Novel Time Domain Radiowave Propagators For Wireless Communication Systems, Funda Akleman, M. O. Özyalçin, Levent Sevgi̇ Jan 2002

Novel Time Domain Radiowave Propagators For Wireless Communication Systems, Funda Akleman, M. O. Özyalçin, Levent Sevgi̇

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this study, novel time domain wave propagators are used in path loss calculations for macro and micro cell coverage planning in wireless communication systems. Both Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) and Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) based propagators, which were introduced recently and validated and verified on different canonical propagation scenarios, are used for this purpose. Examples are chosen both in rural and urban areas, where two propagators are compared with each other. Excellent agreement between the results obtained via two propagators is presented. The results presented here are very encouraging and these propagators are shown to be powerful tools for not …

Floquet Wave Diffraction Theory For Tapered Planar Strip Array Green's Function, F. Capolino, F. Mariottini, S. Maci, L. B. Felsen Jan 2002

Floquet Wave Diffraction Theory For Tapered Planar Strip Array Green's Function, F. Capolino, F. Mariottini, S. Maci, L. B. Felsen

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper deals with the derivation and physical interpretation of a uniform high frequency representation of the Green's function for a planar phased array of dipoles. The asymptotic representation is based on Floquet wave edge diffraction theory herein extended to accommodate slowly varying tapered amplitude illumination with possible inclusion of dipole amplitudes that tend to zero at the edge. The phased array is assumed to be infinite with uniform amplitude excitation in the z-direction but finite and amplitude-tapered in the x-direction. This geometry permits study of diffraction phenomena occurring at the tapered edge of a rectangular array when the observation …

An Exact Line Integral Representation Of The Po Radiation Integral From A Flat Perfectly Conducting Surfaces Illuminated By Elementary Electric Or Magnetic Dipoles, Matteo Albani, Stefano Maci Jan 2002

An Exact Line Integral Representation Of The Po Radiation Integral From A Flat Perfectly Conducting Surfaces Illuminated By Elementary Electric Or Magnetic Dipoles, Matteo Albani, Stefano Maci

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a line integral representation for the PO radiation integral from a flat perfectly conducting surface, illuminated by an arbitrary oriented elementary either electric or magnetic dipole, is presented. No restriction is imposed on the position of the source and of the observation point. The main application of this result is the acceleration of the numerical PO integration for electrically large surfaces. The formulation is based on the application of the equivalence principle to a projecting surface which allows the analytical evaluation in closed form of one of the two-fold surface integral which define the radiated field at …

Factors Influencing Teachers' Decisions To Refer Students For Special Education Evaluation, Amanda R. Perry Jan 2002

Factors Influencing Teachers' Decisions To Refer Students For Special Education Evaluation, Amanda R. Perry

Masters Theses

This study examined the factors that influence teachers to refer students for psycho-educational evaluation. Fifty seven teachers from Midwest and Southwest suburban and rural school districts completed a questionnaire designed to gather information about the factors teachers consider when referring students for evaluation, as well as their opinion of the etiology of Learning Disability and their preferences for services. Results indicated that the most influential factors in participants' referral decisions were low achievement and behavioral problems. The majority of teachers agreed that eligibility decisions should be based on the child's needs. However, there was no agreement that an ability-achievement discrepancy …

On The Modular Curve X(6) And Surfaces Admitting Genus 2 Fibrations, Gülay Karadoğan Jan 2002

On The Modular Curve X(6) And Surfaces Admitting Genus 2 Fibrations, Gülay Karadoğan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we study the moduli spaces of surfaces admitting nonsmooth genus 2 fibrations with slope \lambda = 6 (necessarily) over curves of genus \geq 1. We determine the structure of each connected component of these moduli spaces. Our results fill the gap of earlier work in the literature to complete the picture of the moduli spaces of genus 2 fibrations over curves of genus \geq 2 except for the case of \lambda = 4.

