The dynamic speculation and performance prediction of parallel loops

Creator:: Zier, David A.
Abstract:: General purpose computer systems have seen increased performance potential through the parallel processing capabilities of multicore processors. Yet this potential performance can only be attained through parallel applications, thus forcing software developers to rethink how everyday applications are designed. The most readily form of Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) within any...

Structure and productivity of marine benthic diatom communities in a laboratory model ecosystem

Creator:: Wulff, Barry Lee
Abstract:: Effects of light intensity, exposure to desiccation, reduced salinity, and thermal elevation on the functional and structural characteristics of marine benthic diatom communities were investigated in a laboratory model ecosystem and a respirometer chamber. Measurements of biomass (dry weight and ash-free dry weight) and chlorophyll a were made for each...

Oceanographic effects on the dynamics of food habits and growth condition of some groundfish species of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Lee, Yong Woo
Abstract:: Marine fish are subject to direct and indirect oceanographic variations operating at short and long time scales. In this study feeding habits and long-term growth condition of several groundfish species of the Pacific Northwest are examined to understand the relationship between variations in the fish's biological and life history components...

Malonaldehyde : certain chemical and biological properties

Creator:: Crawford, David Lee
Abstract:: Malonaldehyde, a three carbon dialdehyde, is one of the numerous carbonyl compounds associated with oxidative deterioration of food lipids. It is assumed to be formed as a product of lipid autoxidation occurring according to the generally accepted free radical mechanism. This compound is of great interest because of its potential...

An experimental investigation of combustion products through a flat, laminar, pre-mixed hydrocarbon-air flame

Creator:: Brenchley, David Lee
Abstract:: Flat, laminar, premixed hydrocarbon-air flames were stabilized on a porous-plate burner. In addition to temperature profiles, concentration profiles were measured for methane, ethane, ethylene, propane, acetylene, propylene, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and oxides of nitrogen. Dead space thickness, luminous flame zone thickness and hydrocarbon disappearance point responses were also monitored....

The effect of esoterica on institutional goals as measured by the use of cherished terms in the pulpits of the Church of the Nazarene and church growth

Creator:: Parrott, Richard Leslie, 1952-
Abstract:: This is a psycho-socio-linguistic study of language as the primary tool of institutions such as education, government, and religion. These institutions have goals associated with identifying with, communicating with, and influencing individuals in the general public who are not Part of the group. A review of psycho-socio-linguistic theory suggests that...

The influence of work values in the life planning of tenth grade girls

Creator:: Bowden, Shirley Smith
Abstract:: This investigation was concerned with the work values of tenth grade girls and their relationship to the girls' aspirations and expectations for future education and marriage-career roles. The instrument employed for the value measurement was the Work Values Inventory of Super (1968). An original questionnaire was developed by the researcher...

Semantic embodied navigation : developing agents that navigate from language and vision

Creator:: Krantz, Jacob
Abstract:: Autonomous robotic agents are on their way to becoming in-home personal assistants, construction assistants, and warehouse workers. The degree of autonomy of such systems is reflected by the manner in which we specify goals to them; the abstraction of low-level commands to high-level goals goes hand-in-hand with increased autonomy. In...

Behavior-based mobility prediction for fast handoffs in wireless LANs

Creator:: Wanalertlak, Weetit
Abstract:: Wireless Networks have been widely adopted into a major part of today's network infrastructure. They have become a popular technology to not only expand the coverage of wired networks but also to interconnect a large wireless network, i.e., wireless mesh networks. As they allow more ﬂexible communication than traditional wired-networks...

Dynamic and Dual Streaming Methods for H.264 Video and Parallel Performance Modeling

Creator:: Johnson, Taylor N.
Abstract:: Traditional approaches to streaming H.264 video over a network typically rely on a single method of transport (i.e., reliable or unreliable) and/or use static values for parameters that can have a significant negative impact on the perceptual quality of the received video. This dissertation presents a dynamic method for wireless...

The nonlinear optical properties of gallium arsenide pertaining to terahertz generation

Creator:: Hurlbut, Walter C.
Abstract:: Gallium arsenide shows excellent promise for terahertz generation using mid infrared. This is for two reasons. First, the indices of refraction for the terahertz (nTHz=3.61 at 1 THz) and mid infrared (nopt=3.431 at 2 μm) are close allowing a long interaction length. Second, the linear absorption is low at terahertz...
