On The Behavior Of The 5f Electrons, Pratik Pankajkumar Dholabhai
Physics Theses
Considerable theoretical efforts have been devoted in recent years to studying the electronic and geometric structures and related properties of surfaces to high accuracy. One of the many motivations for this burgeoning effort has been a desire to understand the detailed mechanisms that lead to surface corrosion in the presence of environmental gases; a problem that is not only scientifically and technologically challenging but also environmentally important. Such efforts are particularly important for systems like the actinides for which experimental work is relatively difficult to perform due to material problems and toxicity. As is known, the actinides are characterized by …

On The Image Of The Totalling Functor, Kristen Ann Beck
On The Image Of The Totalling Functor, Kristen Ann Beck
Mathematics Theses
Let A denote a DG algebra and k a field. The totalling functor, from the category of chain complexes over the graded A-modules to the catagory of DG modules over A, can be extended to one between their derived categories. If this extension were onto, the derived category of the category of DG modules would be superfluous. This paper investigates the image of the extension of Tot in the fundamental case when A is the polynomial ring in d variables over k. When d is at least 2, there are semifree DG modules of rank n, where n is at …

First Observation Of Dijet Events With An Antiproton Tag At [Square Root]S = 1.96 Tev Using The Dø Forward Proton Detector, Michael Strang
Physics Dissertations
The Forward Proton Detector (FPD) is a new sub-system of the DØ detector, a 5000 ton particle physics detector located at the Fermilab Tevatron proton-antiproton collider. The FPD was implemented for the Tevatron Run II and gives access to a wide range of diffractive scattering processes, where one or both of the beam particles remain intact. The analysis described in this thesis makes use of the dipole spectrometer of the FPD to tag outgoing antiprotons in events that have a dijet signature in the central D0 calorimeter. Properties of jets with a diffractive tag signature are compared to jets without …

Computer Science and Engineering Dissertations
With the tremendous growth of applications in wireless mobile and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks, significant research efforts have been made to improve the quality of sevice. Caching and replicating frequently used data objects or files in user's local buffers are popular mechanisms to effectively reduce the communication bandwidth requirement and thus improve the overall system performance. However, the frequent disconnections of users make data consistency a difficult task in wireless mobile and P2P networks. In this dissertation, we design and analyze a Scalable Asynchronous Cache Consistency Scheme (SACCS) for single cell wireless cellular networks. SACCS is a highly scalable, efficient, and …
Finding Blood In Capsule Endoscopy Video, Jay Frederick Cox
Finding Blood In Capsule Endoscopy Video, Jay Frederick Cox
Computer Science and Engineering Theses
Capsule Endoscopy (CE) is a new procedure where endoscopists can visualize and discriminate anomalies of the human gastrointestinal track by allowing the patient to swallow a camera pill. The digital video obtained from the pill is used to safely pinpoint the location of these abnormalities in areas previously unavailable for view. One of the main functions of CE is determining the location of bleeding. Given Imaging, currently the only maker of a FDA approved CE device, has a proprietary and unspecified blood test, called Suspected Blood Index, which can be used to automatically detect where blood occurs in the video. …
An Emperical Evaluation Of Adequacy Criteria For Testing Concurrent Programs, Gaurav Saini
An Emperical Evaluation Of Adequacy Criteria For Testing Concurrent Programs, Gaurav Saini
Computer Science and Engineering Theses
A concurrent program contains two or more threads that execute concurrently and work together to perform some task. Concurrency increases the efficiency of a program. Testing of concurrent programs has been a challenging task because of the inherent non-determinism. Most approaches proposed for concurrent program testing employ, explicitly or implicitly, a coverage criterion to measure test adequacy. In order to apply those approaches, we must first choose a criterion that suits best for our programs. There is a need for quantitative results of evaluation regarding the effectiveness of the various coverage criteria used for the testing of concurrent programs. Such …
Comparison Of Search-Based And Kernel-Based Methods For Graph-Based Relational Learning, Chris Manuel Gonsalves
Comparison Of Search-Based And Kernel-Based Methods For Graph-Based Relational Learning, Chris Manuel Gonsalves
Computer Science and Engineering Theses
Graph-based relational learning has been the focus of relational learning for quite some time. As most of the real-world data is structured, and hence cannot be represented in a single table, various logic-based and graph-based techniques have been proposed for dealing with structured data. Our goal is to perform an in-depth analysis of two such graph-based learning systems. We have selected Subdue to represent the search-based approach and support vector machine (SVM) with graph kernels to represent the kernel-based approach. We perform a comparison between search-based and kernel-based approaches and evaluate their performance in various domains. A search-based approach to …

