• #### Design and Performance of PRAN: A System for Physical Implementation ofAd Hoc Network Routing Protocols ﻿

(2005-02-28)
Simulation and physical implementation are both valuable tools in evaluating ad hoc network routing protocols, but neither alone is sufficient. In this paper, we present the design and performance of PRAN, a new system for ...
• #### Design of a Fast, Efficient and Controlled DNA Shearing System Based on Lateral Acoustic Waves ﻿

(2012)
With the continuous research and advances in Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing technologies, the need for an efficient DNA shearing system has increased more than ever before. In this thesis, we propose a fast, efficient ...
• #### Design of a High-Throughput Flow Perfusion Bioreactor System for Tissue Engineering ﻿

(2012)
Flow perfusion culture is used in many areas of tissue engineering and offers several key advantages. However, one challenge to these cultures is the relatively low-throughput nature of perfusion bioreactors. Here, a ...
• #### Design of a New Type of Compact Chemical Heater for Isothermal Nucleic Acid Amplification ﻿

(2015)
Previous chemical heater designs for isothermal nucleic acid amplification have been based on solid-liquid phase transition, but using this approach, developers have identified design challenges en route to developing a ...
• #### Design of a paracorporeal artificial lung device in an integrative model of the ovine cardiovascular system ﻿

(2006)
Due to its similar cardiac output and size, the sheep often serves as an important animal model for the study of the human cardiovascular system and for studies of ventricular and pulmonary assist devices. We develop a ...
• #### Design of a parallel-group balanced controlled trial to test the effects of assist-as-needed robotic therapy ﻿

(2015)
In this methods paper, we report on the design of a clinical study testing the efficacy of a newly developed control scheme for robot-aided rehabilitation. To measure the value added by a new control scheme, we pursued a ...
• #### Design of Adaptive Overlays for Multi-scale Communication in Sensor Networks ﻿

(2005-06-01)
In wireless sensor networks, energy and communication bandwidth are precious resources. Traditionally, layering has been used as a design principle for network stacks; hence routing protocols assume no knowledge of the ...
• #### Design of Coded Modulation Schemes for Orthogonal Transmit Diversity ﻿

(2001-06-20)
In this paper, we propose a technique to decouple the problems of spatial and temporal diversity gain maximization involved in the design of space-time codes in fast Rayleigh fading channels by using orthogonal transmit ...
• #### Design of Coded Modulation Schemes for Orthogonal Transmit Diversity ﻿

(2001-05-20)
In this paper, we propose a technique to decouple the problems of maximizing spatial diversity gain, temporal diversity gain, and coding gain, involved in the design of space-time codes in Rayleigh fading channels. For ...
• #### Design of computationally efficient multiuser detectors for CDMA systems ﻿

(1997)
Linear multiuser detectors have been developed for CDMA systems to maintain a balance between the performance and computational complexity of the detectors. However for a system with a large number of users and huge data ...

(1997-05-20)
Linear multiuser detectors have been developed for CDMA systems to maintain a balance between the performance and computational complexity of the detectors. However for a system with a large number of users and huge data ...
• #### Design of control systems to meet l(infinity) specifications ﻿

(1993)
Three control system design problems aimed at meeting specifications given in terms of the $l\sb\infty$ norm, or peak magnitude, of disturbances and errors are solved. The specification in the first problem requires simply ...

• #### DESIGN OF LINEAR MULTIVARIABLE CONTROLLERS ﻿

(1984)
In this thesis, a recently developed computational method for the design of linear multivariable controllers is presented. For a given linear time-invariant multi-input-multi-output system, our objective is to find a ...
• #### Design of Linear Phase Cosine Modulated Filter Banks for Subband Image Compression ﻿

(1994-01-15)
Wavelet methods give a flexible alternative to Fourier methods in non-stationary signal analysis. The concept of band-limitedness plays a fundamental role in Fourier analysis. Since wavelet theory replaces frequency with ...
