  • Students thought processes while engaged in computer programming

    Creator:
    Ahmed, Aqeel M.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the thought processes of secondary level novice programmers engaged in computer programming for the purpose of generating hypotheses for consideration in future research on the relationship between computer programming and problem solving. A high school BASIC programming course with 14 students...

  • On shortest disjoint paths and Hamiltonian cycles in some interconnection networks

    Creator:
    Hussain, Zaid
    Abstract:
    Parallel processors are classified into two classes: shared-memory multiprocessors and distributed- memory multiprocessors. In the shared-memory system, processors communicate through a common memory unit. However, in the distributed multiprocessor system, each processor has its own memory unit and the communications among the processors are performed through an interconnection network. Thus,...

  • Improved design techniques for analog and mixed circuits

    Creator:
    Nishida, Yoshio
    Abstract:
    Although the digital revolution can realize many of past analog components in the digital forms, our world is surrounded with analog signals such as voice, temperature, etc. The bridge between these two worlds is one of key performance limitations among overall systems and it includes analog filters and data converters....

  • Quasi-TEM and full wave numerical methods for the characterization on microstrip discontinuities

    Creator:
    Hill, Achim
    Abstract:
    Static and dynamic numerical techniques which are suited for the analysis and simulation of various planar microstrip components encountered in hybrid and monolithic microwave integrated circuits are presented. The static analysis makes use of an excess source formulation in conjunction with an efficient mathematical treatment to extract the discontinuity parameter...

  • A study of model-based average reward reinforcement learning

    Creator:
    Ok, DoKyeong
    Abstract:
    Reinforcement Learning (RL) is the study of learning agents that improve their performance from rewards and punishments. Most reinforcement learning methods optimize the discounted total reward received by an agent, while, in many domains, the natural criterion is to optimize the average reward per time step. In this thesis, we...

  • Topology independent transmission scheduling algorithms in mobile ad hoc networks

    Creator:
    Youn, Jong-Hoon
    Abstract:
    Due to the rapid growth of wireless technology, there has been a growing interest in the capabilities of ad hoc networks connecting mobile phones, PDAs and laptop computers. The distributed and self-configurable capabilities of ad hoc networks make them very attractive for some applications such as tactical communication for military,...

  • Some contributions to asymmetric error control codes

    Creator:
    Elmougy, Samir
    Abstract:
    In some practical systems, most of the errors are of 1 → 0 type and 0 → 1 errors occur very rarely. In this thesis, first, the capacity of the asymmetric channel is derived. The capacity of the binary symmetric channel (BSC) and the Z-channel can be derived from this...

  • Active learning with committees : an approach to efficient learning in text categorization using linear threshold algorithms

    Creator:
    Liere, Ray
    Abstract:
    We developed and investigated machine learning methods that require minimal preprocessing of the input data, use few training examples, run fast, and still obtain high levels of accuracy. Most approaches to designing machine learning programs are based on the supervised learning paradigm – training examples are chosen randomly and given...

  • Analysis and modeling of GaAs MESFET's for linear integrated circuit design

    Creator:
    Lee, Mankoo
    Abstract:
    A complete Gallium Arsenide Metal Semiconconductor Field Effect Transistor (GaAs MESFET) model including deep-level trap effects has been developed, which is far more accurate than previous equivalent circuit models, for high-speed applications in linear integrated circuit design. A new self-backgating GaAs MESFET model, which can simulate low frequency anomalies, is...
