  • Topologically-Guided Robotic Information Gathering

    Creator:
    McCammon, Seth
    Abstract:
    Information gathering tasks, such as terrestrial search and rescue, aerial inspection, and marine monitoring, require robotic unmanned systems to make decisions on how to travel within an environment to maximize or minimize a path-dependent information objective function. The distribution of information throughout the environment is the result of various processes,...

  • Systematic Codes for Correcting Deletion/Insertion of One Zero in Each and Every Bucket of Zeros

    Creator:
    Vu, Hoang
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, we propose a systematic code for correcting t = 1 insertion/deletion errors of the character ”0” that can occur between any two consecutive 1’s in a binary string. The code requires balanced input strings, where each word of length n contains ⌈n/2⌉ 0’s and ⌊n/2⌋ 1’s. This...

  • Information and analysis techniques for making crop selection decisions

    Creator:
    Bristol, Roger Dale
    Abstract:
    Twenty managers of large diversified irrigated farms in the Willamette Valley area of Oregon were interviewed about the economic information and analysis techniques they use when making crop selection decisions. Two community college farm management instructors, two agricultural lenders, and two certified public accountants working with farmers were interviewed about...

  • Terrain analysis and Geographic Information Systems

    Creator:
    Bruzese, Victoria M.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this paper is to define terrain analysis, as it relates to military applications; to review the historical development of the central ideas of terrain analysis, which has led to the development of three computer programs that are designed to make terrain analysis an automated process rather than...

  • Understanding and improving error-correcting output coding

    Creator:
    Kong, Eun Bae
    Abstract:
    Error-correcting output coding (ECOC) is a method for converting a k-classsupervised learning problem into a large number L of two-class supervised learningproblems and then combining the results of these L evaluations. Previous researchhas shown that ECOC can dramatically improve the classi cation accuracy of supervisedlearning algorithms that learn to classify...

  • Error control techniques for the Z-channel

    Creator:
    Oprisan, Paul
    Abstract:
    The asymmetric nature of bit errors in several practical applications provides grounds for efficient error control techniques. The Z-channel model and special classes of codes like asymmetric error detection codes and t-asymmetric error correcting/d-asymmetric error detecting codes can be successfully used in ARQ protocols for feedback error control enhancement. This...

  • Designing and understanding information retrieval systems using collaborative filtering in an academic library environment

    Creator:
    Jung, Seikyung
    Abstract:
    Accessing information on the Web has become ingrained into our daily lives, and we seek information from many different sources, including conference and journal publications, personal web pages, and others. Increasingly, web-based information retrieval systems such as web-based search engines, library on-line catalog systems, and subscription-based federated search systems are...

  • The Science of Becoming Noble: Rationalizing Aristocracy through Diagrammatic Notations for Dance and Drill in the Age of Enlightenment

    Creator:
    Caulkins, Tamara L.
    Abstract:
    During the eighteenth century, diagrams increasingly became an important aspect of scientific inquiry. Diagrams employed simplification as a strategy for representing complex information, played a role in standardizing scientific language, and served as instruments of reason to think through and communicate problems and findings in mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, natural...

  • Thresholds of uncertainty : radiation and responsibility in the fallout controversy

    Creator:
    Jolly, J. Christopher
    Abstract:
    The public controversy over possible health hazards from radioactive fallout from atomic bomb testing began in 1954, shortly after a thermonuclear test by the United States spread fallout world wide. In the dissertation, I address two of the fundamental questions of the fallout controversy: Was there a threshold of radiation...
