Adaptive Disturbance Rejection and Stabilization for Rotor Systems with Internal Damping

Simon, Andras (2009-05-15)

Advanced rotor systems today consist of a lightweight rotor supported by radial active magnetic bearings (AMB). These systems are widely used in flywheel applications and in other fields where high rotational speeds are ...

Adaptive Estimation and Equalization of Doubly-selective Fading Channels using Basis Expansion Models

Kim, Hyosung (2010-12-07)

Wireless channels, due to multipath propagation and Doppler spread, are characterized by frequency- and time-selectivity, so-called doubly-selective wireless channels. In this dissertation, we concentrate on adaptive channel ...

Adaptive Governance of Coral Reefs: Cases of Florida and the Caribbean

Morris, Daniel (2023-04-13)

Coral reefs are one of the most imperiled yet one of the most valuable ecosystems on the planet, providing food, medicine, and property protection to hundreds of millions of coastal people all over the world. Coral reefs ...

Adaptive Image Acquisition with Consideration of Camera Optics

Ma, Tao (2012-04-30)

This dissertation addresses two common problems in image acquisition. We first introduce an adaptive image acquisition methodology by replacing the traditional birefringent filter with slight out-of-focus blur generated ...

An Adaptive Jam-Resistant Cross-Layer Protocol for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks In Noisy Environments

Kuhr, Mark G. (2009-03-10)

This dissertation contributes a jam-resistant communications protocol for use in a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). Specific focus is given to the network layer routing of packets within a MANET. A MANET is a self-organizing ...
