  • 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....

  • Volume analysis and visualization

    Creator:
    Khare, Ankit
    Abstract:
    3D datasets acquire great importance in the context of medical imaging. In this thesis we survey and enhance solutions to problems inherently associated with 3D datasets-processing time,noise and visualization. Efforts include development of a tool kit to provide a multi-threaded processing platform to cut processing time, produce real time visualization...

  • Marketing characteristics of Oregon's fresh frozen shrimp industry

    Creator:
    Langmo, R. Donald, Carter, Christopher Norton, Bailey, Ronald O., Oregon State University. Sea Grant College Program, and Oregon State University. Agricultural Experiment Station
    Abstract:
    This work consolidates from many sources features of the fresh frozen shrimp industry in terms of its product volume, value, growth trends and position relative to other Oregon sea­food commodities. Market structure and functions are described as the product moves from the fisherman through the processor, broker, wholesaler and retailer...

  • Volume-volume matching

    Creator:
    Sandhu, Avneet
    Abstract:
    Oftentimes in visualization, the goal of using volume datasets is not just to visualize them but also to analyze and compare them. In order to compare the two volumes, we cannot take all the voxels into consideration. The size of a typical volume data set is quite large (maybe a...

  • Food deserts in the Willamette : a study of food access in Lane County, Oregon

    Creator:
    Smith, Dianna Marie
    Abstract:
    According to USDA research, Oregon in 2002 had the highest rate of hunger and one of the highest rates of food insecurity in the United States. Although the margin of error involved with these statistics indicates that the state may not actually be at the top of the list, a...

  • Hazards of inequality : comparing two neighborhoods in San Francisco in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake

    Creator:
    Moore, Monika Z.
    Abstract:
    This study examined two neighborhoods in San Francisco with similar earthquake-induced ground failure history -- the Marina District and the South of Market Area (SoMa) -- in the aftermath of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The earthquake struck shortly after 5 pm on October 17th, 1989 and registered 6.9 in...

  • Anticipating impacts

    Creator:
    Hermens, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    We present an approach for generating a character’s response in anticipation of an impending impact. Protective anticipatory movement is built upon several simple actions that have been identified as response mechanisms in monkeys and in humans. These actions are parameterized by a model of the interaction based on the approaching...

  • An evaluation of attempts to reestablish the sea otter in Oregon

    Creator:
    Jameson, Ronald James
    Abstract:
    During the summers of 1970 and 1971 a total of 95 sea otter (Enhydra lutris) were shipped to Oregon from Amchitka Island, Alaska. The 1970 shipment consisted of 31 otter which were to be released on the southern Oregon Coast near the town of Port Orford. Two of these animals...

  • Evolving character controllers for collision preparation

    Creator:
    Rose, Robert W.
    Abstract:
    Full dynamic control of physically simulated characters is the holy grail of video games and other interactive applications. Recent advances in the field have presented controllers that can handle the balance and fall response after a collision. This thesis addresses the development of a controller that handles the response before...

  • Establishment and growth of natural and planted conifers ten years after overstory thinning and vegetation control in 50-year-old Douglas-fir stands

    Creator:
    Nabel, Mark R.
    Abstract:
    Forest managers of public lands in western Oregon and Washington have become increasingly interested in creating additional conifer cohorts in young, even-aged, second-growth Douglas-fir stands. The purpose of our research was to assess the establishment, survival, and growth of naturally-regenerated and underplanted conifers 10-13 years after overstory thinning and understory...
