Plankton samples for this present study were collected from an
area off the southern Oregon coast, extending westward to about 83
kilometers offshore. Over this sampling area, 41 species of adult
copepods were identified, including representatives of 26 genera and
17 families. The total abundance averaged 550/m³.

Power and timing requirements are becoming more and more stringent as
applications move from less mobile devices to more mobile ones. As such, it is
important to optimize these applications as much as possible in order to provide the
best solution that is low power and low latency. Although there...
This study explored the relationship between ethnic and ego identities taking
into consideration age at arrival in the U.S., gender of adolescent, family functioning,
and parental performance of ethnic behaviors/activities. In addition, this study
described the general nature of ethnic and ego identity development among Korean-
American adolescents.
One hundred...
Recent trends in CMOS technology and scaling of devices clearly indicate that leakage power in digital circuits would be crucial and largely depend on the sub-threshold current.
Minimizing leakage is gaining increasing importance along with other critical design aspects primarily due to the growing demand for portable battery-operated electronic devices...
This thesis work evaluates the need for a re-configurable cross compiler for the X32V processor architecture and discusses the process of developing a cross compiler for X32V. X32V is a new processor intended at the embedded applications domain whose instruction set is designed based on the widely used MIPS processor....
This study presents a comparison of differences in cognitive mapping as a result of navigating an unfamiliar space with GPS or with Google Glass. Using the Yerkes-Dodson law and attenuation theory, the study attempts to uncover how attention is diverted or focused through each of these wayfinding platforms. In addition...
Wireless Networks have been widely adopted into a major part of today's network infrastructure. They have become a popular technology to not only expand the coverage of wired networks but also to interconnect a large wireless network, i.e., wireless mesh networks. As they allow more flexible communication than traditional wired-networks...
Since its introduction in the early 1990s, the quick growth of the World Wide Web
(WWW) traffic raises the question of whether past Local Area Network (LAN) packet
traces still reflect the current situation or whether they have become obsolete. For this
thesis, several LAN packet traces were obtained by...
