The Feasibility Of Data Whitening To Improve Performance Of Weather Radar, A. C. Koivunen, Alexander Kostinski Jun 1999

The Feasibility Of Data Whitening To Improve Performance Of Weather Radar, A. C. Koivunen, Alexander Kostinski

Department of Physics Publications

The problem of efficient processing of correlated weather radar echoes off precipitation is considered. An approach based on signal whitening was recently proposed that has the potential to significantly improve power estimation at a fixed pulse repetition rate/scan rate, or to allow higher scan rates at a given level of accuracy. However, the previous work has been mostly theoretical and subject to the following restrictions: 1) the autocorrelation function (ACF) of the process must be known precisely and 2) infinite signal-to-noise ratio is assumed. Here a computational feasibility study of the whitening algorithm when the ACF is estimated and in …

A Multilevel Secure Workflow Management System, Myong H. Kang, Judith N. Froscher, Amit P. Sheth, Krzysztof J. Kochut, John A. Miller Jun 1999

A Multilevel Secure Workflow Management System, Myong H. Kang, Judith N. Froscher, Amit P. Sheth, Krzysztof J. Kochut, John A. Miller

Kno.e.sis Publications

The Department of Defense (DoD) needs multilevel secure (MLS) workflow management systems to enable globally distributed users and applications to cooperate across classification levels to achieve mission critical goals. An MLS workflow management system that allows a user to program multilevel mission logic, to securely coordinate widely distributed tasks, and to monitor the progress of the workflow across classification levels is required. In this paper, we present a roadmap for implementing MLS workflows and focus on a workflow builder that is a graphical design tool for specifying such workflows.

Donald Umstadter Publications

Using interferometry, we investigate the dynamics of interaction of a relativistically intense 4-TW, 400-fs laser pulse with a He gas jet. We observe a stable plasma channel 1 mm long and less than 30 μm in diameter, with a radial gradient of electron density ∼5×1022 cm-4 and with an on-axis electron density approximately ten times less than its maximum value of 8×1019 cm-3. A high radial velocity of the surrounding gas ionization of ∼3.8×108 cm/s has been observed after the channel formation, and it is attributed to the fast ions expelled from the laser …

Interactions Between Bicrystal Josephson Junctions In A Multilayer Structure, H.Q. Li, R.H. Ono, L.R. Vale, D.A. Rudman, Sy_Hwang Liou Jun 1999

Interactions Between Bicrystal Josephson Junctions In A Multilayer Structure, H.Q. Li, R.H. Ono, L.R. Vale, D.A. Rudman, Sy_Hwang Liou

Sy-Hwang Liou Publications

We have fabricate and studied a variety of devices based on stacked YBa2Cu3Ox bicrystal Josephson junctions in a multilayer structure. The proximity of the junctions in the two layers produces a large number of effects based on interactions between the junctions. Voltage locking and current locking were observed in the stacked junctions. The voltage locking is due to the ac path provided by a SrTiO3 layer between the stacked junctions. The current locking is likely the result of a Josephson vortex interaction.

Decision Making Under Interval Probabilities, Ronald R. Yager, Vladik Kreinovich Jun 1999

Decision Making Under Interval Probabilities, Ronald R. Yager, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

If we know the probabilities p(1),...,p(n) of different situations s1,...,sn, then we can choose a decision Ai for which the expected benefit C(i)=p(1)*c(i,1)+...+p(n)*c(i,n) takes the largest possible value, where c(i,j) denotes the benefit of decision Ai in situation sj. In many real life situations, however, we do not know the exact values of the probabilities p(j); we only know the intervals [p-(j),p+(j)] of possible values of these probabilities. In order to make decisions under such interval probabilities, we would like to generalize the notion of expected benefits to interval probabilities. In this paper, we show that natural requirements lead to …

Fuzzy/Probability ~ Fractal/Smooth, Hung T. Nguyen, Vladik Kreinovich, Berlin Wu Jun 1999

Fuzzy/Probability ~ Fractal/Smooth, Hung T. Nguyen, Vladik Kreinovich, Berlin Wu

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

Many applications of probability theory are based on the assumption that, as the number of cases increase, the relative frequency of cases with a certain property tends to a number - probability that this property is true. L. Zadeh has shown that in many real-life situations, the frequency oscillates and does not converge at all. It is very difficult to describe such situations by using methods from traditional probability theory. Fuzzy logic is not based on any convergence assumptions and therefore, provides a natural description of such situations. However, a natural next question arises: how can we describe this oscillating …

Parallel Dassf Discrete-Event Simulation Without Shared Memory, James D. Chalfant Jun 1999

Parallel Dassf Discrete-Event Simulation Without Shared Memory, James D. Chalfant

Dartmouth College Undergraduate Theses

The Dartmouth implementation of the Scalable Simulation Framework (DaSSF) is a discrete-event simulator used primarily in the simulation of networks. It achieves high performance through parallel processing. DaSSF 1.22 requires shared memory between all processors in order to operate. This limits the number of processors available and the hardware platforms that can exploit parallelism. We are interested in extending parallel DaSSF operation to architectures without shared memory. We explore the requirements of this by implementing parallel DaSSF using MPI as the sole form of interaction between processors. The approaches used to achieve this can be abstracted and applied to the …

Two Algorithms For Performing Multidimensional, Multiprocessor, Out-Of-Core Ffts, Lauren M. Baptist Jun 1999

Two Algorithms For Performing Multidimensional, Multiprocessor, Out-Of-Core Ffts, Lauren M. Baptist

Dartmouth College Undergraduate Theses

We show two algorithms for computing multidimensional Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs) on a multiprocessor system with distributed memory when problem sizes are so large that the data do not fit in the memory of the entire system. Instead, data reside on a parallel disk system and are brought into memory in sections. We use the Parallel Disk Model for implementation and analysis. The first method is a straightforward out-of-core variant of a well-known method for in-core, multidimensional FFTs. It performs 1-dimensional FFT computations on each dimension in turn. This method is easy to generalize to any number of dimensions, and …

Improved Computer Detection And Mapping Of Cerebral Oxygenation, David H. Kung Jun 1999

Improved Computer Detection And Mapping Of Cerebral Oxygenation, David H. Kung

Dartmouth College Undergraduate Theses

Near-infrared (NIR) optical image reconstruction that incorporates blood oxygen level dependant (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging has the potential to improve both quantifiable measurement of oxygenation and the spatial resolution involved in such mapping. My thesis continues some preliminary work in this area through development of an analytic diffusion parameter estimation algorithm for use with a NIR imaging array and development of a finite element mesh utility to read a priori BOLD images and tag them with property elements for NIR image resolution improvement.

Investigating Measures For Pairwise Document Similarity, Jeffrey D. Isaacs Jun 1999

Investigating Measures For Pairwise Document Similarity, Jeffrey D. Isaacs

Dartmouth College Undergraduate Theses

The need for a more effective similarity measure is growing as a result of the astonishing amount of information being placed online. Most existing similarity measures are defined by empirically derived formulas and cannot easily be extended to new applications. We present a pairwise document similarity measure based on Information Theory, and present corpus dependent and independent applications of this measure. When ranked with existing similarity measures over TREC FBIS data, our corpus dependent information theoretic similarity measure ranked first.
