  • Directional 60 GHz communication networks

    Creator:
    Yildirim, Ferhat (Ahmet Ferhat)
    Abstract:
    It is well known that multipath effects cause inter-symbol interference (ISI) for high-speed signaling and ultimately limit the achievable data rate at any frequency band. In this thesis, we study several different methods to tackle this issue and provide solutions for establishing efficient wireless links that can provide several Gbps...

  • Monte Carlo derived absorbed fractions in a voxelized model of a rainbow trout

    Creator:
    Hess, Catherine A.
    Abstract:
    The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has modeled twelve reference animals and plants (RAPs) with simple geometric shapes to be used when estimating radiation dose to non-human biota (NHB). In recent years, there has been interest in creating more realistic models in order to better understand the radiation interactions...

  • Simulating past, present, and future changes in ENSO : a model evaluation and data-model comparison

    Creator:
    Alder, Jay R.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the results of a formal evaluation of a new AOGCM, GENMOM, demonstrating its ability to simulate present-day climate and ENSO dynamics. The model is applied to simulate climate for the Last Glacial Maximum, deglacial, and Holocene time periods. The model output is evaluated against the best available...

  • The Impact of World Literature in Secondary Schools in Oregon and Chile : A Comparative Case Study

    Creator:
    McFarland, Annette Catherine
    Abstract:
    The reading of world literature, literary works from cultures other than one’s own, offers an effective means of creating greater awareness and sensitivity towards others. Research on the subject makes it clear that world literature can help lay the groundwork for a sense of world citizenship in students. To what...

  • Municipal Water Impacts on Steelhead Trout in the Gales Creek Watershed

    Creator:
    Smith, Haley B.
    Abstract:
    This capstone project is presented for the completion of Oregon State University’s (OSU) Master of Natural Resources Program. Water resource reliability in the Pacific Northwest is becoming less dependable, but population and municipal water demand is increasing. The Gales Creek Watershed and its tributary Clear Creek encompass 48,481 acres in...

  • Object Tracking-by-Segmentation in Videos

    Creator:
    Chen, Sheng
    Abstract:
    This thesis focuses on the problem of object tracking. Given a video, the general objective of tracking is to track the location over time of one or more targets in the image sequence. This is a very challenging task as algorithms need to deal with problems such as appearance variations,...

  • Using the stock market to forecast future undesirable outcomes

    Creator:
    Algursan, Assem S.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation focuses on the behavior of security returns around certain events that occurred in the Saudi stock market. In the first study, we measure and analyze the reaction of security returns around a major horizontal merger that occurred in the banking industry in Saudi Arabia. The objective of this...

  • Development of acoustic transducers for use in the parametric pumping of spin waves

    Creator:
    Gross, Jonah M.
    Abstract:
    The work detailed here is the development of simulations and fabrication techniques used for the construction of thin-film acoustic transducers for use in the parametric pumping of spin waves. The Mason Model, a 1-D equivalent circuit simulating the responses of multilayer acoustic transducers, is implemented using ABCD-parameters in MATLAB to...

  • Improving Projections of Tidal Marsh Persistence under Climate Change with Remote Sensing and Site-Specific Data

    Creator:
    Buffington, Kevin J.
    Abstract:
    Tidal marshes are dynamic ecosystems that are threatened by climate change and sea-level rise. To characterize baseline condition and historic climate sensitivities, and improve projections into the future, new methods are required that integrate data from the field and remote sensing platforms. Marsh elevation response models can be calibrated with...

  • Design techniques for VCO based digital sensor readout circuits

    Creator:
    Prabha, Praveen
    Abstract:
    Sensors find a variety of applications in portable electronics, automotive and biomedical solutions. The demand for low power and high dynamic range makes the design of digital sensor readout circuits quite challenging. Traditionally, these circuits are realized using amplifiers with passive feedback or precision analog comparators which are power hungry...
