Entangled-Photon Compressive Ghost Imaging, Petros Zerom, Kam Wai Clifford Chan, John C. Howell, Robert W. Boyd

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

We have experimentally demonstrated high-resolution compressive ghost imaging at the single-photon level using entangled photons produced by a spontaneous parametric down-conversion source and using single-pixel detectors. For a given mean-squared error, the number of photons needed to reconstruct a two-dimensional image is found to be much smaller than that in quantum ghost imaging experiments employing a raster scan. This procedure not only shortens the data acquisition time, but also suggests a more economical use of photons for low-light-level and quantum image formation.

The Efficiency Of Brief, Intensive Drill Sessions In Achieving Articulation Objectives, Kathryn Ann Smith

Student Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the efficiency of using brief, intensive drill sessions in improving speech articulation in school-age children. Six children who met prerequisite criteria for inclusion in the study, including: (a) normal/corrected vision; (b) hearing abilities within normal limits; (c) ability to attend to task for approximately 15-minutes; (d) presence of a mild articulation disorder; and (e) enrolment in therapy the previous semester were included in the study. Results of the study indicated that all participants demonstrated more efficient gains in articulation of targeted speech sounds upon implementation of brief, intensive drill sessions. While the …

Cluster Control Of Automated Surface Vessels, Paul David Mahacek

Mechanical Engineering Senior Theses

This research focuses on the design and control of a fleet of robotic kayaks, and presents experimental data regarding the functionality and performance of the system. One of the key technical challenges in fielding multi-robot systems for real-world applications is the coordination and relative motion control of the individual units. Coordinated formation control of the fleet is implemented through the use of the cluster space control architecture, which is a full-order controller that treats the fleet as a virtual, articulating, kinematic mechanism. The resulting system is capable of autonomous navigation utilizing a centralized controller, currently implemented via a shore-based computer …

Biosensors For Brain Trauma And Dual Laser Doppler Flowmetry: Enoxaparin Simultaneously Reduces Stroke-Induced Dopamine And Blood Flow While Enhancing Serotonin And Blood Flow In Motor Neurons Of Brain, In Vivo, Patricia A. Broderick, Edwin H. Kolodny

Publications and Research

Neuromolecular Imaging (NMI) based on adsorptive electrochemistry, combined with Dual Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) is presented herein to investigate the brain neurochemistry affected by enoxaparin (Lovenox®), an antiplatelet/antithrombotic medication for stroke victims. NMI with miniature biosensors enables neurotransmitter and neuropeptide (NT) imaging; each NT is imaged with a response time in milliseconds. A semiderivative electronic reduction circuit images several NT’s selectively and separately within a response time of minutes. Spatial resolution of NMI biosensors is in the range of nanomicrons and electrochemically-induced current ranges are in pico- and nano-amperes. Simultaneously with NMI, the LDF technology presented herein operates on line …

Networks - I: Pre-Coordination Mechanism For Self Configuration Of Neighborhood Cells In Mobile Wi-Max, Abdul Qadeer, Khalid Khan

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

WiMax broadband services successfully providing triple play (Voice, Video and Data) support with combating the challenges of better quality and interoperability. Support for smooth mobility in real time with no wired infrastructure and being surrounded by GSM waves demanding a comprehensive and powerful network. Covering large areas through number of base stations which not only require time to configure but also need resources for implementation with a recurring cost of functionality. Automation is everywhere and to provide novel wireless services it is necessary to come up with some distinct features like intelligent base stations which have the capability of doing …

Faculty Publications

We present the results of a search for pair production of a heavy toplike (t ′) quark decaying to Wq final states using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.6fb -1 collected by the CDF II detector in pp̄ collisions at √s=1.96TeV. We perform parallel searches for t ′→Wb and t ′→Wq (where q is a generic down-type quark) in events containing a lepton and four or more jets. By performing a fit to the two-dimensional distribution of total transverse energy versus reconstructed t ′ quark mass, we set upper limits on the t ′t ̄′ production cross section …

Transcriptomic Profiles Of Peripheral White Blood Cells In Type Ii Diabetes And Racial Differences In Expression Profiles, Jinghe Mao, Junmei Ai, Xinchun Zhou, Ming Shenwu, Manuel Ong Jr., Marketta Blue, Jasmine T. Washington, Xiaonan Wang, Youping Deng

Faculty Publications

Background: Along with obesity, physical inactivity, and family history of metabolic disorders, African American ethnicity is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the United States. However, little is known about the differences in gene expression and transcriptomic profiles of blood in T2D between African Americans (AA) and Caucasians (CAU), and microarray analysis of peripheral white blood cells (WBCs) from these two ethnic groups will facilitate our understanding of the underlying molecular mechanism in T2D and identify genetic biomarkers responsible for the disparities.

Results: A whole human genome oligomicroarray of peripheral WBCs was performed on 144 …

Internal Electric Fields Due To Piezoelectric And Spontaneous Polarizations In Cdzno/Mgzno Quantum Well, H. C. Jeon, S. J. Lee, Tae Won Kang, S. H. Park, Yung Kee Yeo, T. F. George

Faculty Publications

We have investigated optical properties as a function of internal and external fields in the quantum well (QW). Optical properties of CdZnO/MgZnO QW structures are investigated by using many‐body effects. The CdZnO/MgZnO QW structure with high Cd composition is found to have smaller optical gain because the strain‐induced piezoelectric polarization and the spontaneous polarization in the well increase with the inclusion of Cd. These results demonstrate that high performance laser diode operation can be realized in CdZnO/MgZnO QW structures by reducing those polarizations adopting dipole reverse method.

The Role Of Mothers And Media On Emerging Adults’ Religious Faith And Practices By Way Of Internalization Of Prosocial Values, Carolyn Mcnamara Barry, Laura M. Padilla-Walker, Larry J. Nelson

Faculty Publications

In the current study, we investigated the role of emerging adults’ internalization of prosocial values as a mediator between maternal relationship quality and two types of media use (positive and negative) and religious faith and practices. Participants included 500 undergraduate students (ranging from 18 to 26 years; 75% European American) from five American universities. Structural equation modeling results indicated that both maternal relationship quality and positive media were related positively and indirectly (by way of prosocial values) to religious faith, and maternal relationship quality was related positively and directly to religious faith. In contrast, negative media use was related negatively …

Exploitation Of Unintentional Information Leakage From Integrated Circuits, William E. Cobb

Theses and Dissertations

Unintentional electromagnetic emissions are used to recognize or verify the identity of a unique integrated circuit (IC) based on fabrication process-induced variations in a manner analogous to biometric human identification. The effectiveness of the technique is demonstrated through an extensive empirical study, with results presented indicating correct device identification success rates of greater than 99:5%, and average verification equal error rates (EERs) of less than 0:05% for 40 near-identical devices. The proposed approach is suitable for security applications involving commodity commercial ICs, with substantial cost and scalability advantages over existing approaches. A systematic leakage mapping methodology is also proposed to …
