Optimization under Uncertainty of a Magnetohydrodynamics Generator

Creator:: Rajbhandari, Evan
Abstract:: Within this dissertation, we develop tools and techniques to demonstrate the feasibility of real-time optimization of a magnetohydrodynamics generator. To ease computational complexity, we work on the kinematic magnetohydrodynamic system, prescribing the ﬂuid-ﬂow and model the material response of the system through an updated Generalized Ohm’s law. We focus on...

A conceptual model of women entrepreneurs in small businesses

Creator:: Putnam, Carol A.
Abstract:: Women entrepreneurs are an economic force within the American and Oregon economy. Women are starting businesses at two to five times the rate of men. There has been significant research detailing the demographics, barriers, and business management skills of women business owners. Yet, the research to date has been limited...

Performance and optimum design analysis/ computation for propeller type wind turbines

Creator:: Walker, Stel Nathan
Abstract:: Development of a performance analysis for propeller type wind turbines is presented. The analysis uses a strip theory approach that includes tip-loss and blade interference. A comparison is presented between analysis and test data. The comparison indicates that the analysis predicts wind turbine performance to an accuracy that is within...

Dynamic modeling, control aspects and model predictive control of a parafoil and payload system

Creator:: Slegers, Nathan J.
Abstract:: Control issues are investigated for a parafoil and payload system with left and right parafoil brakes used as the control mechanism. It is shown through dynamic modeling and simulation that parafoil and payload systems can exhibit two basic modes of lateral control, namely, roll and skid steering. Using a small...

Compatible Discretizations for Maxwell's Equations with General Constitutive Laws

Creator:: McGregor, D. A.
Abstract:: In this thesis we construct compatible discretizations of Maxwell's equations. We use the term compatible to describe numerical methods for Maxwell's equations which obey many properties of vector Calculus in a discrete setting. Compatible discretizations preserve the exterior Calculus ensuring that the divergence of the curl and the curl of...

Stochastic and Numerical Analysis for Optimization Problems

Creator:: Jiang, Huanqun
Abstract:: There are three chapters of manuscripts in this dissertation and all of them are talking about a speciﬁc theme: stochastic control, but with completely diﬀerent perspectives. In the ﬁrst manuscript, we solve the optimal barrier strategy for dividend distribution in a complicated Lévy system. In this system, the capital of...

Multi-objective Optimization of Reservoir Operation Under Uncertainty with Robust and Flexible Decision Variables

Creator:: Hosseini, Parnian
Abstract:: Optimization of reservoir operation is involves various competing objectives for a scarce resource (water). To find the optimal operation of reservoirs, it is essential to consider multiple objectives simultaneously. There are various sources of uncertainty associated with the reservoir operation problem that should be considered as well. The overarching goal...

Responses and relationships among Fusarium species, sweet corn, and western spotted cucumber beetles

Creator:: Miller, Nathan L. (Nathan Louis)
Abstract:: Sweet corn (Zea mays L.) yields in the Willamette Valley of Oregon have been declining since the early 1990’s. Studies were done to determine if there is a relationship between ear weight and several disease parameters including necrotic crowns or stalk nodes, nodal root rot, radicle root rot, and sub-crown...

Theoretical and experimental factors affecting the accuracy and precision of atomic absorption measurements

Creator:: Bower, Nathan Wayne
Abstract:: A procedure for evaluating the precision of atomic absorption measurements is presented and applied to 21 elements under varying instrumental conditions. The experimental relative standard deviations (RSD's) in absorbance obtained from repetitive measurements made with a high resolution voltmeter and on-line computer, are compared to those predicted by a recently...
