Theoretical analysis of and bias correction for planar and cylindrical polarimetric phased array weather Radar
(2014-08-15)
Planar or Cylindrical Phased Arrays are two candidate antennas for the future polarimetric weather radar. These two candidate antennas have distinctly different attributes when used to make quantitative measurements of the ...
QUANTUM SECURE COMMUNICATION USING POLARIZATION HOPPING MULTI-STAGE PROTOCOLS
(2016)
This dissertation presents a study of the security and performance of a quantum communication system using multi-stage multi-photon tolerant protocols. Multi-stage protocols are a generalization of the three-stage protocol ...
EMPIRICAL TRANSITION PROBABILITY INDEXING GENOME SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT BASED ON CUDA
(2016-05)
After Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) was discovered, finding the similarities in proteins became a fundamental procedure. In recent years, there has been a rapid development in alignment technologies. Alignment is the basic ...
EEG OSCILLATORY ACTIVITIES FROM HUMAN MOTOR BRAIN
(2015-12)
Motor skills are essential in people’s daily life in exploring and interacting with
the ambient environment. Impairments to motor functions affect the acquisition of
motor skills, which not only reduce the quality of ...
DISTRIBUTED ESTIMATION OF CENTRALITY MEASURES IN COMPLEX NETWORKS
(2016-12-16)
Knowing how important a node or an edge is, within a network, can be very valuable, for instance, in identifying those who are susceptible to malicious attacks, those who are bottlenecks to network performances, and those ...
Digital Predistortion of Pseudo-Orthogonal Wideband Waveforms for Dual-Polarimetric Phased Array Radars
(2016-05)
Many new and interesting radar operational modes and techniques are being explored to maximize the efficiency and utility of next-generation radar systems while complying with increasingly stringent operational and budgeting ...
DIAMOND AND PARYLENE COMPOSITE BONDING: A POWERFUL METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC THIN FILM DEVICE FABRICATION
(2016-05-13)
A new and powerful method for electronic device fabrication is presented. A diamond and parylene composite thin film layer bonding process is described. Two sizes of diamond particles, nominally 0~0.5µm and 0~2µm were used ...
Adaptive Localized Active Route Maintenance Mechanism to Improve Performance of VoIP over Ad Hoc Networks
(2011-02)
An important characteristic of a mobile ad hoc network routing protocol is connectivity maintenance. The protocol’s ability to maintain routes and react to topology changes due to link failures affects the delay, packet ...
Analysis of Backbone Technique: a Hilbert Transform and Discrete Hilbert Transform-based Technique
(2015-12)
This dissertation focuses on understanding and improving the “backbone” technique, a Hilbert-transform based vibration signal processing technique developed by Dr. Michael Feldman started in 1994. The concept of backbone ...
Adaptive Distributed Source Coding Based on Bayesian Inference
(2015-08-14)
Distributed Source Coding (DSC) is an important topic for both in information theory and communication. DSC utilizes the correlations among the sources to compress data, and it has the advantages of being simple and easy ...
