  • Development of a passive micro-ball valve

    Creator:
    Wangwatcharakul, Worawut
    Abstract:
    A novel design, material, and fabrication method are presented to fabricate a passive micro-ball valve. Microvalves are critical components in microflow control devices used to control the fluid flows in microchannels. These microflow control devices can be integrated with microsensors to form micro analysis systems. Glass/silicon-based fabrication is complicated and...

  • A GIS study of Benton County, Oregon, groundwater : Spatial distributions of selected hydrogeologic parameters

    Creator:
    Miles, Evan S.
    Abstract:
    Benton County has experienced substantial growth in the past 30 years, and is expected to continue growing (BCWP 2008). Continued development has occurred in the Willamette Valley, housing development in the nearby hills of the Coast Range is growing. New houses in the foothills of the Coast Range may not...

  • An efficient data transfer protocol for Ethernet

    Creator:
    Hegde, Anoop R.
    Abstract:
    Most general purpose protocols are found to suffer from inefficiency in an Ethernet LAN environment when used for large volume data transfer. This is especially true with the TCP/IP family which was designed for a wide area network. This research work presents a proof of this inefficiency and proposes a...

  • Students thought processes while engaged in computer programming

    Creator:
    Ahmed, Aqeel M.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the thought processes of secondary level novice programmers engaged in computer programming for the purpose of generating hypotheses for consideration in future research on the relationship between computer programming and problem solving. A high school BASIC programming course with 14 students...

  • Critical current distributions and the V(1) transition in Nb-Ti superconducting composites

    Creator:
    Narang, Girish
    Abstract:
    It is well established that the extended range V(I) transition behavior in filamentary superconducting composites depends strongly on the processing conditions of the composite. Based on previous work, a model proposed by Warnes et al predicts that the second derivative of the V(I) transition is related to a more fundamental...

  • The effect of flight deck automation and automation proficiency on cockpit task management performance

    Creator:
    Suroteguh, Candy Brodie
    Abstract:
    Piloting a commercial aircraft involves performing multiple tasks in a real-time environment that require pilot's attention and cognitive resource allocation. Due to resource limitation, pilots must perform cockpit task management (CTM) because they cannot perform all tasks that demand their attention at once. Hence, pilots must prioritize the tasks in...

  • A methodology for real-time scheduling of jobs with splitting on unrelated parallel machines

    Creator:
    Subur, Fenny
    Abstract:
    Unrelated parallel machines are machines that perform the same function but have different capacity or capability. Thus, the processing time of each job would be different on machines of different types. The scheduling environment considered is dynamic in both job release time and machine availability. Additionally, each job considered can...

  • On shortest disjoint paths and Hamiltonian cycles in some interconnection networks

    Creator:
    Hussain, Zaid
    Abstract:
    Parallel processors are classified into two classes: shared-memory multiprocessors and distributed- memory multiprocessors. In the shared-memory system, processors communicate through a common memory unit. However, in the distributed multiprocessor system, each processor has its own memory unit and the communications among the processors are performed through an interconnection network. Thus,...

  • Layered rendering model for human teeth

    Creator:
    Shetty, Sudarshanram
    Abstract:
    This study introduces a layered model for rendering human teeth. Human teeth exhibit complex light interaction due to their layered structure. While the lighting responses of teeth have been studied in the dental industry for the production of realistic looking dentures, to our knowledge this is the first study of...

  • Improved design techniques for analog and mixed circuits

    Creator:
    Nishida, Yoshio
    Abstract:
    Although the digital revolution can realize many of past analog components in the digital forms, our world is surrounded with analog signals such as voice, temperature, etc. The bridge between these two worlds is one of key performance limitations among overall systems and it includes analog filters and data converters....
