Large-scale modeling allows for a broad mechanistic view of a cardiopulmonary disease, often beyond what can be observed clinically. Our group has developed a large-scale model of the human cardiovascular-respiratory system ...

Multiuser detection strategies are derived and analyzed for several signal detection problems arising in Code-Division Multiple-Access channels. Modulation schemes which lend themselves to coherent and noncoherent demodulation ...

This dissertation develops several new results on wavelet design using both traditional and new optimization criteria. We consider three different design problems: two problems address explicit optimization of function ...

This thesis describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of a software system for optimizing synthesized logic circuits. The particular implementation described is targeted to the Xilinx Virtex family of FPGAs, but ...

A modeling technique has been developed which simulates a semiconductor device subjected to electrostatic discharge (ESD) stress according to the human body model (HBM). To accomplish this, a computer program was developed ...

Ever increasing demand for high data rate wireless transmissions with high spectral efficiency leads to utilization of communication systems with multiple transmit and receive antennas. In addition, excellent error-rate ...

As robotics has begun to spread from the accessible arenas of laboratories and industry into more dangerous and remote environments such as space or hazardous waste remediation tanks, the need for autonomous and intelligent ...

Network tomography is a promising technique for characterizing the internal behavior of large-scale networks based solely on end-to-end measurements. Despite the efficiency of active probing in most network loss tomography ...

Performance of parallel algorithms on multiprocessors has been traditionally analyzed by looking at either the algorithm or the architecture of the multiprocessor system. However, it is important to study the combined ...

Representation of an abstract system by a mathematical object such as a matrix or a differential equation is important because much of the analysis is done via representations. For discrete-time input-output systems, ...
