A Far-Field Radio Frequency Experimental Exposure System and 31 Day Exposure Experiment on Understanding Mice
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Many studies have been performed on exploring the effects of radio frequency energy on biological function in vivo. In particular, gene expression results have been inconclusive due, in part, to a lack of a standardized ... -
The Capillary-Centric Model of Coupling-As-Thermodynamics
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Models of ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) have historically described the heart as a function of its energetic interaction with the arterial system. However, these models either represent the dynamic, adaptive ... -
Capacity Region of Two Interfering Mimo Multiple Access Channels With Strong Interference
(North Dakota State University, 2015)We consider a communication network, where two mutually interfering 2-user MIMO Multiple Access Channels (MAC) operate simultaneously via the same time-frequency space, and characterize the capacity region of this network ... -
Encoding Efficient Attributes Using Prime Modulo Method For Anonymous Credentials
(North Dakota State University, 2015)The thesis explains a new method of encoding binary and finite set attributes in the anonymous credential system. To encode each binary and finite set attribute, we used the Chinese remainder theorem instead of using prime ... -
