  • Interactive Internet connection for a remote digital signal processing lab

    Creator:
    Ehler, Michael
    Abstract:
    A remote Digital Signal Processing (DSP) lab for the Internet is developed to give students the opportunity to work together online with a remotely located Digital Signal Processor (DSP). Students in different locations can work together with the DSP as if they were present in the lab. To make this...

  • Diversity combining ARQ over the m(> 2)-ary unidirectional channel

    Creator:
    Elarief, Noha
    Abstract:
    In diversity combining automatic repeat request (ARQ), erroneous packets are combined together forming a single, more reliable, packet. In this thesis, we give a diversity combining scheme for the m-ary unidirectional channel. A system using the given scheme with a t-unidirectional error detecting code is able to correct up to...

  • Just Beneath the Surface : Analysis of Excavations at 35WS453, The Dalles Chinatown

    Creator:
    French, Jamie
    Abstract:
    In a mostly abandoned block, capped by concrete, the building at 210 East 1st Street, The Dalles, Oregon still stands as one of three remaining structures. This building housed the Wing Hong Hai Company, a mercantile store and Chinese laundry, from 1889 to 1926. Beneath the modern concrete that encircles...

  • Primal Matter : Deep Objects in Historical Accounts of the Glanton Gang

    Creator:
    Schauer, Austin A.
    Abstract:
    The question of deep time has been widely debated in the field of American Literature, with scholar Wai Chee Dimock arguing that a deep time perspective puts the chronology of different nations against one another. However, this argument has not adequately addressed the issue of how deep time theories would...

  • Time domain characterization of interconnect discontinuities

    Creator:
    Jong, Jyh-Ming
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study is to develop experimental techniques to characterize typical interconnect discontinuities, including bends, steps, T junctions, vias and pads, which are the most commonly encountered interconnections in high speed digital integrated circuits, hybrid and monolithic microwave circuits and electronic packages. The time domain reflection response of...

  • Parental accounts of a child's death : influences on parental identity and behavior

    Creator:
    Brotherson, Sean E.
    Abstract:
    One of the most powerful and life-changing events that can occur in the life of a family is the death of a child. Researchers who have studied death and bereavement suggest that a child's death has a dramatic impact on parents. However, little is known about the ways in which...

  • Gray codes and their applications

    Creator:
    Anantha, Madhusudhanan
    Abstract:
    An n-bit Gray code is an ordered set of all 2n binary strings of length n. The special property of this listing is that Hamming distance between consecutive vectors is exactly 1. If the last and first codeword also have a Hamming distance 1 then the code is said to...

  • Overpartition Ranks, Cranks, and Frobenius Representations

    Creator:
    Morrill, Thomas
    Abstract:
    We generalize overpartition rank and crank generating functions to obtain k-fold variants, and give a combinatorial interpretation for each. The k-fold crank generating function is interpreted by extending the first and second residual cranks to a natural infinite family. The k-fold rank generating functions generate two families of buffered Frobenius...

  • New Families of pseudo-Anosov Homeomorphisms with Vanishing Sah-Arnoux-Fathi Invariant

    Creator:
    Do, Hieu Trung
    Abstract:
    Translation surfaces can be viewed as polygons with parallel and equal sides identified. An affine homeomorphism φ from a translation surface to itself is called pseudo-Anosov when its derivative is a constant matrix in SL₂(R) whose trace is larger than 2 in absolute value. In this setting, the eigendirections of...

  • Continued fractions and the divisor at infinity on a hyperelliptic curve : examples and order bounds

    Creator:
    Daowsud, Katthaleeya
    Abstract:
    We use the theory of continued fractions over function fields in the setting of hyperelliptic curves of equation y²=f(x), with deg(f)=2g+2. By introducing a new sequence of polynomials defined in terms of the partial quotients of the continued fraction expansion of y, we are able to bound the sum of...
