  • The analysis and synthesis of a parallel sorting engine

    Creator:
    Ahn, Byoungchul
    Abstract:
    This thesis is concerned with the development of a unique parallel sort-merge system suitable for implementation in VLSI. Two new sorting subsystems, a high performance VLSI sorter and a four-way merger, were also realized during the development process. In addition, the analysis of several existing parallel sorting architectures and algorithms...

  • The architecture and design of a parallel sorting engine

    Creator:
    Bate, John G.
    Abstract:
    Sorting is typically a compute intensive operation used in many areas of industry. With improved technology, both in the VLSI and CAE areas, we can afford to develop hardware based database computers to move the work load off the main computer. In this thesis the architecture of a VLSI parallel...

  • Development and characterization of a model of glutamate and domoate toxicity in cultured rat cerebellar granule neurons

    Creator:
    Berman, Frederick W.
    Abstract:
    A model of acute glutamate- and domoate-induced toxicity was developed and characterized in cultured rat cerebellar granule cells (CGCs) using experimental conditions which preserve the voltage-dependency of NMDA receptor function. Glutamate, which is normally non-toxic to CGCs in physiologic media (pH 7.4), was shown to induce a cytotoxic response after...

  • Transcriptomic analysis using high-throughput sequencing and DNA microarrays

    Creator:
    Fox, Samuel E.
    Abstract:
    Transcriptomics and gene expression profiling enables the elucidation of the genetic response of an organism to various environmental cues. Transcriptomics enables the deciphering of differences between two closely related organisms to the same environment and in contrast, enables the elucidation of genetic responses of the same organism to different environmental...

  • The effects of single and multiple pathogen and parasite infections on juvenile chinook and coho salmon during early marine residency

    Creator:
    Sandell, Todd A.
    Abstract:
    Nearly 3000 juvenile Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and coho (O. kisutch) salmon captured in nearshore waters off the coasts of Washington and Oregon from 1999-2004 were tested for infection by Renibacterium salmoninarum, Nanophyetus salmincola, and skin metacercariae. First, three quantitative PCR primer/probe sets were compared for detection of R. salmoninarum; amplification...

  • Genomic Resource Development for European Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

    Creator:
    Rowley, Erik R.
    Abstract:
    European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is an important crop Oregon's Willamette Valley, producing 99% of the hazelnuts grown in North America and brings over US $60 million dollars to the region annually. Hazelnuts are rich in fiber and vitamins, as well in demand by consumers due to their popularity as...

  • The design of a reduced instruction set computer using a silicon compiler

    Creator:
    Zhang, Licheng
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to describe the design and implementation of a VSLI reduced instruction set computer (RISC). The RISC machine constitutes a new style of computer architecture. It differs significantly from the complex instruction set computer architectures (CISC) of the past. RISC architectures are characterized by their...

  • The architecture and design of a neural network classifier

    Creator:
    Jiang, Jin
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to present the architecture and design of a neural network-based pattern classifier. The classifier detects textual characters which have been translated, rotated, and corrupted by noise. This form of pattern classifier differs significantly from traditional pattern classifiers. The neural network architecture used in implementing...

  • The determination of selected polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in environmental samples from sites associated with the use of chlorophenolic wood preservatives

    Creator:
    Hackett, Murray
    Abstract:
    Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD's) and dibenzofurans (PCDF's) are environmental pollutants associated with the production and use of a number of industrial chemicals. In addition, PCDD's and PCDF's are produced during low temperature combustion of wastes containing polyvinylchloride (PVC), chlorophenols, and a number of other chemical precursors. A significant source of environmental...
