First World War, constructions of masculinity, and the life and poetry of T.S. Eliot. Central to this relationship is a study of homoeroticism, which the author characterizes as different from homosexuality but not exclusive of it, in late 19th and early 20th century...

  • Testing of vapor-liquid equilibrium data for thermodynamic consistency

    Creator:
    Frutiger, Richard Patrick
    Abstract:
    Redlich and Kister have developed two methods for evaluating thermodynamic consistency of vapor-liquid equilibrium data. These same authors also developed a power series for classifying systems according to the number of coefficients required to define the data. Stockett found it was difficult to classify systems by this method. Macan suggested...

  • Assessment of ground water recharge and quality under agricultural production in Lane County, Oregon

    Creator:
    Shelby, Patrick M.
    Abstract:
    Assessment of the environmental impacts of an agricultural production system requires information on both soil water quality and solute flux. Passive Capillary Samplers (PCAPS), which sample water from the vadose zone using fiber glass wicks, have shown potential to provide both flux and solute concentration in unsaturated zone sampling but...
