A flexible application layer approach to data aggregation
(Wichita State University, 2014-07)Data aggregation techniques traditionally utilize cross-layer optimizations, which prove challenging to implement and are applicable only to a few related scenarios, while each new scenario requires a new approach. Proposed ... -
A flexible near-field biosensor for multisite arterial blood flow detection
(NLM (Medline), 2022-11-01)Modern wearable devices show promising results in terms of detecting vital bodily signs from the wrist. However, there remains a considerable need for a device that can conform to the human body’s variable geometry ... -
A flexible, wireless, skin-wearable device for real-time ambulatory ECG monitoring
(Wichita State University, 2022-04-29)Cardiovascular diseases being the leading cause of mortality in the US, create a prominent need for prolonged ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. Therefore, this study has focused on developing a compact ambulatory ... -
A framework for measuring post-attack system-wide anonymity in anonymous communication systems
(Wichita State University, 2018-12)We develop techniques for measuring the amount of anonymity provided by anonymity systems in the aftermath of attacks. Anonymity systems are special systems that enable their users to carry out anonymous communication over ... -
A framework for pediatrics clinic no-show prediction using elastic net and Bayesian Belief Network
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)No-Shows not only creates additional cost for healthcare facilities but also affect the quality of care for the patients. This study predicts the no-show probability of the patient with using demographic, social and ... -
A fuzzy multicriteria generation expansion planning model
(Inderscience Publishers, 2011)In this paper, we present a fuzzy multi-objective model for power generation expansion planning problem with uncertainty in objective functions and demand balance constraints. The purpose of the fuzzy generation expansion ... -
A generic Bayesian approach using Laplace approximation for model-based failure prognosis
(Wichita State University, 2013-12)A generic Bayesian framework using Laplace approximation for model-based remaining useful life prognosis is presented in this thesis. The developed generic Bayesian prognosis approach models and updates the remaining useful ... -
A genetic algorithm for battery-based energy storage transportation using railway
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)The use of renewable energy sources has increased significantly in the past few years. Due to the intermittent nature of the renewable energy sources, planning and distribution of this energy is considered a challenging ... -
A genetic algorithm metaheuristic for bakery distribution vehicle routing problem with load balancing
(2011-05)In this paper, we analyze a distribution problem at a bakery company in Istanbul, Turkey. The bakery wants to distribute products with the available fleets of trucks, while maintaining balance in workload between different ... -
A graphical approach for designing a unified PID controller with a Smith predictor
(Wichita State University, 2021-04-02)Classical and modern control systems separate design techniques into two camps, one designated for continuous-time systems, while the other handles systems that exhibits discrete response behavior. A unified approach offers, ... -
A hybrid automatic gain control scheme for TDD communication systems
(IEEE Computer Society, 2023-03-11)In this paper, we propose an improvement to existing automatic gain control (AGC) schemes for time division duplex (TDD) systems. Due to the large signal power difference between uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) subframes in ... -
A hybrid finite element analysis of shot peen contour forming using residual stress measurements
(Wichita State University, 2013-07)In order to develop surfaces that have the proper curvature for aerospace structures, it is sometimes necessary to use shot peen forming, also known as contour forming, to create the desired shape in a piece of metal. Since ... -
