This dissertation investigates the construction of nonseparable multidimensional wavelets using multidimensional filterbanks. The main contribution of the dissertation is the derivation of the relations zeros of higher ...

This thesis describes the development of two different methods to produce an optimal platform for immobilizing biological matter (cells and proteins). Firstly, transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) microelectrodes were ...

Decision-making and strategy choice during software development are influenced by many factors, from the technologies we use to our own personal qualities. Better understanding these factors may help enable better ...

In 2005, a major security flaw was discovered in Secure Hash Algorithm-1 (SHA-1), an NSA-designed cryptographic hash function, standardized by National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) since 1995. Basic ...

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are cryptographic protocols designed to provide secure communication between a web server and a web browser. This thesis introduces a unique approach to ...

Forward error correction enables reliable one-way communication over noisy channels by transmitting redundant data along with the message in order to detect and resolve errors at the receiver. Low-density parity-check ...

This dissertation provides a new methodology of using star observations and advanced nonlinear estimation algorithms to improve the ability of a space based Infrared tracking system to track cold body targets in space. ...

Energy efficiency and reliability management are two important aspects of real-time embedded systems, in addition to strict guarantees for timing constraints. The objective of this research is to optimize performance metrics ...

Unavailability of functional units and their unequal activity makes them performance bottleneck and thermal hot spots units in general-purpose processors. This thesis proposes to use reconfigurable functional units to ...

Crowdsourcing and the wisdom of crowds [5] have established that a large number of low quality inputs can be reliably aggregated to yield a higher quality output. This thesis examines whether the wisdom of crowds can be ...
