KLJN Statistical Physical Secure Key Exchange System: Attacks and Defense
(2016-03-24)
The Kirchhoff-law-Johnson-noise (KLJN) scheme is a statistical/physical secure key exchange system based on the laws of classical statistical physics to provide unconditional security. This dissertation contains three main ...
Design and Implementation of Parallel Computing Models for Solar Radiation Simulation
(2015-12-07)
In order to simulate geographical phenomenon, many complex and high precision models have been developed by scientists. But at most time common hardware and implementation of those computation models are not capable of ...
Minimum Time/Minimum Fuel Control of an Axisymmetric Rigid Body
(2014-05-19)
Many times it is necessary to reorient an aerial vehicle during flight in a minimum time or minimum fuel fashion. This thesis will present a minimum time/fuel control solution to reorienting an axisymmetric rigid body using ...
Using High Throughput Screening to Acquire Promising Drug Candidates Against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(2011-07-27)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis currently affects 1/3 of the world's population. Over the past 20 years tuberculosis has become more resistant to all front line drugs used against it. Because of this, the threat of Multi Drug ...
Developing Homogeneous Sequences of River Flows and Performing Comparative Analyses of Flow Characteristics
(2015-09-23)
The objectives of the dissertation research are (1) to improve and expand capabilities for developing naturalized or otherwise homogenous river flows representing specified conditions of basin development for input to ...
National and Racial Identity and the Desire for Expansion: A Study of American Travel Narratives, 1790-1850
(2011-08-08)
This dissertation aims to investigate the shaping of a national literature within travel narratives written by William Bartram, Washington Irving, George Catlin, Thomas L. McKenney, Thomas Jefferson Farnham, and Francis ...
Study of Multi-Scale Plant-Groundwater Interactions
(2014-05-30)
Groundwater serves as one of the main and reliable water sources for human-being and groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDEs). GDEs are threatened by insufficient groundwater supply, due to increasing groundwater extraction ...
Bayesian Variable Selection in High Dimensional Genomic Studies Using Nonlocal Priors
(2017-12-01)
The advent of new genomic technologies has resulted in production of massive data
sets. The outcomes in such experiments are often binary vectors or survival times, and the
covariates are gene expressions obtained from ...
The Ability of a Cell Salvage System and Leukocyte Reduction Filter to Remove Hemangiosarcoma Cells from Dog Blood
(2016-05-06)
Hemangiosarcoma is the neoplastic growth of primitive cells that resemble endothelial cells. Dogs with hemangiosarcoma often present on an emergency basis due to tumor rupture and intraabdominal bleeding. Treatment involves ...
Towards the Development of Training Tools for Face Recognition
(2011-08-08)
Distinctiveness plays an important role in the recognition of faces, i.e., a distinctive face is usually easier to remember than a typical face in a recognition task. This distinctiveness effect explains why caricatures ...
