On the Potential of Adaptive Beamforming for Phased-Array Weather Radar
(2017-05-12)
As the Weather Surveillance Radar 1988 Doppler network reaches the end of its expected life, a network of multifunction phased-array radars (MPAR) supporting both aircraft and weather surveillance missions has been proposed. ...
IV-VI MATERIALS & DEVICES FOR THERMOPHOTOVOLTAIC (TPV) POWER GENERATION
(2016-12-16)
IV-VI semiconductors, with direct gap conduction and valence band extrema at the L-point in k-space, are characterized by four-fold L-valley degeneracy. Prior work [1] has shown that this degeneracy can be removed with ...
POWER CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT OF THE GRID CONTAINING LARGE-SCALE WIND POWER SYSTEMS
(2013)
The ever increasing demand for electricity has driven many countries toward the installation of new generation facilities. However, concerns such as environmental pollution and global warming issues, clean energy sources, ...
FULLY AUTONOMOUS SELF-POWERED INTELLIGENT WIRELESS SENSOR FOR REAL-TIME TRAFFIC SURVEILLANCE IN SMART CITIES
(2016-12-18)
Reliable, real-time traffic surveillance is an integral and crucial function of the 21st century intelligent transportation systems (ITS) network. This technology facilitates instantaneous decision-making, improves roadway ...
THE APPLICATION OF SPECTRAL ANALYSIS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE METHODS TO WEATHER RADAR
(2010)
Power spectral density (PSD) of reflectivity and polarimetric variables have the potential to provide the linkage between the dynamics and the microphysical properties of scatterers within the radar resolution volume. The ...
Unified security frameworks for integrated WiMAX and optical broadband access networks
(2011)
This dissertation proposes the integration of optical and Mobile Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) broadband access networks in order to combine the strengths of optical and wireless technologies and ...
A NEW RESEARCH METHOD TO EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF WET RADOMES ON DUAL-POLARIZED WEATHER RADARS AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
(2018-12-14)
The purpose of this dissertation is to provide a detailed study of the effect of water accumulated on wet radomes. To accomplish this goal, a novel method to evaluate the impact of wet radomes on dual-polarized weather ...
EEG/MEG Sparse Source Imaging and Its Application in Epilepsy
(2013-12-13)
This dissertation is a summary of my Ph.D. work on the development of sparse source imaging technologies based on electroencephalography (EEG) and magneto-encephalography (MEG) and their application to noninvasively ...
Target Tracking Using Wireless Sensor Networks
(2012)
Tracking of targets in remote inaccessible areas is an important application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The use of wired networks for detecting and tracking of intruders is not feasible in hard-to-reach areas. An ...
MEDICAL SIGNALS ALIGNMENT AND PRIVACY PROTECTION USING BELIEF PROPAGATION AND COMPRESSED SENSING
(2014-11-10)
The advance in human genome sequencing technology has significantly reduced the
cost of data generation and overwhelms the computing capability of sequence analysis.
Efficiency, efficacy and scalability remain challenging ...
