Defending Wireless Sensor Networks Against Adversarial Localization, Neelanjana Dutta, Abhinav Saxena, Sriram Chellappan Aug 2010

Defending Wireless Sensor Networks Against Adversarial Localization, Neelanjana Dutta, Abhinav Saxena, Sriram Chellappan

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper, we study the issue of defending against adversarial localization in wireless sensor networks. Adversarial localization refers to attacks where an adversary attempts to disclose physical locations of sensors in the network. the adversary accomplishes this by physically moving in the network while eavesdropping on communication messages exchanged by sensors and measuring raw physical properties of messages like Angle of Arrival, Signal Strength of the detected signal. in this paper, we aim to defend sensor networks against such kinds of adversarial localization. the core challenge comes from the sensors performing two conflicting objectives simultaneously: localize the adversary and …


Dynamic Social Grouping Based Routing In A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network, Roy Cabaniss, Sanjay Madria, George Rush, Abbey Trottay, Srinivasa S. Vulli Aug 2010

Dynamic Social Grouping Based Routing In A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network, Roy Cabaniss, Sanjay Madria, George Rush, Abbey Trottay, Srinivasa S. Vulli

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

The patterns of movement used by Mobile Ad-Hoc networks are application specific, in the sense that networks use nodes which travel in different paths. When these nodes are used in experiments involving social patterns, such as wildlife tracking, algorithms which detect and use these patterns can be used to improve routing efficiency. the intent of this paper is to introduce a routing algorithm which forms a series of social groups which accurately indicate a node's regular contact patterns while dynamically shifting to represent changes to the social environment. With the social groups formed, a probabilistic routing schema is used to …

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Our sense of touch allows us to feel the forces in our limbs when we walk, swim, or hold our arms out the window of a moving car. We anticipate this sense is key in the locomotion of natural flyers. Inspired by the sense of touch, the overall goal of this research is to develop techniques for the estimation of aerodynamic loads from structural measurements for flight control applications. We submit a general algorithm for the direct estimation of distributed steady loads over bodies from embedded noisy deformation-based measurements. The estimation algorithm is applied to a linearly elastic membrane test …

Influence Of Ambient Temperature On The Pm Emissions From A Gas Turbine Engine, Donald E. Hagen, Prem Lobo, Philip D. Whitefield, Max B. Trueblood

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

During Project AAFEX, PM emissions measurements were conducted on a CFM56-2C1 gas turbine engine in January 2009 in Palmdale CA. The engine was mounted on a NASA DC-8 aircraft, which was parked on the runway, and emission samples were extracted at the engine exit plane (1m), in the near field (30m), and in the advected plume (145m). The engine was operated at several power levels, and burned several fuels: JP-8, a Fischer-Tropsch fuel derived from natural gas (FT1), and a second Fischer-Tropsch fuel derived from gasified coal (FT2). In addition to these fuels, 50:50 blends of the Fischer-Tropsch fuels and …


A New Adaptive Compression Scheme For Data Aggregation In Wireless Sensor Networks, Priya Kasirajan, Carl Larsen, S. Jagannathan Aug 2010

A New Adaptive Compression Scheme For Data Aggregation In Wireless Sensor Networks, Priya Kasirajan, Carl Larsen, S. Jagannathan

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Wireless sensor nodes typically have limited processing capabilities and are powered by batteries. the amount of energy expended in transmitting a single data bit would be several orders of magnitude higher when compared to the energy needed for a 32-bit computation. Thus, to maximize network lifetime, data transmissions should be minimized without losing vital information. in this paper, a novel adaptive compression scheme using nonlinear estimation theory is proposed for data aggregation. Satisfactory performance of the proposed compression scheme in the presence of noise, distortion, and quantization errors is demonstrated using Lyapunov approach. the proposed scheme is contrasted with existing …


A New Receiver Placement Scheme Using Delaunay Refinement-Based Triangulation, Mohammed Rana Basheer, Sarangapani Jagannathan Aug 2010

A New Receiver Placement Scheme Using Delaunay Refinement-Based Triangulation, Mohammed Rana Basheer, Sarangapani Jagannathan

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper, a sub-optimal solution to the receiver placement and number of receiver determination problem is introduced. to achieve this overall goal, first, localization error for a received signal strength indicator (RSSI)-Based N-receiver system localizing a transmitter is estimated. Subsequently, this estimator error along with the 2D-tessellation techniques such as Delaunay refinement are used to position candidate receivers not only to minimize their number needed to meet the location error threshold but also to reduce the dilution of localization accuracy due to the layout of receivers. Rigorous mathematical analysis indicates that the receiver count generated by our Delaunay Refinement-Based …


