This thesis explores the bit error rate (BER) characteristics of a convolutional decoder constructed of a backpropagation neural network (NN) using a newly proposed input shifting window. Due to the fact that each NN is ...

This dissertation consists of three papers, which describe a new capability for deriving slip-line fields (SLFs) from results of finite element analyses, and its application to the problem of metal cutting. The first paper ...

This study was aimed at improving the thermal modeling of the orthogonal machining process. The first goal was to improve the prediction of the heat partition coefficient (β) and the second was to improve the prediction ...

Research and development of graphene and graphene based materials have been increasing significantly since they were invented. This report presents the development of a highly conductive graphene thin film (GTF) to reduce ...
