  • Identification of stochastic systems with random parameters with particular reference to the recirculating lymphocytes in the immune system

    Creator:
    Farooqi, Zarreen H. H.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is composed of four parts: i) system description, ii) model development, iii) parameter estimation, and iv) validation. The natural system used here is an aspect of the immune system, namely, the distribution of recirculating lymphocytes in various organs throughout the body. This distribution gains importance because: i) it...

  • Stochastic properties of morphological filters

    Creator:
    Zhu, Feihong
    Abstract:
    Most of the existing research on mathematical morphology is restricted to the deterministic case. This thesis addresses the void in the results on the stochastic properties of morphological filters. The primary results include analysis of the stochastic properties of morphological operations, such as dilation, erosion, closing and opening. Two unbiased...

  • Advancing Power Grid Computing: Analysis and Synthesis of Wide-Area Data, Distributed Real-Time Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulations, and Machine Learning for Event Detection

    Creator:
    Hagan, Travis
    Abstract:
    Global Positioning Systems have allowed for precise timing of power system measurements over wide areas. This newly found capability has the potential to provide much greater insight into the operation of the power system and its response to contingencies, but few analytical techniques currently exist that provide enough robustness and...

  • Hot electron transport and relaxation in quantum wells and superlattices

    Creator:
    Lary, Jenifer Edith
    Abstract:
    Electron transport and relaxation may be substantially different in low-dimensional systems compared to that observed in bulk material. In the present work, Monte Carlo models are used for the solution to the Boltzmann transport equation, with scattering rates calculated quantum mechanically for superlattice and quantum wells. Carrier relaxation following optical...

  • Analysis and modeling of electrically long MESFETS and coupled schottky lines

    Creator:
    Mohammed, Ahmed Sarhan
    Abstract:
    The properties of linear active coupled lines consisting of electrically long GaAs MESFET structures are investigated for possible applications as traveling-wave broad-band amplifiers. In addition, the nonlinear coupled Schottky lines are studied for applications as voltage tunable circuit elements. The analysis of the general active asymmetric coupled transmission lines in...

  • Digital phase-locked loops for multi-GHz clock generation

    Creator:
    Kratyuk, Volodymyr
    Abstract:
    A digital implementation of a PLL has several advantages compared to its analog counterpart. These include easy scalability with process shrink, elimination of the noise susceptible analog control for a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and the inherent noise immunity of digital circuits. Several recent digital PLL (DPLL) implementations have achieved...

  • 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...

    Creator:
    Squire, Kenneth James
    Abstract:
    This dissertation focuses on the application of diatom frustules, the biosilica shell of an algae possessing physical and photonic properties capable of enhancing optical signals, for the enhancement of optical sensing. In this work, we incorporate diatom frustules into biosensors for signal enhancement and improved target molecule detection. The potential...

  • The use of electromagnetic Walsh waves in radar

    Creator:
    Schaffer, Alvin
    Abstract:
    The question of the suitability of Walsh functions or similar bi-valued functions used as a radar electromagnetic carrier waveform is considered. Walsh functions are described and effective sinusoidal steady state transfer functions are defined for transmission elements, antenna systems, and propagation media. The argument is made that the unit impulse...