Improving Electromagnetic Compatibility Performance Of Packages And Sip Modules Using A Conformal Shielding Solution, Nozad Karim, Jingkun Mao, Jun Fan Aug 2010

Improving Electromagnetic Compatibility Performance Of Packages And Sip Modules Using A Conformal Shielding Solution, Nozad Karim, Jingkun Mao, Jun Fan

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

High-speed digital and wireless devices radiate unintentional electromagnetic noise, which can affect the normal operation of other devices within the same system, causing intra-system electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems, or contribute to the total radiated EMI from the system, resulting in potential system-level EMI issues. PCB and system level shielding may alleviate the system-level EMI between wireless PCB board and the outside environment, but seldom prevent the intra-system EMI within the shielding enclosure. Package and System in Package (SiP) level shielding is desirable to shield the unintended radiation and protect the other circuits on board. Traditionally an external metal lid is …

Electrical Modelling Of Temperature Distributions In On-Chip Interconnects, Packaging, And 3d Integration, Lijun Jiang, Chuan Xu, Howard Smith, Barry Rubin, Alina Deutsch, Alain Caron

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this talk, we will introduce a novel methodology using existing electromagnetic modelling tools for interconnect and packaging structures to simulate and model the temperature distribution without major modifications to these tools or simulated structures. This methodology can easily be integrated with the chip technology information and frame an electrical circuit simulator into an automatic, template-based simulation and optimization flow. A new accurate closed-form thermal model is further developed to simplify unnecessary object details. The model allows an equivalent medium with effective thermal conductivity (isotropic or anisotropic) to replace details in non-critical regions accurately so that complex interconnect structures can …

The Perilipin Homologue, Lipid Storage Droplet 2, Regulates Sleep Homeostasis And Prevents Learning Impairments Following Sleep Loss, Matthew S. Thimgan, Yasuko Suzuki, Laurent Seugnet, Laura Gottschalk, Paul J. Shaw

Biological Sciences Faculty Research & Creative Works

Extended periods of waking result in physiological impairments in humans, rats, and flies. Sleep homeostasis, the increase in sleep observed following sleep loss, is believed to counter the negative effects of prolonged waking by restoring vital biological processes that are degraded during sleep deprivation. Sleep homeostasis, as with other behaviors, is influenced by both genes and environment. We report here that during periods of starvation, flies remain spontaneously awake but, in contrast to sleep deprivation, do not accrue any of the negative consequences of prolonged waking. Specifically, the homeostatic response and learning impairments that are a characteristic of sleep loss …


Reverse Engineering Of Oxygen Transport In The Lung: Adaptation To Changing Demands And Resources Through Space-Filling Networks, Chen Hou, Stefan Gheorghiu, Virginia H. Huxley, Peter Pfeifer Aug 2010

Reverse Engineering Of Oxygen Transport In The Lung: Adaptation To Changing Demands And Resources Through Space-Filling Networks, Chen Hou, Stefan Gheorghiu, Virginia H. Huxley, Peter Pfeifer

Biological Sciences Faculty Research & Creative Works

The space-filling fractal network in the human lung creates a remarkable distribution system for gas exchange. Landmark studies have illuminated how the fractal network guarantees minimum energy dissipation, slows air down with minimum hardware, maximizes the gas- exchange surface area, and creates respiratory flexibility between rest and exercise. In this paper, we investigate how the fractal architecture affects oxygen transport and exchange under varying physiological conditions, with respect to performance metrics not previously studied. We present a renormalization treatment of the diffusion-reaction equation which describes how oxygen concentrations drop in the airways as oxygen crosses the alveolar membrane system. The …


Asymptotic Analysis Of The Differences Between The Stokes-Darcy System With Different Interface Conditions And The Stokes-Brinkman System, Nan Chen, Max Gunzburger, Xiaoming Wang Aug 2010

Asymptotic Analysis Of The Differences Between The Stokes-Darcy System With Different Interface Conditions And The Stokes-Brinkman System, Nan Chen, Max Gunzburger, Xiaoming Wang

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We consider the coupling of the Stokes and Darcy systems with different choices for the interface conditions. We show that, comparing results with those for the Stokes-Brinkman equations, the solutions of Stokes-Darcy equations with the Beavers-Joseph interface condition in the one-dimensional and quasi-two-dimensional (periodic) cases are more accurate than are those obtained using the Beavers-Joseph-Saffman-Jones interface condition and that both of these are more accurate than solutions obtained using a zero tangential velocity interface condition. the zero tangential velocity interface condition is in turn more accurate than the free-slip interface boundary condition. We also prove that the summation of the …

