On A Joint Physical Layer And Medium Access Control Sublayer Design For Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks And Applications, Mahir Lumumba Meghji
On A Joint Physical Layer And Medium Access Control Sublayer Design For Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks And Applications, Mahir Lumumba Meghji
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are distributed networks comprising small sensing devices equipped with a processor, memory, power source, and often with the capability for short range wireless communication. These networks are used in various applications, and have created interest in WSN research and commercial uses, including industrial, scientific, household, military, medical and environmental domains. These initiatives have also been stimulated by the finalisation of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, which defines the medium access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) for low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPAN).
Future applications may require large WSNs consisting of huge numbers of inexpensive wireless sensor …
A Model For Systematically Investigating Relationships Between Variables That Affect The Performance Of Novice Programmers, Vivian Campbell
A Model For Systematically Investigating Relationships Between Variables That Affect The Performance Of Novice Programmers, Vivian Campbell
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
This research was motivated by an interest in novices learning to program
and a desire to understand the factors that affect their learning. The
traditional approach to performing such an investigation has been to select
factors which may be important and then perform statistical tests on a few
potential relationships. A new research model is proposed and tested to
ensure that a thorough and systematic investigation of the data is performed.
This thesis describes the data, defines the model and explains the
application and validation of the model.
The research process is managed by a control algorithm that is the …
Investigation On The Mobile Robot Navigation In An Unknown Environment, Ahmed S. Khusheef
Investigation On The Mobile Robot Navigation In An Unknown Environment, Ahmed S. Khusheef
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Mobile robots could be used to search, find, and relocate objects in many types of manufacturing operations and environments. In this scenario, the target objects might reside with equal probability at any location in the environment and, therefore, the robot must navigate and search the whole area autonomously, and be equipped with specific sensors to detect objects. Novel challenges exist in developing a control system, which helps a mobile robot achieve such tasks, including constructing enhanced systems for navigation, and vision-based object recognition. The latter is important for undertaking the exploration task that requires an optimal object recognition technique.