Sql-Based Approach To Significant Interval Discovery In Time-Series Data, Sunit Shrestha
Sql-Based Approach To Significant Interval Discovery In Time-Series Data, Sunit Shrestha
Computer Science and Engineering Theses
With time-series data, events (like turning off a light, opening garage door, turning on TV) occur with a high degree of certainty not at specific time points but within time intervals (sequence of time points). So, it is useful for applications to consider data as contiguous time points. The smallest interval that satisfies the criteria of interval-confidence (i.e., ratio of total support of participating time points and the number of days) is termed as Significant Interval (SI). Significant Interval Discovery (SID) algorithm finds SIs from time-series data. The main focus of this thesis is on the improvement of existing SID …
Quantitative Comparison Of Two Approaches To Agent Cooperation, Jose Ramon Espino
Quantitative Comparison Of Two Approaches To Agent Cooperation, Jose Ramon Espino
Computer Science and Engineering Theses
Multi-agent systems (MASs) are characterized by collections of autonomous agents that interact with each other in simple ways, but the collection of agents as a whole is characterized by emergent behavior (EB) which will have properties that individual agents do not. Engineers want to design artificial MASs for a variety of reasons including military operations. The idea is for the EB to be carrying out the mission itself. In this scenario, the agents are relatively inexpensive and expendable. A large body of work exists in MAS research for military applications and a variety of different designs have been proposed. Because …

Direct Numerical Simulation For Flow Transition Over A Flat Plate, Shutian Deng
Direct Numerical Simulation For Flow Transition Over A Flat Plate, Shutian Deng
Mathematics Dissertations
In this paper, direct numerical simulation (DNS) of flow transition over a flat plate at a free stream Mach number of 0.5 and a Reynolds number of 1000 based on the free stream velocity and inflow displacement thickness has been carried out. The time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations are solved directly by a third-order TVD Runge-Kutta method from Shu(1998). A sixth order central compact scheme from Lele (1992) that facilitates high resolution of the flow field is used for spatial discretization together with a sixth order implicit compact filter. To avoid possible non-physical wave reflection from the boundaries, the non-reflecting boundary conditions …
Game Theoretical Models And Algorithms For Rate Control In Video Compression, Jiancong Luo
Game Theoretical Models And Algorithms For Rate Control In Video Compression, Jiancong Luo
Computer Science and Engineering Dissertations
This thesis investigates game theory based rate control algorithms for optimizing the bit allocation in video compression. The first algorithm utilizes the cooperative bargaining game in a MB level rate control algorithm to optimize the perceptual quality while guaranteeing "fairness" in bit allocation among macroblocks. The algorithm first allocates the target bits to frames based on their coding complexity; a method to estimate the coding complexity of the remaining frames is proposed. Next, macroblocks of a frame play cooperative games such that each macroblock competes for a share of resources (bits) to optimize its quantization scale while considering the human …
Automating Inhabitant Interactions In Home And Workplace Environments Through Data-Driven Generation Of Hierarchical Partially-Observable Markov Decision Processes, Gregory Michael Youngblood
Automating Inhabitant Interactions In Home And Workplace Environments Through Data-Driven Generation Of Hierarchical Partially-Observable Markov Decision Processes, Gregory Michael Youngblood
Computer Science and Engineering Dissertations
Markov models provide a useful representation of system behavioral actions and state observations, but they do not scale well. Utilizing a hierarchy and abstraction through hierarchical hidden Markov models (HHMMs) improves scalability, but these structures are usually constructed manually using knowledge engineering techniques. We introduce a new method of automatically constructing HHMMs using the output of a sequential data-mining algorithm, Episode Discovery, and apply it to solving automation problems in the intelligent environment domain. Repetitive behavioral actions in sensor rich environments such as smart homes can be observed and categorized into periodic and frequent episodes through data-mining techniques utilizing the …

