Design of low-density parity-check codes for magnetic recording channels.
(2002)
A technique for designing low-density parity-check (LDPC) error correcting codes for use with the partial-response channels commonly used in magnetic recording is presented. This technique combines the well-known density ...
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 ...
Fuzzy correlation and regression analysis.
(2005)
The first half of the dissertation focuses on the motivation and concept of fuzzy correlation. Fuzzy data will be formulated in a mathematical way, and then we will build models of two types of fuzzy correlations, their ...
Novel phenomena in confined electronic systems.
(2007)
Modern experimental methods have made it possible for physicists to investigate matter in extreme conditions. Two of the most extreme conditions are low temperature and low dimensionality. Fabricated semiconductor or metal ...
Generation asset planning under uncertainty.
(2005)
With the introduction of competition in the electric power industry, generation asset planning must change. In this changed environment, energy companies must be able to capture the extrinsic value of their asset operations ...
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 ...
