  • Street children : the other side of tourism in Hue, Viet Nam

    Creator:
    Wangsgard, David B.
    Abstract:
    Street children are a significant presence in Hue, Viet Nam's tourist center, where they eat, sleep, work, and play. Utilizing ethnographic methods, this study examines how tourism impacts the lives of street children involved in the industry. The street children have generally been compelled to leave home because of adverse...

  • Network Coding, Random Matrices, and Their Applications to Communication Systems

    Creator:
    Nguyen-Huu, Duong
    Abstract:
    In this work, we study network coding technique, its relation to random matrices, and their applications to communication systems. The dissertation consists of three main contributions. First, we propose efficient algorithms for data synchronization via a broadcast channel using random network coding. Second, we study the resiliency of network coding...

  • Modeling and dynamics analysis of P2P networks based on evolutionary games

    Creator:
    Cho, Seungyun
    Abstract:
    Since free riders in P2P network reduce the system's performance, how to maintain and encourage the nodes' cooperation is an important aspect of P2P related research. In this thesis, a P2P system is modeled based on two games: stag hunt game and snowdrift game. To relate the model to the...

  • Fast data replenishment in peer to peer networks

    Creator:
    Dhamodaran, Arul Nambi
    Abstract:
    Peer-to-Peer (P2P) based distributed storage systems have gain much popularity in recent years. These systems rely greatly on the data redundancy to be robust under network dynamics, i.e., the dynamics of peer entering and departing the network. Hence, it is important to implement mechanisms for maintaining a certain level of...

  • Network coding for sensor networks, distributed storage and video streaming

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Kien Trung
    Abstract:
    The classical store-and-forward routing has and will continue to be the most important routing architecture in many modern packet-switched communication networks. In a packet-switched network, data is sent in the form of discrete packets that traverse hop-by-hop from a source to a destination. At each intermediate hop, the router stores...

  • Initial velocity analyses of milling effects on rates of enzyme-catalyzed saccharification of native wheat straw

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Quynh M.
    Abstract:
    There is considerable interest in developing environmentally friendly processes for the economical conversion of biomass plant material to biofuels, bioproducts and biomaterials. One approach to such a conversion process is to make use of enzymes for the conversion of plant polysaccharides to simple sugars; the simple sugars could then be...

  • High efficiency wideband low-power delta-sigma modulators

    Creator:
    Lee, Sang Hyeon
    Abstract:
    Delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters traditionally have been used for low speed, high resolution applications such as measurements, sensors, voice and audio systems. Through continued device scaling in CMOS technology and architectural and circuit level design innovations, they have even become popular for wideband, high dynamic range applications such as wired and...

  • Efficiency and productivity in U.S. commercial banking : a non-parametric approach

    Creator:
    Onkiso, Abinet
    Abstract:
    In this paper, I estimate efficiency and productivity change in the U.S. banking industry. The data consist of annual observations of 25 banks from 2004 to 2008. The paper follows a two-stage procedure. In the first-stage, utilizing the non-parametric methodologies, input-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model and DEA based Malmquist...

  • Resilience of large river basins : applying social-ecological systems theory, conflict management, and collaboration on the Mekong and Columbia Basins

    Creator:
    MacQuarrie, Patrick R.
    Abstract:
    River basins provide essential services for both humans and ecosystems. Understanding the connections between ecosystems and society and their function has been at the heart of resilience studies and has become an increasing important endeavor in research and practice. In this dissertation, I define basin resilience as a river basin...

    Hilton, Michael
    Abstract:
    A bad software development process leads to wasted effort and inferior products. In order to improve a software process, it must be first understood. In this work I focus on understanding software processes. The first process we seek to understand is Continuous Integration (CI). CI systems automate the compilation, building,...
