  • Polynomial Chaos Expansions for Random Ordinary Differential Equations

    Creator:
    McKenzie, Brian
    Abstract:
    We consider numerical methods for finding approximate solutions to Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) with parameters distributed with some probability by the Generalized Polynomial Chaos (GPC) approach. In particular, we consider those with forcing functions that have a random parameter in both the scalar and vector case. We then consider linear...

  • Characterizing Microplastic Ingestion in Black Rockfish (Sebastes melanops) along the Oregon Coast

    Creator:
    Lasdin, Katherine S.
    Abstract:
    Microplastics (<5mm diameter) are present in a considerable number of marine and aquatic species. Understanding which species, the global spatial distribution, and what quantities of microplastics are present is extremely important for understanding the potential impacts they could have on recreationally important organisms and for the assessment of risk. We...

  • Modeling the Dynamics of Vector–host Interactions in Avian Communities: Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus as a Model System

    Creator:
    Muller, Timothy
    Abstract:
    Understanding the dynamics of seasonal epizootics of vector-borne pathogens infecting multiple host species presents several challenges. The transmission potential of competent hosts depends on factors influencing the contact rate between hosts and vectors. Feeding preferences of vectors can determine which host species drive the prevalence of infection throughout the overall...

  • A Ross-Macdonald Model with Vector Demography

    Creator:
    Reyes Grimaldo, Ricardo Noe Gerardo
    Abstract:
    Malaria is a vector-borne disease that has affected humans and other animals for a long time and which has shown high prevalence among different populations. During the beginning of the 20th century, Sir Ronald Ross and George Macdonald developed a model that represents the spread of malaria through the interaction...

  • 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...

  • Magnetic Properties of Polymer Nanocomposite Materials Prepared using Multi Jet Fusion 3D Printing Methods

    Creator:
    Cannamela, Madeleine G.
    Abstract:
    The goal of this research was to explore if an inkjet 3D printing technology, known as Multi Jet Fusion (MJF), could be used to fabricate magnetic polymer nanocomposites with systematically varied volume fractions of magnetic nanoparticles. Soft magnetic nanoparticles were chosen because of their applications in communications technologies and other...

  • Modelling Development of Opinion Matrices Over Time

    Creator:
    Oostrom, Martijn L.
    Abstract:
    Given an initial opinion matrix in which every member of a population gives an opinion score of all the members in a population, natural questions to ask could be regarding what happens to those opinions over time, both in forward time and in backward time. While what happens over time...

  • Swept time-space domain decomposition on GPUs and heterogeneous computing systems

    Creator:
    Magee, Daniel J.
    Abstract:
    Modern scientific and engineering problems often require simulations with a level of resolution difficult to achieve in reasonable amounts of time—even in effectively parallelized programs. Therefore, applications that exploit high performance computing (HPC) systems have become invaluable in academia and industry over the past two decades. Addressing the questions that...

  • A heterogeneous flow numerical model based on domain decomposition methods

    Creator:
    Zhang, Yi
    Abstract:
    In this study, a heterogeneous flow model is proposed based on a non-overlapping domain decomposition method. The model combines potential flow and incompressible viscous flow. Both flow domains contain a free surface boundary. The heterogeneous domain decomposition method is formulated following the Dirichlet-Neumann method. Both an implicit scheme and an...
