PHYSICAL TOPOLOGY DESIGN AND ROUTING ALGORITHMS FOR DEGREE-CONSTRAINED FSO MESH NETWORKS
(2008)
Free-space optical (FSO) mesh networks are emerging as broadband communication networks because of their high bandwidth (up to Gbps), low cost, and easy installation. However, there are two existing problems in the deployment ...
Online closed-loop tACS-fMRI for brain modulation
(2022-07-20)
Recent studies suggest that transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) can be performed during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The novel approach of using concurrent tES-fMRI to modulate and measure targeted ...
ADAPTIVE CHANNEL AND SOURCE CODING USING APPROXIMATE INFERENCE
(2011)
Channel coding and source coding are two important problems in communications. Although both channel coding and source coding (especially, the distributed source coding (DSC)) can achieve their ultimate performance by ...
Molecular Beam Epitaxy of InAs, GaSb, AlSb Structures for Interband Cascade Devices
(2016-08)
The interband cascade (IC) family of devices has been extended beyond mid-infrared lasers to include photovoltaic (PV) and photodetector (PD) devices. These devices utilize the transition between conduction and valence ...
Control and Optimization of Variable-Speed Wind Turbines and Large-Scale Wind Farms
(2012)
Motivated by the vast potential of wind power as a renewable energy source and the reliability issues arising from its integration into a power system, this dissertation designs and analyzes a novel, diverse collection of ...
Mobility management in multi-RAT multiI-band heterogeneous networks
(2021-05-11)
Support for user mobility is the raison d'etre of mobile cellular networks. However, mounting pressure for more capacity is leading to adaption of multi-band multi-RAT ultra-dense network design, particularly with the ...
A free-space optical communications link to an unmanned aerial vehicle.
(2005)
Free-space optics (FSO) is an optical communications technology in which information is transmitted through the atmosphere on modulated optical beams. At the time of the development of FSO, it was envisioned to be a possible ...
DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A HIGH ENERGY PHASE CONTRAST X-RAY IMAGING SYSTEM PROTOTYPE
(2011)
The field of mammography receives constant research attention focused on improving the balance between the benefits of cancer screening and the risks of harmful radiation to the patient. As a result, numerous advancements ...
Neuroimaging features of normal aging in healthy adults
(2020-07-30)
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), have an enormous impact on the quality of life in millions of aging adults and bring a daunting financial burden to the society. Towards understanding the ...
Electric Circuit Foundation for Structural Analysis and Applications in Large-Scale Power Networks
(2019-05-10)
The modern power grid is increasing in size and with that becoming more complex. The recent evolution of grids has made an impact on power system planning studies and analyses. On the other hand, the developments in the ...
