MULTI-PHOTON TOLERANT QUANTUM KEY DISTRIBUTION PROTOCOLS FOR SECURED GLOBAL COMMUNICATION
(2017-07)
This dissertation investigates the potential of multi-photon tolerant protocols for satellite-aided global quantum key distribution (QKD). Recent investigations like braided single-stage protocol and the implementation of ...
SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS FOR INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS AND BIOLOGICAL TISSUE: APPLICATIONS TO HIGH FIELD HUMAN MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING AND TISSUE-IMPLANTED DEVICES
(2010)
The principal advantage of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at high field is the increase in signal to noise ratio (SNR), however, high field imaging also leads to an increased Larmor (operating) frequency, thus the ...
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 ...
Interband Cascade Structures for Infrared Photodetectors and Thermophotovoltaic Devices
(2016-12-16)
Interband cascade (IC) devices are a family of quantum engineered heterostructures that include: IC lasers (ICLs), IC infrared photodetectors (ICIPs) and IC thermophotovoltaic (ICTPV) devices. In these structures, the ...
Exploiting Heterogeneous Multicore Processors Through Fine-Grained Scheduling and Low-Overhead Thread Migration
(2012)
Heterogeneous (also known as asymmetric) multicore processors (HMPs) offer significant advantages over homogeneous multicores in terms of both power and performance. Power-efficient cores can be paired with higher-performance ...
Multiple Real-Constant Multiplication for Computationally Efficient Implementation of Digital Transforms
(2012)
The need to multiply signals by vectors (or matrices) of constants is fundamental and frequently arises in many areas of electrical and computer engineering.
GROWTH OF WIDE BANDGAP SEMICONDUCTORS USING PULSED ELECTRON BEAM DEPOSITION (PED) PROCESS
(2015)
Wide bandgap materials hold a great potential in solid state lighting, power electronics, and radio frequency (RF) device applications. The cumulative market for all these applications is forecasted to be approximately $75 ...
A Building Block Apporach to Port Security
(2011)
With the ever present threat to commerce, both politically and economically, technological innovations provide a means to secure the transportation infrastructure that will allow efficient and uninterrupted freight-flow ...
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 ...
