  • Properties of marine stratus and stratocumulus derived using collocated MODIS and CALIPSO observations

    Creator:
    Hayes, Christopher R.
    Abstract:
    Adiabatic parcel models suggest specific relationships between cloud thickness and cloud properties. Such relationships govern cloud radiative forcing and thus cloud feedbacks in the climate system. Current remote sensing techniques work well at measuring these properties in low-level cloud systems that are overcast. Significant biases exist, however, when measuring cloud...

  • Using ship tracks to characterize the effects of haze on cloud properties

    Creator:
    Segrin, Matthew S.
    Abstract:
    1-km MODIS observations of ship tracks off the west coast of the U.S. are used to characterize changes in cloud visible optical depths, cloud droplet radii, cloud cover fraction, and column cloud liquid water amount as low-level marine clouds respond to particle pollution from underlying ships. This study re-examines the...

  • Overestimation of cloud cover in the MODIS cloud product

    Creator:
    Schuetz, Andrea M.
    Abstract:
    The operational processing of MODIS imagery to produce the MOD06 cloud product is based on the assumption that cloudy 1-km pixels are overcast. This assumption is examined using a partly cloudy pixel retrieval scheme, which allows for fractional cloud cover within the 1-km pixels. Cloud flags attached to 250-m MODIS...

  • Modified VLSI designs for error correction codes

    Creator:
    Chen, Lupin
    Abstract:
    Nowadays, error correction codes have become an integral part in almost all the modern digital communication and storage systems. With the continuously increasing demands for higher speed and lower power communication systems, efficient VLSI implementations of those error correction codes have great importance for practical applications. In this thesis, several...

  • Confessing Ireland : the colonial politics of Irish Catholicism in James Joyce's A portrait of the artist as a young man

    Creator:
    Rathert, Gregory S.
    Abstract:
    Ireland's Catholic Church played an important role in the turn-of-the-century nationalism that shaped James Joyce's identity and writing; yet it also played an important part in preventing that nationalism from achieving its goals of autonomy and cultural independence. For Joyce, this was particularly evident in the dialects and thought structures...

  • Low-power design techniques for low-voltage analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Kim, Min Gyu
    Abstract:
    The demand for portable electronic systems and the continued down-scaling of device dimensions resulted in rapid improvement in the performance of integrated systems. Several low-voltage design techniques have been proposed to operate analog circuits with sub-1V supply. However, these techniques require higher power consumption to achieve large dynamic range while...

  • Watershed-level patterns among stream amphibians in the Blue River watershed, West-Central Cascades of Oregon

    Creator:
    Hunter, Matthew G.
    Abstract:
    Most recent research on stream amphibians in the Pacific Northwest has focused on associations with reach-level or stand-level environmental features. Little is known about landscape-level distributions of these species or landscape-level aspects of their life-histories. I used a watershed-wide sample and logistic regression to develop models and maps of probability...

  • Design of a 14-bit continuous-time Delta-Sigma A/D modulator with 2.5MHz signal bandwidth

    Creator:
    Li, Zhimin
    Abstract:
    In recent years, there has been growing interest in both industry and academia to use continuous-time (CT) Δ-Σ A/D converters for wideband wireless and wireline communication applications. So far no reported CT Δ-Σ A/D modulator achieves 14-bit or higher dynamic range (DR) with more than 2MHz signal bandwidth (equivalently 4MS/s)....

  • The role of marginalized discourses in constructing the white identity of preservice teachers

    Creator:
    Nava, Roberto Chavira, Jr.
    Abstract:
    This research addresses the complexities of White racial identity development in the lives of five elementary and middle school preservice teachers during their graduate teacher education program at a private Christian Pacific Northwestern university. Using a poststructural framework, this research investigated three questions: 1) How do the aspects of subjectivation...
