  • Initial velocity analyses of milling effects on rates of enzyme-catalyzed saccharification of native wheat straw

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Quynh M.
    Abstract:
    There is considerable interest in developing environmentally friendly processes for the economical conversion of biomass plant material to biofuels, bioproducts and biomaterials. One approach to such a conversion process is to make use of enzymes for the conversion of plant polysaccharides to simple sugars; the simple sugars could then be...

  • Lipid Profile in Pinot Noir Wine: Contributions to Taste and Mouthfeel Perception, Impacts of Winemaking Techniques, and Potential Use As Markers for Identifying Wine Origin

    Creator:
    Phan, Quynh K.
    Abstract:
    Wine taste and mouthfeel are essential factors that determine consumer acceptance, consumer preference, and wine quality. The three taste descriptors, sweet, sour, and bitter, are well understood and routinely appearing in wine sensory. In contrast, information related to mouthfeel sensations is still relatively limited. Winemakers have worked hard to craft...

  • Diversity combining ARQ over the m(> 2)-ary unidirectional channel

    Creator:
    Elarief, Noha
    Abstract:
    In diversity combining automatic repeat request (ARQ), erroneous packets are combined together forming a single, more reliable, packet. In this thesis, we give a diversity combining scheme for the m-ary unidirectional channel. A system using the given scheme with a t-unidirectional error detecting code is able to correct up to...

  • Network Coding, Random Matrices, and Their Applications to Communication Systems

    Creator:
    Nguyen-Huu, Duong
    Abstract:
    In this work, we study network coding technique, its relation to random matrices, and their applications to communication systems. The dissertation consists of three main contributions. First, we propose efficient algorithms for data synchronization via a broadcast channel using random network coding. Second, we study the resiliency of network coding...

  • Fast queuing policies via convex relaxation

    Creator:
    Nguyen-Huu, Duong
    Abstract:
    Traditionally, networking protocol designs have placed much emphasis on point-to-point reliability and efficiency. With the recent rise of mobile and multimedia applications, other considerations such as power consumption and/or Quality of Service (QoS) are becoming increasingly important factors in designing network protocols. As such, we present a new flexible framework...

  • Location Assisted Coding (LAC)

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Thuan
    Abstract:
    The recent increase in the number of wireless devices has been driven by the growing markets of smart homes and the Internet of Things (IoT). Consequently, current research has focused on efficient utilization of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to accommodate such an increase in wireless bandwidth. Alternatively, latest free-space...

  • People Counting System Using MmWave MIMO Radar with 3D Convolutional Neural Network

    Creator:
    Shih, Cheng-Che
    Abstract:
    Recent advances in computing, communication, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have made our world more interconnected and data-rich than ever with the proliferation of smart devices and sensors. As a result, we are increasingly dependent on electronic devices and sensors to automate away life’s mundane parts. For example, in business...

  • Optimal load and resource balance in internet distributed systems

    Creator:
    Nishida, Hiroshi
    Abstract:
    A distributed system is a network of multiple autonomous computational nodes designed primarily for performance scalability and robustness. The performance of a distributed system depends critically on how tasks and resources are distributed among the nodes. Thus, a main thrust in distributed system research is to design schemes for distributing...

  • Mobility Protocol, Channel Estimation and Modulation Techniques for Hybrid WiFi-FSO (WiFO) WLAN of Femtocells

    Creator:
    Chu, Yu-Jung
    Abstract:
    As the price of broadband access service becomes more affordable, the number of homes with WiFi and public WiFi hotspots in the US are projected to increase significantly in the next few years. However, limited capacity of existing WiFi networks fail to provide adequate bandwidth for densely populated areas. Therefore,...

  • Parameter estimation of Gaussian hierarchical model using Gibbs sampling

    Creator:
    Mbuthia, Juliana
    Abstract:
    Gibbs sampling method is an important tool used in parameter estimation for many probabilistic models. Specifically, for many scenarios, it is difficult to generate high-dimensional data samples from its joint distribution. The Gibbs sampling provides a way to draw high-dimensional data via the conditional distributions which are typically easier to...
