  • A VHDL description of speech recognition front-end

    Creator:
    Xiao, Xin
    Abstract:
    This thesis investigates an implementation of speech recognition front-end. It is an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) solution. A Mel Cepstrum algorithm is implemented for the feature extraction. We present a new mixed split-radix and radix-2 Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm, which can effectively minimize the number of complex multiplications...

  • Effect of seed source on growth and performance of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)

    Creator:
    Whitworth, Jonathan L.
    Abstract:
    Twenty Russet Burbank seed lots were collected from four states and one Canadian Province in 1988 and planted in replicated trails at Powell Butte and Hermiston, Oregon as part of a two year study to quantify clonal differences in the cultivar. Samples of each seed lot were concurrently increased and...

  • Comparison of Common Ravens in Sage-grouse Core and Non-Core Areas: Assessing Predator Densities Related to Anthropogenic Features

    Creator:
    Revekant, Claire L.
    Abstract:
    Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus: hereafter sage-grouse) abundance and distribution in North America has declined over the last century. Many factors have contributed to this decline, including habitat loss and fragmentation from human development with an associated potential for increased predation. While human development has been connected to lower sage-grouse demographic...

  • ATRIAS 1.0 & 2.1 : enabling agile biped locomotion with a template-driven approach to robot design

    Creator:
    Grimes, Jesse A.
    Abstract:
    Practical bipedal robots need to be simultaneously efficient, robust, and versatile machines, but designing robots dynamically capable of these demands has been a significant bottleneck. We designed ATRIAS to be a highly dynamic biped capable of both walking and running untethered in real environments. To meet these goals, ATRIAS is...

  • Control of spring-mass running robots

    Creator:
    Vejdani Noghreiyan, Hamid Reza
    Abstract:
    We seek the control strategies that are applicable on legged robots and control them to run in real world as robust and efficient as animals. To achieve this goal, we need to understand the principles of legged locomotion and the control policies that animals use during running. In this study...

  • The Cost of Caring: An Exploratory Study of the Professional Quality of Life of Early-Career SBAE Teachers in Oregon

    Creator:
    Schmidt, Kirby J.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research is to describe the secondary traumatic stress (STS) levels of early career school based agriculture (SBAE) teachers. Using the professional quality of life (ProQOL) scale (Stamm, 2010) as a theoretical framework, secondary traumatic stress, burnout (BO) and compassion satisfaction (CS) levels were measured among (n...

  • Force and impulse control for spring-mass running

    Creator:
    Koepl, Devin N.
    Abstract:
    We present a novel control strategy for running which is robust to disturbances, and makes excellent use of passive dynamics for energy economy. The motivation for our control strategy is based on observations of animals, which are able to economically walk and run over varying terrain and ground dynamics. It...

  • FoXQ : a visual query language for XML

    Creator:
    Abraham, Robin
    Abstract:
    XML is a very versatile data format that has been used to represent many different kinds of data, including web pages, books, business and accounting data, programming interfaces, vector graphics, system logs, and games. In a short span of time, it has gained wide acceptance as the document and data...

  • Cooling and mass transfer rates in fresh fruits

    Creator:
    Chadwick, Jonathan Michael
    Abstract:
    Moisture loss from fresh fruits results in lost revenue to producers, storage/packing companies, distributors, and increased prices for the consumer. Improved methods of storage and handling are necessary to help prevent moisture loss and retard spoilage. A literature review was conducted to improve knowledge on past and current studies involving...

  • The Design Freedoms of a Novel Cable-Driven Manipulator

    Creator:
    Layng, Brian M.
    Abstract:
    Legged locomotion in robotics benefits from engineered hardware dynamics such as configuration-dependent, nonlinear transmissions and compliance. This thesis introduces a novel cable driven leg that allows the design of configuration-dependent transmission ratios while also permitting the addition of compliance in line with the cables to achieve compliant legged locomotion. The...
