It is well known that multipath effects cause inter-symbol interference (ISI) for high-speed signaling and ultimately limit the achievable data rate at any frequency band. In this thesis, we study several different methods to tackle this issue and provide solutions for establishing efficient wireless links that can provide several Gbps...

How and where the ocean tides dissipate
their energy are longstanding questions with both
oceanographic and astronomical implications. Two
decades ago, Doake suggested that flexing of Antarctic
ice shelves by the underlying ocean tide is an important
energy sink, perhaps accounting for over half the global
dissipation rate. Observational constraints...
The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has modeled twelve reference animals and plants (RAPs) with simple geometric shapes to be used when estimating radiation dose to non-human biota (NHB). In recent years, there has been interest in creating more realistic models in order to better understand the radiation interactions...

This thesis presents the results of a formal evaluation of a new AOGCM, GENMOM, demonstrating its ability to simulate present-day climate and ENSO dynamics. The model is applied to simulate climate for the Last Glacial Maximum, deglacial, and Holocene time periods. The model output is evaluated against the best available...
Flat, laminar, premixed hydrocarbon-air flames were stabilized
on a porous-plate burner. In addition to temperature profiles,
concentration profiles were measured for methane, ethane, ethylene,
propane, acetylene, propylene, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and
oxides of nitrogen. Dead space thickness, luminous flame zone
thickness and hydrocarbon disappearance point responses were also
monitored....
Studies were conducted to determine the nature of the interaction
between atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylaminos-
triazine) and magnesium on tomatoes. This interaction was
studied under two light regimes: continuous light and a 12-hour
photoperiod. Tomato plants were grown in sand cultures at three
levels of magnesium fertilization. Four weeks after planting,
atrazine...

The reading of world literature, literary works from cultures other than one’s own, offers
an effective means of creating greater awareness and sensitivity towards others. Research
on the subject makes it clear that world literature can help lay the groundwork for a sense

The objective of this research project was to identify the limitations associated
with schedule-based Material Requirements Planning (SBMRP) and to
present a knowledge-based expert system (KBES) approach to solve these problems.
In SBMRP, the basic strategy is to use backward or forward scheduling
based on an arbitrary dispatching rule, such...
The results of SDS-PAGE and densitometry indicated that a significant amount of myofibrillar proteins was lost during surimi processing. Microfiltration (MF) was utilized to recover insoluble particulate. The MF-recovered proteins showed highly functional properties in gel hardness, cohesiveness, color, and water retention ability. The soluble proteins concentrated by ultrafiltration (UF)...
This capstone project is presented for the completion of Oregon State University’s (OSU) Master of Natural Resources Program. Water resource reliability in the Pacific Northwest is becoming less dependable, but population and municipal water demand is increasing. The Gales Creek Watershed and its tributary Clear Creek encompass 48,481 acres in...
This thesis focuses on the problem of object tracking. Given a video, the general objective of tracking is to track the location over time of one or more targets in the image sequence. This is a very challenging task as algorithms need to deal with problems such as appearance variations,...

Tidal marshes are dynamic ecosystems that are threatened by climate change and sea-level rise. To characterize baseline condition and historic climate sensitivities, and improve projections into the future, new methods are required that integrate data from the field and remote sensing platforms. Marsh elevation response models can be calibrated with...
Sensors find a variety of applications in portable electronics, automotive and biomedical solutions. The demand for low power and high dynamic range makes the design of digital sensor readout circuits quite challenging. Traditionally, these circuits are realized using amplifiers with passive feedback or precision analog comparators which are power hungry...
Phase Locked Loops(PLLs) are an integral part of almost every electronic system. Systems involving low frequency clocks often require PLLs with low bandwidth. The area occupied by the large loop filter capacitor and resistor in a low bandwidth PLL design makes the realization of traditional charge-pump PLL architecture impractical on...
