  • Learning processes in computing machinery

    Creator:
    Collett, Gordon Carter
    Abstract:
    Several learning processes which can be used with computing machinery are discussed in this paper. Consideration is given to what has been done in this field in the past as well as to what is now being done. New ideas which might be applied to such study are introduced. An...

  • Stochastic automata and the problems of reliability in sequential machines

    Creator:
    Parhami, Behrooz
    Abstract:
    The reliability of sequential machines is an important factor in their design and implementation. In this thesis, stochastic sequential machine models are employed to investigate some of the problems concerning the reliability of sequential machines. Two different methods are used to find the reliability required of individual elements. The first...

  • A multiple format telemetry generator using binary counters or binary shift registers

    Creator:
    Cooley, Donald Homer
    Abstract:
    In recent years the types of engineering data accumulated by many telemetry systems have become so diversified and complex, and the environment in which these systems operate has become so restricting that telemetry systems with increased capabilities and decreased size are becoming a necessity. Advances in integrated circuitry techniques satisfy...

  • Control of interconnection-limited sequential machines

    Creator:
    Riese, Keith Alfred
    Abstract:
    The problem considered is that of causing all the machines of an array to turn on simultaneously in the least amount of time. Each machine is a finite sequential machine that can communicate with a limited number of prescribed neighbor machines. A solution for a linear array of these machines,...

  • The equivalence of regular expressions

    Creator:
    Yu, Ting Kwong
    Abstract:
    The use of Regular Expressions to represent the conditions of operations of a finite automaton is becoming popular. A finite automaton can be represented by several regular expressions which are entirely different in out-looks and in structures. It is the primary purpose of this paper to develop several approaches to...

  • Computer performance and evaluation utilizating the resource planning and management system

    Creator:
    Elliott, Jimmie Lynn
    Abstract:
    A review of current computer performance and evaluation techniques reveals a lack of an acceptable analytic tool for optimal computer system performance and evaluation. A generalized approach to the formulation of a third generation computer system model is proposed. The approach is used to optimize computer resource utilization and to...

  • The design of fault detection experiments for sequential machines using homogeneous distinguishing sequences

    Creator:
    Holt, John Douglas
    Abstract:
    The design of checking experiments for sequential machines which do not initially have a distinguishing sequence is investigated. Improvem,Jnts are suggested to an existing method for augmenting the output logic so that the machine acquires homogeneous distinguishing sequences. To indicate how the procedure may be implemented on a computer, elements...

  • Competing Roles of Sea Level Rise and Sediment Supply on Sediment Accretion and Carbon Burial in Tidal Wetlands; Northern Oregon, USA

    Creator:
    Peck, Erin K.
    Abstract:
    Quantification of contemporary sediment and carbon accumulation within Oregon tidal saline wetlands will: (1) fill a critical knowledge gap, and (2) naturally test without complicating variables whether sea level rise or sediment supply primarily control wetland growth. Here we measure vertical accretion rates and carbon burial rates in three Oregon...

  • A petrogenetic model for the Caribbean large igneous province

    Creator:
    Krawl, Kyle A.
    Abstract:
    The Caribbean Plateau is an oceanic large igneous province (CLIP). A widely accepted model for LIP petrogenesis proposes that these large bodies of igneous rock are formed by decompression melting associated with upwelling mantle plume heads during the initiation of hotspot activity. According to this classical model, petrogenesis occurs over...

  • Racism and Bad Faith

    Creator:
    Jones, Gregory Alan
    Abstract:
    Human beings are condemned to freedom, according to Jean-Paul Sartre's Being and Nothingness. Every individual creates his or her own identity according to choice. Because we choose ourselves, each individual is also completely responsible for his or her actions. This responsibility causes anguish that leads human beings to avoid their...