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The transport of a charged adsorbate biomolecule in a porous polymeric adsorbent medium and its adsorption onto the covalently immobilized ligands have been modeled and investigated using molecular dynamics modeling and simulations as the third part of a novel fundamental methodology developed for studying ion-exchange chromatography based bioseparations. To overcome computational challenges, a novel simulation approach is devised where appropriate atomistic and coarse grain models are employed simultaneously and the transport of the adsorbate is characterized through a number of locations representative of the progress of the transport process. The adsorbate biomolecule for the system studied in this work changes …


Spatial Variations Of Crustal Characteristics Beneath The Hoggar Swell, Algeria, Revealed By Systematic Analyses Of Receiver Functions From A Single Seismic Station, Kelly H. Liu, Stephen S. Gao Aug 2010

Spatial Variations Of Crustal Characteristics Beneath The Hoggar Swell, Algeria, Revealed By Systematic Analyses Of Receiver Functions From A Single Seismic Station, Kelly H. Liu, Stephen S. Gao

Geosciences and Geological and Petroleum Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The Hoggar swell in Algeria is one of the significant massifs of northwest Africa. The paucity of high-resolution geophysical studies of the crust and mantle beneath the massifs is mostly responsible for the heated debates about the depth of the source region of the Cenozoic volcanism and the closely related uncertainty about the mechanism that formed and maintains the high elevation of the swells. Here we report results from a systematic study of 1386 high-quality receiver functions (RFs) recorded by station TAM, the only permanent broadband seismic station on the Hoggar swell. The resulting crustal thickness is about 34 km …

Considering the handling properties, the working time (Tw) increased from 50 sE9, 32 sE11 (BT 101, Ti-free) to 169 sE9, 74 sE11 with TW-Z (highest Ti content), respectively. The setting time (Ts) increased from 76 sE9, 47 sE11 (BT 101) …


Anomalously Elastic Intermediate Phase In Randomly Layered Superfluids, Superconductors, And Planar Magnets, Priyanka Mohan, Paul M. Goldbart, Rajesh Narayanan, John Toner, Thomas Vojta Aug 2010

Anomalously Elastic Intermediate Phase In Randomly Layered Superfluids, Superconductors, And Planar Magnets, Priyanka Mohan, Paul M. Goldbart, Rajesh Narayanan, John Toner, Thomas Vojta

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We show that layered quenched randomness in planar magnets leads to an unusual intermediate phase between the conventional ferromagnetic low-temperature and paramagnetic high-temperature phases. In this intermediate phase, which is part of the Griffiths region, the spin-wave stiffness perpendicular to the random layers displays anomalous scaling behavior, with a continuously variable anomalous exponent, while the magnetization and the stiffness parallel to the layers both remain finite. Analogous results hold for superfluids and superconductors. We study the two phase transitions into the anomalous elastic phase, and we discuss the universality of these results, and implications of finite sample size as well …


Theoretical Fully Differential Cross Sections For Double-Charge-Transfer Collisions, Allison L. Harris, Jerry Peacher, Don H. Madison Aug 2010

Theoretical Fully Differential Cross Sections For Double-Charge-Transfer Collisions, Allison L. Harris, Jerry Peacher, Don H. Madison

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We present a four-body model for double charge transfer, called the four-body double-capture model. This model explicitly treats all four particles in the collision, and we apply it here to fully differential cross sections (FDCSs) for proton+helium collisions. The effects of initial- and final-state electron correlations are studied, as well as the role of the projectile-nucleus interaction. We also present results for proton+helium single capture, as well as single-capture:double-capture ratios of FDCSs.

