  • Autonomous helicopter systems: design and implementation solutions

    Creator:
    Nguyen, John
    Abstract:
    Creating intelligent robotics is at the cutting edge of technology. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are of particular interest for surveillance applications. UAVs have the potential to provide quick and cheap aerial data that would be difficult to obtain by conventional means. UAVs also have the ability to navigate without being...

  • The effects of nitrogen, tillage and irrigation on the color of Willamette Valley Pinot noir wine

    Creator:
    Helms, Kelly L.
    Abstract:
    Various vineyard practices influence the quality of a wine. In 1999, three levels of nitrogen (N), two levels of tillage and two levels of irrigation were applied to Pinot noir grape cultivars at Benton Lane Vineyards in the Southern Willamette Valley. N treatments were zero, soil and foliar applications. Every...

  • A multi-faceted method for validating emotional intelligence

    Creator:
    Reyna, Nicholas R.
    Abstract:
    The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) purports to assess emotional intelligence, which includes the ability to successfully identify and manage emotions. To test the validity of this claim, 21 students took the MSCIET along with a several other performance measures and personality scales, and their scores were correlated. The MSCEIT...

  • Ultra sonic SCUBA diver tracking device hardware

    Creator:
    Lindsley, Christopher J.
    Abstract:
    Currently, there is no accurate, low-cost method to track divers. Watching bubbles can give you an approximate xy-location, and expensive underwater radios utilizing ultrasonic waves can work if the diver knows where they are. Traditional radio waves do not work well in water due to the conductive nature of water....

  • Efficient P2P media dissemination with forward error correction

    Creator:
    Do, Phuoc
    Abstract:
    Media application on the internet has become more and more popular as the bandwidth of the network links increase. The bottleneck of the existing media systems is no longer the link bandwidth at user’s end, but the server’s ability to handle streaming requests. These existing streaming systems do not scale...

  • A fabrication study of surface acoustic wave devices for magnetic field detection

    Creator:
    Chin, Matthew L.
    Abstract:
    Surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors are versatile devices that can be configured to sense a variety of measurands such as temperature and pressure. The potential use of surface acoustic wave devices for magnetic field detection is explored in this study. Compared to current magnetic field sensors, a sensor based on...

  • Safety Audits: A Comparison of Traditional Safety Audits to the Interactive Highway Safety Design Model

    Creator:
    Houghton, Tegan Marie
    Abstract:
    In the United States there are currently two different options for providing safety audits to roadway projects. Traditional audits can be conducted using procedures similar to those in the United Kingdom, or those similar to Australia and New Zealand (Austroads). Another option for conducting safety audits is to use the...
