Bouquet: a Satellite Constellation Visualization Program for Walkers and Lattice Flower Constellations
(2011-10-21)
The development of the Flower Constellation theory offers an expanded framework to utilize constellations of satellites for tangible interests. To realize the full potential of this theory, the beta version of Bouquet was ...
SAT-based Verification for Analog and Mixed-signal Circuits
(2012-07-16)
The wide application of analog and mixed-signal (AMS) designs makes the verification of AMS circuits an important task. However, verification of AMS circuits remains as a significant challenge even though verification ...
Stochastic Modeling and Analysis of Plant Microtubule System Characteristics
(2012-07-16)
In this dissertation, we consider a complex biological system known as cortical microtubule (CMT) system, where stochastic dynamics of the components (i.e., the CMTs) are defined in both space and time. CMTs have an inherent ...
Physical Simulation of an Embedded Surface Mesh Involving Deformation and Fracture
(2012-07-16)
Simulating virtual objects which can deform or break apart within their environments is now common in state-of-the-art virtual simulations such as video games or surgery simulations. Real-time performance requires a physical ...
Examining the Economic Implications and Considerations for Continued Involvement in the Conservation Reserve Program in Texas
(2012-10-19)
The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) has become increasingly important in Texas due to the high level of program participation, particularly in the high plains of Texas. There is also a seemingly large amount of CRP ...
Simulation Study to Investigate the Effect of Natural Fractures on the Performance of Surfactant-Polymer Flood in Carbonate Reservoirs
(2011-10-21)
This thesis presents a comprehensive simulation study on the impact of natural
fractures on the performance of surfactant polymer flood in a field scale surfactantpolymer
flood. The simulation model utilized for the study ...
Implementing Feedback Control on a Novel Proximity Operations Simulation Platform
(2012-07-16)
Recently, The Land, Air and Space Robotics (LASR) Laboratory has demonstrated a state-of-the-art proximity operations test bed that will revolutionize the concept of portable space systems simulation. The Holonomic ...
Reservoir Simulation Used to Plan Diatomite Developement in Mountainous Region
(2012-10-19)
In Santa Barbara County, Santa Maria Pacific (an exploration and production company) is expanding their cyclic steam project in a diatomite reservoir. The hilly or mountainous topography and cut and fill restrictions have ...