A First-Principles Study On Bulk Cuo: Electronic Structures And Native Point Defects, Dangxin Wu
A First-Principles Study On Bulk Cuo: Electronic Structures And Native Point Defects, Dangxin Wu
Physics Theses
In this thesis, we have performed a first-principles study on strongly correlated monoclinic cupric oxide (CuO) by using the LSDA+U method implemented in the PAW method. Based on the optimized structural parameters, which are in good agreement with the experimental data, the electronic structure and the magnetic properties are obtained. Our calculations show that CuO is a semiconducting material with an indirect gap of about 1.0 eV. The semiconducting nature of CuO from our calculations is consistent with many experiments, but is qualitatively different from the LSDA calculations which incorrectly predict CuO to be metallic. The indirect gap of 1.0 …

The Least-Squares Finite Element Method For Grid Deformation And Meshfree Applications, Dionisio Laeber Fleitas
The Least-Squares Finite Element Method For Grid Deformation And Meshfree Applications, Dionisio Laeber Fleitas
Mathematics Dissertations
Grid adaptation is often needed to improve the numerical solution of a Partial Differential Equation (PDE), due to, for example, shock waves and boundary layers. In moving boundary problems, the grid needs to be regenerated or adapted to fit the new domain. In this work, a LSFEM deformation method is developed for grid generation on fixed or moving domains. The LSFEM is a finite-elements method which seeks to minimize the PDE residual equation through the least-squares method. A new class of numerical methods currently being researched is the meshfree methods, in which the main goal is to numerically solve PDEs …
A Framework For Model Checking Object Oriented Security Protocol Implementations, Parikshit Singh
A Framework For Model Checking Object Oriented Security Protocol Implementations, Parikshit Singh
Computer Science and Engineering Theses
With the rapid growth of the Internet, more and more vendors see the Internet as a viable marketplace. Since the Internet is public, providing security in the presence of malicious intruders has become paramount. Security protocols have been proposed to protect systems. These protocols work by exchanging messages, many of which are encrypted. Though it may take a long time for an intruder to break the underlying encryption employed by the protocol, it is possible for the intruder to intervene in the authentication process. It may take years before a crucial loophole is discovered in a security protocol. Until then, …

Faculty Publications
Following a protocol developed by Mathivanan, Johnston, and Wayner (J. Phys. Chem. 1995, 99, 8190−8195), the radical anions of several cyclopropyl- and oxiranyl-containing carbonyl compounds were generated in an effort to measure the rate constants for their ring opening (ko) by laser flash photolysis. The results of these experiments are compared to those obtained from earlier electrochemical studies, and the combined data set is used to rationalize the kinetics of radical anion ring opening in a general context by using Savéant's theory pertaining to stepwise dissociative electron transfer (Acc. Chem. Res. 1993, 26, 455−461). Compared to cyclopropylcarbinyl → homoallyl rearrangements …

The cross section for α-particle emission in the He6+Bi209 reaction at energies near the Coulomb barrier is remarkably large. Possible reactions that may produce the observed α particles include two-neutron transfer, one-neutron transfer, and direct projectile breakup. Each of these mechanisms results in a distinctive angular correlation between the α particle and the outgoing neutron(s). A neutron-α-particle coincidence experiment was performed to study two-neutron transfer to unbound states of Bi211. It is shown that approximately 55% of the observed α-particle yield at and beyond the grazing angle is because of this process. This is more than 2.5 times the fraction …

A Solvent-Free Baeyer–Villiger Lactonization For The Undergraduate Organic Laboratory: Synthesis Of Γ-T-Butyl-Ε-Caprolactone, John J. Esteb, James N. Hohman, Diana E. Schladaminger, Anne M. Wilson
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
We present an experiment involving the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation reactionfor a first-year organic chemistry class. The Baeyer–Villiger reactionprovides an efficient method to convert ketones to esters or lactones. Most organictextbooks cover the Baeyer–Villiger reaction but owing to a lack of suitableexperiments, students seldom get to explore the reaction in the undergraduateteaching laboratory. In this experiment, m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid(m-CPBA) and4-tert-butylcyclohexanone are mixed together for 30 minutes under solvent-freeconditions to produce γ-t-butyl-ε-caprolactone in 95%yield. The solvent-free nature of this procedure greatly limits the quantityof waste generated by students and keeps costs low by removing the need for solvent.
