Increasing Security In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks By Incentives To Cooperate And Secure Routing, Brandy Michelle Tyson Dec 2003

Increasing Security In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks By Incentives To Cooperate And Secure Routing, Brandy Michelle Tyson

Electronic Dissertations and Theses

A mobile ad hoc network is a self-organizing network that relies on the cooperation of participating nodes in order to function properly. In this network, mobile users arrive within the common range of a wireless link and collaborate in constructing the network topology in order to facilitate communication. Mobile ad hoc networks do not rely on any fixed, centralized routing infrastructure, so there is no base station to provide connectivity. This must be provided by the participating nodes. Although mobile ad hoc networks are quite beneficial in sparse areas and rescue operations, they have several properties, such as unreliable wireless …

He I Λ10830 As A Probe Of Winds In Accreting Young Stars, Suzan Edwards, William Fischer, John Kwan, L. Hillenbrand, Andrea K. Dupree Dec 2003

He I Λ10830 As A Probe Of Winds In Accreting Young Stars, Suzan Edwards, William Fischer, John Kwan, L. Hillenbrand, Andrea K. Dupree

Astronomy: Faculty Publications

He I 10830 profiles acquired with Keck's NIRSPEC for six young low-mass stars with high disk accretion rates (AS 353A, DG Tau, DL Tau, DR Tau, HL Tau, and SVS 13) provide new insight into accretion-driven winds. In four of the stars, the profiles have the signature of resonance scattering, and they possess a deep and broad blueshifted absorption that penetrates more than 50% into the 1 m continuum over a continuous range of velocities from near the stellar rest velocity to the terminal velocity of the wind, unlike inner wind signatures seen in other spectral features. This deep and …

Linear Perturbations In Brane Gas Cosmology, Scott Watson, Robert H. Brandenberger Dec 2003

Linear Perturbations In Brane Gas Cosmology, Scott Watson, Robert H. Brandenberger

Physics - All Scholarship

We consider the effect of string inhomogeneities on the time dependent background of Brane Gas Cosmology. We derive the equations governing the linear perturbations of the dilaton-gravity background in the presence of string matter sources. We focus on long wavelength fluctuations and find that there are no instabilities. Thus, the predictions of Brane Gas Cosmology are robust against the introduction of linear perturbations. In particular, we find that the stabilization of the extra dimensions (moduli) remains valid in the presence of dilaton and string perturbations.

Patenting Computer Data Structures: The Ghost, The Machine And The Federal Circuit, Andrew Joseph Hollander Dec 2003

Patenting Computer Data Structures: The Ghost, The Machine And The Federal Circuit, Andrew Joseph Hollander

Duke Law & Technology Review

Courts view "data structures," the mechanism by which computers store data in meaningful relationships, differently than do computer scientists. While computer scientists recognize that data structures have aspects that are both physical (how they are stored in memory) and logical (the relationships among the stored information), the Federal Circuit, in its attempts to set clear standards of the scope of patentability of data structures, has not fully appreciated their dualistic nature. This i-brief explains what data structures are, explores how courts have wrestled with setting a limiting principle to determine their patentability, and discusses the resultant impact on claim drafting.


Anisotropic Splitting Of Intersubband Spin Plasmons In Quantum Wells With Bulk And Structural Inversion Asymmetry, Carsten A. Ullrich, M. E. Flatté Dec 2003

Anisotropic Splitting Of Intersubband Spin Plasmons In Quantum Wells With Bulk And Structural Inversion Asymmetry, Carsten A. Ullrich, M. E. Flatté

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

In semiconductor heterostructures, bulk and structural inversion asymmetry and spin-orbit coupling induce a k-dependent spin splitting of valence and conduction subbands, which can be viewed as being caused by momentum-dependent crystal magnetic fields. This paper studies the influence of these effective magnetic fields on the intersubband spin dynamics in an asymmetric n-type GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7As quantum well. We calculate the dispersions of intersubband spin plasmons using linear-response theory. the so-called D'yakonov-Perel' decoherence mechanism is inactive for collective intersubband excitations, i.e., crystal magnetic fields do not lead to decoherence of spin plasmons. Instead, we predict that the main signature …

The Effect Of Time Delays In The Stability Of Load Balancing Algorithms For Parallel Computations, Chaouki T. Abdallah, J. D. Birdwell, John Chiasson, Zhong Tang, Nivedita Alluri, Tsewei Wang Dec 2003

The Effect Of Time Delays In The Stability Of Load Balancing Algorithms For Parallel Computations, Chaouki T. Abdallah, J. D. Birdwell, John Chiasson, Zhong Tang, Nivedita Alluri, Tsewei Wang

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Deterministic dynamic nonlinear time-delay systems are developed to model load balancing in a cluster of computer nodes used for parallel computations. The model is shown to be self consistent in that the queue lengths cannot go negative and the total number of tasks in all the queues are conserved (i.e., load balancing can neither create nor lose tasks). Further, it is shown that using the proposed load balancing algorithms, the system is stable. Experimental results are presented and compared with the predicted results from the analytical model. In particular, simulations of the models are compared with an experimental implementation of …


Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods In Robust Control Design, Chaouki T. Abdallah, Peter E. Hokayem Dec 2003

Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods In Robust Control Design, Chaouki T. Abdallah, Peter E. Hokayem

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Many practical control problems are so complex that traditional analysis and design methods fail to solve. Consequently, sampling methods that provide approximate solutions to such difficult problems have emerged. In this paper we address the deterministic quasi-Monte Carlo method of sampling and attempt to impose bounds on the error involved in the evaluation of the quality of performance of a specific controller over the whole plant parameter uncertainty space.


Spatiotemporal Databases: Models For Attracting Students To Research, Ágnes Bércesné Novák, Peter Revesz, Zsolt Tuza Dec 2003

Spatiotemporal Databases: Models For Attracting Students To Research, Ágnes Bércesné Novák, Peter Revesz, Zsolt Tuza

School of Computing: Conference and Workshop Papers

In higher education professors often make much effort to introduce their students to research. Unfortunately, the present standard database systems curriculum is composed of well-settled subjects that do not lead to research. The challenge is to bring the research frontier closer to students at beginner level. In this paper we describe how it can be done in the area of spatiotemporal databases. We propose a new database systems curriculum and illustrate its benefits by mentioning several highly succsesful student projects in some recent experimental introductory database systems courses that followed the new curriculum.

Loss-Based Estimation With Cross-Validation: Applications To Microarray Data Analysis And Motif Finding, Sandrine Dudoit, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Sunduz Keles, Annette M. Molinaro, Sandra E. Sinisi, Siew Leng Teng Dec 2003

Loss-Based Estimation With Cross-Validation: Applications To Microarray Data Analysis And Motif Finding, Sandrine Dudoit, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Sunduz Keles, Annette M. Molinaro, Sandra E. Sinisi, Siew Leng Teng

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

Current statistical inference problems in genomic data analysis involve parameter estimation for high-dimensional multivariate distributions, with typically unknown and intricate correlation patterns among variables. Addressing these inference questions satisfactorily requires: (i) an intensive and thorough search of the parameter space to generate good candidate estimators, (ii) an approach for selecting an optimal estimator among these candidates, and (iii) a method for reliably assessing the performance of the resulting estimator. We propose a unified loss-based methodology for estimator construction, selection, and performance assessment with cross-validation. In this approach, the parameter of interest is defined as the risk minimizer for a suitable …
