Passive Radar Clutter Modeling and Emitter Selection for Ground Moving Target Indication
(2017-08-01)
Moving target detection with a passive radar system relies on many competing and coupled variables. When simulating a passive bistatic radar (PBR) system for ground moving target indication (GMTI) a three-dimensional model ...
Multiscale Modeling of Nanoparticles Transport, Aggregation, and In Situ Gelation in Porous Media
(2017)
Nanoparticle applications in the petroleum industry have grown recently especially in EOR and well stimulation. Transport of nanoparticles in porous media involves different interaction mechanisms either between nanoparticles ...
Phosphatidylserine Targeted Biotechnology Agents for Cancer
(2017-08-16)
Cancer is a highly mutating disease that quickly develops resistance to chemotherapies and has a high rate of relapse. If detected early, the survival rate is greater than 90% for most cancers; however if diagnosed during ...
Essays in Market Microstructure and Information Networks
(2017-05-12)
This dissertation is a collection of three essays which study the impact of make-take fees on market efficiency, the relevance of three dimensions of liquidity on bond yields, and the value of information flow through the ...
Analysis of the functional conservation of genes in a plant single cell type: the root hair cell
(2017-12)
The evolution of plant species is tightly associated with major changes in their genome such as their allopolyploidy and autopolyploidy. These paleopolyploid events and recent genome duplications have contributed to the ...
Architecting Fail-Safe Supply Chains / Networks
(2017-05-12)
Disruptions are large-scale stochastic events that rarely happen but have a major effect on supply networks’ topology. Some examples include: air traffic being suspended due to weather or terrorism, labor unions strike, ...
Representations of the marked Brauer algebra
(2017-05-12)
The marked Brauer algebra is a generalization of the diagrammatic Brauer algebra which diagrammatizes Moon's centralizer algebra for the type \mathfrak{p} Lie superalgebra. We prove that the marked Brauer algebra is a ...

(2017-05)
Korean women composers’ musical achievements have increased markedly since the 1980s. They have won many significant international competitions as their music is being commissioned and performed by prominent performance ...
Mid-wavelength and long-wavelength interband cascade infrared photodetectors
(2017-10-30)
Interband cascade (IC) devices are a family of infrared optoelectronic devices that includes interband cascade lasers (ICLs), interband cascade infrared photodetectors (ICIPs) and interband cascade infrared thermophotovoltaics ...
