During film-hole cooling, relatively cold air is extracted from the compressor of a gas turbine engine and forced through the turbine airfoils in order to lower their surface temperatures. To investigate the effects of ...

Stress fractures, a painful injury, are caused by excessive fatigue in bone. This study into damage accumulation in bone sought to determine if the Palmgren-Miner rule (PMR), a well-known linear damage accumulation ...

Mission planning for radar jamming escort missions is a tedious and complex problem to solve. For years this type of mission planning has taken many hours to solve and used multiple pilots to develop a solution. This thesis ...

Wireless body area network (WBAN) technology shows potential for improving human quality of life by facilitating remote, long-term health monitoring. Designing small, wearable, and power efficient on-body WBAN sensors ...

The increasing number of devices occupying the finite wireless broadband spectrum has led to serious concerns regarding spectral congestion. To facilitate radar and communication spectral coexistence, reconfigurable, ...

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have the potential to provide long-term remote health monitoring for the prevention of impending health problems through the constant relaying of data to health professionals. In order ...

Bearings-only localization is a problem with applications in the communications and defense sectors. Although the problem of point estimation for bearings-only localization has been well explored in the literature, there ...

ABSTRACT Improving the Learning Platform for the Leukocoria Detection Project James Boer, M.S. Mentor: Gregory J. Hamerly, Ph.D. In this paper we describe a new and signi cantly improved learning platform for the ...

This thesis documents the design and implementation of a radar imaging system. A rail system was constructed to control the location of an off-the-shelf ultra-wideband (UWB) radar along a linear path. Range imaging, ...
