With sequential computing technology reaching its speed limits, parallel processing is emerging as the key to very-high-speed computation. However, developing a parallel program is by no means a simple task; neither is analyzing the performance of parallel programs.
C* is a high-level data-parallel language that hides explicit message passing and...
The reaction of fluid or gas flowing around an obstacle is a common engineering problem. Computer simulations are often used to measure and visualize the physical processes involved. In this report, we will discuss a parallel implementation of a simulation using the Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) approach to fluid flow....
This study investigates the microstructure and mechanical properties of an austenitic Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) steel produced by the Laser Directed Energy Deposition (LDED) process using powder feedstock atomized with elemental yttrium. The Microstructure of the samples was characterized by electron microscopy, and mechanical properties were measured using a tensile...
Wheat is an important part of a healthy and balanced diet, requiring six servings per day to maintain a recommended 2000 Calorie intake (McRae, 2017). Because of this more land than almost any other kind of cereal is set aside for the purposes of growing wheat. To keep up with...
Caesar is an interactive graphic editor that is used to generate layouts for VLSI circuits. It runs on a VAX-11 /780 under the UNIX operating system with Berkeley extensions. Caesar has a unique and simple user interface. Phled is an enhanced version of Caesar that runs on a M68000-based engineering...
With the growing trend in use of 3D laser scanning technology for data collection, it is important to study the various potential applications of this revolutionary technology. One such application is the measurement of road roughness at both large and small scales. At larger extents, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is...
This project hypothesizes that the use of multiple ground-based remote sensing methods can collectively characterize the geophysical signatures of four marked human burials at the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians historic period cemetery. If the geophysical signatures of the marked burials can be characterized, these signatures may be used to...
Includes articles of incorporation of Corvallis College, August, 1868; supplementary articles of incorporation of Corvallis College, December 30; report of the committee upon the title to the college farm, August 9, 1884.
Report prepared by the OSU Libraries Instruction Work Group for the Office of Academic Programs and Academic Assessment. The report describes the Libraries' processes for program improvement with regard to student learning, as part of OSU's accreditation process.
Modular construction methods have recently gained interest due to the advantages offered in terms of safety, quality, and productivity for projects. In this method, a significant portion of the construction is performed off-site in factories where modular components are built in different workstations, assembled on the production line, and shipped...
Spreadsheet represents the journals in which faculty in the Botany and Plant Pathology Department most often published from 1999-2004. Includes journal title, cost, impact factor, publisher, information about whether the journal is published by a non-profit or commercial publisher, average number of pages over a 5 year period, and cost...
The purpose of this Management and Action Plan is to help guide the Nestucca-Neskowin Watersheds Council (Council) in accomplishing three main goals:
To provide opportunities for watershed-related education to the people who live, work, and recreate in the watershed
To update the Nestucca/Neskowin Watershed Assessment (May 1998).
To protect and...
