Long bridges tend to develop large deformations under the action of intense dynamical loads such as wind or earthquakes. Unless these deformations are controlled in some fashion, the structure might suffer damage or e ...

North Pacific albacore (Thunnus alalunga) is a highly migratory and commercially valuable species of tuna. All stock assessments and management decisions for North Pacific albacore are presently based on the assumption ...

The widespread use of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) and the desire for such products from different vendors to operate together has generated a movement towards standardization. Over the last decade, several organi ...

This dissertation presents the continued study of a non-iterative decision feedback (DF) receiver/decoder design and its application to cellular communications or wireless local loop systems based on the IS-95(-A) st ...

Multiple-input multiple-output wireless systems promise significant capacity gain and/or diversity gain over single antenna systems. If channel state information (CSI) is available at both the transmitter and the recei ...

This document investigates, justifies, designs, and simulates the application of a fuzzy logic controller/optimizer in a sawmill bucking system application that is the first production station where stems coming from t ...

An improved robot manipulator decentralized non-linear adaptive controller that performs well in the presence of disturbances with unknown parameters and non-linearities is presented in this work. The proposed decentr ...

A mathematical model of Limiting Dilution Analysis for two limiting parameters is presented and investigated. Limiting Dilution Analysis is a microbiological cell assay developed for immunological application. In the g ...

A new algorithm is proposed which provides a sub-optimum near-far resistant pattern for correlation with a known signal in a spread-spectrum multiple access environment with additive white gaussian noise (AWGN). Only t ...
