Analysis of fourth order numerical methods for the simulation of electromagnetic waves in dispersive media

Creator:: Henderson, Scott Edward
Abstract:: In this thesis, we investigate the problem of simulating Maxwell's equations in dispersive dielectric media. We begin by explaining the relevance of Maxwell's equations to 21st century problems. We also discuss the previous work on the numerical simulations of Maxwell's equations. Introductions to Maxwell's equations and the Yee finite difference...

The implicit derivative matching technique for Maxwell's equations in complex heterogeneous media

Creator:: Kirk, Anna Rae
Abstract:: We construct an implicit derivative matching (IDM) technique for restoring the accuracy of the Yee scheme for Maxwell's equations in dispersive media with material interfaces in one dimension. We consider media exhibiting orientational polarization, which are represented using a Debye dispersive model, examples of which are water and living tissue....

Operator splitting methods for Maxwell's equations in dispersive media

Creator:: Keefer, Olivia A.
Abstract:: Accurate modeling and simulation of wave propagation in dispersive dielectrics such as water, human tissue and sand, among others, has a variety of applications. For example in medical imaging, electromagnetic waves are used to interrogate human tissue in a non-invasive manner to detect anomalies that could be cancerous. In non-destructive...

Modeling the Dynamics of Vector–host Interactions in Avian Communities: Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus as a Model System

Creator:: Muller, Timothy
Abstract:: Understanding the dynamics of seasonal epizootics of vector-borne pathogens infecting multiple host species presents several challenges. The transmission potential of competent hosts depends on factors influencing the contact rate between hosts and vectors. Feeding preferences of vectors can determine which host species drive the prevalence of infection throughout the overall...

Simulator for optimizing performance and power of embedded multicore processors

Creator:: Goska, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: This work presents improvements to a multi-core performance/power simulator. The improvements which include updated power models, voltage scaling aware models, and an application specific benchmark, are done to increase the accuracy of power models under voltage and frequency scaling. Improvements to the simulator enable more accurate design space exploration for...

A Ross-Macdonald Model with Vector Demography

Creator:: Reyes Grimaldo, Ricardo Noe Gerardo
Abstract:: Malaria is a vector-borne disease that has affected humans and other animals for a long time and which has shown high prevalence among different populations. During the beginning of the 20th century, Sir Ronald Ross and George Macdonald developed a model that represents the spread of malaria through the interaction...

Characterizing Microplastic Ingestion in Black Rockfish (Sebastes melanops) along the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Lasdin, Katherine S.
Abstract:: Microplastics (<5mm diameter) are present in a considerable number of marine and aquatic species. Understanding which species, the global spatial distribution, and what quantities of microplastics are present is extremely important for understanding the potential impacts they could have on recreationally important organisms and for the assessment of risk. We...

Magnetic Properties of Polymer Nanocomposite Materials Prepared using Multi Jet Fusion 3D Printing Methods

Creator:: Cannamela, Madeleine G.
Abstract:: The goal of this research was to explore if an inkjet 3D printing technology, known as Multi Jet Fusion (MJF), could be used to fabricate magnetic polymer nanocomposites with systematically varied volume fractions of magnetic nanoparticles. Soft magnetic nanoparticles were chosen because of their applications in communications technologies and other...

Modelling Development of Opinion Matrices Over Time

Creator:: Oostrom, Martijn L.
Abstract:: Given an initial opinion matrix in which every member of a population gives an opinion score of all the members in a population, natural questions to ask could be regarding what happens to those opinions over time, both in forward time and in backward time. While what happens over time...

Swept time-space domain decomposition on GPUs and heterogeneous computing systems

Creator:: Magee, Daniel J.
Abstract:: Modern scientific and engineering problems often require simulations with a level of resolution difficult to achieve in reasonable amounts of time—even in effectively parallelized programs. Therefore, applications that exploit high performance computing (HPC) systems have become invaluable in academia and industry over the past two decades. Addressing the questions that...
