It is necessary to encode data when transmitting over a noisy channel in order for
errors to be detected and corrected. List decoding algorithms provide all code words
within a specified distance of a received word in ...
In diversity combining automatic repeat request (ARQ), erroneous packets are combined
together forming a single, more reliable, packet. In this thesis, we give a diversity
combining scheme for the m-ary unidirectional ...
Tree patterns are natural candidates for representing rules and hypotheses in many tasks such as information extraction and symbolic mathematics. A tree pattern is a tree with labeled nodes where some of the leaves may b ...
An n-bit Gray code is an ordered set of all 2n binary strings of length n. The
special property of this listing is that Hamming distance between consecutive vectors
is exactly 1. If the last and first codeword also hav ...
A remote Digital Signal Processing (DSP) lab for the Internet is developed to give students the opportunity to work together online with a remotely located Digital Signal Processor (DSP). Students in different locations ...
As part of a research program to study the transitional region of N=88
isotones, ¹⁵²Tb was produced by the reaction ¹⁵¹Eu(α,3n)¹⁵²Tb in the 88" cyclotron
located at LBNL. Gamma-ray spectroscopy of the radiation emitted ...
A relatively new model of error control is the limited magnitude error over high radix channels. In this error model, the error magnitude does not exceed a certain limit known beforehand. In this dissertation, we study s ...
The study of differentiation of integrals has led to the study of maximal functions. In the development of harmonic analysis, the most powerful result connected with Lebesgue's theorem was that of the Hardy-Littlewood Ma ...
The behavior and application of organic semiconductor materials depend strongly on their molecular structure, and molecular interactions. Several studies of intermolecular interactions in functionalized polyacene materia ...
One of the most powerful and life-changing events that can occur in the life of a family is
the death of a child. Researchers who have studied death and bereavement suggest that a
child's death has a dramatic impact on ...
Interconnection networks play important roles in designing high performance computers. Recently two new classes of interconnection networks based on the concept of Gaussian and Eisenstein-Jacobi integers were introduced. ...
The purpose of this study is to develop experimental techniques to
characterize typical interconnect discontinuities, including bends, steps, T
junctions, vias and pads, which are the most commonly encountered
interco ...
We identify all translation covers among triangular billiards surfaces. Our main tools are the J-invariant of Kenyon and Smillie and a property of triangular billiards surfaces, which we call fingerprint type, that is in ...
