  • A channelized digital receiver design for UWB sytems in a multipath indoor environment

    Creator:
    Chang, Yuhao
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a channelized digital receiver design for UWB sytems in a multipath indoor environment. The UWB technology has been used for commercial and military purposes due to a number of advantages such as low-power consumption, noise-like and carrier free. The energy of UWB signal is spread over a...

  • A remotely operated, autonomous wave energy converter system

    Creator:
    Lewis, Timothy M.
    Abstract:
    The potential for electric energy generation from ocean waves is substantial and much research is being conducted on the conversion process as a renewable, grid-connected, power source. Some of the same attributes that make wave energy harvesting attractive as a grid-connected source also make it attractive as a remote, or...

  • Dynamic and Dual Streaming Methods for H.264 Video and Parallel Performance Modeling

    Creator:
    Johnson, Taylor N.
    Abstract:
    Traditional approaches to streaming H.264 video over a network typically rely on a single method of transport (i.e., reliable or unreliable) and/or use static values for parameters that can have a significant negative impact on the perceptual quality of the received video. This dissertation presents a dynamic method for wireless...

  • A genetic algorithm for the vehicle routing problem with heterogeneous vehicles from multiple depots, allowing multiple visits

    Creator:
    Lim, Hyunpae
    Abstract:
    In the thesis, an application of a genetic algorithm (GA) is considered to solve the vehicle routing problem (VRP) which involves heterogeneous vehicles to serve known customer demands from multiple depots achieving the minimum delivery cost, where each customer must be satisfied by one or more visit(s), and each vehicle...

  • Applied color processing

    Creator:
    Zhang, Heng
    Abstract:
    The quality of a digital image pipeline relies greatly on its color reproduction which should at a minimum handle the color constancy, and the final judgment of the excellence of the pipeline is made through subjective observations by humans. This dissertation addresses a few topics surrounding the color processing of...

  • Power Efficient Architectures for Medium-high Resolution Analog-to-Digital Converters

    Creator:
    Sadollahi, Mahmoud
    Abstract:
    Analog-to-digital converters are essential components to the portable devices that we are using today. Wireless sensors, body implanted devices, communication devices and so forth require low power ADCs. Therefore achieving higher resolution and bandwidth with lower power consumption is targeted in ADCs design. In this work power efficient ADCs for...

  • Bioeconomic Simulation Modeling of Fisheries : Three Essays

    Creator:
    Cusack, Christopher Inju
    Abstract:
    Researchers rely on bioeconomic models to guide research and generate fishery management advice for commercial fisheries. Due partly to a paradigm shift towards ecosystem based fishery management, increasing complexity in the characteristics of the problems has meant that bioeconomic simulation models are becoming more prevalent in the fisheries literature. However...

  • On edge disjoint Hamiltonian cycles in torus and Gaussian networks

    Creator:
    Alazemi, Fawaz M.
    Abstract:
    Many algorithms in parallel systems can be easily solved if we can generate a Hamiltonian cycle on the underly network. Finding Hamiltonian cycle is a well known NP-complete problem. For specific instances of regular graphs, such as Torus and Gaussian network, one can easily find Hamiltonian cycles. In this thesis,...

  • Design techniques for wideband low-power Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Wang, Yan
    Abstract:
    Delta-Sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are traditionally used in high quality audio systems, instrumentation and measurement (I&M) and biomedical devices. With the continued downscaling of CMOS technology, they are becoming popular in wideband applications such as wireless and wired communication systems,high-definition television and radar systems. There are two general realizations...

  • Quantum and Classical Simulation of Electronic Transport at the Nanoscale

    Creator:
    Gruss, Daniel S.
    Abstract:
    Time-dependent electronic transport is increasingly important to the state-of-the-art device design and fabrication. The development of nanoscale sensing, the harnessing and control of structural fluctuations, and the advancement of next-generation materials all require a treatment of quantum dynamics beyond the level of traditional methods and a more nuanced approach to...