Evaluating The Prevalence, Content And Readability Of Complementary And Alternative Medicine (Cam) Web Pages On The Internet, Smitha Sagaram, Muhammad Walji, Elmer Bernstam Jan 2002

Evaluating The Prevalence, Content And Readability Of Complementary And Alternative Medicine (Cam) Web Pages On The Internet, Smitha Sagaram, Muhammad Walji, Elmer Bernstam

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use is growing rapidly. As CAM is relatively unregulated, it is important to evaluate the type and availability of CAM information. The goal of this study is to deter-mine the prevalence, content and readability of online CAM information based on searches for arthritis, diabetes and fibromyalgia using four common search engines. Fifty-eight of 599 web pages retrieved by a "condition search" (9.6%) were CAM-oriented. Of 216 CAM pages found by the "condition" and "condition + herbs" searches, 78% were authored by commercial organizations, whose pur-pose involved commerce 69% of the time and 52.3% had no …

Modal Predicates And Coequations, Alexander Kurz, Jiří Rosický Jan 2002

Modal Predicates And Coequations, Alexander Kurz, Jiří Rosický

Engineering Faculty Articles and Research

We show how coalgebras can be presented by operations and equations. This is a special case of Linton’s approach to algebras over a general base category X, namely where X is taken as the dual of sets. Since the resulting equations generalise coalgebraic coequations to situations without cofree coalgebras, we call them coequations. We prove a general co-Birkhoff theorem describing covarieties of coalgebras by means of coequations. We argue that the resulting coequational logic generalises modal logic.

A Random Walk, Absorbtion, And Enumeration Of Returns, Joanna Cecile Rochester Jan 2002

A Random Walk, Absorbtion, And Enumeration Of Returns, Joanna Cecile Rochester

Honors Theses

The general notion of a Markov Chain is introduced in Chapter 1, and a theorem is proven characterizing the two-state Markov Chain. The concept central to the thesis, the Random Walk, is introduced in Chapter 2 and a thorough analysis is presented of a Random Walk in one dimension with a single absoring state. A theorem is proven which provides probabilities of absorption for arbitrary starting points. The theoretical results are then tested by computer simulation, yielding a very satisfying match with the predictions of the theorem. Finally, in Chapter 3 a modification of the Random Walk withou absoring states …

Efficient Algorithms For Creation Of Linearly-Independent Decision Diagrams And Their Mapping To Regular Layouts, Marek Perkowski, Bogdan Jaroslaw Falkowski, Malgorzata Chrzanowska-Jeske, Rolf Dreschler Jan 2002

Efficient Algorithms For Creation Of Linearly-Independent Decision Diagrams And Their Mapping To Regular Layouts, Marek Perkowski, Bogdan Jaroslaw Falkowski, Malgorzata Chrzanowska-Jeske, Rolf Dreschler

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

A new kind of a decision diagrams are presented: its nodes correspond to all types of nonsingular expansions for groups of input variables, in particular pairs. The diagrams are called the Linearly Independent (LI) Decision Diagrams (LI DDs). There are 840 nonsigular expansions for a pair of variables, thus 840 different types of nodes in the tree. Therefore, the number of nodes in such (exact) diagrams is usually much smaller than the number of nodes in the well-known Kronecker diagrams (which have only single-variable Shannon, Positive Davio, and Negative Davio expansions in nodes). It is usually much smaller than 1/3 …

Generalized Inclusive Forms — New Canonical Reed-Muller Forms Including Minimum Esops, Marek Perkowski, Alan Mishchenko, Malgorzata Chzanowka-Jeske Jan 2002

Generalized Inclusive Forms — New Canonical Reed-Muller Forms Including Minimum Esops, Marek Perkowski, Alan Mishchenko, Malgorzata Chzanowka-Jeske

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Reed-Muller (AND/EXOR) expansions play an important role in logic synthesis and circuit design by producing economical and highly-testable implementations of Boolean functions [3–6]. The range of Reed-Muller expansions include canonical forms, i.e. expansions that create unique representations of a Boolean function. Several large families of canonical forms: fixed polarity Reed-Muller forms (FPRMs), generalized Reed-Muller forms (GRMs), Kronecker forms (KROs), and pseudo- Kronecker forms (PKROs), referred to as the Green/Sasao hierarchy, have been described [7–9]. (See Fig. 1 for a settheoretic relationship between these families.)
