Sum-rate maximization for two-way active channel with unequal subchannel noise powers
(2016-06-01)Wireless parallel channels refer to certain wireless links, where the information is conveyed from a source to a destination through a set of parallel orthogonal subchannels. In such channels, the transmitted signals undergo ... -
Sum-rate maximization for two-way active channels.
(2014-11-01)In this thesis, the term passive channel refers to the conventional parallel wireless channel model, where there is no control over the gain of each individual subchannel. We de ne an active channel as a parallel channel ... -
Sum-rate optimal network beamforming and power allocation for single-carrier asynchronous bidirectional relay network
(2015-08-01)We study the problem of sum-rate maximization, under a total transmit power budget, for an asynchronous single-carrier bidirectional (two-way) network. The network consists of two single-antenna transceivers which wish to ... -
A supervised machine learning-based framework to detect low-level fault injections in software systems
(2022-08-01)Fault injection attacks inject faults into system components, inducing abnormal software behavior. Software vulnerability analysis cannot prevent new attack vectors without software modifications. Attack detection methods ... -
A Survey on Security and Attack Aspects of Passwords
(2018-01-19)Despite many weaknesses, passwords are still mainly used, and will continue to be used in the near future, for the user authentication process. Passwords remain one of the important pillars of the protection structure even ... -
System for evaluating effects of immersion in molten copper chloride salts on corrosion resistant coatings
(2014-12-01)Hydrogen, as one of the best alternative energy carrier candidates, is easier to sustain than fossil fuel. Hydrogen demand has significantly increased as a clean energy carrier. The Cu-Cl cycle is one of the capable ... -
A system framework for non-intrusive monitoring of HMI states for detecting human-in-the-loop error precursors
(2020-04-01)Past industrial accidents suggest that increased automation has had an adverse effect on operator situational awareness (SA) and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) errors. More so, any current automation is not yet capable of providing ... -
System integration and optimization of copper-chlorine thermochemical cycle with various options for hydrogen production
(2013-08-01)The Copper-Chlorine (Cu-Cl) thermochemical water splitting cycle is one of the most attractive alternative thermochemical cycles for clean hydrogen production due to its lower temperature requirement and better overall ... -
A systems approach to assessing the sustainability of hybrid community energy systems.
(2014-09-01)The goal to achieve a sustainable society that will endure over the long term is generally regarded as a positive evolutionary course. One of the challenges with this goal is developing a quantitative assessment of the ... -
A temporal topic model for social trend prediction
(2017-08-01)Social media provides increasing opportunities for users to voluntarily share their thoughts and concerns in a large volume of data. While user-generated data from each individual may not provide considerable information, ... -
Test case prioritization using transfer learning in continuous integration environments
(2023-04-01)Continuous integration (CI) systems use automated tests to verify software builds and optimize the testing process through test case prioritization (TCP). Recent research studies on TCP in CI environments have employed ... -
Test platform design and control of a bicycle-type two-wheeled autonomous vehicle
