A Clustering Approach In Sensor Network Time Synchronization, Ramesh Krishnaram
A Clustering Approach In Sensor Network Time Synchronization, Ramesh Krishnaram
Theses
In recent years tremendous technological advances have led to the development of low-cost sensors capable of data processing activities. These sensor nodes are organized in to a network typically called wireless Sensor Network. WSN's are based on the principle of "Data Fusion" where the data collected from each sensor node is condensed into one meaningful result: Data Fusion is achieved by exchanging messages between the sensors. These messages are time stamped by each sensor node's local clock fuse reading. As noted in various references, Time Synchronization is a common feature used in networking in order to give the nodes a …
#13, Michael Frank
#13, Michael Frank
Theses
This thesis is an investigation into the nature of conceptual art and it's existence in an increasingly secluded and digitized cultural. The context of this paper exists within a realm of academia and attempts to provide an intellectual setting for the installation entitled #12. During this examination the dissertation does not limit itself to a particular medium, but rather attempts to analyze imaging and art from a perspective that takes into account the interactive dichotomies and paradoxical notions that, as a society we not only create but define our existence. As an artist I view the act prior to creation …
A New Architecture For Single-Event Upset Detection & Reconfiguration Of Sram-Based Fpgas, Ihesiaba Kamanu
A New Architecture For Single-Event Upset Detection & Reconfiguration Of Sram-Based Fpgas, Ihesiaba Kamanu
Theses
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) are used in a variety of applications, ranging from consumer electronics to devices in spacecrafts because of their flexibility in achieving requirements such as low cost, high performance, and fast turnaround. SRAM-based FPGAs can experience single bit flips in the configuration memory due to high-energy neutrons or alpha particles hitting critical nodes in the SRAM cells, by transferring enough energy to effect the change. High energy particles can be emitted by cosmic radiation or traces of radioactive elements in device packaging. The result of this could range from unwanted functional or data modification, data loss …

0.35um Implementation Of An Experimental Mixed Signal Image Compression Circuit, Reema Divatia
0.35um Implementation Of An Experimental Mixed Signal Image Compression Circuit, Reema Divatia
Theses
Switched-current is an analog, discrete in time, signal processing technique that is fully compatible with any digital CMOS technology. This means that analog circuits can be realized together with digital components on a single chip without any additional technological processes. In designs implemented using the switched-current technique, the individual circuit elements interact by the means of currents, which allows to reduce voltage swings and thus power consumption. This work investigated the implementation of a low power mixed signal image compression system in TSMC 0.35um technology. The major components of this system were two dimensional discrete cosine transform processor, analog to …
A Comparison Of Analog And Applied Setting Research Methods In Evaluating Motivational Distortion, Steven Verstraete
A Comparison Of Analog And Applied Setting Research Methods In Evaluating Motivational Distortion, Steven Verstraete
Theses
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the appropriateness of analog research designs in the assessment of motivational distortion. The responses of analog experimental groups instructed to fake-good (analog, n = 22) or respond honestly (classroom, n = 22) on the Sixteen Personality Factor (16PF) 5th Edition were compared to the responses obtained from a group of applicants to a graduate program in school psychology (applicant, n = 38). Results indicate a consistent pattern of increasing score desirability across groups, from classroom, to applicant, to analog, with significant differences (p<.002) between groups. Thus, the applicability of analog research findings to applied settings is called into question and Cattell's (1968,1986) trait-view theory is supported.

A Comparison Study Of Concentric Screening Versus Conventional Am Screening And Fm Screening In Offset Printing, Eugenio Carvajal
A Comparison Study Of Concentric Screening Versus Conventional Am Screening And Fm Screening In Offset Printing, Eugenio Carvajal
Theses
A new screening technology from Artwork Systems, Concentric screening, was evaluated against conventional AM and FM Staccato screening. The main feature of Concentric screening is to have very small concentric white circles inside AM halftone dots. Test targets were used in order to get information about different aspects of screening, such as: sensitivity to changes in ink film thickness; color gamut size, particularly for pastel colors; and detail rendering. A comparison was made between AM, FM, and Concentric screening. The results indicate that Concentric tints are more resistant to ink variation than conventional AM screening. Thus, the dot gain stability …
A Supply Chain Collaboration Solution Using Xquery, Bharani Govindasamy
A Supply Chain Collaboration Solution Using Xquery, Bharani Govindasamy
Theses
Enterprises in a collaborative supply chain share information for quick and intelligent decision making. Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR), a business model developed by an organization called Voluntary Inter-industry Commerce Standards, defines a set of business processes to collaborate on planning, forecasting and replenishment activities to arrive at a common order. This involves sharing sales forecast, order forecast and promotion information among business partners. The Internet has paved the way for using Web Services to share this information as XML data in real time and to make it available across enterprises. Enterprises need to access this information and integrate …

A Study Of The Effect Of Weight And Size On The Frequency And Height Of Drop Hazards In The Dhl Small Parcel Ground Environment, David Batz
Theses
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of weight and size (volume) on the way in which a package is handled in the DHL small parcel ground environment. This was done by recording with Saver units the number of drops, as well as the height of drops, that occurred using 9 different package configurations, in a DHL ground shipping environment. The data that was collected showed that the heavier the packaged product, the less frequently it is dropped. The weight of the package had no effect on the drop heights, and the size of the package had …
