Robust and efficient methods for proton computed tomography.
(2018-07-23)Proton computed tomography (pCT) is a recent promising imaging modality with the goal of generating accurate 3D maps of relative stopping power (RSP) with respect to water. Since the early developments of this imaging ... -
Robust geolocation techniques for multiple receiver systems.
(2011-05-12)The purpose of this thesis is to investigate signal processing algorithms that allow multiple moving receivers to locate a stationary emitter. This problem has received considerable attention over the past 50 years, yet ... -
Semi-supervised learning for electrocardiography signal classification.
(2018-04-24)An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a cardiology test that provides information about the structure and function of the heart. The size of the ECG data collected from patients can be very large, and the data analysis is tedious. ... -
Side lobe modulation of radar antenna pattern utilizing an auxiliary array.
(, 2013-05-15)In the area of electronic countermeasures, disabling the ability of an individual to “listen” to the transmitted waveform is of great interest. Most often, an individual can intercept the transmitted radar signal through ... -
Simulation and measurement of the Guided Microwave Spectrometry system.
(, 2013-09-24)Previously, a novel microwave measurement device known as the Guided Microwave Spectrometry (GMS) system was developed for retrieving properties of material under test (MUT) and non-destructively measuring the composition ... -
Stochastic dynamic optimal power flow under the variability of renewable energy with modern heuristic optimization techniques.
(2017-06-19)With the increasing penetration of renewable energy to power systems, such as wind power, more challenges have been brought to system operations due to the intermittent nature of wind. Such influence can be reflected on ... -
Understanding the effects of high altitude electromagnetic pulse on the US power grid by creating a power grid model and analyzing transformer susceptibility.
(2019-04-23)The purpose of this thesis is to address two topics in understanding the effects of high altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) E3 by determining the latitude and longitude of loadflow buses, and analyzing transformers as ... -
What cannot create information, what can, and why it matters.
(2017-11-27)Meaningful information is a mystery, where does it come from? It cannot be made by anything deterministic or stochastic, as will be proven in this study. What can make it? The proofs indicate the nature of the source; ... -
Wind-turbine generator for load-following and its applications to primary frequency support and small-signal stability improvement.
(, 2011-09-14)In today’s power grid, the penetration of wind energy has been increasing. Meanwhile, many relevant issues have been explored. Among them, a novel active power control strategy named load-following has been given attention ...