We have examined a complete phase diagram of Y1-x Lu xMnO3 with 0≤x≤1 by using bulk measurements and neutron-diffraction studies. With increasing Lu concentration, Curie-Weiss temperature and Neel temperature are found to increase continuously while the two-dimensional nature of short-range magnetic correlation persists even in the paramagnetic phase throughout the entire doping range. At the same time, the lattice constants and the unit-cell volume get contracted with Lu doping, i.e., chemical pressure effect. This decrease in the lattice constants and the unit-cell volume then leads naturally to an increased magnetic exchange interaction as found in our local …


Polarization And Ellipticity Of High-Order Harmonics From Aligned Molecules Generated By Linearly Polarized Intense Laser Pulses, Anh-Thu Le, R. R. Lucchese, C. D. Lin Aug 2010

Polarization And Ellipticity Of High-Order Harmonics From Aligned Molecules Generated By Linearly Polarized Intense Laser Pulses, Anh-Thu Le, R. R. Lucchese, C. D. Lin

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We present theoretical calculations for polarization and ellipticity of high-order harmonics from aligned N₂, CO₂, and O₂ molecules generated by linearly polarized lasers. Within the rescattering model, the two polarization amplitudes of the harmonics are determined by the photo-recombination amplitudes for photons emitted with polarization parallel or perpendicular to the direction of the same returning electron wave packet. Our results show clear species-dependent polarization states, in excellent agreement with experiments. We further note that the measured polarization ellipse of the harmonic furnishes the needed parameters for a "complete" experiment in molecules.

Processing And Characterization Of New Oxy-Sulfo-Telluride Glasses In The Ge-Sb-Te-S-O System, C. (Charmayne) Smith (Lonergan), J. Jackson, L. Petit, C. Rivero-Baleine, K. Richardson

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

New oxy-sulfo-telluride glasses have been prepared in the GeSbTeSO system employing a two-step melting process which involves the processing of a chalcogenide glass (ChG) and subsequent melting with TeO2 or Sb2O3. The progressive incorporation of O at the expense of S was found to increase the density and the glass transition temperature and to decrease the molar volume of the investigated oxy-sulfo-telluride glasses. We also observed a shift of the visNIR cut-off wavelength to longer wavelength probably due to changes in Sb coordination within the glass matrix and overall matrix polarizability. Using Raman spectroscopy, correlations …

Filtration experiments were carried out using both an AlF3 slurry-coated and an uncoated Al2O3 ceramic foam filter to study the removal of nonmetallic inclusions and impurity elements. the results showed that the 30-ppi ceramic foam filter removed up to 85 pct inclusions from aluminum. Several pictures of two- and three-dimensional morphologies of both nonmetallic and intermetallic inclusions also have been presented. the following contributing mechanisms for the removal of nonmetallic inclusions in the deep-bed filtration mode are proposed: (1) collision with walls and interception effect and (2) the formation of both intermetallic and nonmetallic inclusion bridges during filtration. Fluid dynamics …

A comprehensive study carried out to assess the seismic response of a 59-span bridge using a refined inelastic modeling approach and considering Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) is summarized in this paper. the focus is on describing the methodology adopted to idealize the bridge and its foundation system, while only highlights from the extensive elastic and inelastic analyses are presented. the bridge represents a typical case of vulnerable complex bridges since it was built in the early seventies with minimal seismic design requirements at a distance of about 5 km from a major fault. the SSI analysis is significant in this study …


An Intrinsic Circuit Model For Multiple Vias In An Irregular Plate Pair Through Rigorous Electromagnetic Analysis, Yao Jiang Zhang, Jun Fan Aug 2010

An Intrinsic Circuit Model For Multiple Vias In An Irregular Plate Pair Through Rigorous Electromagnetic Analysis, Yao Jiang Zhang, Jun Fan

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

An irregular plate pair with multiple vias is analyzed by the segmentation method that divides the plate pair into a plate domain and via domains. in the via domains, all the parallel-plate modes are considered, while in the plate domain, only the propagating modes are included to account for the coupling among vias and the reflection from plate edges. Boundary conditions at both vias and plate edges are enforced and all parasitic components of via circuit are expressed analytically in terms of parallel-plate modes. the work presented in this paper indicates that a previous physics-Based via circuit model from intuition …


Analysis Of Simultaneous Switching Noise Coupling In Multilayer Power/Ground Planes With Segmentation Method And Cavity Model, Gang Feng, Jun Fan Aug 2010

Analysis Of Simultaneous Switching Noise Coupling In Multilayer Power/Ground Planes With Segmentation Method And Cavity Model, Gang Feng, Jun Fan

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

An accurate power bus model is essential for predicting noise coupling in high-speed printed circuit board (PCB) and package designs. with a complex multilayer structure, the power bus is often modeled using numerical simulation methods. However, full-wave approaches are computationally inefficient, or even infeasible for extremely complicated geometries. Fortunately, the segmentation method makes it possible to combine different types of models together, and both simulation accuracy and efficiency can be obtained through this divide-and-conquer strategy. after segmentation, one of the fundamental blocks is a parallel plane pair. for this block, analytical expressions for the impedance (Z) matrix are available for …
