Title: Self-Organization and Topology Control of Infrastructure Sensor Networks Infrastructure networks are complex, interconnected, and inter-dependent systems on which modern society has become almost totally dependent. They provide for cost-effective and efficient distribution of energy, communications, and transportation, yet are increasingly fragile
Title: Design and Testing of a Galfenol Tactile Sensor Array The smart material Galfenol, Fe(100-x)Ga(x), where 15<x<28, offers a unique combination of mechanical and magnetostrictive properties that are expected to lead to its use in new sensor and actuator concepts. This thesis
Title: Planar Electromagnetic Bandgap Structure for Wideband Switching Noise Mitigation in High Speed Circuits With the increasing demand for modern digital circuit with fast edge rates and high clock frequencies, simultaneous switching noise has become a major concern. When many active devices
The aging of bridges and traffic volume increase result in deterioration of bridge conditions and consequently increased risks to bridges and users. Highway agencies in the United States face challenges because of lack of sufficient resources to maintain bridges in good conditions.
Communication satellites offer an efficient way to extend IP multicast services for groups in wide-area networks. This poses interesting challenges for routing and security. Satellite networks can have wired and wireless links and different link-layer technologies like Ethernet and ATM. For security,
The current IEEE 802.11 medium access control standard is being deployed in coffee shops, airports and even across major cities. The terminals accessing these wi-fi access points do not belong to the same entity, as in corporate networks, but are usually individually
Halogenated flame retardant plastic sheeting may help to reduce flame spread in museums; however, the plastics contain chemicals that may be harmful to museum objects in situ, particularly metals. This study assesses historical and contemporary problems and benefits associated with flame retardant
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among the most widely distributed organic contaminants in aquatic sediments due to their presence in coal and petroleum. While it has been demonstrated that PAHs are degraded under anaerobic conditions… Author: UM, YOUNGSOON Source: University of Maryland
Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a phenomenon that occurs when pyrite that is present in abandoned coal mines comes in contact with oxygen and water, forming acidic water rich in dissolved metals. Grout injection into mines is a popular… Author: Bulusu, Sowmya
Modern control systems often consist of networks of components that must share a common communication channel. Not all components of the networked control system can communicate with one another simultaneously at any given time. The “attention” that each component receives is an
