  • Ocean electric energy extraction opportunities

    Creator:
    Zhang, Heng
    Abstract:
    The world's oceans contain tremendous renewable energy potentials. It is estimated that if 0.2% of the ocean's untapped energy could be harnessed, it could provide power sufficient for the entire world [1]. This thesis provides a comprehensive description of the state-of-the-art of ocean energy extraction technologies and lessons learned from...

  • Painterly rendering using space-time varying style parameters

    Creator:
    Kagaya, Mizuki
    Abstract:
    Automatic painterly rendering systems have been proposed but they opted for selecting a single style to generate paintings from images, which lacks the ability of creatively using multiple styles to focus important objects and deemphasize unimportant part of the scenes. We provide a multi-style painting framework to address this issue...

  • Interactive 3D line integral convolution on the GPU

    Creator:
    Lakshmanan, Vasumathi
    Abstract:
    The Line Integral Convolution (LIC) is a mainstay of flow visualization. It is, however, computationally intensive, which limits its interactivity. Also, when used to view three-dimensional (3D) vector fields, the resulting images are dense and cluttered, making it difficult to perceive the flow on the interior parts of the field....

  • Towards Annotation-Efficient Video Representation Learning

    Creator:
    Patravali, Jay Sanjay
    Abstract:
    Labeling videos is costly, time-consuming and tedious. These costs can escalate in applications such as medical diagnosis or autonomous driving where we need domain expertise for annotation. Few-shot action recognition aims to solve this problem by annotation-efficient learning mechanisms. This thesis presents MetaUVFS as the first Unsupervised Meta-learning algorithm for...

  • Genome Resource Development for Advancement of Corylus avellana Breeding

    Creator:
    Talbot, Samuel Corcoran
    Abstract:
    The European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is a tree nut crop that is important in Oregon, which produces 99% of the United States’ hazelnuts but only 5% of the world’s supply. In order to maintain this market share, farmers in Oregon need cultivars that produce high quality nuts, mature early,...

  • Oxygenate Reactions over PdCu and PdAg Catalysts: Influence of Electronic and Geometric Effects

    Creator:
    Bathena, Tanmayi
    Abstract:
    Bimetallic catalysis is a promising way to tune the catalytic properties of heterogeneous catalysts. In particular, bimetallic catalysts are extensively used to enhance the selectivity of monometallic catalysts in a variety of contexts, from oxidation catalysis to oxygenate coupling. In this work, we investigate PdxCuy/SiO2 and PdxAgy/SiO2 catalysts in the...

  • Movement Pattern Detection Through IMU and Barometer

    Creator:
    Qian, Yang
    Abstract:
    Movement pattern detection can be applied in a variety of applications such as assisting independent living of seniors at home, behaviour understanding in surveillance systems, sports analytics, and robotics. This project develops a scheme that fuses information from different sensors to detect movement patterns. This report contains three main parts:...

  • Adaptive Wing Loss for Robust Face Alignment via Heatmap Regression

    Creator:
    Wang, Xinyao
    Abstract:
    Heatmap regression has became one of the mainstream approaches to localize facial landmarks. As Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) are becoming popular in solving computer vision tasks, extensive research has been done on these architectures. However, the loss function for heatmap regression is rarely studied. In...

  • Exploring Indoor Navigation Based on 9-dof Kalman Filter and SLAM Algorithm

    Creator:
    Qin, Shuxian
    Abstract:
    Traditional localization techniques rely on triangulation or trilateration, where in a set of three or more stationary known locations is used to estimate a “client” position. For inertial navigation, these techniques can estimate client positions merely using the measured data from tri-axial accelerometers and gyroscopes. However, the use of double...

  • Flavin-containing monooxygenase : metabolism and toxicity of anti-tuberculosis drug ethionamide in lung

    Creator:
    Singh, Priti B.
    Abstract:
    Multiple drug resistance (MDR) Tuberculosis (TB), leads to increased use of “second-line” drugs; one of the most effective is ethionamide (ETA). ETA is a prodrug metabolized by a mycobacterial flavin-containing monooxygenase (EtaA) as well human flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMOs). Of the five functional FMOs of humans, FMOs 1, 2, and 3...
