The woollen coat, for example, which covers the day-labourer, as coarse and rough as it may appear, is the produce of the joint labour of a great multitude of workmen. The shepherd, the sorter of the wool, the wool-comber or carder, the dyer, the scribbler, the spinner, the weaver, the fuller, the dresser, with many others, must all join their different arts in order to complete even this homel...

We present a concept for a medium scale satellite mission to measurement the Bmode polarization in the CMB at large angular scales. The idea is to close pack a multifrequency array of ∼1500 corrugated feeds to make a “feed farm”. The majority point along the spin axis of the satellite. The primary modulation is obtained by spinning the satellite. Thus, in any instant the polarization in one dir...

ACKNOWLEGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, Prof. Ali Adibi, for his support and guidance throughout my PhD years, and for giving me the chance to be a part of the Georgia Tech community. the past six years. for their kind efforts in reviewing the present dissertation, and for honoring me with their presence at my doctoral defense session. especially Devin Brown and Gar...

A 55-year-old male runner was found to have severe three-vessel coronary disease on angiography soon after completing a 25-mile marathon with no symptoms. This patient raises important questions concerning our understanding of ischemic heart disease.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) may be important mediators of the profound molecular and cellular changes that occur after traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the changes and possible roles of miRNAs induced by voluntary exercise prior to TBI are still not known. In this report, the microarray method was used to demonstrate alterations in miRNA expression levels in the cerebral cortex of TBI mice that we...

Inverse Artificial neural network (iANN) is applied to optimize the parameters for hydraulic turbine runner blades. This proposed method (iANN) inverts the artificial neural network (ANN) and uses an optimization method to find the optimum parameter value (or unknown parameter) for given required conditions. In order to do so, first an ANN, which consists of a feedforward network with one hidde...

We study a generalisation of sabotage games, a model of dynamic network games introduced by van Benthem [16]. The original definition of the game is inherently finite and therefore does not allow one to model infinite processes. We propose an extension of the sabotage games in which the first player (Runner) traverses an arena with dynamic weights determined by the second player (Saboteur). In ...
