Properties and communication algorithms for k-ary n-cube interconnection networks

Creator:: Ashir, Yaagoub A.
Abstract:: The k-ary n-cube structure is presented in this paper for interconnecting a network of microcomputers in parallel and distributed environments. Machines based on the k-ary n-cube topology have been advocated as ideal parallel architectures for their powerful interconnecting features. In this paper, we examine the k-ary n-cube from the graph...

Publicly Funded, Privately Assisted : The Role of Giving in Oregon K-12 Education

Creator:: Sattem, Jennifer L.
Abstract:: In Oregon, property tax revolts and school equalization measures have led to increasingly unstable and more non-discretionary public funding for schools. As a result, public schools are turning to private donations to provide both basic and supplemental educational opportunities. Some schools and districts are raising hundreds of thousands of dollars,...

Power Electric System Load and Generation Forecasting via ARMA, ARIMA, and K-Medoids Methods for Grid Expansion Purposes: A Comparison

Creator:: McLaughlin, Zachery D.
Abstract:: The electric power grids of countries across the globe rely on load and generation forecasting to know when, where, and how much resources need to be dispatched to sustain proper grid operation. Because of this, forecasting needs to be highly accurate to avoid unnecessary resource dispatch which can be costly....

The effects of stand thinning on soil erosion rates at Jim's Creek in the Willamette National Forest, Oregon

Creator:: McFadden, Andrew K.
Abstract:: Surface sediment transport is an important geomorphic process which can be significantly altered by management activities in forested ecosystems. Disturbance of the soil surface may result in increased sediment delivery to fish bearing streams and degradation of soil structure. Selective thinning and low impact yarding techniques were utilized in an...

Adapting Wastewater Treatment Plants to Sea Level Rise: A Case Study of Half Moon Bay, California

Creator:: Cozzolino, Brittney K.
Abstract:: Wastewater treatment plants around the world are becoming increasingly at risk of sea level rise impacts as these facilities are typically located in low-lying areas to utilize gravity flow for influent (incoming sewage) and effluent (discharged treated sewage). As these risks become realized, treatment plant managers and decision-makers must know...

Existence Theory in Sobolev Spaces for an Aggregation Equation

Creator:: Barta, Hannah E.
Abstract:: Aggregation equations have been used to model phenomena such as insect swarming and chemotaxis. Previous work on aggregation equations in the area of analysis applied to PDE has proven well-posedness of certain classes of aggregation equations in Lebesgue spaces. We will prove local existence of solutions in H^1 to an...
