NON-CONTACT SENSOR FOR THE REAL-TIME MEASUREMENT OF STIFFNESS OF ASPHALT PAVEMENTS DURING COMPACTION
(2011)
The development of a non-contact sensor capable of determining the quality of asphalt pavements during their construction is addressed in this dissertation. Adequate compaction of asphalt pavement during its construction ...
IMAGE AND VIDEO ENHANCEMENT USING SPARSE CODING, BELIEF PROPAGATION AND MATRIX COMPLETION
(2014-12-01)
Super resolution as an exciting application in image processing was studied widely
in the literature. This dissertation presents new approaches to video super resolution,
based on sparse coding and belief propagation. ...
Investigation of radar returns from lightning discharges.
(1981)
The problem of lightning echo interpretation is investigated through the analysis of time and range variations of echoes received by S-, L-, and VHF-band radars. It is suggested that the rise time of the lightning echo ...
An Investigation and Solution to Spatial Interferers Before RF Front End for Phased Arrays
(2019-05-10)
Fully digital arrays offer significant advantages in terms of flexibility and performance, however they suffer from dynamic range issues when used in the presence of in-band interferers. Higher dynamic range components may ...
High-performance InAs-based interband cascade lasers
(2016-05)
Currently, there are only two types of mid-infrared lasers that are capable of continuous-wave (CW) operation above room temperature: quantum cascade (QC) lasers and interband cascade (IC) lasers. Both of them share the ...
DEVELOPING NOVEL COMPUTER-AIDED DETECTION AND DIAGNOSIS SYSTEMS OF MEDICAL IMAGES
(2019-12-13)
Reading medical images to detect and diagnose diseases is often difficult and has large inter-reader variability. To address this issue, developing computer-aided detection and diagnosis (CAD) schemes or systems of medical ...
TOWARD ENHANCED WIRELESS COEXISTENCE IN THE 2.4GHZ ISM BAND VIA TEMPORAL CHARACTERIZATION AND EMPIRICAL MODELING OF 802.11B/G/N NETWORKS A DISSERTATION
(2016)
This dissertation presents an extensive experimental characterization and empirical modelling of 802.11 temporal behavior. A detailed characterization of 802.11b/g/n homogeneous and heterogeneous network traffic patterns ...
Biometric Classification with Factor Analysis
(2010)
This research presents a study on biometrics classification using Factor Analysis (FA). As a multivariate statistical tool, factor analysis is useful for understanding the underlying structure in a dataset. Moreover, in ...
REVEALING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT ELECTRICITY MARKET UNDERLYING POWER SYSTEM USING POWER SYSTEM PRINCIPLES AND PUBLISHED MARKET RESULTS
(2014)
In this dissertation we provide a novel estimation framework designed and structured on duality theory for estimation of some key parameters in electricity markets. Specifically, the framework uses financial transmission ...
DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A PHASED ARRAY ANTENNA FOR MULTI-MISSION APPLICATIONS
(2018)
Multifunction Phased Array Radar (MPAR) was defined to investigate the
feasibility of integrating weather observation and air surveillance radars into
a single network. Weather radars require dual polarization capability ...
