  • PAPR Reduction of Optical OFDM Systems with Exponential Companding Transform and Zero Padding

    Creator:
    Chen, Deyan
    Abstract:
    Optical wireless communication (OWC) is an alternative to radio frequency (RF)communication with a signi cantly larger and unregulated spectrum. In OWC systems, optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (O-OFDM) with intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) is commonly used. There are two common signal structures in most OWC systems based on...

  • Comparison of HEU and LEU neutron spectra in irradiation facilities at the Oregon State TRIGA® reactor

    Creator:
    Schickler, Robert
    Abstract:
    In 2008, the Oregon State TRIGA® Reactor (OSTR) was converted from highly-enriched uranium (HEU) fuel lifetime improvement plan (FLIP) fuel to low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel. This effort was driven and supported by the Department of Energy's (DoE's) Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors (RERTR) program. The basis behind the...

  • Secrecy of massive MIMO systems under antenna failure

    Creator:
    Assiri, Mohammad
    Abstract:
    As the fifth generation of mobile communication systems (5G) is being deployed, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) serves as one of its enabling technologies where reliable and ultra low latency communications are achieved while being power and spectrum efficient. This thesis studies the security aspect of massive MIMO system from the...

  • Routerless Network-on-chip

    Creator:
    Alazemi, Fawaz
    Abstract:
    Traditional bus-based interconnects are simple and easy to implement, but the scalability is greatly limited. While router-based networks-on-chip (NoCs) offer superior scalability, they also incur significant power and area overhead due to complex router structures. In this thesis, a new class of on-chip networks, referred to as Routerless (RL) NoCs,...

  • Structure-property relationships in oxides containing tellurium

    Creator:
    Siritanon, Theeranun
    Abstract:
    Oxides of post-transition metals often show unique structures and properties due to the presence of lone pair electrons and the diffused s orbitals. The present work focuses on synthesis and characterizations of oxides containing Te, a heavy post transition metal. New series of pyrochlore oxides of the formula Cs(M,Te)₂O₆ (M...

  • Mental Models of Mere Mortals with Explanations of Reinforcement Learning

    Creator:
    Anderson, Andrew A.
    Abstract:
    How should reinforcement learning (RL) agents explain themselves to humans not trained in AI? To gain insights into this question, we conducted a 124 participant, four-treatment experiment to compare participants’ mental models of an RL agent in the context of a simple Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game. The four treatments isolated...

  • An experimental study on tensile properties of cellulose nanocrystal reinforced epoxy nanocomposite material

    Creator:
    Zeng, Jin
    Abstract:
    Epoxy resin is a thermosetting resin that is commonly used as composite matrix. Epoxy composite materials are well utilized in industries, such as aerospace, due to their good mechanical properties. Nano-scale filler reinforced polymer composite materials have been intensively researched in recent decades. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNXLs) are a type of...

    Creator:
    Hu, Hang
    Abstract:
    Ring Amplifier serves as a great candidate both for precision amplification and fast integration in the discrete time system. It can be utilized in high-performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). In high-speed ADC utilizing pipelined architectures with residue amplification, Successive-Approximation Register (SAR) ADCs as the sub-ADC and power efficient Ring Amplifier based...

  • Examining Wave Attenuation Rates and Subsurface Pore Pressures Across Three Marsh Restoration Sill Structures on a Sandy Bed

    Creator:
    Converse, Jordan D.
    Abstract:
    With rising sea levels and more frequent exposure to extreme storms, coastlines worldwide are vulnerable to increased erosion and loss of natural marsh lands. In an effort to lessen these impacts, there is a growing practice of adapting hard or “gray” coastline protection techniques to more nature-based features that promote...

    Creator:
    Trenkel-Amoroso, Jan
    Abstract:
    This study looks at the properties of glycerol/citric acid as they are affected by the length and temperature of the bake used to facilitate the condensation reaction that creates the polymer. In particular, the length of time required for the polymer to break down in the presence of water, both...
