The effect of soil temperature and plant water stress on nitrogen
uptake, growth rate and transpiration rate of wheat (Triticum aestivum
VILL. , Host) seedlings was studied. A special apparatus for the control
of plant water stress and root temperature was used.
Leaf area was measured by the air flow...
Multiple use of waste heat from power plants may become an
important consideration in the development, siting, and certification
of these plants. A multiple use system of components that can
beneficially utilize waste heat may include home heating and cooling,
greenhouses, animal enclosures, open basins for single cell protein
production...
A time domain simulation model which approximates the
three-dimensional velocity fluctuations of wind turbulence
has been developed. This model is used in a discrete time
control algorithm to regulate the output torque of a wind
turbine by changing the pitch angle of the turbine blade.
The wind model provides a...
Natural Language Comprehension is a challenging domain of Natural Language Processing. To improve a model’s language comprehension/understanding, one approach would be to enrich the structure of the model to enhance its capability in learning the latent rules of the language.
In this dissertation, we will first introduce several deep models...
Vortical structures are the driving mechanism of transition to turbulence in porous media requiring adequately resolved observations along with analysis of the scale and energy of flow within the pores. Of specific interest is to understand the vortex dynamics, energy, and turbulent mixing and transport properties in the scale of...
Data centers (DCs) have been witnessing unprecedented growth in size, number and complexity in recent years. They consist of tens of thousands of servers interconnected by fast network switches, hosting and enabling numerous applications with various traffic characteristics and requirements. As a result, DC networks have been presented with several...
This compilation of theses and dissertations (a part of the OSU Bibliographic Series) for the period 1970-1977 reflects this university's emphasis on research and graduate study. It may be viewed as an indicator of the contributions made to the state of Oregon through graduate study and research at Oregon State...
Differential equations governing the combined heat and mass
transfer in soils are developed. Transient heat, liquid and vapor
transfer with phase change is considered. The liquid transfer is
treated as a function of the hydraulic conductivity and the gradient of
suction potential. The suction potential is considered a function of...
Deep learning is now being utilized widely in applications where sensitive data is being used for model training, for example, in health care. In this scenario, any data leakage will cause privacy concerns to whose data records are used to train the model. An attacker can actively cause privacy leakage...
There is very little research on Iranian women’s style preferences. Because of Islamophobia in the media and tensions between the U.S. and Iran, many Iranian women are portrayed as part of a large, vague bloc of Muslim women who are considered to be outside of fashion and wear shapeless black...
