A Novel Expanded 16-Dimensional Constant Envelope Q2psk Constellation, Milton I. Quinteros, Kenneth V. Cartwright, Edit J. Kaminsky, Ricardo U. Gallegos Jan 2008

A Novel Expanded 16-Dimensional Constant Envelope Q2psk Constellation, Milton I. Quinteros, Kenneth V. Cartwright, Edit J. Kaminsky, Ricardo U. Gallegos

Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications

We introduce a 16-dimensional constant-amplitude constellation that is generated by concatenating either four constant envelope quadrature-quadrature phase shift keying (CEQ2PSK) symbols from Saha and Birdsall or four CEQ2PSK symbols recently discovered by Cartwright and also introduced here. Our new constellation doubles the number of points available for data transmission without decreasing the distance between points or increasing energy, and may therefore be used in a trellis coded modulation (TCM) system without constellation expansion penalty. Because the new constellation has constant envelope, the modulation scheme becomes very attractive for nonlinear channels such as the magnetic recording channel or the satellite channel …


Classification Of Cylindrical Targets Buried In Seafloor Sediments, Edit J. Kaminsky, Madalina Barbu Jan 2008

Classification Of Cylindrical Targets Buried In Seafloor Sediments, Edit J. Kaminsky, Madalina Barbu

Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications

This paper presents the development and evaluation of a time-frequency processing technique for detection and classification of buried cylindrical targets from chirpbased parametric sonar data. The software is designed to discriminate between cylindrical targets —such as cables— of different diameters, which need to be identified as different from other strong reflectors or point targets. The method is evaluated on synthetic data generated with an acoustic scattering model for elastic cylinders for seven different diameters. The model generates characteristic responses of targets acquired by a parametric sonar system. The signal at the sonar receiver hydrophones is first windowed to reduce the …

Course Description “Understanding ‘Rhetoric’ as the study of (very) effective discourse, oral and written, this seminar draws from primary and secondary sources to reflect from the entire twenty-five centuries of the struggle to understand and inform influential speaking and writing, with a view to informing emergent forms of the public communication of Christianity’s message.”

Ms 655 Cl 655 Mb 730 The Change Agent In Mission, Michael A. Rynkiewich

Syllabi

This is a course in applied anthropology and cultural dynamics with special attention to how culture change occurs, the dynamics and variables that effect change, and appropriate strategies for the church. The course also deals with contemporary areas of social responsibility for those in mission. In this postmodern, postcolonial age, everyone has a mission. Wherever one positions oneself, one has a perspective and a strategy for change. Anthropologists, missionaries, indigenous church leaders, development agencies, drug dealers: all have spiritual, political and economic interests to pursue. All are different from each other, all act out of a different view of society, …

Effects Of Illustrations On Retention And Visual Attention Using Authentic Textbooks, Loris P. Fagioli Jan 2008

Effects Of Illustrations On Retention And Visual Attention Using Authentic Textbooks, Loris P. Fagioli

Master's Theses

Problem

The purpose of this exploratory study was to validate a model of multimedia learning, incorporating learner-specific characteristics such as intelligence, memory, and measures of visual attention.

Method

The sample consisted of 62 Andrews University students (26 males, 36 females, and mean age 21.7). Data were gathered by means of standardized testing (RPM, WAIS- III) and eye-tracking. MLR was used to determine significant visual attention predictors for retention and SEM was used to test a hypothesized model of multimedia learning.

Results

Multiple Linear Regression was significant (p.05; GFI = .923; CFI = .986; RMSEA = .043; PGFI = .451) proving …

Collaboration is, of course, essential in the work of a government agency that deals with a variety of clients, and must be accountable to the Parliament and public of …


Two New Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) Feeding Indexes For Woods Of Varying Palatability, C. J. Peterson, P. D. Gerard Jan 2008

Two New Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) Feeding Indexes For Woods Of Varying Palatability, C. J. Peterson, P. D. Gerard

Midsouth Entomologist

In order for bait matrices, treated wood and resistant wood species to be properly evaluated in the laboratory for termite resistance or palatability, reliable tests that can distinguish between food choices must be developed; otherwise, inferior products may enter the marketplace. In the current study, a bioassay method is proposed that allows the calculation of two new feeding indexes, a Wood Resistance Index (WRI) and a Termite Preference Index (TPI). These indexes incorporate the feeding behavior of termites in both choice and no-choice situations. In tests using Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar), the WRI consistently provided statistically significant comparisons between three wood …


Rediscovery Of Pogonomyrmex Badius (Latreille) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) In Mainland Mississippi, With An Analysis Of Associated Seeds And Vegetation, J. A. Macgown, J. G. Hill, L. C. Majure, J. L. Setzer Jan 2008

Rediscovery Of Pogonomyrmex Badius (Latreille) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) In Mainland Mississippi, With An Analysis Of Associated Seeds And Vegetation, J. A. Macgown, J. G. Hill, L. C. Majure, J. L. Setzer

Midsouth Entomologist

Pogonomyrmex badius (Latreille)was considered to be a relatively common species in central and southern Mississippi before the introduction of the imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta and S. richteri, and before subsequent area wide control measures, but it has not been reported from the mainland since the mid 1930's. Recent collections in a relic sandhill community in Smith County have resulted in the rediscovery of this species in central Mississippi. Colony characteristics and microhabitat of P. badius are described. Observations of P. badius and other ant species found walking on the P. badius craters are provided. Seeds found in middens and …
