In this dissertation, we introduce a new topology control problem for rule- based link-state routing in autonomous networks. In this context, topology control is a mechanism to reduce the broadcast storm problem associated ...

As intense laser pulses propagate in atmosphere, they experience dramatic self-focusing, spectral broadening and phase modulation, and they ionize atmospheric molecules. The self-focusing and ionization-induced defocusing ...

We developed a carbon nanotube biosensor platform that was deployed at the National Cancer Institute and successfully detected the HER2 oncogene in real cancer cells at clinically relevant levels. HER2 is a receptor protein ...

This thesis explores the use of unsupervised machine learning for spectrum sensing in cognitive radio (CR) networks from a security perspective. CR is an enabling technology for dynamic spectrum access (DSA) because of a ...

The 3-4 &mum spectral region, which contains a number of important lines for chemical detection and other civilian and military applications, has proven to be one of the most challenging for semiconductor laser development. ...

We address four problems related to multi-agent optimization, filtering and agreement. First, we investigate collaborative optimization of an objective function expressed as a sum of local convex functions, when the agents ...

Ultrathin galvanic cells that can comply with a variety of form factors and electronic system packages are of tremendous technological importance. They show promise for application in flexible electronic systems. This ...

The neural, auditory amplitude modulation transfer function (MTF) is estimated from 3 - 50 Hz using magnetoencephalography (MEG). All acoustic stimuli are amplitude modulated (AM). Two different dynamical stimulus types ...

Mobile Ad Hoc Network is designed and deployed to achieve self-configuring and self-healing. MANET utilizes distributed wireless stations for relaying data packets. Every single station in the MANET can decide routing path ...

The effects of a realistic memory system have not received much attention in recent decades. Often, the memory controller and DRAMs are modeled as a fixed-latency or random-latency system, which leads to simulations that ...
