Hydrodynamic Modeling of Submerged Wave Energy Converters: Power Take-Off Mooring Configuration Effect on Power Performance

Creator:: Meek, Moira H.
Abstract:: Wave energy converters (WECs) show promising potential to significantly contribute to global renewable energy goals. Numerous WEC designs have been proposed and investigated, but wave energy conversion technology has yet to reach convergence in the same way wind or solar has. Of the designs currently in existence, surface-piercing WECs are...

Hydrodynamic characterization of floating offshore wind turbines : an experimental and numerical multi-degree of freedom analysis

Creator:: Gadasi, Jonah B.
Abstract:: Wind energy has become a crucial resource in sustainably meeting increasing global energy demands. Recently, offshore wind energy has been gaining traction due to its higher gross resource and larger unclaimed real-estate relative to its onshore counterpart. Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are increasingly popular, particularly designs with semisubmersible platforms....

Population Differentiation in two Northeastern Pacific Marine Species

Creator:: Curran, Lorne Sullivan
Abstract:: Population genetic techniques are now preeminent in differentiating wild populations. Natural resource managers rely on them in their efforts to restore viable populations of fish and wildlife. Overfishing adversely impacted Yelloweye Rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) on the U.S. West Coast in the late 20th century. Management actions included shutting down the...

Bacteriophages Significantly Reduce Mortality of Larval Pacific Oysters Crassostrea gigas from Infection by the Pathogenic Bacterium Vibrio coralliilyticus RE98

Creator:: Madison, David B.
Abstract:: Vibrio coralliilyticus (Vcor) is a bacterial pathogen that is well adapted to shellfish hatcheries and is very pathogenic to the larvae of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. Vcor has been associated with several large scale larval mortality events in the Pacific Northwest that interrupt the supply of seed oysters available...

Some Improved Encoding and Decoding Schemes for Balanced Codes

Creator:: Youn, Jong-Hoon and Bose, Bella
Abstract:: A binary code of length n is called a balanced code if each codeword contains exactly ⌊n/2⌋ (or ⌈n/2⌉) ones and ⌈n/2⌉ (or ⌊n/2⌋) zeros. In this paper, we give two improved methods for encoding and decoding the balanced codes. The first one, called improved single map, improves the computation...
