MODELING AND CONTROL OF MICROGRID COMPONENTS
(2018-12-14)
Due to the increase in the integration of renewable energy resources into electrical power systems, there are various challenges that modern power systems are facing.
A lot of issues in this subject are discussed under ...
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 ...
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 ...
Extended Observation Particle Filter with SVD Template Generation Implemented for GPU
(2018-12)
This work presents a novel template updating strategy based on singular value decomposition (SVD) together with an expansion and extension of previous work combining observations across temporally adjacent frames to implement ...
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 ...
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 ...
Video CODEC with adaptive frame rate control for intelligent transportation system applications
(2014-05)
Video cameras are one of the important types of devices in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The camera images are practical, widely deployable and beneficial for traffic management and congestion control. The ...
