Novel control of a permanent magnet linear generator for ocean wave energy applications

Creator:: VanderMeulen, Aaron H.
Abstract:: Wave energy conversion devices are a rapidly growing interest worldwide for the potential to harness a sustainable and renewable energy source. Due to the oscillatory nature of ocean waves, the power generated from a permanent magnet linear generator (PMLG) for ocean wave energy conversion is pulsed. Focusing on direct drive...

A high power emulation of a wind farm

Creator:: Lalla, Chelsea
Abstract:: As more wind farms are connected to the grid, the variable nature of wind energy begins to influence grid stability. Energy storage could help smooth the variable nature of wind energy. Laboratory demonstration and exploration of the interaction between different energy storage devices and wind energy could help improve and...

Zero kinetic energy photoelectron spectroscopy of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Creator:: Zhang, Jie
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I present electronic spectra of a few polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs): tetracene, pentacene, pyrene, benzo[g,h,i]perylene and benzo[a]pyrene using resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) and zero kinetic energy (ZEKE) photoelectron spectroscopy. The work of tetracene and pentacene also combine a laser desorption source with a ZEKE spectrometer, demonstrating...

Resilience and adaptability of transboundary rivers : the principle of equitable distribution of benefits and the institutional capacity of the Nile Basin

Creator:: Iyob, Biniam
Abstract:: Biophysical, socioeconomic and geopolitical pressures from population growth and economic development are leading to an increase in tensions regarding the sharing of water within transboundary basins. Transboundary basins are surface rivers and groundwater resources that are shared among sovereign nations and autonomous regions. This dissertation focuses on surface water in...

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) : what we can and cannot see in the forest for the trees

Creator:: Edson, Curtis B.
Abstract:: Recently concerns over anthropogenic carbon pollution have received increased global attention and research in forest biomass and carbon sequestration has gained momentum. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing has in the last decade demonstrated forest measurement and biomass estimation potential. The project objective was to compare LiDAR forest biomass...

Understanding environmentalism in six Asian countries : an analysis of the world values survey

Creator:: Choi, Eugene
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on a central question for six countries in Asia: what factors affect environmentalism? Numerous studies have proposed mixed theoretical explanations for the relationship between diverse values and beliefs regarding environmentalism. Although these diverse studies propose theories for the fast-growing and multifaceted environmentalism in Asia, here it is...

Considerations in the financing of Oregon dairy enterprises : investigations of three selected problem areas

Creator:: Miller, David Paul, 1949-
Abstract:: As the capital requirements for the modern dairy enterprise increase, the Oregon milk producer and his lender need more information concerning the profitability, solvency and liquidity of the enterprise on which to base their financial decisions. This research examines three areas where more information could be used to evaluate financial...

A Monte Carlo analysis of principal components and ridge regression with application to a fisheries evaluation model

Creator:: Sass, M. E. (Mary Ellen)
Abstract:: Essential to the testing of propositions in economic theory is the estimation of the parameters involved in relationships among economic variables. Probably the most widely used method of estimation is ordinary least squares (OLS). However, severe multicollinearity or near linear dependence of the explanatory variables can cause the OLS estimates...
