Bounds on the map threshold of iterative decoding systems with erasure noise
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Iterative decoding and codes on graphs were first devised by Gallager in 1960, and then rediscovered by Berrou, Glavieux and Thitimajshima in 1993. This technique plays an important role in modern communications, especially ...
Image enhancement for improving visibility and feature recognition
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Researchers analyze images in areas such as geology, bat cardiovascular systems
and art studies to verify their observations. Some images are hard to study as their details
are not vivid; hence there is a need to enhance ...
Delayed neutrons from the neutron irradiation of ²³⁵U
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
A series of experiments was performed with the Texas A&M University Nuclear
Science Center Reactor (NSCR) to verify ²³⁵U delayed neutron emission rates. A
custom device was created to accurately measure a sample's pneumatic ...
Nutrient regulation of an exotic, unidentified paratrechina sp. (hymenoptera: formicidae) found in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Colony fitness, size, and reproductive potential are determined by their ability to locate
and consume the optimal amounts of various macronutrients. Understanding the
nutritional regulation of an ant colony furthers our ...
A delay-efficient radiation-hard digital design approach using code word state preserving (cwsp) elements
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
With the relentless shrinking of the minimum feature size of VLSI Integrated
Circuits (ICs), reduction in operating voltages and increase in operating frequencies,
VLSI circuits are becoming more vulnerable to radiation ...
On how the debate about what is law should proceed in the face of the methodology conflict in jurisprudence
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This thesis focuses on the contemporary literature in Anglo-American analytic
jurisprudence that takes answering the question â what is law?â as the primary goal.
Agreement about what is lawâ that is, agreement about ...
Relative advantage of touch over vision in the exploration of texture
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Texture segmentation is an effortless process in scene analysis, yet its mechanisms
have not been sufficiently understood. Several theories and algorithms exist
for texture discrimination based on vision. These models ...
Privacy of encrypted Voice Over Internet Protocol
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
In this research, we present a investigative study on how timing-based traffic analysis attacks can be used for recovery of the speech from a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) conversation by taking advantage of the ...
Media representation of maternal neonaticide
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The present research conducted a rich discourse analysis of an episode of the fictional television crime drama, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, as well as a content analysis of local and national news transcripts focusing ...
IRLbot: design and performance analysis of a large-scale web crawler
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This thesis shares our experience in designing web crawlers that scale to billions
of pages and models their performance. We show that with the quadratically increasing complexity of verifying URL uniqueness, breadth-first ...
