Hybrid Multiscale Methods with Applications to Semiconductors, Porous Media, and Materials Science

Creator:: Costa, Timothy B.
Abstract:: In this work we consider two multiscale applications with tremendous computational complexity at the lower scale. First, we examine a model for charge transport in semicon- ductor structures with heterojunction interfaces. Due to the complex physical phenomena at the interface, the model at the design scale is unable to adequately...

Improving the Quality of Software Using Mutation Testing and Fault Prediction

Creator:: Ahmed, Iftekhar
Abstract:: Our confidence in software systems depends on our confidence in the exhaustiveness of our testing. As software systems get more complex, the task of exhaustive testing becomes more complex and even infeasible in some cases. In order to build less error prone systems, we therefore need to not only focus...

Investigating the Effects of Design Quality in OSS Projects

Creator:: Mannan, Umme Ayda
Abstract:: Software systems are becoming an essential part of the lives of both individuals and organizations, and as a consequence, these systems are getting bigger and more complex. Because of this, the tasks of maintaining the quality in these complex software systems are becoming increasingly difficult. Furthermore, these systems are subject...

An Investigation of the Effects of Merge Conflicts on Collaborative Software Development

Creator:: Brindescu, Caius
Abstract:: Merge conflicts have long plagued software development. With larger and more dispersed teams comes greater risk of developers working on the same code at the same time. While merge conflicts are known to be painful, their exact impact on software is still largely unknown. Are merge conflicts an isolated problem,...

The effect of ethylene manipulation on flower bud development of prunus persica and prunus domestica and of pyrus communis ovule senescence

Creator:: Crisosto, Carlos H.
Abstract:: In the Northwest, two tree fruit production problems may be related to the role of ethylene on plant growth and development: flowers and developing fruits are subject to low temperature injury during early spring, and to the low fruit set of 'Comice'. Ethylene may be involved in influencing dormancy and...

Rapid endangered species assessment : a novel approach to improve extinction risk assessments in poorly known species

Creator:: Bianchi, Carlos A.
Abstract:: The number of endangered species is rapidly increasing while paucity of adequate information and resources delays establishment of conservation actions. The IUCN’s listing system is insufficient to determine conservation priorities and many species lack information even to be evaluated (i.e., “data deficient”). Here I proposed and tested the Rapid Endangered...

Environmental variability and system heterogeneity in terrestrial biogeochemical models

Creator:: Sierra, Carlos Alberto
Abstract:: Ecosystems are highly heterogeneous systems subjected to important levels of environmental variability; however, it is common in terrestrial biogeochemical models to assume homogeneous properties of the elements of the system or constant environmental conditions. For some processes, heterogeneity in these models is treated very simplistically, but there is not much...

Monte Carlo Radiation Transfer Simulations of Gamma Ray Burst Prompt Emission

Creator:: Parsotan, Tyler M.
Abstract:: Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic explosions in the Universe, producing up to $\sim10^{53}$ ergs of energy in the first few seconds of their emission -- the so-called prompt phase that is dominated by high energy X-ray and $\gamma$-ray photons. The very large luminosities released in these events...

Assessing Managed Aquifer Recharge Potential: Regional to Local Evaluation

Creator:: Gibson, Maria
Abstract:: Although surface water constitutes less than 1.5% of freshwater supply, historical development of surface water sources continues to mark the landscape. However, over- exploitation of groundwater is now at its highest, and 25% of the world’s 1.7 billion population live in water scare regions. As glaciers and snowpack disappear due...

Interactive visualization of diversity in multivariate data sets unified across fields of study

Creator:: Pham, Tuan N. T.
Abstract:: The study of the diversity of multivariate objects shares common characteristics across disciplines, including ecology and organizational management. Nevertheless, experts in these two disciplines have adopted somewhat separate diversity concepts and analysis techniques, limiting the ability of potentially sharing and cross comparing these concerns. Moreover, while complex diversity data may...
