The Ontological Discovery Environment (ODE) provides an efficient structure for storage of gene and pheno-
type relations. The relations can be represented by a bipartite graph, where the gene and phenotype items
can be ...
Non-invasive measuring techniques for determining biological parameters are more heavily researched with the growth of the biomedical industry. One of the top areas in non-invasive research deals with diabetes. This ...
Several research problems are discussed, including communication mechanisms and the interface between components and the glue logic used to tie them together. A technique for engineering new component-level applications ...
The Field Programmable Gate Array's (FPGA) constant growth in computing power has given embedded system developers a choice to replace their current processors with a FPGA. However, most systems continue to use the original ...
The characterization of the symmetries of boolean functions is important both in automatic layout synthesis, and in automatic verification of manually created layouts. It is possible to characterize the symmetries of an ...
This software package can be used to create the FHDL library file. This library allows one to use the FHDL parser and simulator software in your own projects. The package can be compiled either under Linux (i.e. gcc) or ...
Coconuts grow abundantly in tropical regions, and the coconut husk is often discarded as waste. However, a new application has increased interest in developing this previously underutilized resource. Coconut pith has ...
With the current state of legacy military avionic systems reaching its ceiling in memory space, processing power, and data-bus through-put (bandwidth), a need has arisen to maximize its limited resources to avoid extensive ...
In this report, I offer a technique for computing power sums that is: intuitive, well-motivated, generalizable to all k, and suitable for presentation to pre-calculus students.
This thesis presents design, analysis and simulation of a new current control
scheme for wind power generation system (WPGS). Proportional plus resonance (PR)
controller is proposed to improve the accuracy of the control ...
Due to the increasing environmental and economic cost of fossil fuels, alternative sources of energy are needed. One such source is energy wind energy. Much of the current wind turbine research focuses on large-scale wind ...
The problem facing the United Sates electric power industry today can be attributed to society’s ever increasing demand for energy, environmental concerns with reliance on fossil fuels, and uncertainty about an aging ...
This thesis presents the model of a power conditioning system (PCS) for the
hybrid direct fuel-cell with turbine (DFC/T) power plant. It regulates voltage, current and
power transmitted from the hybrid DFC/T power plant ...
An experimental jet impingement facility was constructed with the capability of conducting a detailed analysis of the local heat transfer coefficients beneath an array of large impinging jets. The facility was validated ...
Helical compression springs are normally used to provide a linear force response to compressive displacement. However, compression springs can be used to provide lateral force and rotational torque responses to lateral and ...
The creation of a capstone course for an un-
dergraduate computer science curriculum mirrors traditional software design. Initially, a high-level goal is created. This is refined into lower-level
specifications by ...
The use of horses as a means of therapy has been documented for some time. To determine why this type of therapy works and to provide a means of expanding its accessibility, a mechanical horse has been developed. Data ...
A new method for the determination of complex permittivity values is explained. The Waveguide-Cutoff method consists of a rectangular chamber with loop antennas for excitation from a Vector Network Analyzer. It then ...
One challenge faced by the engineering discipline in the near future is increased
electric power demand coupled with greater efficiency requirements for power generation
stations. Development of more robust control ...
As the demand for electric power grows and regulations on power plant operation become stricter, the size, and therefore complexity, of new power plant units is increasing while the intricacies of the multiple simultaneous ...
