Computationally efficient block diagonalization for downlink multiuser MIMO-OFDM systems

Creator:: El Amrani, Samia
Abstract:: One of the key challenges in downlink multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is the mitigation of the multi-access interference when different users share the same subcarriers. In this work, the block diagonalization (BD) algorithm for inter-user interference pre-cancelation is extended to MIMO-OFDM systems. However, in...

Modeling the uncertainty of evapotranspiration estimates

Creator:: El Khoury, Laureine
Abstract:: Under today's environmental conditions and with the increasing worldwide competition for water, errors in irrigation management decisions can be costly. Therefore, providing both accurate evapotranspiration estimation on a daily basis and estimation of the magnitude of error associated with this estimate is vital for informed water management decisions that allow...

Development of mucosal vaccines for avian influenza A virus composed of recombinant Lactococcus lactis and Streptococcus gordonii

Creator:: Reese, Kaleb A.
Abstract:: Novel mucosal vaccines (LL-M2e, LL-HAe, SG-HAe) were constructed from live, non-pathogenic Lactococcus lactis or Streptococcus gordonii that express conserved regions of HA or M2 antigens from avian influenza virus (AIV) A. All three vaccines evoked antigen-specific serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses in vaccinated chickens. The addition of the adjuvant cholera...

The influence of history of science courses on students' conceptions of the nature of science

Creator:: Abd-El-Khalick, Fouad S.
Abstract:: This study assessed the influence of three history of science (HOS) courses on college students and preservice science teachers' conceptions of the nature of science (NOS), and examined whether participants who entered the investigated HOS courses with a conceptual framework consistent with current NOS views achieved more elaborate NOS understandings....

Targeted development of antivirals against influenza A and respiratory syncytial virus

Creator:: Lupfer, Christopher
Abstract:: Influenza A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) are both enveloped, negative strand RNA viruses which infect the respiratory mucosa of animals and humans. Despite decades of research and development of antivirals and vaccines, both of these viruses continue to be a major health concern throughout the world. The focus of...

Access is Not Enough: Impacts of Electrification on Women's Time Use in Guatemala and El Salvador

Creator:: Duvall, Kathryn
Abstract:: The benefits of electrification are widely discussed in energy and development literature, but little research to date has studied the impacts of household electricity access on women in particular. Women make up the majority of the world’s poor and are also disproportionately affected by energy poverty because of their social...

Oceanographic effects on the dynamics of food habits and growth condition of some groundfish species of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Lee, Yong Woo
Abstract:: Marine fish are subject to direct and indirect oceanographic variations operating at short and long time scales. In this study feeding habits and long-term growth condition of several groundfish species of the Pacific Northwest are examined to understand the relationship between variations in the fish's biological and life history components...

Accurate and efficient simulation of synchronous digital switching noise in system on a chip

Creator:: Habal, Husni
Abstract:: A new method is presented to compress switching information in large digital circuits. This is combined with an efficient approach of generating the noise signatures of cells in a digital library that results in an accurate and efficient approach for estimating the noise generated in digital circuits. This method provides...

Developmental neurobehavioral toxicity of bisphenol A in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Creator:: Saili, Katerine Schletz
Abstract:: Billions of pounds of bisphenol A (BPA) are produced annually around the globe for the manufacture of numerous consumer products, including polycarbonate food and water containers, the protective resin linings of food cans, thermal printing paper, and dental fillings. BPA exposure during nervous system development has been associated with learning...

Retinol intake, bone mineral density and falls in elderly women

Creator:: Gramer, Carrie M.
Abstract:: This study was designed to investigate the relationship between retinol intake, bone mineral density, and falls in 101 elderly women aged 72 to 90 years (78.6 yrs. ± 4.3 yrs.). Bone mineral density (BMD) (g/cm²) of the left hip, anterior-posterior lumbar spine (L3), and lateral spine (L3) was measured using...
