Efficient Message Dissemination Framework for Diverse Wireless Networks
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Wireless networks exhibit diversity, ranging from mostly disconnected delay tolerant
networks and partially connected mobile ad hoc networks, to mostly connected cellular
networks. Besides having useful applications, ...
Dynamic State Estimation Assisted Power System Monitoring and Protection
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The advent of phasor measurement units (PMUs) has unlocked several novel methods to monitor, control, and protect bulk electric power systems. This thesis introduces the concept of “Dynamic State Estimation” (DSE), aided ...
Minimum Entropy Generation in the Cardiovascular System
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
This study was performed under the motivation to find a scheme that could
describe the complex behavior of cardiovascular homeostasis. This is hypothesized to
be manifested in a thermodynamic description of the cardiovascular ...
A Corrective Strategy for Voltage Regulation in Distribution Grids with Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The increasing integration of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) poses unique challenges for voltage and frequency regulation in electric distribution grids. The mobility and variability due to PHEV loads exacerbates ...
A PMSG-Based Wind Energy Conversion System Assisted by Photovoltaic Power
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
This work discusses a hybrid power conversion scheme consisting of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based wind energy system and photovoltaic panels. The two energy sources are integrated with a battery to ...
Thermo-Mechanical Selective Laser Assisted Die Transfer
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Laser Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) techniques show promise as a disruptive technology which will enable the placement of components smaller than what conventional pick-and-place techniques are capable of today. Limitations ...
Content Dissemination Schemes for Mobile Clouds: Modeling, Analysis, and Verification
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
In this work, we capitalize on our previous work on the Hybrid Scheme for Message Replication (HSM) for opportunistic networks, to develop two content dissemination schemes for mobile clouds, namely, the Forecast and Relay ...
The Capacity Region of the Gaussian Z-Interference Channel with Gaussian Input and Weak Interference
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
We consider a wireless communication scenario with two transmit-receive pairs
where each of the transmitters has a message for its corresponding receiver and only
one of the receivers face interference from the undesired ...
The Effects of Spatial and Temporal Properties on a Viscoelastic Model of the Dyssynchronous Canine Heart
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
In this study, lumped parameter cardiovascular modeling has been used to understand
the influence of muscle properties on mechanical dyssynchrony (MD) as well as general
muscle dynamics. Incorporating viscous influence ...
Design of a Reconfigurable Pulsed Quad-Cell for Cellular-Automata-Based Conformal Computing
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
This paper presents the design of a reconfigurable asynchronous unit, called the pulsed quad-cell (PQ-cell), for conformal computing. The conformal computing vision is to create computational materials that can conform to ...
